Varshaphal and Muntha

Varshaphal and Muntha http://ancestorsandvedicastrology.blogspot.com/ Varshphal and Muntha Parashari, Jamini, and Tajik are the three most popular systems of Vedic Astrology. Parashar gives more importance to the planets while Jamini considers the Rashis to be more important. Tajik is mainly used in Prashna Shastra and in Varshaphal. Tajik diverts slightly always from the main stream of the traditional methods and employs newer techniques of Astrology. 'Tajik Neelakanthi', of Acharya Neelakantha, which was composed in the 16th century AD, is the base of Taik Jyotish. This does not mean that Varshaphal and Prashna techniques were not practiced in Vedic Astrology before this. 'Uttar Kalamrit' of Kalidas mentions and describes the computation of Varshaphal dasha which is different from the 'Mudda dasha' of Varshaphal. Apart from this, 'Shat Panchashikha' of Prithyushyas is the established classic of Prashna Shastra, which was composed centuries before 'Tajik Neelakanthi'. Ancient Kairaleeya Jyotish is also well known for considering Prashna to be their main technique. The word Tajik The influence of Greek and Arab culture is clearly seen on the word 'Tajik'. Arrival of the invaders from Western Asia initiated the exchange of culture between India and West Asia. This exchange introduced some newer techniques to our Vedic Astrology. One of these techniques was Tajik. This has been marked as the beginning of Tajik jyotish. Tajik word does not belong to Sanskrit. There are different opinions regarding this issue. Some scholars consider it to be a distorted from of the word 'Jatak'. Another view is that meaning of Tajik is a horse in Turkish and Persian language. The speed of this technique has been compared to that of a horse and for this reason it has been named Tajik. In any case the influence of Mohammedans on this knowledge is very clear. This is also confirmed by the other words of Tajik, namely mudda, muntha, sahams and the names of the Tajik Yogas like Ithasal, Ikkabal, Ishraf, nakta, radda and khallasar etc. Annual Horoscope Moving at the average speed of 1° per day, Sun completes one round of the Zodiac in one year. For casting the annual horoscope we select the time when Sun reaches the longitude of the natal Sun. The horoscope cast for that date and time becomes the annual horoscope and the Varshaphal is decided on the basis of this horoscope. In a similar manner prediction for any year of the person's life can be given on the basis of the annual horoscope. In other words the annual horoscope is based on the longitude of the natal Sun and not on the date and time of birth. This also means that the date, day and time of the annual horoscope is generally different from that of the birth horoscope. Special Characteristics of Tajik Varshaphal The main base of Tajik Jyotish is the Parashari system itself. The same nine planets, twelve houses, twelve Rashis and their traditional significations are used in the Tajik. The new additions are different and are being mentioned here briefly. Muntha Determination of Grahabala Method for calculation of Tajik grahabala is different from the Parashari method. Deeptamsha For Tajik Yogas to form between two planets. These are the Vimshottari Mudda. He plays an important role in life during that year. 16 Tajik Yogas are in general practice. Yogini mudda and the Patyayini mudda dashas. Annual horoscope is cast on the basis of the Varsha pravesh. For example if janma Lagna is Aquarius.Is the yearly progression of janma Lagna at the rate of one Rashi every year. That planet is known as the varshesh for that year. then after one year the muntha will fall in Pisces and in Aries in the next year. Tajik Yoga These Yogas are quite different from the Parashari Yogas. their mutual aspects are not enough. one planet out of the seven planets from Sun to Saturn is selected as the year lord. Varsha pravesh Varsha pravesh for a certain year takes place when the transit Sun reaches the longitude of the natal Sun that year. Tajik aspects Tajik aspects of planets are totally different from the Parashari aspects. In this manner after twelve years muntha reaches the Lagna again. Samudra Chakra . They also need to be in the deeptamsha range. Mudda Dasha Three types of varsha dashas are mainly used in Tajik. These become sensitive points and are expressed in terms of Rashis and degrees. Varshesh / Varsheshwar For every year of life. Tri Pataki Vedha Chakra Benefic and malefic vedha to Moon and other planets is noted in this Chakra. The deeptamsha range for all the planets is fixed. Saham Approximately 40-50 Sahams are calculated for analyzing different areas of life. From the above given information it must have become clear that the analysis of Varshaphal is quite different from the Parashari analysis. E.g. it is possible to successfully predict the events of the year and to give accurate answers related to any area of life. However it is necessary to remember that the annual horoscope is an extension and an application of the birth horoscope and is fully influenced by the Yogas. the child will not be conceived or delivered. Muntha The scholars feel that the word Muntha is a distortion of the Persian word 'Intiha' which means the limit or the end. In reality it is the progression of Janma Lagna. By observing the Tajik Yogas. Intiha got distorted to mintiha. Rule 1 House wise (Completed years +1) ÷ 12 Take the remainder and count that number of houses starting from Lagna. For example if a child is not promised in the horoscope then even if the annual horoscope gives strong indications of child birth. then to Mintha. similarly annual horoscope can only ensure those results which are originally promised in the horoscope. Rashi of that number will become the muntha. In this manner it passes through all the houses in twelve years. In the birth year.Samudra Chakra is studied for a quick and brief analysis of Varshaphal. Varshaphal has its own importance. In the thirteenth year it comes back to the Lagna. Mudda dashas and the sahams. Muntha will be situated in that house. Just as transit of planets can only deliver the results which are promised in the horoscope. dashas and the transit situation of the birth horoscope. Rule 2 Rashi wise (Completed years + Rashi of Janma Lagna) ÷ 12 Take the remainder. Though both are analyzed in different ways. If the remainder is 5 then muntha will be placed in the fifth house from Lagna. For this reason it becomes necessary to analyze the annual horoscope along with the birth horoscope.
