can nebdy tell me the meaning of vimshottari dasha in a janampatri?

Answer 1

Hi,

If you read the following for two-three times then only you will come to understand. OK, so spare little time and read.

According to Vedic Astrology there are twenty-seven constellations (Nakshatra), Twelve Raashis and Nine planets. OK. There are many Maha Dashas followed in India like Tribhagi Maha Dasha, Yogini Maha Dasha etc but Vimshottari is widely accepted and found to be almost accurate. The Vimshottari Maha Dasha consists of 120 years. A worldwide-celebrated Palmist from Western country wrote: “Indian Vimshottari Dasha System Is A Grant Gift To The Astrological World”.

The Nakshatra are Ashwini, Bahrani, Kartika, Rohini, Mrigaseerisha, Aridhra …and so on and the last one is Revathy. In order to accommodate these 27 Nakshatra in to nine planets they have put in three groups.

Ahwini, Makha, Moola belongs to Ketu-7 years
Bharani, Poorva, Poorvashada belongs to Shukra-20 years
Krittika, Uttara, Utrashada belongs to Sun-6 years
Rohini, Hasta, Sravana belongs to Moon-10 years
Mrigashirisha,Chitra,Dhanishta belongs to Mangal-7 years
Aridra,SwathiSatabhisha belongs to Rahu-18 years
PunarvasuVishakaPoorbhadra belongs to Guru-16 years
PushyamiAnuradhaUtrabhadra belongs to Shani-19 years
AsleshaJyeshtaRevathy belongs to Budha-17 years.

Before going ahead you also understand this: The 27 Nakshatras are again divided in to four parts so we get 108 parts. As earlier stated there are 12 Raashi. We get 9 on dividing 108 parts by 12. Therefore, nine parts of Nakshatra is accommodated in each Raashi. In Mesh Raashi we put 4 parts of Ashwini, 4 parts of Bharani and 1 part of Krittika. If a person is born in Kritika Nakshatra without knowing his/her proper birth time we cannot conclude whether he/she belongs to Mesh or Vrishabh Raashi!

Suppose if a child is born today (05/03/2007) at 05:30 PM in Bombay- the ruling Nakshatra is Uttara 4th part, so Raashi will be Kanya. Uttara belongs to Sun and the total year is granted to Sun is 6 years. Since the child is born in 4th pada of Uttara Nakshatra, the balance of Vimshottari Maha Dasha of Sun is just 01 year, 01 months and 29 days. This is called balance Maha Dasha. Then the child will be ruled by Moon for 10 years, Mangal for 7 years, Rahu 18 years and so on….

Vedic Astrology is an Ocean, it cannot be explained in a page or in a book. Very deep and minute calculations are required in order to predict accurately. Many astrologers seldom follow all these rules and predict in hurry (because –money matters) thus causing damage to the good name of Vedic Astrology.

Answer 2

Vimsottari dasha shows when and how your karma fructifies in this life - relative to the mind. Dasha means time period. There are many variations and exceptions that apply depending on the exact time of birth. Narayana (Padkrama) dasha is a much better dasha system.

Karma can not be deflected; you need to experience it. A good jyotisha will be able to give you pointers on how to handle it. Unfortunately 99.5% of jyotishis are quacks who have read a few books and started practicing this sacred science. Jyotisha != astrology. There is a lot more to it, than planets and signs. Western astrologers lost the plot a long time ago.

Answer 3

☆ *~My answer*~☆ There is a lot of meaning behind these pictures. Life is full of both good times and hard times, and you should face both of them equally and with the same motivation. You should never give up but believe, because if you believe, then you can definitely achieve. The person in the picture shouldn't have given up, and he was the only one who did, whereas everyone else struggled and in the end, that struggle turned out to be for a good cause. Nice Q!

Answer 4

Meaning of Dashas?

The Horoscope or birth chart, gives the basic indications for an individual or event. For example, Mars in the 3rd house (bhava) means success through one's own efforts. The question then arises as to when this will occur; in one's youth, middle-age, old-age, or in a mixture of these timeframes?
It may also happen that contradictory indications occur. How can these occurrences be reconciled? If Mars is indicating success, but Sun indicates obstructions, how do we integrate these opposing forces to arrive at a consistent picture of the birth chart?
The answers to these questions can be found in the dashas, which are systems used for timing of events in Jyotish. If two grahas show opposing indications, it may indicate that each will occur, but at different times. Part of one’s life may show success and rise in career, while other parts may show obstructions and struggle. The dashas allow a determination of when these periods will express themselves, and to what degree. Both influences may also occur simultaneously (success, but with much effort).

There are many dasha systems available in Jyotish. Based upon the birth chart each system has its own particular uses and rules for when they should be used. The most popular dasha system is Vimshottari. This belongs to a class of dasha systems that are nakshatra-based . Nakshatra-based systems use the nakshatras to calculate the start of the dasha cycle.
Vimshottari dasha, is calculated based upon the nakshatra position of Moon at birth which determines the start of the dasha, and each graha from Sun - Ketu has a dasha period associated with it. Suppose Moon is in Pisces at 16-10 (16 degrees, 10 minutes of arc) at birth. Since there are 27 nakshatras of extent 13-20, this corresponds to the 26th nakshatra, which is Uttara Bhadrapada, whose ruler is Saturn. Hence, this person was born into the Saturn Vimshottari dasa period.
The length of each graha dasha period is given below.

Vimshottari Dasha Periods

Planet Graha Length
( in years)
Sun 6
Moon 10
Mars 7
Rahu 18
Jupiter 16
Saturn 19
Mercury 17
Ketu 7
Venus 20

The vimshottari dashas occur in the order shown above. Summing the lengths of the dasas, we arrive at 120 years; this is taken as the "natural" lifespan of a person living in Kali Yuga, or current world cycle.


Sub-Periods

Life consists of cycles within cycles within cycles. This is reflected in the dasha scheme through the sub-dashas or sub periods known as Bhukthi or Antardasha. Just as there are 9 major dasha periods, called mahadashas (maha means great, so mahadasha means great period), there are also sub-periods. There is no limit to the number of sub-periods that can be considered, but in most cases 2-4 are considered.
Each sub-period consists of the 9 graha periods, in the same order as shown above, starting with the mahadasha period. For example, the Mercury dasha starts with the Mercury sub-dasha, followed by Venus, Ketu, Sun, Moon, Mars, Rahu, Jupiter, and ending with Saturn. After this the Ketu mahadasa begins, with the sub-periods being Ketu, Venus, Sun, Moon, Mars, Rahu, Jupiter, Saturn, and Mercury.
The length of each sub-period maintains the same ratio as the length of the mahadasha period. For example, the Mercury mahadasha lasts 17 years, which is 17/120 of the entire Vimshottari dasha cycle. The Mercury sub-period of the Mercury mahadasha is therefore 17 x 17/120 = 12 months. The Venus sub-period of Mercury lasts 17 (length of Mercury mahadasa) x 20 (length of Venus mahadasa)/120 = 2.83 years. In a similar way, the lengths of all the sub-periods, sub-sub-periods, and so on can be calculated.
