From
Praveen Kumar [email protected]> To: k n rao Subject: Plagiarism Date: Wed, 08 Oct 2003 21:44:24 1ST Respected Sir, Sadar Pranam. Yesterday I was looking at some book on Transits by some S.K. Duggal of Chandigarh, published by Sagar Publications. I was shocked to see your 'Donble Transit' theory therein, using almost the same wordings and without any reference to your goodself. I wonder how such persons can do justice with their prafession of astrology, a divine science. Hore unfortunate is that even such blatant plagiarism can't be challenged in astrology. !·lay God take care of the situation. Praveen Kumar (Numbai)
TI1e first major research also plagianscd The first m<1jor research done in this direction was by me when I asked S.N. Kapoor. M.N. l(edM, Lalita Gupt,1. J.N. Sharm.1 and others to work on it. TI1e entire research was gui~ed by me and based on my double transit phenomenon. When they were seri~1lised In the A.strologic.ll Ma.g<1zinc, rhe following was clearly written in one of che arcicles.

This monograph on Astrology and Timing of Marriage - (a Scientific Approach) by the juniormost students of research students of the Bharatiya Vidya Bhawan is most remarkable as the students were not confident in the beginning of completing it satisfactorily in time and getting it published. One can see the quality of the research and the zeal exhibited by the students in this book. I was confident that it could be done and here it is, a rare achievement indeed. I am full of praise for them. The scientific approach, the brilliance of replication, the high percentage of success in this research, surpassing every other research on this subject, shoVIS what these students, with modern education, can achieve without cheating their clients with fraudulent yogas like Kaal Sarpa Yogas or through the fright of Saadhe Saati. A sacred science like jyotisha needs men with higher morality. That is sadly missing in the present scenario. K.N. Rao
Introduction The world is said to have began with Brahma's 'Manas Shrishtl' where Brahm a willed and man came to life. This process of creation had two major problems. The first problem was that Brahma could create only 'men' who c.1me to life, carried on chores, prayed, performed yagna and attained 'Moksha'. The second problem was that this process was not self regenerating hence, there was stagnation, decrease in population&.. ultimately back to zero population. Therefore, Brahma had to create men again and again. This led to the need for 'Maithun Shrishti', I.e., creation through Sex. However, Padmayoni Brahma is sald to have been at a loss as to how to create a woman. He realized that he would need Shiva 's help to be able to achieve success.
Story of Ardhnarishwar Frequent prayers of Brahma to the ·all
powerful Shiv,,· were answered and a very pleased Shiva stood in front of him. After lending a very sympathetic ear to the problems of Brahma, Shiva took the form of 'Ardhnarishwar' and subsequently Shiva Devi came Into being. Brahma prayed to her and put forward his difficulties seeking her grace to grant him ability to create a woman. On 3uide Shri K.N. Rao ·:· ~ ~l lt,'t[-1, m
being pleased with his prayers 'Shiva Devi' emitted a divine ll,'3ht from between her eyebrows which took t!le form of 'Shakti' which entered Brahma's heart rendered him the ability to create women. 'Shiva Devi'also agreed to Brahma's request to be born as Daksha 's daughter. This Is how women came Into being. However, for 'Maithunl Shrlshtl' to be successfully implemented it was important for men and women to be attracted to each other. Therefore, all devatas approached Kamdev and Rati for help in getting Mahadev Shankar attracted towards Parvatl and initiating 'Maithuni Shrlstl'_ Story of Kamdev being Reduced to Ashes Kamdev for the sake of humanity agreed to the proposal and followed by the Devtas set out to Kailash where Shlva was engrossed In his 'Tapasya'.

much that he emitted a large ball of flre from his 3rd eye which took a vicious form, went up to the sky and fell on eatth setting everything on fire. Everyone panicked and ran 'hither thither' but to no avail. Before anyone could seek forgiveness Kamdev was reduced to ashes. All of them.froze In their place and Rat! fainted with grief. On gaining consciousness she prayed to Sh!va and sought his grace and blessing. Shlva ·mellowed down and blessed her. He said that Kamdev would take human form once Vishnu took avatar as Sri Krishna and would be born of Rukmani's womb. He would be named 'Pradyumn' but till then he would enter every being's heart In the form of 'Ananda'. This led to the beginning of 'creation through sex' and also the entire chaos in this world. As everyone started to get attracted to each other It led to a lot of unforeseen problems. So In order to selfregulate the human race and to maintain sanity and sanctity of Institution In the society, certain legal, social and moral codes were enforced and Manusmrltl elaborates about these codes In detail. In ancient times. a human being on an average was said to have had a life of 100 years equally divided Into 4 parts or ·Ashr,1ms' Brahmcharya, Grihastha, Vanprastha and Sanyas. Out of these Grihastha is the ashram where a person gets married and produces children and discharges his duties towards the societ> ... This, therefore, Is the most Important ashram from social point of view and hence was most keenly scrutinized by one and all. The Shastra lay down marriage as a sacred duty which entails both social and religious obligations. Manusmiriti clearly lays down certain codes pertaining to the marriageable age and do's 8.. don'ts involved in the Institution of marriage. Some of them are: • Girls should be married off only after she Is 16 years old. • Women should be given responsibility of Money, wealth, expenditure, planning, religious duties, kitchen, complete household etc. 8
Women are to be respected: they are like 'Sree Lakshml'. A man only gets the woman who Is destined to be his wife so he should be thankful to God. Husband and wife should live together harmoniously duly performing their religious duties. They should not do anything which may • create ill will/rifr between them. If a man has to go abroad In connection with his work then he should provide enough for this wife before leavln,g. The marriage is to be declared void If the girl is married off without disclosing facts (illness. cruel nature etc.). If the woman, harboring ill will towards her • husband, does not change her nature within one year should be divorced (given up) after forfeiting her jewellery etc. But If she does so because of defects with the man then she should not be abandoned. • Girl should not be married off to an undeserving person ('li""'). If the father cannot marry off his daughter within three years of her att,1ining marriageable age, then she may find a man on her own. However, depending on the sodal norms, customs and conventions there were a lot of variations in the above codes from State to State and even between different regions In the State. •

Types of Marriage In the ancient times 8 kinds of marriages were prevalent which were said to have evolved from the lower to higher stage. The 8 kinds of marriages are Braham, Daiva, Arsha, Prajapatya, Asur, Gandharva, R.o1kshas and Palshach. Of these Palshach Is of the lowest order whereas Brahm Is of the highest order. Mahlrishl Manu further elaborates the various marriages suitable for different Varnas and pros and cons of all 8 types of marriages along with the types of progeny that follows due Guide Shri K.N. Rao ·:· ~ l!il 'lt.·

According to him for a pers.on who is Brahmin, first 6 types of marriages are app;oprlate whereas for Kshatriya, Vaishya and Shudra only Arsha, Prajapatys, Asura and Gandharva are appropriate. Ral

popularly called 'love' marriage, court or civil marriage and performed In the presence of a magistrate where the consent of respective parents Is not necess.1rlly required. Whatever the type of marriage we will all agree that m,1frlage was. Is and will always be considered a major event in an individual's life. In western society, Christianity played a major
role in holding fort for 'sacramental marriages'. However, after World War II especially in 1960s the institution of marriage s.tarted breaking up. The system of 'couples living together' and producing children out of 'wedlod<.' was rampant In Europe and America. Terms like 'single-mom' and 'unwed mothers' have become common in these countries. Now with the development of media and means of communication the world has shrunk. This has led to breaking down of the orthodox oriental s.ocleties of Asia as well. Also stress on education and career for women has changed our outlook towards the institution of marriage especially as far as the 'marriageable age' Is considered. Marriage Concept
'Change is the only constant', and hence the concept of marriage has also been constantly changing. However, all said and done, "Marriage is bulwark against time, for, time is the measure of change, and, In marriage two people take vows never to change as far as their love and feelings for each other are concerned". Come what may and for 'Malthun Shrlshti 'to continue coming together of man and woman Is a must and what better way could be there other than marriage. Marriage Is a relationship/matrimonial alliance between individuals who come to regard 9

The vel)' oldest records that refer to Shaadi speak of it as an established custom but despite attempts by anthropologists to trace the origin of matrimony, evidence is lacking.

together. It Is a moment of commitment, hope and happiness. life Is the most important gift that parents give to their children and then choosing a perfect life partner for them Is the second. Therefore, even today marriage remains a very sacred and important Institution of society and most parents who seek guidance of astrologers focus (after asking about education and career) on marriage of their children. They feel relieved of ali duties only after their children are happily married and settled.

Dr. (Mrs) SR Mlsl1ra Shodashottarl Dasha by Shri VP Gael Shastl Hayani Dasha by Shri VP Gael With their blessings and permiSSIOn we quote a few paragraphs form their books, which will help. It is recommended that wherever these conditional dashas are applicable, readers must apply them on the charts to arrive at the timing of marriage. • Dwisaptati Sarna Dasha (DSS) Is a conditional dasha applicable only to horoscopes where lagna lord is placed in 7th house or 7th lord Is placed In lagna or where lagna lord Is In lagn,, and 7th lord is In 7th H. Shrl Pathak has made following observations at page 134 &. 135 of his book regarding marriage and DSS dasha. ..Thus marriage takes place in the dasha of planets connected with: o second house/second lord in rashi and
navamsha. 15

o o
seventh house/lord of rashi and navamsha. In some cases planets aspecting fifih house but again getting connected to second house. o above situations In navamsha is essential. o planets getting connected through PAC with second house or second lord. Out of these seventeen charts, in which event of marriage was seen, in all 17 u'\SeS, the second house has played an important role in solemnization of marriage. This was so clearly evident in t11e birth charts and on navamsh,, charts. Add to this, a similar examination of the navamsha chart and the picture is clear. As you would have noticed, from the table above, it Is these planet invariably which have given marriage. In two cases above, event of marriage has not been discussed and In one u'\Se applyi!1g the above principles we have foreseen marriage taking place soon. Thereby mal

The event of marriage was examined in all the cases as listed above, the role of planets associated with fourth house/lord or seventh house/seventh lord in birth chart has been found to be dominating In solemnization of marriage. Similarly the planets connected with 1-7 and 5-1 I axis of navamsha chart have played an Important role in solemnization of marriage." • Dwadashottari Dasha: This applies to

those charts where Navamsha lagna Is Taurus or Libra as mentioned by Shrl R.S. Pan war &. Di. (Mrs)S.R. Mishra • Shodashottarl Dasha: This applies to charts which satisfy followin,s: conditions: o Ascendant is In the hora of Moon and the birth is In the dark fortnight (Krishna Paksh) o Ascendant is in the Hora of Sun and birth is In the bright half (Shukla Paksh). This is a nakshatra based dasha and as may be seen from the above conditions it applies to 50% of the charts and must be used by serious astrologers as It has maximum applic<1bility among the conditional dashas ~1ccordlng to our respected teacher Shri VP Goel. His book gives a deep insight on Its method of application and timing of events once it is applied on the divisional charts. • Shasti Hayani Dash a: This conditional dasha is applicable to horoscopes having Sun In Lagna Irrespective of the Sign rising and is applicable to one chart in twelve ,1nd thus needs serious attention. Shri VP Goel has stated in his book "It Is established that the 2nd and I 0 house of divisional chart generated the event of the divisional chart in their dasha. Besides the above mentioned, there are other conditional dashas as well and many research students at Bhartiya Vidya Bhavan are pursuing their research under the able guidance of our faculty members.
