In this article I propose
to show when Raja Yoga or combinations indicating affluence, power and wealth
are likely to operate. The word Yoga means combination. Merit presence of Yogas
does not always indicate good. Such a combination or Yoga may be for good or
bad. Raja Yoga on the contrary indicates affluence and prosperity. Raja Yoga
depends upon the planets which form it. If the Yoga is purely a malefic
combination, then the native will not have mental peace and satisfaction in
spite of all material comforts and affluence. He will be arrogant, proud and
haughty. On the other hand, if it is formed by benefics, the native derives
satisfaction from a sense of gratitude to God. He will be polite, courteous and
spends his acquisitions in approved ways.
Mere presence of a number
of Raja Yogas by itself is not enough, unless the planets forming such Yogas
have sufficient strength, i.e., free from the influence of the lords of the 6th,
the 8th and the 12th.
Dasa (main period) must
operate at a proper time. Here by proper time means the age when a man attains
maturity. There is no point in a child having Yoga or an infirm man getting
such Yogas. The sages themselves say that the Yogas become inoperative if they
do not occur at the proper age. The presumption is that Yogas operating between
18 and 50 years are likely to yield much benefits.
The question may arise
whether the operation of Yogas at inappropriate ages is an act of destiny. The
answer is in the affirmative, since the basis of Hindu astrology hinges on the
law of Karma. It has been found that many people will have lost their very good
Yogas in earlier childhood and some have indications of enjoying them after 70
or 80. In between these periods, ordinary Dasas operate and the man may have to
lead an insignificant life both materially and mentally. Very few are destined
to enjoy the fruits.
Here, of course, the
arrangement is purely an act of God. By arrangement it is meant that the order
of Dasa-Bhuktis which may be good or bad is God-determined.
The time we reckon for the
birth of a child is the time when the child is completely severed from the
umbilical cord of the mother.
Though surgery claims that
severance is within its powers, practically it has been found that the
severance always takes place at a particular time.
The following few
classical rules may be noted-Satyacharya says: “Presence of the Yogasa in the
absence of the conditions mentioned above is like moonlight to a blind man.”
Kalyana Varma says: “Raja Yogas have a potency of their own and vitality affect
a horoscope.” Jataka Alanakara (Sl.
1, Adh III) says: “It has bee declared by the ancient sages Vasishta, Sukra,
Parasara, etc., that several Yogas whether good or bad in the nativities of
human beings depend on the planets constituting them, and that the effects of
turn depend upon the Yogas. “When the planets are ill-placed, the man is
dwarfed. In the case of a planet owning two houses, the house which happens to
be Moolatrikona will predominate and its effects alone will be felt full while
the effects of own house will be half. The effects of both the Bhavas will come
to pass in the Dasa of the planets.
The above views should be
borne in mind while analyzing the Yogas. Such references ca be found in the works
of Varahamihira who mentions his predecessors such as Vasishta, Gargi,
Parasara, Vyasa, Badarayana, Soma, Kasyapa, Satyacharya, Yavana, Chanakya and
Vishnugupta.
Raja Yogas form as a
result of combinations of trinal and angular lords in favourable houses such as
the 1st, the 4th, the 7th, the 10th
and the 11th. If lords of the 6th, the 8th or
the 112th are in conjunction or in those houses jointly or singly
Vipareetha Raja Yoga is formed. The results of such combinations will be that
the native will rise to fame all of a sudden followed by immediate downfall or
will have short-lied glory and affluence.
