from Shri B. V. Raman's "Three Hundred Important Combinations"

Definition -When the 11th lord is in deep exaltationand joins Venus in a Kendra from the lord of the lagna, Vidyuta Yoga is caused.

Results:

Remarks:Depending upon the exact strength of the two lords causing the yoga, the person either be a king or equal to him.

He will control wealth and he will be a man of generous instincts.

Here Venus, the 11th lord and Lord of Lagnaare required to be disposed in a particular manner.

Venus is the planet of pleasure and comforts, whereas the lord of the 11th indicates gains.

Naturally when the Lagna is strong and the house of gains and lord of comforts and luxuries is equally strong, one is bound to be well off in life

Definition: If the 10th lord is in a Kama Thrikona, the Lord of Lagna and Jupiter are in association, the Sun being strong, is exalted and the Moon Occupies the 9th, Gandharva Yoga arises.

Results.The person will attain unparalleled

skill in fine arts, will be strong, will be pleasure-loving, will be well-dressed, will become famous and will live up to 68 years.

Remarks:

Gandharva Yoga as the name implies makes one a connoisseur in fine arts such as music, dancing, painting, etc.

Kama Thrikona means the trinal houses from the 7th, viz., 7th, 11th and 3rd.

The 10th lord must occupy one of these houses in conjunction with Jupiter, the Sun being strong

should be exalted and the Moon shouldremain in the 9th house. If all these conditions are present, then the Yoga will be in full swing.

Otherwise, a trace of

Definition If The lord of the 5th is in the 9th, the lord of the 9th is in the 10th and the lord of the 10th is in the 5th, Siva Yoga is caused.

Remarks: The combination seems to be simple but full of significance.the 5th and 9th are powerful trikonas and the 10th is a powerful kendra.

Disposition of the lords of these three in a particular order as adumbrated in this combination fortifies the houses of fortune and Karma so that the person is supposed to become a beneficiary in respect of fortune, trade, philosophical knowledge and other activities.

In estimating the strength of this yoga, due importance must be given to the mutual rela tions of the lords of the 9th, 5th and 10th.

• thus, in respect of Mesha Lagna, Siva Yoga can be caused by the presence of the 5th lord (Sun) in the 9th, and Saturn in the 10th or 5th, because of the ownership Of the two adjoining houses by Saturn.

The Sun being placed in the 9th, and Saturn in the 10th, is Astronger Siva Yoga than the Sun and Saturn exchanging their houses.

In the latter circumstance whilst no doubt Siva Yoga is caused by the Sun (lord of the 5th) occupying the 10th (a house of Saturn) and Saturn (lord of the 10th) occupying the 5th, both the planets are such bitter enemies that the combination, though on account of Parivarthana between the 5th and 10th lords some kind of Yoga is generated, is full of evil indications.

• In other words, Siva Yoga, as far as this writer's study goes, is not of much consequence in respect of Mesha Lagna unless both the Sun and Saturn have acquired sufficient Moolathrikonadi Bala

= both Raja and Dhana Yoga

Results: the person will lead an enjoyable life, acquire fortunes from various countries, earn in lakhs, will be strong, well-versed in discussions, witty in conversations, a worshipper of Vishnu, praised by the rulers and will live up to one hundred years free from disease.

All the results attributed to the Yoga may not happen.

But the native will enjoy most of The blessings of Vishnu Yoga.

various results happening on a moderate scale.

In all such cases, where big results are attributed The astrologer should be very careful in Assessing the real strength of the main lord causing

The Yoga.

• The combination of the 9th and 10th lords constitutes in itself a powerful Raja Yoga

• And this Occurring in the 2nd,

• combined with the Amsha lord,

• is indeed a powerful Dhana Yoga

• so that there is a blending of Raja and Dhana Yogas.

The combination implies that the 2nd house must be occupied by at least three planets and hence not of very frequent Occurrence.

Definition: If Jupiter and Venus are in Kendras respectively from the lords of the 9th and 11th, and

Mercury is in a similar position from the lord of either Lagna or the 10th, Brahma Yoga is caused.

Results: The person will enjoy luxurious foods, will be respected by Brahmins and learned men, will be highly learned, long-lived, charitable and always bent on doing good deeds.

Remarks: The Yoga in question seems to bestow highly beneficial results implying that the native would command health, wealth, fame and above all instincts for serving others.

It will be seen that in The formation of this Yoga, all the natural benefics are involved.

Even here, the exact strength and signification of the Yoga rests to a large extent upon a number of other horoscopic factors.

• For Mesha Lagna, for example this yoga cannot be deemed to be formed in all its aspects inasmuch as lord of the 9th is Jupiter so that Jupiter's disposition in a Kendra from the 9th lord is entirely ruled out.

• Similarly when Cancer is the Lagna, two conditions of the yoga would be absent as lords of the 9th and 11th respectively become Jupiter and Venus.

• Again if Lagna is Virgo or Sagittarius the yoga can­not be full, because in regard to Virgo.

Mercury becomes lord of the 10th while in regard to Sagittarius, Mercury and Venus become lords of the 10th and 11th so that the disposition of Venus and Mercury respectively in kendras from the lords of the 11th and 10th is not possible.

• So far as Dhanus is concerned, in the place of the 10th lord, Lord of Lagnamay be considered.

However, it does not seem erroneous to assume that even in respect of Aries, Cancer and Virgo, this yoga could be deemed to be present with a slight modification.

Results.andHighly courageous, lasting fame, a King of Kings, good enjoyments and living up to 36 years.

Remarks: Unless the house of longevity is powerful, one has to assume that Indra Yoga does not confer longevity.

• Professor Rao has offered very suggestive remarks on his Sata Yoga Manjari in suggesting that Christ, Shankara and Alexander are examples of short life but of lasting name and I would refer the readers to these notes.

though classical writers have attributed highly favourable results to this Yoga, I have my own doubts.

Definition: Sun should join the 10th and the lord of the 10th must be in the 3rd in conjunct ion with Saturn.

Results: Respected by rulers, well-versed in sciences, becoming famous after the 15th year, highly passionate, liking simple food, possessing lotus-like eyes and well-developed chest.

The Sun should occupy the 10th, while The 10th lord should be in the third with Saturn.

• For Mesha, Vrishabha and Vrischika Lagnas, Ravi Yoga cannot at all be said to exist in its real sense.
• For Dhanus, Makara, Simha and Kanya Lagnas, Ravi Yoga would be almost impossible because in these cases the 10th lord happens to be either Mercury or Venus;
• when the Sun is in the 10th, Mercury Or Venus cannot be in the 3rd from Lagna as it implies A distance of nearly 150 to 180 degrees from the Sun which is astronomically impossible.

Above explanations, one can easily see that Ravi Yoga is indeed of rare occurrence.

Definition: The lord of Navamsha occupied by The Moon should be exalted and birth should occur during daytime when the Moon is waxing.

Results: Respected by the pious, polished speech, feared by the enemies, strong and facing danger from poison in the 34th year.

Remarks:

Importance is given to the Moon.

• The lord of the Moon's Navamsha should be exalted.

• The Yoga cannot occur in regard to people born during night times or when the Moon is waning.

Why the native should meet with danger from poison in his 34th year is not at all clear.

A lot of practical experience must have guided the framers of this combination in coming to the conclusions they have done.

The danger should not be predicted when the house of longevity is strong enough.

Definition: Strong Jupiter should occupy his

Moolathrikona with the lord of the 2nd house And The Lord of Lagnashould be in exaltation.

Results: Hailing from a respectable family, a king or an equal to him, wealthy and strong.

Remarks: Jupiter is Dhanakaraka or indicator Of wealth.

He should occupy his Moolathrikona with

The lord of the 2nd and the ascendant lord must remain inexaltation.

The Sun, the Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn, respectively have, as their Moola-Thrikonas, Leo, Taurus, Aries, Virgo, Sagittarius, Libra and Aquarius.

• For Scorpio and Aquarius, since the second happens to be owned by Jupiter,

  The question of association with the second lord does not arise.

Jupiter's Moolathrikona being confined to the first thirteen degrees of Sagittarius, Go Yoga can be present only in respect of those born when Jupiter Occupies his particular arc in the heavens.

In other words, this yoga, unlike Gajakesari, Vasi or Vesi, is subject to a law of periodicity, coming into effect Only when Jupiter occupies the constellation of Moola.

Definition: If the Full Moon is in the 9th in conjunction with Jupiter and Venus, and Mercury joins Navamsha Lagna,. Gola Yoga is produced.

Results.andPolite, learned, Magistrate or head of A village, long-lived and eating wholesome food.

Remarks: The yoga can come into effect provided the Moon is full and not otherwise.

Mercury must occupy Navamsha Lagna.

Such a Full Moon should be in the 9th with Jupiter and Venus.

In Other words, even Gajakesari Yoga gets merged into Gola, inasmuch as when Jupiter and the Moon are in conjunction, they would be supposed to be in a

kendra from each other.

Definition:

The Sun, the Moon and Mars should be in trines from each other. ;

Results: Great wealth, a terror to his enemies, highly intelligent and good longevity.

Remarks: Irrespective of the presence of any particular kind of Yoga, dispositions of planets in mutual trines is always held to be highly favourable.

One born in such a combination will have A smooth career and will not have to contend against un­favourable forces

Definition.andAll planets should be in the 5th from Lagna, the Sun and the Moon.

Results: Unbroken line of successors, wealthy, healthy and long-lived.

Remarks: As the name implies, one born when the benefics are disposed in 5th from Lagna, the Sun the Moon will have plenty of children and the family traditions will be perpetuated by his children, grand-children and so on in an unbroken fashion.

The fifth house becomes the focal point.

The man will also be capable of producing a large number of children.
