Jupiter, Venus or Mercury in the Lagna or Kendras,
except the 7th will produce beneficial results from the
marriage.
The last 5 days of the month, Rikthathithies, Newmonday, Ashtami, Shasti, Vyatipatha and Vydruti
should be left out. The 7th house from the marriage
Lagna should be without any planets. Venus must not

mind. People should not run away with the idea that
having secured these good conjunctions, they will at
once achieve all favourable results and avoid all influences. The successes and failures of men or not so easy to
be explained or guided. They are brought about by very
cornpticatod energies working in many directions, and
Astrology, like hygiene, throws a flood of good light
upon minimising the evil and augmenting the good. This
requires some explanations which should convince our
numerous readers. Say a man is born in Baharani and
Chandra is in Rohini. Chandra in this star gets exaltation and is said to attain the highest power to do good
If so how could he do evil for a person born in Bharani.
Rohini becomes Vipat Tara and work is prohibited in
this. The position of a planet has a good deal to do
with its influence and usefulness. Say you want to read
in the night and get a powerful light' when the light is
good you can read well and serve your interests. But
suppose the light is placed behind your back or by your
side, could you do your work? No, why, because though
the light is powerful, the position you have taken or it
has taken with reference to you is unfavourable, and
the object to be gained will be frustrated. By unfavouble positions, the value is lost and dangers may arise
by evil positions.
XII-Panchaka or Five-Source-Energy
There are several methods by which this source of
~ood and bad time is prescribed. I shall here state briefly
the most familiar and the

reference and guidance. Take the number of lunar days
from the first of each lunar month" the number of week
days from Sunday, the number of constellations from
Aswini and the number ef signs ar Lagnas from the

XIII-Kshowra or Shaving
People seem to laugh at the idea, when astrologers
tell them, that they should have this operation on particular days and at particular times. The science of
electricity (Vidyutsakti) was so perfectly known to the
ancients that with a view to concentrate and conserve
all good energies in man, and to dessipate and get rid of
all evil forces in the human body, they have laid down
certain rules, which, when studied by themselves, look
quite arbitrary and meaningless, but which, when carefully examined in the light of conservation-of-energyprinciple-look most wonderful and striking with regard
to the knowledge the ancient Rishis possessed in physical

thus explains the principles of electricity in his

yidyutsakti Prakarana or the treatise on the exhibition
of electric; currents in the human body. He observes in
the sutras thus-" Akshi (eyes), Vakshasi (chest) Kukshuocha (stomach) or belly, Siro (head) Madvavthatha
Hridi (heart) Hastashu (hands) Upatsu (feminine organ)
Nabhoucha (navel) Medra (male organ) Adho Bhaga
Nalayaha [lower intestines or canals] Buddhisthanay
[seat of intelligencej Brahma Danday [the seat of the
kala or ray of Bhrama] Pranakosav [the seat of life]
Prakasatay [shines or illuminates] Hence cutting off
hair from the head, means so much loss of vitality to the
body and such times should be selected as would minimise or neutralise the flow of electric currents from
those sources. The injunctions are for men, who wish to
have, or who possesses abundance of electricity. The
police warn the people as guardians of the property to be
careful and shut all sources of danger from which thieves
might enter their houses and take away their property.
But in the case of veritable beggers or mendicants, who
have no property to lose, the advise of fhe police looks
quite absurd and they many even call the police fools for
giving such' warning. But their advice is sound and
necessary in the case of rich men. Similarly sciences
also will have to be interpreted in their proper spheres. ..
Shaving operations and cutting or paring the nails etc.
should always be conducted when the subtle influences
exercised by the lunar days, constellations, planetatary
conjunctions etc. are such as would not act prejudically
against the conversation of the godly or spiritual energy
in man or in other words when the Satwa Guna (vital
energy) is not likely to suffer from these operations, or
when the chances of its outflow are minimised. Hence
good days must be fixed for such acts. Shaving may be
had in the following constellations-(1) Pushyami, (2)
Punarvasu, (3) Ravati, (4) Hasta, (5) Sravana, (6) .

to mend. Although the causes may be many and mysterious, the facts are t90 frequent and patent that they
attract considerable attention and dis?ussions after tJ1e
happening of serious evils. Many people who begin to
build new houses either die before they are completed
or lose their appointments or avocations, or suffer
important deaths in their families which make them
miserable all through the rest of their lives. So also
happens in the cases of many families, who enter into
new or ready-made houses as tenants or mortgagees
with possession, Some houses get the unenviable title
of "haunted houses" and for a number of years or generations, they do a world of mischief both to the owners
who build them and to the families who happen to
occupy them as tenants. There must be surely be some'
'causes or reasons for all these misfortunes. In some
houses the occupants whoever they may be, rapidly rise
position and prosperity and go away to better places
while in some other houses, the occupants, as rapidly,
lose their fortunes and vacate them after being entirely
wrecked in life or finances. It becomes therefore extremely' important to consult the nature and influences
'of the houses before they should be built or entered.
The laying in of the foundation is an important function
and ought to be per!ormed when the stellar zodiacal
lunar and planetary conjunctions are favourable and
are in a mood of to give success and prosperity to either
the builders of those houses or to their occupants. Hence
it is that some houses fetch fabulous rents and prices
bocause they have a good reputation, while many houses
-though excellently built and much better in affording
accomodation fetch no rents or prices because they
have a bad name or because they are considered to be
haunted. Brief directions, therefore, will be given here
for the benefit of the readers on this important question

XVII-Krishikarma or Agriculture
In the world there can be nothing more important
'or valuable than successful agriculture. Even the greatest
manufacturing country are entirely dependant on agricultural produce for their existence. The proudest
monarch and the humblest subject want food and the
story of Midas proves to the world the moral related
there by the author. All may turn into gold and even
precious gems, but we must have food and this cannot be
had without agricultural operations. The Sun's rays
falling on watery surfaces convert water into vapour,
vapour is condensed by means of cold blasts of wind
23
and falls down as rain, rain sustains vegitation and animals and they nourish man ..
The functions of the solar rays, is very complicated
and very mysterious. Without it nothing can grow and
nothing can assist even for a second. Will it not be
therefore 'Our sacred and responsible duty to find out
from the Agricultural Astrology which days, times, stars
and conjunctions of planets are the best for agriculture
arid when we may hope for a bumber crop. Times have
always their indisputable influences and when these are
not carefully noted sqricultural, prospects will turn out
to be a complete failure and the world will come to a
standstill for want of food. In Muhurtha Marthanda,
the author Narayana, gives great details about the
manner in which the proprietor of a land should begin
hia ploughing, This work was composed in 1493 Salivahana Saka or in 1750 A.D. It is one of the most
learned works on Muhurtha and the author who was a
highly learned Brahmin, has made his own commentaries, thereby showing clearly what he means exactly
in 'each sentence.
Refer to Misraprakarna or Miscellaneous Chapter, verses, 5 to 7. I shall summarise his
views for the benefit of our readers.
For commencing ploughing operation the constellations, Raivati, Hasta, Makha, Rohini, Uttara, Ootharashada, Ootharabhadra, Mrigasira, Swati, Shravana,
Dhanista,
Satabhisha,
Punarvasu, Visakha, Jaista,
Aswini, Pushyami, Chitta and Abhijit are recommended.
Saturday, Wednesday and Tuesday are not good. The
Zodiacal signs of Meena, Vrishabha, Mithuna and Kanya
are favourable. The lunar days of Amave.sya, 14th and
8th days of the dark half of the lunar month and Navami
or the 9the day should be avoided. After a bath in the
24
Whatever our lamentations may be, we are surrounded everywhere by diseaes some of which are horrible
in nature and produce great and everenciating pains.
Man courts diseases and ill-health by crossing the
principles of Natur-e, by excessive indulgences. The
25
wise men may loudly cry, but human beings are persistent in Courting all sorts of diseases. These diseases
are also the results of breeking natural principles and
doing things where they ought not to do them. Time,
place and circumstances have great influences and a
prudent man pays attention to all these and adjusts his
actions so well that he hardly suffers any pains at all.
But prudent and sensible men are fe"" and far between,
and the overwhelming majority are constantly falling
victims to the free play of, their passions. For preparing
and administering medicines Sunday. Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday are good. Saturday and
Tuesday are unfavourable. The Stars Anuradha, Mrigasira, Baivati, Rohini. Chitta, Oottara, Oottarashadha and
Ootarabhadhra, Sravana, Dhanishta, Satabhisha, Punarswasu, Swati, Aswini, Hasta and Abhijit are benificial.
Amrityoga is good. Benefics should be in Kendras sixth,
eighth and the twelth and the Lagna.
For surgical operation and bleeding, the following
are recommended in addition to what has already been
stated. Lagnas on Saturday, Sunday and Tuesday when
the planets Sani, Surya and Kuja are in- Kendras are
favourable for surgical purposes. Some authors recom
mend us planets specially evil ones in the sixth and
eighth but others say quite the contrary. It is extremely
difficult to say which is correct and which is wrong. I
humbly venture to suggest that sixth denoting disease
and eighth indicating danger and death would certainly
be better without evil planets.

~nerallY psychological results follow from physiological conditions. It would be absurd to think that
sexually, any man may be matched agreeably to any
woman. No greater mistake than this could be cornmitted by parents or guardians who are mostly responsible for the marriages of their daug.hters and sons and
the evil results which follow by an ill selected match.
Neither do the sexual organs in male or female bear any
definite proportion to the bulk, strength or height of the
persons concerned. A tallman or woman will have a
small organ while a short individual may possess a big
sexual orqan, quite disproportionate to his body or bulk.
This is beautifully illustrated by nature in its creation.
and one has only to watch the disproportions in the
sexual organs among the various kinds of animals, compared with their height and bulk. To solve this difficulty
to present false etiquette of social life offers really very
great obstacles in marriage selections with theconsequence, that many of the marriages proves most miserable
and the want of sexual adaptablitv leads to bad and
"licentious lives.
Take an examplev. A marriage is
arranged between a girl and a boy, without reference to
the dimensions of their sexes. When the nuptials are
about to be consummated the disproportion of sexual
union and with this at the bottom, as a strong and
irremidiable basis, they are not united in body and much
less could they ever hope to be united in her mind. The
marriage proves consequently a. thorough failure. They
hate each other and the result is that one or the other
.or both seek the company of others, with whom they
find better sexual gratification. The appalling number
of divorces' among the European nations are directly

XXVI. Varnakuta-e-varna, in
sanskrit means
color and the junction here of two Rasis, or signs is
considered in the light of its purity and the results it is
likely to produce. Meena, Vrischika and Kataka present
36
purity of color and are called Brahmin Rasis. Varnashrama Dharmas is familiar to us, Brahma Karma and
the Dharrnas or principles of conduct organised on
Brahmins by the Vedas will give them Brahma Thejas or
bright. Kshatreyas have to lay down the-ir lives in the
defence of justice. Vaisyas should trade on equitable
principals and Sudras should have agriculture.
Simha, Dhanas, and Thula are denoted as controlling
the Kshatreyas.
Mesha; Mithuna and Kumbha represent Vaisyas,
land Vrishabha, Kanya and Makara indicates Sudras.
A girl born in higher caste ought never to be married to
.a boy born in a lower class and if out of love and personal greed or cupidity such a marriage is celebrated the
husband dies very early. Take an example. If a boy
\ is born in Jaista his Rasi necessarily will be Scorpio or
. Vrischika. This represents Brahmin caste. Say a girl
is born in Makha. this constitutes Simha Rasi and it
represents Kshatrias. The marriage is allowable. But
suppose the girl is born in Raivathi (Maena Rasi) and
she marries a boy born in Rohini (Vrishabha) it is
condemned because the boy belongs to the Sudra Class
and the girl belongs to the Brahmin.

XXVIII. Graha Maitram-The moon in a horoscope shows the mind of the person, and he is determind
by the constellation which rules a person at the time of
his birth. The lord of the house where the Moon' is
located at the time of the birth of a boy must be a
declared friend of the planet, who owns the house
occupied by the Moon in the girl's horscope. If those
two lords are indifferent, the couple wi II be similarly
situated in their mental attitude towards each other
and if they happen to be enemies the husband and wife
also be enemies. This, Kuta, seems to thoroughly examine
the mental conditions which are to be,brought in contact
with each other by the sacred bonds of marriage, and in
the union of the physical and the intellectual parts of
man and woman. A few illustrations are given to
explain these facts.
On p. 7 & 8 of the Astrological

etc. is fully given, to which I would refer the readers
for full information on this subject. Take an example.

Pubba. The Moon therefore in, the boy's horoscope falls
in Cancer (Kataka) and its owner is Moon himself, while

trouble or disturbance and it may have also some other
peculiar signifcance. The eighteenth constellatation from
Aswini, Makha and Moola, the sixteenth star from Bharan i, Pubba and Poorvashadha; the 14th costellation
from Kithika, Oottara, and Oottarashadha. and the 12th
from Rohini, Hasta, and Sravana must be considered as
. those which are within the influence of Vedha Kuta.
Dhanista Mrigasira and Chitta form Vedhas to each other.
If marriages are performed when this evil influence prevails, the husband soon embraces.
Friendship arid
enmity are not always. traceable to actual facts of
relationship. A father may be uniformly loving his son
but the latter may as uniformly be hating his father.
A may be doing harm to B, but both may be on friendly
terms if personal magnetic currents are attractive and
cohesive A may doing good to B, and still both may
be enemies. Planets at birth indicate who will be our
friends and who will be enemies. Dasas and Vidasas
exercise great magnetic infl uences in their respective
periods and may become attractive or repulsive.
Marriage can never end in peace and prosperity when the
couple are enemies and repel each other. And if they
are compelled to live together under leagal or social or
religious restraints their lives Will be miserable, unsympathetic and undesirable. Those who are concerned in
arranging marriages should spare no paints to make them
as harmonious and as agreeable as sciences could help

General Principles
I have taken my readers roughly and hastily over
the most important branch of knowledge-Muhurtha
(influence of time) in astrology.. First we have to ascertain the existence and intensity of evi Is. Next we must
try and find out their duration and correlation with
karmaic results. We have to find afterwards how best
. they could be used or averted.

Thus on Monday Morning at sunrise for one hour
afterwards (2~) ghatikas) the moon governs, then Saturn
Jupiter, Mars, etc., in the same regular order V\:'ithout
the slightest deviation or break in time.
Carefully remembering this, suppose an urgent order
to start for a place is given on Sunday (Amavasya or
new moon day) at about 100' clock in the morning.
Suppose also the constellation of the day is Bharani a
prohibited one for journeys, etc. By referring to "the
list above given it is seen that Moon governs that day
the hour from 9 to 10 a.m. The next hour, i.e. from 10
to 11 a.m. is governed by Saturn a malicious planet.
The man can conveniently wait till it is passed 11
o' clock and then start on his work during the hour
governed by Jupiter. who greatly minimises the evils
which are otherwise indicated by lunar and stellar influences. Besides after 11 -40, we begin to have the Abhijit
Lagna and it is good for commencing all sorts of work.
Take a practical example. Say a man is transferred from a
healthy to an unhealthy place by government and they
insist upon his going at once or the choice of a dismissal
for disobedience, In this struggle for existence, he
must go. Suppose that the government would send him
to jail if he disobeyed the orders. What could he do?
The doctor says it is unhealthy and the man may get
malaria and die from its effects or his fami Iy members may
suffer. But he dare not disobey. As a wise or prudent
man, he will consult the best medical authorities introduce
changes in his diet. and dress, and try to minimise the
chances of malarial attacks as far as possible on himself
and his family. If we get a wicked horse and we are
compelled, by circumstances, to ride it, prudence
dictates that we must take
all precautions
to
minimise the chances of fall from that animal, and

ingredients as are likely to neutralise the evil effects of
those disecse-breeding germs? There is no stupidity
here, no superstition and no disobeying the duty in
adopting these devices. The majority of ordinary lives
are not under strict military orders, where the work of
the commander, must be instantaneously obeyed and
where a few hours are not allotted to begin their work.
Even under the most urgent military orders there will
be some hour or at least some minutes allowed for
preparation and also to select the best hour or the best
minute for marching on their errands. All day is not
bad even when it happens to be an Amavasya. As the
solar heat is never stationary but ever changing with the
movement of the Sun in his revolutions through space,
so also are the, evil and good movements changing their
turns to curse and to bless the people who under take
their work under their invisible but certain influences.
Guna Bahulyam and Doshawalpam or the mottos of the
Sanskrit astrological writers, and these two expressions
mean that in the Lagnas we fix for all good work let evil
influences be as few as possible, and good influences as
many and powerful as we can arrange to have.
As the marital state affects all persons throughout
their entire lives, it would not be surely waste of time,
if I gave here some more combinations which would
negative the evils arising from bad days, times, planets
and constellations selected for marriage purposes.
(1) If Venus occupies Kendras he is said to be
powerful enough to counteract five thousand evil
influences.
(2) If Mercury occupies Kendras he will be able to
counteract five hundred evil influences, and if Jupiter

(7) Planets have peculiar rays in the creation, protection and destruction of terrestrial phenomena; and
where they are in imicably placed by ignorance, or
stupidity in any houses, they introduce their injurious
results in no unmistakable manner and make the parties
concerned suffer from their evil influences. If the Sun
occupies the marriage Lagna, he will make the girl
a widow. If Moon occupies the rising sign he will kill
the girl herself with great affection. If Mars occupies
it, he will destroy both the husband and the wife. If
Mercury occupies it he gives wealth.
If Jupiter or
Venus combines in it, he gives longevity to the couple
and makes them happy and contented. If Saturn joins
the Lagna he makes the couple poor and miserable. If

for their marriage is also Jaist8 then we shall have six
Jaistas which are quiet objectionable.
Some astrological writers say that in the marriage
work if a shadowy planet like Rahu or kethu occupies
the 7th. there is no harm. But concensus of real opinion
in astrology clearly shows that their should be nobody
in the 7th house and that if it is kept clean the marrying
couple would gain immensely by such combinations in
averting evil and courting good. There are certain girls
who indicate by their birth constellations ruin beforehand either to the husband himself or to his mother or
father or elder or younger brother,
A girl born under the influence of Moola at birth
will surely cause destruction to her father-in-law. i.e.,
the father of her husband. A bride born under the star
Alasha causes destruction to her mother-in-law, an
event now-a-days so much liked by the liberty loving
daughters-in-law. A girl born in .Jaista, will destroy
her husband's elder brother. and one who is born under
the star Visakha, will cause ruin to her husband's younger brother. But there are some exceptions taken to
these. If the girl is born within the first 3 Quarters of
Visakha she is not objectionable. If the girl is governed
by the last quarter of Moola, she becomes acceptable so
also any girl who is born in the 2nd padam of Aslasha.
The last quarters of Aslasha and Visakha are condemned.
A few suggestions offered here, as the result of my
deep knowledge in and practical experience of Astrology
may be found to be invaluable to many beginners in
Astrological Sciences.
(1) Whenev'er a girl is proposed for a marriage, get
. her also called time of birth, and any copy of the heros-

(6) In the begining of your literery attempts in the
astrological field do not be over confident or hasty in
having properly understood the principles explained
here. Refer your knowledge to some gentlemen who
have much experience in these matters, and whose opinions you ought to value, and compare with your
inferences and personal experiences.
(7) When you want to have a particular couple to
marry each other for various worldly advantage, and
you find that there are 'many evils indicated in the
horoscopes which stand in the way of the consumation
of their marriages, the best suggestion I can give you,
wil i be to seek the advice of the best astrologer you can
get, who is thoroughly familiar with this division of
astrology called the Muhurtha. and to get him to fix the
best Lagna for marriage, he is capable of. You spend
l1undreds and thousands of rupees on marriage panda Is;
1ei:jsts, music, jewels and clothes, but all these will
intensify your miseries when the match turns out untorrunate or disagreeable or runs but a short terrestrial
course. Therefore it is in the begininning that you have
to do your best, to get the most auspicious Lagna you
can for celebrating the marriage to spend as much as is
reasonable to prevent misfortunes, rather than try to
cure them, when they really happen to you. Special
santhies or remedies should be undertaken to give them
good magnetic currents.

An incident occured in my 5th year which has influenced all my life to a remarkable extent. My first
Aksharabhyasa or education, began at Parlakimidi in my
fifth year, and I slept that night with my father. I dreamt
that I was taken to Suryaloka or the solar globe to the
presence of the sun, made to sit on his lap, and given
some Payasam, (wheat preparation) by his wife Chayadevi
and after a great deal of love, the sun putting his hands
on my head, observed that I would live long, be happy
and become a great scholar and author. I awoke and
related my dream to my father, who had already anticipated some ideas of my future greatness by consult' no
astrologers. In my boyish days I was extremely intelligent
and possed an excellant memory coupled with a piercing
intellect. But as it often happens with intelligent boys,
I was irregular in attendance at school. careless of my
studies, fond of running and other athletic exercises, and
was mischievous to a remarkable extent. All the while
I felt I would become a great man, and even challenged
my teachers with this idea. While I was in the Senior
B.A. class in the Central College at Bangalore,
