Budha-Aditya / Nipuna Raja YOGA
(RAJA YOGAMS IN VEDIC ASTROLOGY).
I received hundreds of e-mail requests during the past one year from my readers, amateur-astrologers, requesting me to explain about Budha-Aditya and other raja-yogas in full-detail and explain their limitations. Rule :- Aries (Mesham) is exalted house for Sun (Ravi); Leo (Simham) is own house for Sun; Gemini (Mithunam) is own house for Mercury (Budha); Virgo (Kanya) is own house and also exalted house for Mercury (Budha). So if Ravi and Budha are conjunct in any of these four houses, Budha-Aidtya yoga / Nipuna yoga occurs. Ravi, Soumya yuthau thathra sva, utcha sthaana gathe Budha-Aditya yogamutchyathe; vishesha dhana laabhanche, vanijya-vardhanam. If it occurs in birth lagna, then Budha-Aditya yogam the Maha-raja yogam is enhanced. If malefic or debilitated or afflicted planets also conjunct with Ravi and Budha in the same house, the yoga is ruined. If the distance between Sun and Mercury is less than or equal to 12* (in the same star), the yoga is powerful. If the distance is more, it is known as Nipuna yoga and is less powerful.
Effects :- The person enjoys royal comforts in life. He / she may earn millions through business during the periods of Sun and Mercury. He leads happy and prosperous life. The person is very intelligent, and skillful in his profession / job / business. He enjoys good reputation, personal respect in society. My explanstion :- Any planet which stays within +3 or -3 degrees (same nakshtra-pada) of Sun, is said to be combusted (asthangatha). So the benefits due to the other planet (excluding Sun) are totally destroyed. Perhaps Mercury is an exception (many noted astrologers believe this). Example : If Sun is at 125*32’ and if Venus (Sukra) is at any position from 122*32’ to 128*32’, Sukra is asthangatha (combusted) and powerless and can not give any beneficial results to the person. If Mercury is not combusted and is in the same nakshthra (star) but different pada or within +14* to -14* and also in the same Bhava, Budha-Aditya yoga occurs. If Sun and Mercury are in different Bhava or house, then B.A yoga does not occur. I explain these ideas based on examples : (1) Sun is at 204*12’ and Mercury is at 197*18’. The distance between Sun and Mercury is about 7*; they are near. and they are in same houses; so B.A yoga is formed. (2) Sun is at 195*53’ and Mercury is at 175*27; they are in the same house / bhava; the distance is about 20*. Nipuna yoga is formed; this is less powerful. (3) Sun is at 63*; Mercury is at 56*; birth-lagna (ascendant) is at 68*. The Sun and Mercury are in different houses in Rasi chart (Sun is in Gemini and Mercury is in Taurus). But in Bhava chart the Thanu Bhava (First Bhava) is between 53*and 83*; birth-lagna, Sun and Mercury; all the three are in Thanu-Bhava. There is B.A. yoga in Bhava chart and gives beneficial results. There is no B.A. yoga in Rasi chart. So expert-astrologers take Bhava chart into consideration while anlaysing a horoscope and planetary positions, but not simple Rasi chart Example :1 Rajeev Gandhi : (Prime Minister of India 1984—91);
Date of birth = August—20—1944. Time = 7-12 Morn. Birth star = Poorva Phalguni. Birth Place = Mumbai (Bombay); India. (18*-55’ North; 72*54’ East).

Planetary Positions
| Lagna | Sun | Moon | Mars | Mercury | Jupiter | Venus | Saturn | Rahu | Ketu |
| 135* | 124* | 137* | 151* | 148* | 132* | 138* | 74* | 92* | 272* |
The birth-lagna (ascendant) is at 135*; so the Thanu Bhava is from 120* to 150*. The lagna, Sun and Mercury all the three are in the same birth-bhava (Simha; Leo) own house of Sun. But the distance between the Sun and Mercury is 24*; they are in different stars. So there is a strong Nipuna yoga. He was very skilled in his profession; he was a skilled pilot. He was an able administrator as Prime Minister.
Sun :- Here the Nipuna yoga is (74%) strong and beneficial.
