Bhrighu Yogavali Part 1

By: AVN Acharyulu

By Maharshi Bhrighu
A Mission Saptarishis Initiative

Preface
Every translation of a rare manuscript like this has a story. The story is never printed but scholars and passionate astrologers have a strong lurking desire to know the detailed process behind each work of this type. Our friend Ms Helen Patterson once insisted that we write an article describing the amount of troubles that are taken to finally get a translation out. If that is written then it could be interpretated by some as the team is trying to be boastful and take credit and one would normally not do that. Yet this has a story which might be of interest to some and some folks must be acknowledged is our main intention. After half a dozen articles of Bhrighu Saral Paddathi (BSP) series were published some 2 to 2.5 years back we received a call from an acquaintance who had been repeatedly in touch with us regarding procurement of nadis & some other Jaimini manuscripts which we did send it to him. Here we must hasten to highlight that this acquaintance has been referred to by Mr. K N Rao as his young bhrighu friend in his writings. This gentleman informed us in detail that he spent the complete of last 3 days testing the techniques of BSP on hundreds of charts and it was working to such an extent that it was astonishing and thus he wanted to know the source which we could not disclose at that point of time. However at this stage since BSP was yielding very good results to many a practioners including this Bhrighu friend of ours, who have been very humble in making these confessions to us, we must add that there is more to astrology than what we know of it in the last 1000s of years.... However this bhrighu friend of us mentioned the name of Bhrighu Yogavali during the course of discussions.... The name caught Bhrighu Yogavali caught our attention, we wanted to ask him where to find it but then he said that he has already given 1200 of such Bhrighu Yogavali texts, scanned in CDs to an internationally famous astrologer, which this aquaintance collected by travelling all over India and even Nepal. Then subsequently the hunt for this so called Bhrighu Yogavalis and are thankful to this young bhrighu friend of K N Rao started for creating this strong desire, hoping to

find something similar to BSPs in this Bhrighu Yogavalis. A hunt that has caused us some pain which would be mentioned in detail later. We started calling all our friends to hunt and further procure these Bhrighu Yogavalis. Finally it was SA volunteer Mr Ashutosh Kumar from Ranchi who having searched it in a lot of places got hold of it in Delhi, he probably paid Rs 5000/- ($110) for a photocopy from his own pocket and got one of the Bhrighu Yogavalis texts in Sanskrit. When he called us to inform about it, we were spell bound since texts of Bhrighu Rishi cannot be so easily obtained, but the edges of it were badly spoilt and the print very faint. Yet we were determined to translate it out since least to least some clues would be gotten. Then after having contacted many Sanskrit scholars who refused to touch it since the first 2 pages were missing and the later 30 odd pages had their edges spoilt thereby making the shlokas not possible to be properly translated, one Sanskrit translator agreed to translate and infact did some work on it but he turned rogue and later did some things of stabbing us in the back, this was a hurtful period since it showed us how bad we were in judging people. We gave up on the manuscript and it was a period of depression due to other incidents too. Finally a volunteer by the name of Mr. Upendra Agnihotram from Hyderabad contacted us that his father who resides in a village and is a Sanskrit school teacher would translate it into English but the problem was his father did not know English well and he could translate from Sanskrit to only Telegu language. Then Mr Upendra said he would in turn translate it into English. We took the chance and it took some time, infact a lot of time to get the job done since, Ashutosh took a long time getting it scanned (he had to get it done on a friends scanner) and then sending it to us, we would in return send it to Upendra, who would in turn send it to his father in a village in Andhra Pradesh and then his father would translate it on a piece of paper and then post it to Upendra who had to in turn translate and type out both Sanskrit and English during his spare time. One can wonder if a professional astrologer will be able to devote so much time to do what Upendra did, would he have the love for getting knowledge out like how Upendra had. Then a problem came about (this often happens with Bhrighu Texts) Mr Upendra got busy with official work and the work got stalled, at the same time Ashutosh was somehow not able to send further scanned copies. There was more mishaps which need not be mentioned as it would take space yet they were significant and caused more pain as the delay of reading what Bhrighu Rishi had authentically written, as for the first time in the history of astrology there was a written manuscript supposedly prescribed to Bhrighu Rishi, otherwise the Bhrighu Samhitas original leaves never come out in the open. We spoke to mentor somewhere during this period and he said that Khemraj Publishers, Mumbai had published one of these Bhrighu Yogavalis many decades back and to procure it from them, we called the owner and he was least interested in going to his godown to part with that one copy. Meanwhile during the Nadi Astrology Conference in Hyderabad we met once again the beautiful couple of Gowri Shankar and his wife Shakuntala and told them our problem, they said in an instant they would take over from Upendra (he has completed till 200 shlokas) and type it out and further translate it. Then there were technical problems with the Sanskrit typing which took our tool since none of us are computer experts and then the rough translation was ready but what about the first two pages which would give us the period of the text. A chance talking with one of the volunteers brought a solution, he said it is available in Bhandarkar Manuscript Library, Pune and he would procure it. Finally he sent us that manuscript which completed this particular text. There is a story behind this but due to a reason we do not mention the strange story behind it. Then Shakuntala compared both the texts and has finally reproduced the best out of it, though still some shlokas are missing. We had procured the help of Bhartiya Vidya Bhavan and even promised to pay some money to get the Sanskrit translation double checked since this text contains remedies for the yogas and remedies cannot be wrongly translated. Atleast the best of the efforts need to be made. Somehow that deal with BVB fell through and a lady having doctorate in Sanskrit was

contacted in Dehradun who promised to check the translation but after 2 months she could not be contacted again. Finally Chandrashekhar Sharma who had earlier been busy with other texts was forced to double check the translation and eventually Part 1 of this work is out, after a gap of 2 to 2.5 years. One would see after reading this text that for the first time one gets to see names of New Yogas in astrology, the reason behind a yoga, the past life karma and the remedy for it, all this escapes all the other texts on Yogas. The biggest joy for us is that it also corroborated one of the lectures that we had given in Hyderabad some years back wherein we had mentioned (without knowing if such a text exists) that each Yoga needs to state the remedy behind it and the karma done in the past life for that yoga to exist in the chart in this life. This made us most happy when recently we saw this translation of Bhrighu Yogavali. As to what we said in Hyderabad at an astrological conference and how Mr. A V Sundaram revealed some secrets to us, another article that is pending since a year will be published soon or probably together with this write up. We request everyone to read this manuscript translation of Bhrighu Yogavali which presumably is one of the 1200 manuscripts of the same name and as per the 2nd shloka, it seems to be from a period of Treta Yuga, probably making it one of the oldest Jyotish documents to ever come out.We thank that young bhrighu astrologer friend of K N Rao who directed us to this manuscript with just two words Bhrighu Yogavali, although this work is on yogas and does not contain predictive techniques similar to BSP, yet he must be thanked. Many of you would only read this work and go on with your day to day activities, our request is remove few minutes and thank the team atleast mentally, a team who dedicatedly worked on it and if you can send a Thank Younote to them would be most encouraging, but do remember the word Thank You does not exist in 99% of astrologers vocabulary, you would be that rare 1% of the breed. SA Publisher.
P.S: Please do not approach us for any contact details of people mentioned in articles because as a policy we would not able to furnish the same.

Result of Saumya yoga.


lagne aame candra krrayuktotha vkita || krraketreca jvajau soumy kedra trikoam || 32 ||

Saumya yoga is formed when Moon is in the Lagna, 6th or 8th house, is conjunct or aspected by malefics, Jupiter is placed in a rasi owned by malefics and benefic planets are in Kendras or Trikonas.

Sanskrit Editors Comment: The text appears to talk of Jupiter and Mercury in the house of malefic, but apparently it is a misprint since then it goes on to talk of benefics in plural. With Jupiter, Moon and Mercury already accounted for the only benefic left out is Venus. So there is some misprint and thus the translation as above seems to be right. However the yoga being named after Mercury (one of whose names is Saumya) one could also consider Mercury occupying malefic owned house and conjunct Jupiter being the condition.

saumyayoge kta prve mtulnyca sagama || tena ppnusrea uklaku prajyate || 33 ||

Saumya yoga is formed because in the past life, the person had sexual union with maternal uncles wife. As the result of that misdeed, he will suffer from white leprosy in the present life.

naktdho drgharog v shukahna ca jyate || alpadt bhavetkrodh putrastrmitradukhada || 34 ||

In the center of that (mandala) draw a figure of female with sandalwood akshataas (rice mixed with of sandalwood). Subsequently, perform japa of 9 lettered (Navakshara) Rudra mantra in front of that yantra.

The japa should be performed 5000 times as per the method stated earlier. Later donate 48 (8 x 6) gold coins on a day of auspicious star (nakshatra).

also take an iron vessel weighing 40 palas filled with oil, and donate them along with 3 (half of 6) cows to a good brahman.

mtyujaya mah matra vidhin saha lekhayet || dhrayitvtu revaikraye ddvijapjanam || 43 ||

write Mrityunjaya maha mantra as per the procedure and wear it in the head after worshipping Brahmins.

be (raivaikhrayet) and thus the meaning would be, one should should write the mrityunjaya mantra, hold it on ones head and recite it loudly after worshipping a Brahmin.

Sanskrit Editors comment: I think the word is a misprint and should

somavraikabhakta ca karttavya ca vieaata || tattaddanopacrea rogahna prajyate || 44 ||

especially, eating food only once on Mondays is worth doing. By performing (the above said) the danas and remedial measures, the native will be free from ailments.

The native, in his past life was an evil spirit, always committing sins and poisoned the food of his clansmen (or people of his own lineage) causing their death. Because of this sin, in the present life he will not have sons,

athav jyathe ku rjarog tath bhavet || kpao duavittaca ktaghno nirgua khala || 48 ||

or he will be born with leprosy or tuberculosis. He will be a miser, will earn money by evil means, and will be ungrateful, worthless and wicked.

He will consume liquor, eat meat, will be a hater, and will go to raurava hell. By donating lands and cows, the native will get sons. Sanskrit Editors comment: The donations indicated seem to be land for crematorium(

Bhrighu Yogavali - Part 3

Sanskrit Editor: Sri Chandrashehkhar Sharma Special Thanks To: Upendra Angnihotram Sanskrit Additional Comments: Guru Rajesh Preface to 3rd Part
What must be re-iterated is the base of any horoscope is yogas which determine the real power of a horoscope. The base of any yoga is the action committed in past life, this is mere lip service and so far astrologers have done nothing to understanding the basis of how each yoga is formed. Bhrighu Yogavali is one of those first manuscripts to give the past life karma behind each yoga, something our seniors could never get hold of. The most important part here is to understand the basis each yoga and this can be attempted by understanding the past life karma given by the Maharishi, this valuable part has been missing in yogas for thousands of years and hence we are unable to say the reason/karma behind a Mahabhagya yoga or a Gajakeshari yoga. Readers are requested to read the Damini Yoga results in the following pages. - SA

Pingala yoga is formed when benefics occupy Lagna, 2nd, or 10th houses and when malefics occupy 7th house or 5th house, or are in their debilitation or exaltation rasis which happen to be either Lagna or 2nd house.

tapasv niditaprve sdhvstr ca kalakit || ptrednatuktvvaipacttpa kta pur || 123 ||

The native (of this yoga) had abused an ascetic and defamed a virtuous married lady (by seducing her) in his past life. However, later, repenting his actions, he made donations to worthy (capable) people in the sanctuary of a temple.

Bhrigu said,

anestriikhepacasahasra japamcaret || Bptrapalatriaccadanairnavamaalam || 126 ||

(The native should) perform japa to Saturn 3000 times and Ketu 5000 times each. Take a brass vessel weighing 30 palas (a particular weight equal to 4 Karsas) and draw nine circles (nava mandala) in the center with sandalwood paste,

rpaaharidvare caturviatpuktam || tasyoparisamsnaprvoktajapamcaret || 127 ||

My son, take a brass vessel and draw a nava (new) mandala in the center. In the middle of the mandala, draw a figure of a Brahmin with sandalwood paste. Sanskrit Editors Comment: May be in the 1st line, should be (nave in place of na). In astrology Putra also means 5, and hence nave putra could also mean 59, perhaps weight of the brass vessel.

raktbarapardhyadvisahasrajapacaret || padmanbhatribjenajapakurynnasaaya || 137 ||

Later deposit 569 gold coins and double quantity of silver coins to be donated along with 14 pearls.[3] Sanskrit Editors Comment: I think there is misprint in the first line, maybe it should be meaning 6 x 5 = 30 gold coins instead of 569 gold coins.

End of Shula yoga phalam.

[1] Viphala means fruitless. Which may also means bereft of children who are considered to be the fruit of
married life. Guru Rajesh (GR)
[2] The meaning of Satru Kshetra is position in an inimical sign. Thus the above sloka means that the 5 th lord

should be placed in an inimical sign, or in a malefic sign or in a malefic house and at the same time Jupiter should occupy his inimical signs, which means the signs of Venus and Mercury. - GR

[3] What is important to note here is that for the first time we find remedial measures for each yoga, the karma

done in the past life to beget it in this life. Readers will observe the intricate manner of remedial measure and the number of remedial measure given, something you would not find even Parampara (tradional) Jyotish Gurus prescribing today. It is important to realize what we do not know, then humility and subsequently further learning sets in. - SA

[4] Ritvamte Strisu datavyam here has a different meaning. Ritu is the period when the egg will be released in the women which is considered as the period fit for coitus by the dharmasastras. Hence giving the Sri Phalam (here translated as coconutmay also mean the fruit of bilva tree) in this period will ensure successful fertilization and pregnancy. According to the mantrasastras maya mantram is Hreem.- GR [5] A lesser known fact among jyotish scholars is which are those yogas, if unhealed slowly destroy the

effectiveness of even some good yogas present in the chart. The base of every horoscope is Yogas and not Dasas, most authors unearth 100s of dasas but if you ask them to quote the names of 50 yogas they cant whereas it is said that there are more than 100,000 yogas (a maharashtrian astrologer had written a book on it) . The need of the hour is for Jyotish organizations & publications to invest in projects to unearth rare materials on Yogas, something no Jyotish institution has done in the last 100 years inspite of hefty amounts of donation. A one million dollar donation in USA to a Jyotish organization has produced not even a single material/book of our ancient Jyotish literature, lakhs of Rupees of donation to a famous jyotish magazine from north of india has resulted in not even a single material of jyotish literature coming out for the common astrologer. If organizations do not understand their role in shaping astrological thinking then jyotish is doomed and will deteriorate, as it has happened in India in the last 25 years where astrology is taught in classroom culture with no emphasis for classical reading, the only emphasis is the notes of the classes. Instead of astrology being a karma oriented shastra it has now become will I win the election shastra at the hands of astrologers who are hungry for media fame. An astrologer was more respected 25 years back than now, self promoting heads of jyotish organizations are the culprits of this decay in astrology.- SA

[6] Here also the sloka means that the medicine should be given to the women after her ritu snanam.- GR
[7] Sukhamadhyepyudaasati means the native though placed amongst many comforts will be moody and melancholic.GR [8] Read verse 159 and understand the result of karma of treachery against a friend, the Maharishi says such a

one will become bereft of wealth, will face worries on account of children, this gives us some clue as to how karma is being operated upon. Now see verse 158, 157 and see why 4L in bad houses or with a malefic the Maharishi is saying treachery against a friend, the reason is since 4H is close friends and not 11H as taught all over India and in foreign jyotish courses. We have 2 years back in our editorials mentioned with the Parasara shloka (chapter 11/12 Verse 4) that Parasara talks about 4H as friend and so does Chandra Kala Nadi/Deva Kerelam yet this has been ignored by most Jyotishis including Jyotish Gurus. 11H is ones network of contacts whereas close friends are always close to ones heart (4H) as ones mother (4H) is naturally close to ones heart. There is difference between philosophical heart and physical heart as an organ. Thats the reason some take 5H as the physical organ and 4h as the spiritual heart center as Mother is close to ones heart always and Mother (4H) cannot be in the 12th of losses from ones heart. Another way to look at is one uses sweet talk/PR to deal with ones contacts (11H) for ones gains (11H) whereas with ones mother (4H) and close friends (4H) one is always direct and there is no PR involved.- SA
[9] These two slokas 165 & 166 seem to be referring to some code words. Ramam cha lakshmanam Naagam

godugdhena samanvitam when translated literally mean take Rama and lakshmana and naaga along with cows milk. This may be a code word for any ayurvedic preparation - GR
[10] Gajayoge bhavet putro means the native with gajayoga will have a son respected by king and powerful. The native will also be respected, having angry disposition, long life and many sons. - GR [11] Turyaste bhe subhaasubhaah means both malefics and benefics should occupy the 4th and 7th houses, besides Moon with a malefic in the ascendant. There is no mention of Venus here. - GR [12] Here Saumya Kshetre may also mean any benefic sign - GR [13] Guru Yogaat sukham bhavet may also indicate that because of the presence of Jupiter in the 9 th house, the remedial measures will give fruit and he will be happy. - GR [14] Neecha satru gruhe guruh means Jupiter occupying either debilitation sign or inimical signs. - GR [15] Chidra actually means the 8th house. It is not 6th house. - GR
