Brief Astro Spiritual Portrait
“Swami Dayananda Saraswati was an Indian philosopher, social leader and founder of the Arya Samaj, which stands as a reformist movement of the Vedic dharma. Dayananda Saraswati was born on the 10th day of waning Moon in the month of Falguna (12 February, 1825) to a Hindu family, in Jeevapar Tankara, Kathiawad region now Morvi district of Gujarat.). He was born in Dhanu Rashi and Mula Nakshatra.
This 19th century philosopher and reformer founded the Arya Samaj, a socio-cultural organization. His ideologies also resonated with the spirit of India’s freedom struggle. Born in Gujarat to Karshanji Lalji Tiwari and his wife Yashodabai, was named Mool Shankar. Brought up in a devout, affluent family, as a boy he became proficient in Sanskrit and imbibed the wisdom of Hindu scriptures, especially the Vedas. Gradually, certain incidents that occurred during his childhood, such as the death of his younger sister, made young Shankar contemplate on the larger meaning of life. At a time when his parents felt concerned by his unconventional questions, the latter decided to leave home as part of his search for the truth.
Leading his life as an ascetic from 1845 to 1869, he visited temples, met with sages and yogis, as well as spent time in Himalayan retreats as part of his quest for the “truth”. His efforts failed to yield any result till he reached Mathura, where he came across Swami Virajanand Dandeesha and became his disciple. The holy man advised this youngster to throw away all his books and to seek knowledge directly from the Vedas. Under his guru’s guidance, he took up the study of the Vedas and strived to spread the message of these holy books among the masses. His Guru Swami Virajanand who was blind would say that Hindus were entangled in meaningless rituals and had strayed far away from true knowledge. When the time came for Mool Shankar to leave the ashram, Swami Virajanand bestowed on him the new name of Rishi (which means sage) Dayanand. The latter promised to his mentor that he would devote life to disseminate the teachings of the Vedas. Swami Dayananda Sarwasti was a ‘Sanyasi’ (ascetic) from boyhood and a scholar. He believed in the infallible authority of the Vedas. Dayananda advocated the doctrine of Karma and Reincarnation. He emphasized the Vedic ideals of Brahmacharya, including celibacy and devotion to God.
In April 1875, Dayanand established the Arya Samaj in Bombay. He believed that Hinduism had been corrupted by divergence from the founding principles of the Vedas and that Hindus had been misled by the priesthood for their self-interests and egos. For this mission, he founded the Arya Samaj , enunciating the Ten Universal Principles as a code for Universalism, called, Krinvanto Vishvam Aryam (make this world noble). This socio-cultural movement aimed to reform society by raising awareness among people about Vedic knowledge. His Vedic message emphasized respect and reverence for other human beings, supported by the Vedic notion of the divine nature of the individual. In the “ten principles of the Arya Samaj”, he enshrined the idea that “All actions should be performed with the prime objective of benefiting mankind”, as opposed to following dogmatic rituals or revering idols and symbols. The first five principles speak of Truth, while the last five speak of a society with nobility, civics, co-living, and disciplined life. In his own life, he interpreted “Moksha”, to be a lower calling, as it argued for benefits to the individual, rather than calling to emancipate others. Far from trying to for a new religion, Dayanand only aimed at re-establishing the teachings of the Vedas. Dayananda Saraswati’s creation, the Arya Samaj, condemned practices such as practices as idol worship, animal sacrifice, pilgrimages, priest craft, offerings made in temples, the castes, child marriages, meat eating and discrimination against women. He argued that all of these practices ran contrary to good sense and the wisdom of the Vedas. He severely criticized practices which he considered to be superstitions, including astrology. He said that one should study the Jyotisha Shastra as for as its mathematical side is concerned. He authored an estimated 60 books, the most important among them being Satyarth Prakash (meaning The Light of Truth), to spread knowledge among people about the principles of the Vedas and to promote qualities that he considered were truly divine. Dayanand also strongly backed the granting of equal rights for all, emphasized the need for the social uplift of women and of the underprivileged sections. He also denounced superstitions and practices such as animal sacrifice. He was given the title of Maharishi and is considered one of the prominent makers of modern India.
Painful end: – As an outspoken person, Dayanand strongly resisted social ills and outdated religious practices. In this process, he made enemies, many of whom also tried to harm him. He survived many such attempts till September 29, 1883, when his own cook, working at the behest of those inimical to the holy man, gave him a glass of poisoned milk. The Swami suffered in pain for a month before he died on October 30, 1883.
Though Swami Dayanand was not directly involved in politics, Dayanand’s teachings found a lot of resonance with India’s freedom struggle. They also influenced and inspired a large number of freedom fighters such as Ram Prasad Bismil, Subhas Chandra Bose, Bhagat Singh and Lala Lajpat Rai. Bhagat Singh was an alumnus of the Dayanand Anglo Vedic School in Lahore.
Dayanand Saraswati is recorded to have been active since he was 14, when he was able to recite religious verses and teach about them. He was respected at the time for taking part in religious debates. His debates were attended by large crowds. The deaths of his younger sister and his uncle from cholera led Dayananda to ponder the meaning of life and death. He began asking questions which worried his parents. He was engaged in his early teens, but he decided marriage was not for him and ran away from home in 1846. ( Source- Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ).
Role of Jupiter & Venus in alleviating his spiritual scholarly attainments:-
Jupiter:-
Jupiter is the ‘kendra’ lord placed in the 11th house, the house of achievements, aspecting the 5th house and the lagna and the 10th lord Mercury placed in the 5th house. Jupiter is also aspecting the 7th house and the 2nd and the 9th lord Venus placed in it. Jupiter a ‘kendra’ lord is exalted and getting linked to the lagna and the 10th lord Mercury, 7th house and the 2nd and the 9th lord Venus placed in it. It is making a very good ‘Raja-Yoga’, involving vital Kendra and the Kona lords and houses. It shows the involvement of Jupiter with lagna lord (self & soul), the 10th lord (karma-action) in the 5th house, the house of intellectual faculties, ‘mantra – sidhi’, name and fame and the 7th house which the ‘Sookhshama- Karma-Sathana’, being the 10th house from the 10th house. Jupiter is also aspecting the 2nd and the 9th lord Venus, representing his eloquent speech and extra ordinary ‘dharmic’ and spiritual tendencies, when Venus the 9th lord is exalted in the 7th house. It shows a connection of his self and his ‘Karmas’ with highest order of his intellectual potency, including his hold on ‘mantra – sidhi’, powers of ‘Gyana’, ‘the knowledge’, authorship of scriptures and above all his attaining of spiritual knowledge for its expression through his writings. Jupiter is exalted and is in exchange with Moon the 4th lord. It is an exchange between the 4th lord Jupiter and the 11th lord Moon, which is considered as very good exchange yoga. Such an exchange between two benefic planets is adding more benefic qualities to both Moon and Jupiter to deliver better. Moon is mind, when Jupiter is ‘Gyana’, religious rituals and commitment to these rituals. So his mind has regularly been involved in deep thinking, blessed with very good ‘Dharmic’ Gyana, along with its application for some notable transformation as Moon is with Rahu, forcing him to think something different about the tenets of customary definitions and practicing of ‘Dharma’. Jupiter is assisting the Moon being retrograde in this task for such a diversion in thinking towards a new concept of practicing of ‘Dharma. This is supported by the fact that Jupiter and Moon are placed in 6/8 position to each other. Thus he gave a new color to the philosophy and concept of ‘Hindu Dharma’ and its application which was a modified one, being different from its practicing parameters. This revolution in his mind gave birth to ‘Arya-Samaj’, enunciating the Ten Universal Principles as a code for Universalism, called, Krinvanto Vishwaryam.
This signifies the role of Jupiter in bestowing scholastic and spiritualistic traits to a person, if Jupiter is in a very good condition in a birth chart.
Venus:-
Venus is the 2nd and the 9th lord, representing his speech, his ‘Niyamas’, viz, commitment to a noble cause, as the 2nd lord. Venus is also the 9th lord the lord of the house of “Dharma”, ‘Dharmic’ performance, destiny, Guru, “mantra-shakti”, shastras, Vedas and Vakya Phallum, placed in the 7th house, the ‘Sookhshama- Karma-Sathana’. It is exalted having an aspect of exalted Jupiter the lord of the 7th house, its own house, viz, the lord of the ‘Sookhshama- Karma-Sathana’. Thus the role of Venus as the 2nd and the 9th lord is highly elated, when its qualities of eloquent speech and ‘Niyamas’, ‘darmic discourses’, knowledge of Vedas and Shastras, apart from its role as a spiritual Guru are receiving a big boost. Venus is exalted in ‘Kendra’ in ‘Malviya-Yoga’, one of the best yoga’s of ‘Panch-Mahapurshas-Yoga’. ‘Malvya’Yoga, apart from bestowing lot of comforts of life, it makes a person learned through one’s own efforts, resolute and well versed in sacred scriptures. Thus he was able to canvass and spread a new concept of Hindu dharma with the ‘Arya-Samaj’ principles, which has a vast diversion with the age old followed and practiced principles and rituals of ‘Hindu-Dharma’. It may not be acceptable to one and all including me as the author of this book. Venus in the 7th house resulted in no marriage for him, due the astrological dictum, ‘Karko-Bhava-Nasham’. Venus is the significator of 7th house and marriage and while being in the 7th house, the significations of the 7th house get hit and spoiled. 7th lord Jupiter is retrograde in the 11th house aspected by Saturn, thus causing affliction to the 7th lord, thus he refused to marry due to his inclinations of taking to ‘Sanyas’. Another notable point in this regard is that Venus gets exalted in Pisces sign which is the 12th house sign of the ‘Kaal-Pursha’ Kundali, which is the sign of ‘Moksha’. Thus Venus under such conditions made him not to marry. It added more credence to his spiritual and dharmic pursuits, when he was always of the opinion that practice Yoga and observance of Celibacy bring one closer to spiritual enlightenment, which he practiced to become a ‘Maha-Yogi’, to be known all over India and abroad.
This signifies the role of Venus in bestowing scholastic and spiritualistic traits to a person, if Venus is in a very good condition in a birth chart.
Birth Chart
As per this birth chart, lagna lord Mercury is in the 5th house. Mercury is the 10th lord as well. The 5th house is one of the most important houses in a birth chart. This house indicates the ‘Poorya- Puniyas’, good or bad results of past births. If the 5th house is linked to the lagna, the lagna lord, balance dasha period or the antar dasha of lagna lord or Moon, or the dispositor of Moon, it shows that the person has a link with the ‘Poorva-Janma’, the past life. In the present case the lagan lord is linked to the 5th house being in the 5th house. The balance dasha at birth was Ketu/Venus/Ketu.
Ketu’s dispositor is Mercury which is the lagna lord in the 5th house. Antar dasha lord Venus is linked to the lagna, being in the 7th house aspecting the lagna. The p.antar dasha lord is Ketu and its dispositor is Mercury which is the lagna lord. Ketu is aspecting Moon, when the dispositor of Moon, which is Jupiter is aspecting the 5th house and the lagan lord Mercury placed in it. Thus the dasha at birth is fully linked to the lagan lord and lagna, Moon and its dispositor Jupiter. It shows his connection of the past ‘Janama’ with this ‘Janama’. It indicates the continuation of the previous ‘Janamas’ ‘Karmas’, with this ‘Janama’ life and thus to perform better to accomplish his left over cherished goals of his past ‘Karmas; in this ‘Janama’ (birth), with divine blessings. Lagna lord in the 5th house indicates that a person is born lucky.
Mercury is the 10th lord as well and gets placed in the 5th house. It means that the lord of ‘Karmas’ ( Karmadipati), goes to ‘Purva-Punya’ bhava, showing that such a person’s ‘Karmas’ have a link with the past life or ‘Karmas’, which are known as ‘Punyas’. It indicates that such a person is a pious soul. One will be having Godly pursuits, with ‘Mantra – Shakti’ and ‘Vaak-Sidhi’. A person will be a ‘Dharmic’ leader with many followers. That was the case with Swami Dayananda Saraswati who became a social leader and founder of the Arya Samaj, which stands as a reformist movement of the Vedic dharma, with enough of followers. This gets further strengthening by the fact that Mercury is the lagna lord too.
The placement of Mercury in the 5th house gives a person extraordinary intelligence and a sharp grasp of knowledge of sorts. It makes a person an advisor. It accords a person “Mantra-Sidhi” and “Vaakh-Sidhi”. 5th house being the house of ‘Mantras’ and ‘Mantra Sidhii’s’, it shows that when the lagna lord is in the 5th house, such a person has ‘Mantra-Updesha’ and ‘Mantra-Sidhi’s. Such a person will have lot of knowledge, coupled with mystic knowledge too. A person will have a Guru, who will guide him in the shadowed path of life and get him towards enlightenment. Lagan lord in the 5th house indicates that a person will attract others with his knowledge, and will become torch bearer ( Messiah) for others, in the matters of spreading of cultural awakening linked to religious and spiritual facets of life. This was the case with Swami Dayanand Swraswati, who by his personal hard work was enough knowledgeable about religious scripts. As already mentioned above, he had a Guru (religious teacher) named Virajanand Dandeesha. Virajanand believed that Hinduism had strayed from its historical roots and that many of its practices had become impure. Dayananda Sarasvati promised Swami Virajanand that he would devote his life to restoring the rightful place of the Vedas in the Hindu faith. With the blessings of his religious Guru he spread the concept of ‘Sanatan-Dharma’ with dedication and devotion.
Spirituality and Sidhi:- 5th house shows one’s belief towards his dharma and religion. Good benefic influence on the 5th house shows an advanced soul towards spirituality. In this case Jupiter which is exalted in the 11th house is aspecting the 5th house and the lagna lord placed in it. Jupiter a Kendra lord, getting connected with the 5th house along with the lagna lord Mercury, made him a ‘Sidh-Purush of philosophical tendencies and bestowed him with spiritual leanings and attainments, making him a great seer, a preceptor and a preacher of a new concept of religious teachings, through ‘ Arya- Samaj’. Jupiter’s role here in this birth chart, made him to attain his objectives in life fully with very little material desires in his life. Exalted Jupiter here is a ‘Kendra’ lord getting connected to a ‘Kona’ house is in itself a ‘Rajya’Yoga’, thus making him a renowned and a person of great fame and name. Being retrograde it gave him very little attachments towards material life, which made him very much a ‘Sanyasi’ (ascetic) from boyhood and a scholar.
5th lord Saturn is in the 9th house. 9th house is the 5th house from the 5th house. 9th house is the house of ‘Bhagya’ destiny. It connects the ‘Purva-Puniya’ last births actions to one’s ‘Bhagya’ the destiny. 5th lord in the 9th house indicates that a person has not to exert much to attain his or her cherished or aspired goals in this life. It indicates that a person is a pious soul, blessed with knowledge and a good fortune. One is born to perform pious and sacred deeds and spread religious teachings. If one’s 5th house is powerful and bestowed with benefic planets then with the placement of the 5th lord in the 9th house will fortify and strength his ‘Mantra-Sidhi’, his spiritual potentials and above all will be knowledgeable in Vedic scriptures and spiritually very potent.
Role of 9th house:-
Venus is the 9th lord the lord of the house of “Dharma”, ‘Dharmic performances’, destiny, Guru, “mantra-shakti”, shastras, Vedas and Vakya Phallam, placed in the 7th house, the ‘Sookhshama- Karma-Sathana’. It is exalted having an aspect of exalted Jupiter the lord of the 7th house, its own house, viz, the lord of the ‘Sookhshama- Karma-Sathana’. Exalted Jupiter is the lord of the 4th house too, thus a prominent ‘Kendra’ lord. Exalted Jupiter’s aspect on Venus the 9th lord is generating a link between the Kendra and Kona lords. It is creating a very good ‘Rajya-Yoga’. It makes the role of Venus as the 9th lord highly elated, when its qualities of ‘dharmic’ discourses, knowledge of Vedas and Shastras, apart from its role as a spiritual Guru are receiving a big boost. It further strengths his spiritual potentials and above all his knowledge of Vedic scriptures and spiritually very potent. Venus is exalted in ‘Kendra’ in ‘Malviya-Yoga’, one of the best yoga’s of ‘Panch-Mahapursha-Yoga’. ‘Malviya’Yoga, apart from bestowing lot of comforts of life, it makes a person learned through one’s own efforts, resolute and well versed in sacred scriptures. Thus he was able to canvass and spread a new concept of Hindu dharma with the ‘Arya-Samaj’ principles, which has a vast diversion with the age old followed and practiced principles and rituals of ‘Hindu-Dharma’.
Making the 9th house as the lagna, it is seen that this house in this birth chart is very powerful and strong. The lagna lord Venus is in the 11th house and is exalted, aspected by exalted 11th lord Jupiter from the 3rd house. Mercury the 2nd and the 5th lord, showing his eloquent speech and ‘Mantri-Sidhi’ coupled with highest order of intelligence is in the 9th house, the house of ‘Dharmic-performance’ and spiritual arousing. Mercury the planet of speech and intelligence is further strengthened with the aspect of the exalted Jupiter from the 3rd house. Mercury is the most benefic planet for this lagna. The 10th lord Saturn is in lagna aspecting the 10th house its own house. Saturn is a ‘Yoga-Karka’ planet for this lagna, so one of the best planets for this lagna. 10th lord making a connection with lagna or vice-versa shows that while a person is a very good performer while being a good achiever too. Saturn is in ‘Pushkara’ Navamsha.
So the 9th house of this birth chart being very strong in almost all respects of its potential and relevant significations made him to know and understand Vedas as a highest spiritual wisdom. Such a situation of his 9th house aroused his inner spiritual strength, along with his yogic and intellectual skills, when he became the profounder of the concept of “Arya-Samaj’’. “This made Swami Dayananda Saraswati a philosopher, social leader and founder of the Arya Samaj, which stands as a reformist movement of the Vedic dharma. He believed that Hinduism had been corrupted by divergence from the founding principles of the Vedas and that Hindus had been misled by the priesthood for their self-interests and egos. For this mission, he founded the Arya Samaj , enunciating the Ten Universal Principles as a code for Universalism, called, Krinvanto Vishwaryam. Exalted Venus as the 2nd lord gave him eloquent speech, with a forceful power of verbose and commitment to strongest ‘Niyamas’, the house of ethical conduct, which made him to spread his concept of ‘Hindu-Dharma’, as ‘Arya-Samaj’ movement , which stands as reformist movement of the Vedic Dharma.
His Detachment and Vairgya.
The death of his younger sister from cholera led Dayananda to ponder over the meaning of life and death. He began asking questions which worried his parents. He was engaged in his early teens, but he decided marriage was not for him and ran away from home in 1846. Dayananda Saraswati spent nearly twenty-five years, from 1845 to 1869, as a wandering ascetic, searching for religious truth. He gave up material goods and lived a life of self-denial, devoting himself to spiritual pursuits in forests and various pilgrimage sites in northern India.
4th house is in Rahu/Ketu axis, when the 4th lord Jupiter is in the 11th house, thus getting placed in the 8th house from its place. Jupiter has the aspect of Saturn a seperative planet from the 9th house, when Saturn is the 6th lord as well. 4th house and 4th lord are both afflicted showing his detachment from his home as also his home comforts. Moon placed in the 4th house representing his mind is also afflicted showing sad lineages towards his home, leading to his abandoning the material comforts, as Moon is the 11th lord representing material gains and prospectus. The 11th lord is in the 4th house means going to the 6th place from the 11th house, thus causing hurdles in the significations of the 4th house, which in this case means hurdles to his domestic comforts, showing detachment from his home. Such a situation affects the longevity of a person too. He lived up to the age of 59 years only. Moon represents his mother too, being afflicted shows his being away from mother as well.
3rd lord Mars in the 6th house with the 12th lord Sun aspected by Saturn the 6th lord, is the cause of the shocking death of his younger sister, which made him to ponder over the real purpose of life , when he was pushed to a situation of ‘Vairgya’, making a way in his life out of this tragedy. Saturn apart from being the 6th lord is also the 5th lord involving mental emotions and the sensitivity of intellect. He would always live in a separate place, practicing yoga and its other essentials like Pranyama, etc.
When seen from Moon this situation in the 6th house is getting repeated involving. 3rd lord Saturn is in the 6th house is aspected by Mars the 12th lord resulting in the shocking death of his younger sister at a very young age of 14 years. The combination of Mars the 5th lord and Sun the 9th lord in the 3rd house having an aspect of Saturn from the 6th house, when Saturn is the 3rd lord, shows his inherent revolt against the real concept of ‘Dharmic’ principles to be followed after one takes a birth, with the object of ultimate death thereafter, with nuanced approach and reasoning without the ritualistic dogmas prescribed by ignorant Pundits.
A strong 6th house, which is the 5th house from the 2nd house, having Sun and Mars in it with the aspect of Saturn, depicts his way of life. His preaching’s and revolutionary religious utterances would often provoke his adversaries in this regard to ridicule and hate his new philosophies about ‘Dharma’. It is said that hooligans would chase him in his campaigns of the spreading of the concept of ‘Arya-Samaj’, when he would calm down his adversaries with his roaring replies and rebuttals.
Essence of Navamsha:-
The rising navamsha lagna is Capricorn which is the 5th house sign of the main birth chart. It shows a continuity of the ‘Poorya- Puniyas’ to the lagna of navamsha, when the lagna sign of the main birth chart is the 9th house sign of the navamsha chart, confirming his ‘dharmic’ devotion and Vedic knowledge pursuits through the navamsha chart as well. Lagan lord Saturn is well placed in the 3rd house, aspecting the 5th house, the 9th house and the 5th and the 10th lord Venus which is in the 12th house. Saturn has the aspect of Jupiter too from the 11th house. It shows a complete link of the lagna lord Saturn with the 5th house, its lord, 9th house and the 10th lord Venus, thus the continuity of the link of the lagna lord, the self, with the 5th house and the 5th lord, ‘Mantri-Sidhi’, Poorva-Puniya’, the 9th house, “Dharma”, ‘Dharmic actions’, destiny, Guru, “mantra-shakti”, shastras, Vedas and Vakya Phallam, and the 10th lord his ‘karmic’ actions, , as is mostly present in the main birth chart. Navamsha confirms the strength of his ‘Mantra-Sidhi’, his spiritual potentials and above all he being quite knowledgeable in Vedic scriptures and spiritually very potent. Navamsha confirms he being a ‘Sidh-Purush of philosophical tendencies and bestowed with spiritual leanings and attainments, thus making him a great seer, a preceptor and a preacher of a new concept of religious teachings, Saturn is in ‘Pushkara’ Navamsha, thus a very good planet to perform better.
Venus as the 5th lord is in the 12th house with Ketu. It shows his ‘Mokhsha’ and thus a last Janama and very good spiritual arousing. Venus as the 10th lord in the 12th house, with the aspect of Saturn the lagna lord from the 3rd house and Mars the 4th and the 11th lord and in Rahu/Ketu axis, from the 6th house, shows his ‘Karmas’ are associated with the renouncing of the pleasures of life. This confirms his detachment and Vairagya. Moon the 7th lord in the 4th house aspected by Sun the debilitated 8th lord from the 10th house, shows his detachment from his home and the state of his being not married, thus living a life of a celibacy.
He took Samadhi on 30th October-1883, through an attempt of assassination on him:-
Swami Dayanand Swraswati, took Samadhi on 30th Octiber-1883 on the night of Diwali at Ajmer. As per Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, in 1883, the Maharaja of Jodhpur, Jaswant Singh II, invited Dayananda to stay at his palace. The Maharaja was eager to become Dayananda’s disciple, and to learn his teachings. During his stay, Dayananda went to the Maharaja’s rest room and saw him with a dancing girl named “Nanhi Jaan”. Dayananda asked the Maharaja to forsake the girl and all unethical acts, and to follow the dharma like a true Arya (noble). Dayananda’s suggestion offended “Nanhi”, who decided to take revenge. On 29 September 1883, she bribed Dayananda’s cook, Jagannath, to mix small pieces of glass in his nightly milk. Dayananda was served glass-laden milk before bed, which he promptly drank, becoming bedridden for several days, and suffering excruciating pain. The Maharaja quickly arranged doctor’s services for him. However, by the time doctors arrived, his condition had worsened, and he had developed large, bleeding sores. Upon seeing Dayananda’s suffering, Jagannath was overwhelmed with guilt and confessed his crime to Dayananda. On his death bed, Dayananda forgave him, and gave him a bag of money, telling him to flee the kingdom before he was found and executed by the Maharaja’s men. Later, Maharaja arranged for Swami Dayananda, to be sent to Mount Abu as per the advice of Residency. However, after staying for some time in Abu, on 26 October 1883, he was sent to Ajmer for better medical care. There was no improvement in his health and he died on the morning of Hindu festival of Divali on 30 October 1883 chanting mantras.
The dasha was Rahu/Mercury/Saturn. The dispositor of Rahu is Jupiter which is the 7th lord, thus a ‘Marka’. It has the aspect of Saturn the 6th lord, when Saturn is the dispositor of the 8th and the 12th lords Mars and Sun. It shows initiation for his death through a conspiracy through an enemy as Saturn as the 6th lord is involved. It is coupled with a conspiracy as the 8th lord Mars gets involved in the 6th house through the dispositor of Mars which is Saturn, resulting in his deep hospitalization and death as Sun the 12th lord is involved, through its dispsoitor Saturn the 6th lord. Mercury as the antar dasha lord is the 10th lord, showing an end of ‘Karmas’ in this life, when the dispositor of Mercury is Ketu showing poisoning, when Ketu is in the Nakshatra of Rahu. Mercury is in the Nakhshatra of Sun the 12th lord, thus competent to cause death. The role of Saturn as p.antar dasha lord is clear, when its role in his death as a conspiracy of poisoning has already been described above.
As per Moon chart, Rahu is in lagna with the 8th lord Moon, when the dispositor of Rahu Jupiter is in the 8th house, aspected by Saturn from the 6th house. Rahu is competent to cause death. Mercury is the 7th lord a ‘Marka’ in the 2nd house which is another ‘Marka’ place. Mercury is the dispositor of Ketu which is in the 7th house confirming the tale of poisoning. Saturn is the 2nd lord in the 6th house, viz, a ‘Marka’ in the house of enemies and diseases, responsible for his death as an enemy by initiating to cause a serious injury to his health which ended in his ultimate demise.
