RAJA YOGAS IN VEDIC ASTROLOGY.
Damini Yoga Part--104 (May—01--2009) Rule :-- If all the seven planets (except Rahu and Ketu) occupy six houses, Damini yoga is formed. Benefits:-- According to great astrologer-writer Sri Varahamihira of 4th century A.C., in his famous astrological text, Brihath Samhitha enunciated the results of this yoga: the Damini yoga makes the person charitable, always helping others and protects cattle. Maharajha Kalayana Varma of 10th century A.C. {king of Vyaghrapada kingdom (in present Madhya Pradesh)}, famous astrologer –writer; author of Saravali; glorifies this yoga. In addition to the above benefits, this yoga gives the man wealth, fame and intellect also. Example—1
| Pisces Venus (9) | AL; UL Sun | Taurus Mercury (11) | Ketu (12) |
| (8) | RAASI Bhagavan Sri Krishna Parma-atma | Lagna Moon Jupiter | |
| Mars | Leo | ||
| Rahu | (5) | Saturn® | (3) |
This is the horoscope of Bhagavan Sri Krisna. (1) Cancer has lagna, Moon (own house) and Jupiter (exalted); (2) Libra has Saturn (exalted); (3) Capricorn has Mars (exalted); (4) Pisces has Venus (exalted); (5) Aries has Sun (exalted); (6) Taurus has Mercury (friend’s house). So he had Damin yoga; He had all the best qualities of the yoga. He is worshipped as Gopala; Go means and also DHARMA (pun). He is the protector of both. This chart has (over) 36 strong maha-raja-yogas of the best quality and 5 planets are exalted. This is a rare horoscope of high strength and very beneficial. Example—2 This horoscope has Damini yoga. But the weekness of Lagna-adhipath marred the yoga. This horoscope is relatively week and less beneficial.
| Moon | Aries | Jupiter | Gemini |
| -6- | | Sani Ketu | |
| | Venus | ||
| -4- | Mars | Libra | Lagna Sun Mercury |
Example—3 This horoscope has Damini yoga. The presence of Mars in his own house in 5th house (trine; kona; Sri Lakshmi sthana) considerable increases the benefits of yogas. Jupiter is in labha (11th house). This is comparatively more powerful horoscope.
| Rahu | Aries | Jupiter | Gemini |
| | | Lagna | |
| Venus | Leo | ||
| Sun | Mars Mercury | Saturn | Moon Ketu |
The three examples having the same Damini yoga, furnish us clues as to how the same yoga can operate in different ways in different horoscopes.
