RAJA YOGA IN VEDIC ASTROLOGY. Part—50 (Feb—19—2009)
ASHTA LAKSHMI YOGA
Yoga for the Eightfold Prosperity ( Ashta Laksmi Yoga ). If the North Node (Rahu) is in the 6th house and if Jupiter is in Kendra house (quadrant) from birth-lagna, then this Ashta Lakshmi Yoga is formed = Shashta sthana gathe Rahu; Lagna Kendra gathe Gurau; Ashtalakshmee samayuktham ; Madhyavan Keerthiman Nara. The Eightfold Prosperity, whose symbols are the Eight Lakshmis, the Ashta Lakmis, the Ashta Vasus are :
1) Dhana Lakshmi - Wealth as prosperity. (2) Dhanya Lakshmi - Agriculture as prosperity; 3) Dhairya Lakshmi - Courage ". (4) Vijaya Laksmi - Victory "
5) Adi Laksmi - Power " (6) Vidya Laksmi Learning "
7) Gaja Lakshmi Will Power " (8) Santhana Lakshmi Children as prosperity
The native born under this yoga, enjoys the Eightfold Prosperity. Rahu and Jupiter should be powerful, however, to confer the full benefits of this yoga. Example :-- 1 Jupiter was in exaltation in cancer, the birth lagna (both Kendra and kona; Sri Narayana sthana; Sri Lakshmi sthana). Bhagavan Sri Ramachandra had all the noble qualties and is ever worshipped as Purushothama. He enjoyed all the benefits of Hamsa yoga. He was highly learned in many arts and sciences and also in warefare. He was Emperor of emperors and sole monarch of the entire Universe as Supreme God and avathaar of Bhagavna Sri Maha Vishnu. Rahu was in 6th house. This is called Kodanda Rahu yoga. Jupiter exalted in birth lagna (both Kendra and kona) amd Rahu in 6th house causes most powerful Ashta Lakshmi yoga. Sri Ramachandra has enjoyed all the benefits of this yoga.

Here is one important point to notse. The Raja-yogam is ruined if these exalted planets are related with other debilitated planets or any one of the exalted planets is in retrograde motion or is in neecha (debilitation) in Nava-amsa chart. He has Venus exalted in birth lagna and Mars exalted in 11th house (laabha; prosperity). He has Ashta-Lakshmi yoga; Rahu is in 6th house and Jupiter (the lord of birth lagna) is in 4th house (Kendra; Sri Narayana sthana) . Both are powerful. He enjoyed prosperity and riches in his life, from his 32nd year onwards. He also has Kodanda Rahu yoga . Example :-- 3 This lady has Jupiter in 4th house (friend’s house) (Kendra; Sri Narayana sthana). Rahu is in 6th house. So she has Ashta Laksmi yoga. She works as a teacher in a high school. Her husband works as an Associate Professor in a reputed College in Eluru. They have fertile agriculture lands, three houses and house-sites (inherited from parents). They are multi-millionaires and enjoy all comforts in life.
