Mahapurusa yoga
what happens to a human being after he endures suffering? In what direction does the
Mahapurusa go? Can we ignore lagna? Look at this statement –
Lakshmi brings Love to the native
Griha Lakshmi gives him all the comforts and security
Dhana Lakshmi gives him the wealth of values that he cherishes
Kanakdhara gives him a stable business or carrer so that the flow of wealth and energy is
sustainable
Mahalakshmi gives him victory in war
Vijaya lakshmi gives him victory in debates and legal battles…
Did you notice how the prefix Maha causes a warrior like image. That is what I was always
advising that people should think of the panca mahapurusha as the five pandava brothers. See the
definition for Kaladruma yoga and here also we find the condition of victory in wars and battles
and this is associated with Lagna. To think of the Mahapurusa as the five heads of Lord Shiva is
correct in a spiritual context but it fails to appreciate the condition that Shiva told Draupadi – no
human being can be born with all the five heads or abilities in its complete form. That is why
Draupadi had to have five husbands to fulfill the five mahapurusha requirements/abilities.
Now if you want to have a guard for the door, what would be the attributes that you will select?
A good Pandit who is well versed in the vedas (Jup) or a black belt in Karate (Mars)? Naturally
the Pandit will make a mess of things if he is asked to guard the door. He will fail to be strict due
to his innate goodness and all sorts of riff-raff will enter into that area of his life thereby
exploiting and damaging his life. A malefic planet will be harsh (Mars) strict (Saturn) or
suspicious (Rahu) or very fiery (Sun) and will guard the door of his life with superb ability.
That is the meaning of Kendradhipati dosha.
Now what happens if the benefic gets fighting powers and a brahmin who is supposed to read
books and Vedas decides to make weapons (take the case of Dronacharya or Albert Einstein or
all those scientists who are involved in arms manufacture)…believe me, they will end up making
the most destructive weapons in the world. A brahmin must always use his brains for spiritual
path and peace. So when the benefic who is the lord of a Kendra also occupies a Kendra which
happens to be its own sign or exaltation, then it becomes a ‘Maha’ Graha and has fighting
powers, which when invoked can be very harsh.
What happens in real life is that at first the benefic allows all kinds of riff-raff to enter that
aspects of his life and this is sure to happen if the lord of the Kendra is placed in a dusthana,
especially the 6th house. This is the real meaning of Kendradhipati dosha. If the benefic is
instead strong like being vargottama or in its own sign/exaltation in kendra forming a Maha yoga
then the native will fight back and depending on stregth of the benefic will succeed or lose. In
such a case it is crucial to make the benefic strong with gemstones and worship of the adhi
devata or pratyadhi devata etc as per standard methods taught.
Sanjay Rath: That was precisely the point I was trying to make when discussing the meaning of
Sama saptaka. According to the standard dictum,Jupiter in lagna and Mars in 7H or vice-versa
should cause this while another dictum clearly confirms Saturn in lagna and Mars in 7H.
The point I was trying to make is to understand the Sama nature of the planets involved. In the
chart of your sister, Venus is in lagna and degree wise is far more dominant than Saturn. In fact
she should be independent, listening to everyone but doing what she feels right, ill health till say
10 years of age (general)…and definitely far from madness. She will actually be a very
intelligent person. So you see how the presence of Venus in lagna has made the yoga defunct.
Now you see when Jupiter is in lagna and Mars is in the 7th, should we listen to Atri and
Agastya praising this great yoga as the guru- mangala yoga in Sapta Rishi nadi or should I take
that unmada yoga combination? What happens to all those other slokas about Guru in lagna and
natural benefic like Jup destroying all evils (you have also made this point). So definitely that
yoga mentioned is defunct and the yoga will work if Mars is in or aspects lagna and Jupiter is in
5 or 9th house but definitely not when Guru is in Kendra in lagna
