My Findings: Karakas: First Step

The author discusses his original research into using the karakas in Jaimini astrology. He determined methods for assigning the seven or eight karakas based on which planet has the highest, second highest, etc. degrees. This includes assigning Atmakaraka, Bhatrikaraka, Matrikaraka, Putrakaraka, Gnathikaraka, Darakaka, and Amatyakaraka. He developed abbreviations for the karakas and found excellent predictive results using his methods over 26 years of application and examples. The author also cautions against blindly following translators and stresses the importance of original research and experience to properly understand and apply concepts from ancient astrological texts.

First Step Each astrologer wanting to make Jaimini astrology his predictive tool must first read whatever

books are available, most of them in translations. My Findings: Karakas The first problem was to decide when to use seven karakas and when eight. It was not a ticklish problem at all as if all planets are calculated up to seconds, there never was a clash between two planets contesting for the position of a karaka. Try it and see if I am right. I solved this problem easily. Meaning of Karakas: My Original Research I studied whatever was available on Jaimini and collected a huge library and found that no one, even the most respected Krishna Mishra or Neelakantha even hinted at how these Karakas were to be used. It was like someone telling me that he lived in Bombay but never gave his address. It shocked me totally and sometimes I felt that either it was hidden or these great and famous commentators never understood their uses. Then, B.Suryanarain Rao, B.V.Raman, P.S.Sastry or Iranganti Rancharya who wrote articles in the Astrological Magazine never even pointed out or produced any research to show how these karakas were to be used. I took a bold decision to do it myself, a task which had never been done before by anyone. Rule of Harmony Then as in law, so in astrology follow the principle of harmony in the interpretation of karakas. I reasoned out myself and came with a workable method which has turned to be a very effective tool for prediction. I have shown it through various examples for twenty six years now in 2010 and will show many more in this article. Atmakaraka In Parashari system you have the first house and its lord for self so that should be the Atmakaraka a planet with the highest degrees. In the Parashari system you have the third house and its lord for siblings etc so that should be the Bhatrikaraka. So that should be a planet with the third highest degrees. In the Parashari system you have the fourth house and its lord for mother and home etc so that should be the Matrikaraka. So that should be a planet with the fourth highest degrees. In the Parashari system you have the fifth house for education, children, mantra etc. So the fifth karaka must be Putrakaraka. So that should be a planet with the fifth highest degrees. In the Parashari system you have the sixth house and its lord for enemies, diseases etc and so it should be the Gnathikaraka.So that should be a planet with the sixth highest degrees. In the Parashari system you have the seventh house and its lord for spouse etc and so it should be the Darakaka. So that should be a planet with the lowest degrees.

What about Amatyakaraka then ? What about the second karaka then? It is Amatyakaraka which means a courtier or an important man in the court of a king in the days of monarchy. So in our days it should mean an important man and by extension your own importance. Is it a hint about career I wondered and proceeded with this assumption with my research and got amazing results as I will show. What about a karaka for father? The problem is easily solved if you use Bhatrikaraka and Sun for father and Bhatrikaraka and Mars for siblings as has been as shown in some books on Jaimini. Here we must remember that sthirakarakas must always be considered in Jaimini astrology. Abbreviations The abbreviations I used then were AK, AmK, BK, MK, PK, GK, and DK. I then combined sthirakakas like Sun for father, Moon for mother etc. Padas For padas I decided not to use any exception and got excellent results which I will show partially in this article or a later article. Second Step Whatever the translators say must never be accepted blindly. Remember that most of the translators are Sanskrit scholars but not distinguished astrologers or successful predictors. We are grateful to them for making available many manuscripts but we must become cautious when it comes to their what I call shloka mauling and sutra chopping boast. My Finding Manoj Pathak a teacher of astrology in the Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan, New Delhi, decided to do a research on Parasharas Chakra dasha and found that out of eight different translations of available Parashara texts, no astrologer knew how to compute it. The translation they gave never gave any accurate results. He has solved the problem amazingly now. He and his students have been giving brilliant readings based on Chakra dasha. Soon they are going to come out with an amazing book. Through experience you will know when and how to ignore these translators or even commentators (though there is none really who can be called a commentator of these books) and then getting enmeshed in a confusion, seek a way out of it with lot of struggle if you persist with your research.
