Harihara Brahma Yoga in Vedic Astrology

Harihara Brahma Yoga

(January – 02 – 2010)

Rules : This yoga can be stated in a simple and direct manner as follows :-- It is a combination of three parts. (a) Benefics must occupy the 8th and 12th houses from the lord of 2nd house or (b) Jupiter, Moon and Mercury must be in the 4th, 9th and 8th respectively from the 7th lord; or (c) the Sun, Venus and Mars must be in the 4th, 10th and 11th from the lord of Lagna. Effects : A person born in this Yoga will be an emi­nent scholar in Vedas and religious scriptures or astrology. He is truthful, and trustworthy. He has all pleasures and royal comforts in life. He is a pleasing speaker. He is very fond of sex pleasures. He conquers his enemies. He is helpful to others. He is engaged in virtuous deeds and noble profession.

My comments :-- The Yoga to be fully effective must be strong and the planets are to be well-disposed as per rules sepecified above. Thus, importance is given to birth-lagna, the 2nd house and the 7th house and their lords. There is very good reason for considering these three important factors. Lagna represents the birth (creation) of the person. The 2nd house represents the wealth which is very essential for protection or preservation of life. The 7th house is the house of Maaraka (death) signifies destruction. These three important aspects of creation, protection and destruction are carried on by the Hindu Trinity, namely, Brahma, Vishnu or Hari and Maheshwara or Hara. This is the main reason why the combination is named as Harihara Brahma Yoga. Example : 1

The birth lagna is Taurus. The second house is Gemini; its lord Mercury is in Aquarius with Venus. Full Moon is in Virgo, 8th house from Aquarius. Jupiter is in 12th house in Capricorn from Mercury. So this person has Harihara Brhama yoga in his chart. I know this person very well for over 30 years. He is truthful, and trustworthy. He enjoys all pleasures and royal comforts in life. He is a pleasing speaker. He conquers his enemies. He is helpful to others. He is engaged in virtuous deeds and noble profession. He is settled in U.S.A. works as a C.E.0. of a firm in Dullas (Texas). Example : 2
