"Definition:

Remarks: The Panchamahapurusha Yogas can be said to exist only when the planets concerned are strong and are full of vitality. The meaning implies five types of great men.

Naturally, a really powerful Yoga would be a rare phenomenon. Emphasis is laid on the word halishtaso that if a planet is weak by debilitation, association or aspect the Yoga does not operate in its real sense, though nominally, it may exist.

Here importance is attached to the de facto rather than de jure presence of the Yoga. ...

Ruchaka Yoga is caused by the strong disposition of Mars in a Kendra identical with his own or exalted sign.

Ruchaka Yoga makes one martial, a leader of men, a great Commander, and an aggressive but patriotic ruler or an equal. "

• have a well-developed physique,

• will be strong-minded,

• wealthy,

• happy with children and wife,

• will command vehicles,

• eendowed with clean sense-organs

• and renowned and learned.

Remarks: Malavya Yoga can come into existence if Venus is exalted in a Kendra or occupies a Kendra which should be his own house.

Malavya Yoga cannot occur with reference to every sign of the zodiac.

Consistent with the nature of Venus, Malavya Yoga will make one

• resolute,

• immensely rich

• and give him happiness from wife and children

• and fame and name.

Venus is the indicator of conveyances, sensual pleasures, music, dancing, fine arts, luxury and material comforts.

NNaturally Malavya Yoga renders one inclined towards all the indications of Venus,

• with the result that his spiritual advancement and outlook will be in inverse ratio to his material comforts and pleasures.

In other words, while both Hamsa and Malavya are Raja Yogas, the former makes one more idealistic, spiritual, broad-minded and selfless, while the latter indicates love of pleasure, and a predominantly materialistic outlook of life.

Malavya Yoga can manifest in reference to the various Bhavas as given hereunder for persons born in different Lagnas.

• First house Seventh house Tenth house

• Taurus, Libra and Pisces

• Aries, Scorpio and Virgo

Definition.Sasa Yoga is given rise to if Saturn Occupies a Kendra

which should be his own or exaltationsign.

Results. One born in this Yoga will

• command good servants.

• His character will be questionable.

• He will be head of a village or a town or even a King,

• will covet other's riches and will be wicked in disposition.

Remarks.

Here Saturn comes into the picture.

He should be exalted in a Kendra or occupy a Kendra being his own house.

Birth in movable or fixed signs can give rise to Sasa Yoga by a certain disposition of Saturn.

• Naturally, common signs are exempted.

Saturn's inherent nature seems to play a large part in giving rise to the Yoga.

Saturn is cruel, mean, undignified and sinful and consistent with these characteristics, the results of Sasa Yoga should be depicted.

The man no doubt becomes famous and happy but his sexual outlook would be perverse.

He would be sporting with other men's wives and he would employ every unscrupulous means to gain other's money.

Most of our 'war contractors' would perhaps be having Sasa Yoga; otherwise they could not have minted millions at the cost of the poor man.

In interpreting the Sasa Yoga, due consideration should be bestowed on the disposition of the Moon.

If this luminary is free from affliction,

• Then the person having 'Sasa Yoga' will not covet other's wealth nor will he be unscrupulous.

• Where the Moon is not afflicted, the evil results attributed to Sasa Yoga can have an only 'restricted play'.

Vocabulary

Zasya :

• to be recited or treated as a Sastra;

• to be praised or celebrated;

• to be wished, desirable, excellent;

• good quality, merit
