• the neechcha behavior might be psychologically dysfunctional, socially disapproved, even downright criminal, or perhaps physically disruptive to the life and health of the native and one's community.

• Normally, the neechcha graha represents a liability and a handicap.

Neechcha bhanga occurs (1) when the neechcha graha occupies a kendra - ideally in bhava-10 *and* (2) a graha in one of the neechcha lord's bhava or yuti the neechcha graha or the lord of the neechcha bhava = uchcha. For example, Albert Einstein's neechcha bhanga Budha occupies bhava-10 with uchcha Shukra. Einstein's Budha transformed his autistic spacey neechcha worldview into a civilization-changing insight into Time-Space.

Under neechcha bhanga conditions, the handicap becomes an asset.

At first, the neechcha graha makes the native look (to others) and perhaps feel (within) that one lacks some important ability or intelligence, has made a poor choice such as in marriage, or is poorly positioned by education or talent to achieve some goal.

• See below, the "thought experiments" of physicist Albert Einstein with neechcha bhanga Budha. These musings upon the nature of reality at first seemed childish and insupportable as a legitimate method of modern science. Yet Einstein's visualization method was eventually accepted as a viable new paradigm because it parlayed into testable theories. It eventually became a harbinger intellectual behavior of the scientific New Age -- and by the mid-20th century was actually the dominant paradigm in modern physics.

• See below, the public humiliation of Hillary Clinton with neechcha bhanga Surya in lagna. Her husband's indecent behavior and her apparent compliance with it initially caused a severe drop in public confidence in her moral integrity and caused many to question her leadership capabilities. However within the duration of Surya period, her personality was widely admired for qualities of visible confidence, self-determination and regal dignity (Surya). In fact, people began to say, she is right (Surya) to maintain her investment in a sizeable and highly influential marital estate.

In other words, a neechcha bhanga graha will do its neechcha behavior first, and the native will be unappreciated.

Then the bhanga correction will kick in, and the native will be praised.

• But it is important to appreciate that generally the native first endures some type of social obloquy.

The neechcha graha gives initially, a variety of humiliation or failure. The praise and nobility does come, but only after one suffers some measure of disability, embarrassment, an acute lack of judgment, or a big mistake.

For example,

• Albert Einstein's neechcha bhanga Meena Budha occupies bhava-10 with uchcha Shukra.
• Einstein's Budha transformed his autistic spacey neechcha Meena (imagination) worldview into a civilization-changing insight into Time-Space.

True neechcha-bhanga graha flip from socially criticized underperformance to stunning, spectacular performance.

But the rules for legitimizing this switch are strict.

Q:

i want to ask u one question in one has nich grah in LAGNA kundali and in navmansha the nich grah becomes uch then NICHBHANGA IS CANCELD OR NOT?

A :

Two sets of rules for cancellation of debility or neechcha-bhanga, according to two authorities (Dr. Frawley and Shri Raman), are posted above.

• So far as I know, the simple fact of a neechcha graha obtaining its uchcha rashi in navamsha does not create a full neechcha bhanga (reversal of the neechcha Dosha).

• If the neechcha graha meets even one of Shri Raman's conditions, the dosha is much relieved. the native need not be worried about a severe social or psychological handicap. However the absence of a handicap does not immediately parlay into the presence of a praiseworthy characteristic.

• With a full neechcha bhanga, the neechcha graha not only causes no trouble, but also the original liability becomes a powerful asset in the native 's social career.

• It is common for neechcha graha to have various measures of "reduced neechcha" or limited liability due to favorable conditions for that graha in other views, e.g. Raman says that of the lord of the neechcha graha's occupied house occupies a kendra from lagna or from Chandra, then the neechcha dosha is removed.

• In my experience Raman is correct (as he nearly always is!). Nevertheless, the full neechcha bhanga wherein the liability becomes an amazing positive (similar effect to Viparita Raja Yoga but a different planetary cause) only occurs when Dr. Frawley's conditions are met.

A: well I think you will get a reduction of debility per Frawley's rules above, and you will get all the financial benefits of Chandra-Mangala yoga since Mangala is in 11 . However, just receiving drishti from its lord will not eliminate the neechcha condition of Mangala, particularly considering Mangala's involvement with Rahu-Ketu. It's true that Mangala benefits somewhat from occupation of a kendra from Chandra and drishti from Chandra. However Chandra is weakened by residing yuti Ketu . The good news is that Rahu and Mangala are, separately and together, money-earners in the 11th house, and the financial benefits of Chandra-Mangala yoga are not harmed by the neechcha status of Mangala. You will earn well professionally, and with lagnesha Budha in 2 you are also an efficient saver.

Folks with neechcha graha are usually on the lookout for shloka that will justify a neechcha bhanga, but most of the time neechcha is neechcha. Corrections are not that common. But ironically it is in the nature of the neechcha graha to be in denial about its debility - basically, these are graha that are weak and looking for excuses. Neechcha graha tend to be associated with various moral weaknesses such as blaming, stealing, plagiarizing, taking credit for the work of others, hiding behind the law, avoiding personal responsibility, and generally not living up to its spiritual potential. So naturally it is the very people with the neechcha graha who try to concoct justifications for its purported correction. The way to correct it, if it truly does not receive NB in the nativity, is via Seva.

BV Raman's says that neechcha bhanga can be reckoned if the lord of the neechcha graha occupies a kendra from Chandra. This method of neechcha bhanga correction seems to be insufficient but it was insisted to me recently by a client who seemed to be living with a rather neechcha set of lifestyle choices! I think he was just weaseling out of his responsibility to look carefully at this neechcha graha and its effects in his life. He was operating an illicit business. Raman's rules are so flexible that they can be easily misused. But even this flexible method will not yield the correction you are looking for. It might be better to just be honest and look for seva opportunities to work with people who have neechcha-Mangala (emotionally manipulative, arm-twisting, and thieving) types of problems.

Examples of neechcha bhanga:

Thula-Surya in radix lagna for USA Senator 2000-2008 and Secretary of State 2008-2013 Hillary Clinton.

Mrs. Clinton's neechcha Surya/1 also receives drishti of neechcha Kuja/10 - a very public situation!

Neechcha bhanga is obtained because

1. Surya (1) occupies a kendra

2. Surya = yuti His lord Shukra, and Shukra in kendra + swakshetra.

In Shukra/Surya period, Hillary Clinton endured the intense public embarrassment of her husband's extremely public sexual affair with a young White House intern.

• About which her contemptible spouse also lied under oath.

• Humiliation for his infidelity, lack of discretion, and apparent lack of moral character (at least the lying part) was heaped upon Bill Clinton's long-suffering wife.

That was the neechcha part.

Before the end of the Shukra/Surya period, Hillary Clinton's public approval rating rose to 70%.

• 70% is an extremely high public-approval statistic for a political figure in the USA.

• It is also a remarkable number for a woman who had been harshly criticized in regard to the same situation only months earlier. The public assessment of her conduct was, in the end, exceptionally favorable.

• he broad consensus amongst the American electorate was that she had carried herself with dignity and remained in the marriage for benefit of personal (and national) stability.

• Furthermore, her leadership qualities (Surya) of endurance, forgiveness, and focus on goals (L-11 Surya) were well proven in bright limelight of extreme public scrutiny during a period of severe emotional and social stress.

That was the bhanga part.

Meena-Budha in karma bhava for Albert Einstein.

Neechcha bhanga is obtained because Budha (1) occupies a kendra (2) through parivartamsha yoga, Budha's lord Guru obtains swakshetra.

• At the beginning of atmakaraka-uchcha-Shukra/neechcha-bhanga-Budha period, astronomers considered a number of Einstein's claims -- because these claims were based on "thought experiments" -- to be scientifically unsupportable.

• His claims regarding the effect of gravity upon light were ignored, belittled, or outright rejected On the basis of apparent contradiction by the evidence.

that was the neechcha part.

• By the end of Shukra/Budha period (where Budha = L-1+L-4) in the year 1915, Einstein had published the General Theory of Relativity (Zur allgemeinen Relativitätstheorie ), in much the same form this theory has today.

• General Theory of Relativity, accessible to both scholars and lay readers, has been in continuous print since 1915.

• General Theory of Relativitysince 1915 is used as a standard text in all universities.

That was the bhanga part.

Examples

Neechcha bhanga Mangala in bhava-11 = large groups of people, global financial networks, and social activism for popular causes.

Neechcha-bhanga Mangala in 11 = USA president Harry Truman,

who rose to political power from a completely obscure background with little formal education by means of extraordinary networking skills (11) and optimistic (Guru) perspicacity and not a little back-room bribery (neechcha Mangala = illicit earnings).

His originally poor social skills (he was very near-sighted and wore thick glasses) and low self esteem (he mainly stayed home with his mom) were converted by NB to a condition of nationwide popularity via uchcha Guru in the bhava-11 with the neechcha Mangala, in 10th-from-Chandra. Truman won the USA presidential election in Budha-Guru period. That shows genuine neechcha bhanga for sure.

He already has massive international networking connections including abundant finances (some of it questionably sourced, neechcha Mangala-11).

Zardari rose to power swiftly in Pakistan during Shani-Guru bhukti.

Of course with Beatle Paul McCartney there is also a Kala Sarpa Yoga and that usually propels the person into some dramatic sacrificial role in addition to being very well known and earning beaucoup as a result of carrying the hopes of Everyman.

Perhaps McCartney's widely publicized bereavement from his first wife's death followed by his very public divorce from his second marriage with tremendous expense all detailed for the popular press, may have finally paid off his "sacrificial victim" KSY karma.
