RAJA YOGAS IN VEDIC ASTROLOGY.
Maha-raja (King) yogas (8)
Part--145 (June—13-2009) Raja yogas which make persons born in ordinary families rulers equal to kings. Rule : Api khal-kula-jaatha manavaa rajya-bhajyhaha, kimuth nrupa-kulo-jaathaha, proktha bhoo-adhipa yogauha; nrupthi-kula samusthyaha parthivaaha vakshamaanau-bhavathi nrupathi thulyasthaeshva bhoopala puthraha = In the past seven parts, I sketched the planetary combinations that cause the birth of a king / ruler. Even a person born in a poor family can become a king; much more so for persons born in royal families. Now I describe some planetary combinations,which will make persons kings / queens / rulers who are born in royal families and others born in other ordinary families become rulers equal to kings, as propounded by great expert Astrologer Varahamihira (300-380 A.C.).

| Ketu | Saturn Sun; Moon; Mars; Jupiter; Mercury | Lagna | |
Nawab Hyder Ali (1717-82) was the king of Mysore; he was born in a poor family; his father was a small military commander. He rose to power and become the emperor of south India by 1765. He was very cruel and a despot and harassed millions of Hindus. His birth lagna was Libra. Its lord Venus was in 4th house (Capricorn) and was aspected (3rd drushti) by Saturn; Saturn was the lord of 4th and 5th houses. Hyder had no motherly love. The lord of 9th house, Gemini (father;) was Mercury and was also the lord of 12th house (Vyyaya). Mercury was in 6th house (sathru) from Bhagya (9th house). Moon was debilitated in Scorpio. But Moon’s association with Mars (forming Chandra-Mangala yoga) and Jupiter (forming Gaja-kesari yoga) removed the debilitation, causing a powerful Neecha-bhanga-raja-yoga. Example: 2
| Pisces | Ketu | Saturn | |
| | Dewan | Moon Mars Jupiter | |
| | Leo | ||
| Lagna | | Rahu; Venus; Sun | Mercury |
Moon was in his own house; Jupiter was exalted; forming Gaja-kesari yoga. Mars and Moon cojunction caused Chandra-Mangala yoga. Mercury was exalted in 10th house (Kendra) formed Bhadra yoga. Saturn’s aspect (3rd) on cancer was malefic. Sun was debilited but was conjunct with Venus (lord of Libra); so Sun’s debilitation was removed and caused a powerful Neecha-bhanga-raja-yoga. Mars was debilitated in cancer but was conjunct with Moon (lord of cancer); so Mars’ debilitation was removed and caused a powerful Neecha-bhanaga-raja yoga. All these beneficla aspects made the person the Prime Minster (Dewan) of three states. He held the most enviable ruling position in life.
Example: 3-- This is the horoscope of the King of Baroda, Maharaja Sayaji Rao III Gaekwar (1863-1911). He was by birth an ordinary peasant boy. He was adopted by the Queen of Baroda as her son. I explain the raja-yogas mainly.

| Lagna | Moon Rahu | Libra -11- | Saturn Jupiter |
Neecha-bhanga-raja-yoga : The Moon had a very powerful neecha-bhanga-raja-yoga. Moon was debilitated (neecha) in Scorpio; the lord of the house (Taurus) where Moon was exalted was Venus. Venus was exalted in Pisces in Kendra (4th house) from birth lagna; this caused a very powerful raja-yoga. In addition, Mars, the lord of Scorpio (where Moon’s debilitation occurred) aspected Moon (7th drushti). These raja-yogas made a very ordinary peasant boy by birth to become the mighty ruler of a huge kingdom of Baroda. Simhasana Raja-yoga : The birth lagna is Sagittarius. Its lord is Jupiter; he is in 10th house (Virgo), (Rajya-sthana; Kendra; Sri Narayana sthana). Lagna-adheese’ soumye, bala-samyukthau, dasama sthana gathau,subha-graha veekshithe, sva, utcha, mithra keshethre Simhasana-yoga muchyathe; akhanda-raja-yoga prapthi na samasyaah. This powerful Maha-raja-yoga enabled him to be crowned as the King of the huge and powerful state of Baroda. It was the strange game of Fate; the Queen (mother) selected this ordinary peasant boy and crowned him as the King during 1875, when he was barely 12 years of age. This occurred during the end of Mercury dasa (sub-period of Saturn). Mercury was the lord of 10th house (Rajya); he was in 3rd house and was conjunct with Sun the lord of 9th house (Bhagya; luck). This was highly beneficial. In the Nava amsa, Mercury was the lord of 10th house and was in 2nd house from lagna (Dhana-sthana) and in 11th house (laabham) from Indu-lagna (Moon).
The peasant boy was adopted as her son by the Queen-mother as soon as the Saturn sub-period started in the main period of Mercury. Saturn ruled over the Parama-mithra star for the boy. Saturn was the lord of 2nd house (Dhana-sthana) in Bhava; he was conjunct with highly benefic Jupiter and was aspected (7th drushti) by exalted Venus. ----------------------------------- You can get my full particulars from my web-site : www.jyothishi.com.
