MARS & MANGLIK DOSHA - A VEDIC APPROACH

An Insight about KP Astrology

Prof.K.S.Krishna Murthy (KSK) whose full name is Kuthur Subbarayaiyer Krishnamurthi, the inventor/discoverer of this astrological system. It is unique, scientific, part of Vedic astrology and mathematical study and evolution without short cuts; after great and considerable period of struggle in modern era and he is known as “Adhunik Varamihira” . The predictions given will be the same for any astrologer with the same horoscope as well timing of the event which is simple, accurate and scientific.

i) History: KSK birth particulars are DOB: Sunday1-11-1908, TOB: 12.11pm and POB: Thiruvariyaru, Chennai, Sravana Nakshatra (Kanya rasi)) and Makar Lagna and date of expiry were at 2 am on 30-3-1972. After education from St.Joseph College, Tiruchirapalli entered into service at the King Institute, Guindy, Chennai in Public Health Dept., Tamilnadu on 14-7-1927. He had fascination, dedication eagerness and sincerity for the study of Astrology and studied both Parasara and Western systems from 1927 to 1934. He certainly analysed for failure of predictions as well as timing of events and caused dissatisfaction on the results of Astrology, during 1934-46. From 1939 with two assistants carried out research and developed the concept of Sub-lord Theory basing on Satya Nadi finally in 1951. He received Uchchistha Maha Ganapathi through Jagadguru and consequently KSK attained his goal. He got great inspiration and urge to teach and propagate KP system to eager students, who need not become professional astrologers for earning sake; till 1961. He retired from service voluntarily on19-9-1961. From 20-3-1963 Astrology & Athristha, KP Ephemeris for the years 1911-1970 and 6 KP Readers were published and Prof. KSK was awarded 2 titles- a) Jyothish Marthand and b)Sothida Mannan for his astrological yeoman services.

ii) System: KP system invented by KSK is only Parasara modified to the present modern period applying certain aspects of Western Astrology, like- cusps, Fortuna and Western aspects; thereby one could be able to give predictions and timing of event accurately. Apart from taking the Western concepts, as stated above, KSK discovered Sub-lord, Ruling planets, Significators Table, special role to the nodes and Horary No. 1-249 chart for answering the question astrology. There are no sub-divisional charts, including Navamsa and only birth chart is available for analysis purpose and Dasa considered only Vimsothari/Udu of 120 years duration for timing of the event. He took the concept of Dhruva Nadi which was the basis for Meenas-1 & 2 (who developed Stellar Astrology) for evolution of Sub-lord.

A) Dhruva Naadi (Meenas) concept: A zodiac is divided into 12 rasis of 360o and therefore each rasi is 30o, consisting of 9 parts/Padas each part being 3os20 constituting 21/4 stars in each rasi. Thus a rasi was divided into 2 stars and one pada, as each star has 4 padas. Each star has lord and lord of each star is known as Star Lord. This Predictive Stellar Astrology was developed in 1936, by Late R.Gopala Krishna Rao and NV Raghavachary known as Meena-1&2 respectively. Sri NVR Raja (Meena-2 Jr.), Chairman, JKR Astro Research Foundation, Hyderabad is propagating presently this system. KSK extended this concept to all the 27 stars in the zodiac and each star of 13o20 divided into 9 parts/division of 3o in a star is known as SUB LORD. These 9 parts i.e. Sub lords will be in the order and proportion of Vimsothari Dasa and first part starting with the same lord. Thus in a KP chart we have Cusp/Bhava Lord (i.e., Sign lord where a cusp/Planet), Star lord and Sub lord. Similarly, we Sub-sub lords.

B) Ruling Planets (RP): Those planets, which are ruling at the time of query and contribute for the fructification of the event, are called Ruling Planets. This is the important extract for horoscopes judgement and they are nine in the descending order (from the powerful to the least) - Lagna Sub-lord, Lagna Star lord, Lagna Sign lord; Moon sub-lord; Moon star lord and Moon sign lord and lastly Day Lord. KSK has taken only seven RPs, excluding Lagna & Moon Sub-lords.

Note: 1. If any of the planets which strongly aspects or conjoins the nine ruling planets it can also be included in the RPs.

2. If any of the RPs is retrograde or posited either in the star or sub of a retrograde planet, reject that planet during the period of retrogression and accept the remaining.

RPs Rules are- i. The ruling planets at the time of sitting for judgement are the same to that of the horary time, ii. The RPs at the time of the fructification of the event is the same to that of the birth time/horary time. The presence of RPs is to be same but not the order.

Application of RPs: The RPs have a definite role in i. fructification of event by finding the common planets between the fruitful significators of an event and RPs during their conjoined period.

ii. To verify the correctness of chart by verifying the RPs of a chart with that of arrival time of the consultant.

iii. Rectification of birth time. Of all the methods of rectification of birth time the most important one is –If anything occurs to a native like accidents, marriage, first birth of child , death of parents etc. native’s lagna’s Sign, Star and Sub lords will be the sub lords of the concerned cusps at the time of occurrence.

C) Significators Table: A planet will become significator to a house occupied by its star lord and houses owned by the star lord. The tenant planet is known as significator and indicates such matters depending on the su-portion of the star occupied by the tenant. Significator gives the result of its star lord and so it becomes the indicator of the matters of the house occupied, owned and aspected by it and sub lord decides regarding that matters of the star lord. A planet is said to be a significator of a particular house when it has capability of offering result of that house due to its stellar and positional status which will be low, medium and high category. Significators are the sources for events and used for timing of event. A planet which is placed closer to cusp/Bhava, even if it was behind the cusp and becomes Bhava lord or planet in the constellation of Bhava lord, it will be the significator of the above cusp which is in front of it.

Note: The cuspal S/L of a Bhava itself qualifies as significator of that bhava in the absence of planets in its stars, even if S/L negates the bhava.

The following are the significators of a Bhava in the order of the strength:

I. Planet in the constellation of the occupant of the Bhava (Strongest).

ii. The occupant of the Bhava.

iii. The planet in the constellation of the Bhava Lord. iv. The Bhava Lord.

v. The planets conjoined with the above significators and aspecting the cusp and the planets therein.

Note: 1. The nodes are to be included as significators if they are conjoined /aspected /tenanted in the house of significators. 2. Where there are 2 or more planets in i to iii above, all the planets share in the fructification of the event according to their strength.

Selection of fruitful significators: The prediction will be accurate basing on the selection of fruitful and rejecting temptor (false) significators. Selection will be made amongst them either on selective basis in the order of strength or by eliminating the tempters/weak significators--

i. If a planet is connected with the concerned Bhavas and becomes significator of the relevant houses and if also posited in the subs of any of the significators of the concerned houses, then the planet gives more dependable results.

ii. If any planet is posited in his own sub it is stronger planet, iii. If S/L is in beneficial aspect with constellation lord.

iv. If S/L of any event is c/w further 2 cusps of the same event success without failure.

v. A significator is weak if it signifies Trik 6/8/12 cusps, their constellation or sub lords as well as Trik houses of the bhava under consideration. It becomes weak if star and sub lords become weak and more so if S/L is also weak.

D) Role of Nodes: Rahu and Ketu, the nodes were allotted special roles in KP system prediction. They are considered as direct and move in opposite direction. Rahu and Ketu represent the planets in the order of priority- the planets that conjoin, aspect, its star and sign lords. In other words, the nodes represent the planets in this order if those planets are not the significators concerned. Similarly, if nodes do not come under the significators, these planets represent Rahu or Ketu accordingly.

E) Aspects and conjunctions: An aspect is the angular distance of celestial longitude between two points in the zodiac, between two planets or one planet and a rasi. Two or more planets in the same rasi are known as conjunction. Aspect and conjunction are more powerful within the orb of 8o and will be from sign to sign. Western aspects were preferred for effective results compared to Parasara aspects by KSK.

iii) Judgement: A) Punarphoo If in a chart there is a connection between Saturn and Moon for a relevant Bhava then that particular Bhava result will be abnormally delayed with obstructions and frustrations. Saturn will have more adverse effect being the slow moving planet.

B)  Improving houses 1, 2, 3,6,10 & 11 houses are improving houses to the native and the remaining houses are improving houses for 7th Bhava/opposite party. The more connections to a particular Bhava with improving houses the more powerful and favourable result for the concerned Bhava.

C) Rules Bhava/Cusp lord i.e. the sign in which the cusp is placed that sign lord is the source/agent of that Bhava, Cuspal star lord gives the nature of result and Cuspal sub lord gives the result of the house more predominantly and essential for minute prediction.

In Stellar Astrology a planet deposited in a particular star gives the results of the lord of the star and acts as an agent of the star lord. A planet transiting in a sign is the source of the event, the lord of the star in which the planet is transiting signifies the nature of the event according to its nature, occupation and lordship, while at the same time the sub lord decides whether the event is favourable or not according to its lordship.

Significators of an event if connected with positive and negative houses, positive and negative results will prevail.

Note: i) A planet gives the results singly according to its nature. If it conjoins with another planet or aspected by another planet gives combined results according to their nature. Also when a planet is posited in a star the planet gives the nature of the star lord accordingly.

ii. Whenever, Sub Lord is referred, if it .is not directly connected with the concerned cusp, then the lord of the star in which the sub lord is posited if connected with the relevant cusp then also the result can be taken.

iii) If the sub lord or star lord is not connected with the relevant cusps, then the nodes representations are to be taken.

6. Example horoscope for analysis: DOB: 14-6-1940, TOB: 22.20hrs. Long82-01, Lat 16-30, Sun 60-31, Moon 171-53, Mars 85-07, Mer 83-18, Jup 13-24,Ven 78-39®, Sat 17-34,Ra 173- 51& Ke 353-51. Cusps: I 297-34, II 333-54, III 7-42, IV 46-37, V 62-23, VI 88-10, VII 117-34, VIII 153-54,IX 187-42, X 6-37, XI 242-23 & XII 268-10. Moon Dasa Balance at birth: 1yr 1m 0d.

i) Longevity: Rule: 1CS/L c/w 1,5,9 long life, 6,8,12 short life and middle life 6,8,or 12 and short life 1/5/9 . In this chart, I CS/L Jup c/w 5, 9& 11cusps hence long life (Above 75 yrs). Jup is in Star/Sub of Ven/Ven c/w 4, 5, 9 & 8. Jup conjoined with Mars and Mer who are c/w 2,6,11 & 12 and5, 11 & 12. The native will have minor ailments and cure, having Long life.

ii) Education: Rule 4,9 & 11 cusps. In the chart 4 CS/L Mer c/w 6,8,11 &12.So basic education successful after initial difficulties. 9 CS/L Ra c/w 6,8 &11 and Jup Edn.Karaka c/w 4,9,11 & 12 so, higher education completes successfully after failures and sudden obstacles.

Note: For longevity determination umpteen combinations are there in traditional system whereas in KP it is simple.

7. Further research after Prof KSK: Prof KSK could not do research on Sub-sub level, even though he desired because of cruel fate of death and subsequently carried by his followers. Similarly, Horary Nos.1 - 249 (sub level) gone to sub-sub level of Nos.1 - 2193. In predictive part of KP system three different systems were evolved and they are--

i) Sub Sub lord Theory (Multi Stellar System MST) by Dr.Kar:

F1 - Planet A is in the star of B.

F2 - Planets A & B in the star of C.

F3 - Planet A in the sub or sub sub of B, B in the star of C.

F4 -Planet A in the sub or sub sub of B, B is in the star of C and C is in the star of D.

ii. 4 Step theory developed in Maharashtra by Mr.Husbe and Sri S.G.Gandhalekar, Thana: KP Principle

Plan -- a. Star lord, b. Sub lord gives whether the results are successful or not (+ve or -ve) due to its placement or ownership,

C) placement/occupation and d. ownership of houses. This principle/discovery has shaken the Astrological world and known as a sub lord theory in KP method which is carried forward i.e., Sub lord will give the results indicated by Star lord of the sub lords. This is fourth step.

Dr.Andrew Datta (Sri Indrajit), one of the sincere and ardent students of Guruji Late Sri PVK Punneswara Rao, presently doing further studies and research on KP system, published numerous research and useful articles and running quarterly journal JASA( Journal for advancement of Stellar Astrology). Conducting Professional Courses, Videos on KP system. Details can be browsed in kpastrologylearning.com

Sri Punit Pandey summarized KP System in five principles-

2. Twelfth house from any Bhava negate the results of that house.

3. Results of an event are decided by a group of houses.

4. Sub Lord of a planet qualify the results of that planet.

5. Cuspal Sub Lord tells whether the event is promised or not.

Long live Krishnamurti Padhdhati
