BPHS Ch.35 — Akriti Yogas Continued: 4-Sign Weapon Yogas (Yupa/Sara/Shakti/Danda)

Verse: "Sarashturya chaturbhagaye hi, Saktirmada chaturbhastaye hi, Dandu Madhyat chaturbhagaye hi, Upo Lagnat chaturbhastaye hi"

Pattern: All 7 planets within 4 consecutive houses starting from a Kendra (the span of two quadrants)

The 4 yogas correspond to 4 starting points (Kendra):

PVNR teaching on each:

Sara yoga (4th start): 4th house = direction in life. Like an archer, the person knows exactly what to hit. Not panic; not force — precision. "The person has good aim. He knows what he is hitting. He tries to hit the bullseye."

Shakti yoga (7th start): 7th house = desire + interactions with people. Medium-range weapon — not purely focused like an arrow, not purely close-combat like a staff. "People with Shakti yoga are go-getters. They have a serious intention, they want to do it, and they interact with people to get it done."

Danda yoga (10th start): 10th house = getting things done (karma/work). Staff doesn't shoot from a distance; you keep hitting until the person gives up. "In Danda yoga, the person is patient and he just keeps executing his work. He is a Karmayogi."

Yupa yoga (1st start): 1st house = personality itself. The person's very nature and talent carries them through. Strength of personality accomplishes what others need weapons to do.

Rule: In 4-sign yogas, the starting house determines the key result theme.

BPHS Ch.35 — Akriti Yogas: 7-Sign Support Yogas (Nauka/Kuta/Chhatra/Chapa)

Verse: "Lagna saptama gayir nauka, kutastur jyatchya saptama hi, chatra kya saptama devam, chapa majjad pa saptagay hi"

Pattern: All 7 planets within 7 consecutive houses starting from a Kendra

PVNR teaching on the center-house principle:

"He didn't say which house is the key — he just described the span. But the middle house must be the key. When planets span from 1st to 7th, the center is 4th. When 4th to 10th, center is 7th."

— PVNR

Nauka: Center = 4th (peace, direction, home). "If your direction is clear and you are peaceful about what you are doing, that clarity will keep you afloat even when there is trouble. You don't sink — like a ship keeps people from sinking."

Kuta: Center = 7th (interactions, people, relationships). "You have a gang of people supporting you. It's about PR, your interactions, friends and supportive networks."

Chhatra: Center = 10th (career, status, work). "Umbrella is not just shade from sun — it's a sign of authority. Chhatrapati. The person is protected by status; good position in society."

Chapa/Kapha: Center = 1st (self, personality, lagna). Arch/bow as structural support. "The character of the person is supporting whatever happens in life — foundational personality sustains everything."

Rule: In 7-sign yogas, the center (middle) house determines the key result theme.

BPHS Ch.35 — Alternating-Sign Yogas (Chakra/Samudra)

Verse: "Laghna dekhantarastha ischa shadvagais chakra udhyade; kanadekhantarastha ishtu samudra shakrhaseta hi"

Pattern: Planets in alternating houses (skipping every other house)

Chakra Yoga

• All 7 planets in odd houses: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11
• "Chakra" = wheel
• Key house: 11th (last in the pattern) = house of gains
• Result: Life is a cycle of wanting more and gaining more; keeps running after gains; materialistic cycle; repetition
• "Like a wheel going round and round — always cycling back for more"

Samudra Yoga

• All 7 planets in even houses: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12
• "Samudra" = ocean
• Key house: 12th (last in the pattern) = house of giving/releasing
• Result: Magnanimous giver; vast like the ocean; generosity; wealth may come but is given away; culminates in liberation/giving
• "Ocean is not just calm — it is a great giver. Everything culminates in the 12th."

PVNR teaching:

"One is in the cycle of gaining — running after more. The other is in the cycle of magnanimous giving. Chakra = 11th house focus. Samudra = 12th house focus. Two very different orientations to life."

— PVNR

Special note: Kalsarp Yoga is NOT a subset of these yogas because:

1. These yogas are for 7 classical planets only (no Rahu/Ketu)
2. The span must align to quadrant-based starting points
3. Kalsarp spans may start from non-Kendra houses
