Cancellation of Maha Purush Yoga
8.1
Most of us ascribe great success and fortunes to a native, who has a Maha
Purush Yoga in his chart. However, in practice, all Maha Purush Yoga giving
planets do not give auspicious results during their dasha, Antar-dasha periods.
I have often met natives rueing their luck and exclaiming why a particular Maha
Purush yoga is not working in their horoscope. The classics do not suggest any
clear theory / rules for cancellation of a Maha Purush Yoga. However stray
points have been given to suggest when Maha Purush yoga may not give full
beneficial results or become defunct. As per Mansagri, Chapter 13, Verse9, “The
conjunction of yoga-giving planets with Sun or Moon, leads to cancellation of
such yoga and only ordinary results should be expected in such planets’ dasha
or Antar-dasha”. This theory was tested on a number of charts, but the results
were not convincing.
8.2
However as per ChandrakalaNadi or Devakeralam (Vol, II, Part I, Verse 27), “If
Jupiter is conjoined with or aspected by Saturn, Malavya Yoga generated by
Venus, is cancelled and the native is troubled by the blemish. The same verse
is repeated in Kerala Nadi with the addition of one more condition, “If Jupiter
is conjoined with or aspected by Saturn and Venus is with Ketu, Malavya Yoga
gets cancelled”. These sutras were carefully analysed, and it was noted that
Jupiter is the lord of exaltation sign of Venus, while Saturn is the lord od
debilitation sign of Jupiter. From this evolved the hypothesis for cancellation
of any Maha Purush Yoga, as under;
i)
If
the lord of exalted sign of a yoga producing planet is conjoined or aspected by
its debilitation lord, the effect of yoga producing planet stands nullified.
OR/AND
ii)
If
the yoga producing planet is conjoined by Ketu, its effects are nullified.
ii) If
the yoga producing planet is conjoined by Ketu, its effects are nullified.
8.3 To
summarise above points, following table is prepared for easy reference and
follow upo.

Mercury aspecting Venus is
astronomically impossible, unless one consider aspects in divisional charts.
The above theory has been
tested on a number of horoscopes. The second condition of conjunction of Ketu,
though an additional confirmation of cancellation, could not be tested. I
invite readers to try it also and give me a feed back. One of my friends, Dr.
Rakesh Prakash (Chart No. 44) has Two Maha Purush Yoga in his horoscope – Hamsa
Yoga in lagna and Sasa yoga in 4th house. During Jupiter Dasha, due
to presence of Hamsa Yoga, he had an extra-ordinary brilliant academic career.
But his Saturn dasha, in spite of having Sasa Yoga was just ordinary. The
reason was not far to see. He has Venus conjoined Mercury in 3rd
house, nullifying Sasa Yoga.

Gajkesari Yoga
9.1
This is one of the most powerful & dignified Raj (royal) and Dhan (wealth)
Yoga, which would not allow a native to suffer or profligate. In regard to
efficacy to prevent evils, this yoga has been found to work with amazing
results. The term “Gajkesari” is a twin Hindi word meaning an elephant & a
lion, both nature’s most impressive creatures and giants among animals. This
yoga is supposed to confer on the native the vigour of a lion, yet the
solemnity of an elephant. It might also mean the capability to ride a lion and
an elephant, suggestive of excessive strength and a very high status.
9.2
This yoga is said to confer when Jupiter occupies a Kendra (1, 4, 7 or 10th)
position in relation to the Moon. This is a standard definition, although some
classics differ slightly here and there. As per Jatak Parijat, if the Moon is
aspected by the remaining benefics (Mercury, Jupiter & Venus) and if these
participants are neither debilitated nor combust, nor in enemy house, the
resulting yoga is again referred to as Gajkesari yoga. Sage Parashar consider
that this yoga forms if Jupiter is in a Kendra from the Moon or the lagna. An
added stipulation is that such a Jupiter should be aspected by or associated
with benefics and be not combust or debilitated or placed in 6th house.
To this one may add that Jupiter should not be retrograde or aspected by a
malefic. This yoga is peculiar since two natural benefics are participants
under benefic cover. For this yoga, the count is to be made from Jupiter i.e.
Jupiter should be the guide and more powerful of the two. Moon is the fastest
moving planet (flickering/ ever changing by nature), while Jupiter is slow
& somber to control unwanted movement of Moon. The Moon is subjected to Paksh bala and his position has
considerable significance in any Nakshtra. The lord of Nakshtra, where either
Moon or Jupiter are located and the position/ association of such lords might
greatly affect the yoga itself.
9.3
This is a very powerful yoga and makes the native wealthy, prosperous, learned,
intelligent, illustrious, virtuous, happy, long lived, with sterling qualities,
liked by the king and his men and enjoys lasting fame. It is very rare that all
good significant effects of Jupiter and Moon pertaining to this yoga re
realized. If wealth & comforts are to be enhanced as an effect of this
yoga, then progeny & perception will become less. It must be understood
that both Jupiter & Moon cannot simultaneously be exalted/ debilitated. If
one is in movable, fixed or dual sign, the other is bound to be in similar
sign. In this yoga, Jupiter always retains its primary importance, but the role
of Moon cannot be ignored. Let us see the ownerships and functional nature of
Moon and Jupiter for various lagna:
