Parivrajya Yoga, Saturn/Rahu AL Rules & Mahapurusha Priority

Parivrajya (Parivrajaya) Yoga — Genuine Renunciation

Definition

• Also called Pravrajya Yoga.
• Moon in a navāṁśa of Mars, and together with Saturn or aspected by Saturn in the rāśi chart.
• It makes one a renunciate.

Why It Matters

• Many people are spiritual, saintly, gentle natured. Not everybody can renounce material benefits.
• To give up all desires, to want nothing, one needs a Parivrajya Yoga.

"Without that Parivrajya Yoga, one cannot be a genuine sanyasi. Even if one becomes a sanyasi, he will just be a sanyasi for the world, not a real sanyasi."

Swami Jayendra Saraswati's Chart

• Capricorn lagna. Moon and Saturn are together in Aquarius, the 2nd house.
• Moon is in Scorpio navāṁśa — a navāṁśa of Mars.
• The sign of the conjunction is Saturn's own sign. Had it been a sign of Venus or of Mars, the yoga would have been much weaker.
• So the Parivrajya Yoga is complete and of the highest order. He is a genuine sanyasi; there is no doubt about it.

Recap of the Last Class

• After the arrest, sections of the media projected him as power-hungry — for example the celebration at the anniversary of his ascension, where he was showered with gold.
• The 3rd and 6th from Arudha Lagna, the planets there and the planets aspecting them, showed a genuine sadhu.

Saturn and Rahu's Special Arudha Lagna Rules

Raj Yoga Positions from AL

The Same Saturn Gives Both Yogas

• Saturn, the lagna lord, gives the Parivrajya Yoga. He is also in the 12th from Arudha Lagna (AL is in Pisces, Saturn in Aquarius). That is a Raj Yoga.
• So even in sanyasa he is perceived as very powerful, very influential, somebody with a lot of authority.

Saturn's Image Paradox

• Saturn stands for renunciation, for working hard without attachment.
• Saturn in AL: the person looks like a renunciate. Bad for a politician. Great for a sanyasi — he is a sanyasi and is seen to be one.
• Saturn in the 12th from AL: he is seen as rejecting sanyasa. The 12th is giving up; Saturn is giving up. People think he is "giving up the sense of giving up".
• So some people hold the image that he is a sanyasi who is not really a sanyasi — that he does want power and political connections. Many others still see a great sanyasi.
• Had Saturn been in AL itself, nobody would have had that image.

Truth vs. Image

• AL is the image. It does not matter for the truth.
• The truth is seen from lagna. And from lagna the Parivrajya Yoga is complete.

Jayalalithaa's Chart — the Data and the Question

The Birth Time and Its Rectification

• February 24, 1948, 2:36:20 PM IST, 80°E18′, 13°N05′ (Madras).
• The coordinates are probably wrong: PVNR believes she was born in Karnataka (Mysore), not Madras. The published chart was given for Madras, so he used that. The lagna was rectified with these coordinates, so the rectification compensates. Change the place and the time must change with it.
• A student had 2:34 PM, the time in Sanjay Rath's book, which gives Sagittarius lagna in the daśāṁśa. PVNR disagrees: "We had a big argument. Finally, neither of us could convince the other."
• His position: daśāṁśa lagna is Capricorn and Ghatika Lagna in the daśāṁśa is Aries. With Sagittarius he cannot explain the entertainment career or the timing of the events of her life.
• Her data is not in dispute otherwise. She does not hide her chart. Karunanidhi gives out three different charts so that nobody can use the right one against him.

Two Possibilities

The Tamil Nadu public prosecutor calls the Swami a criminal. Jayalalithaa says she is only doing her duty, her dharma.

1. She is wrong. She held a grudge and exploited a small opportunity to the fullest. The media gave two stories: a quarrel over the purchase of hospitals in Madras, and an interview in which he called her arrogant and egoistic.
2. He did commit crimes and she is following her dharma, pained at having to imprison somebody she respected.

"As astrologers, you should always consider all the possibilities. You should not be biased."

First check that the chart makes sense. Then see which is more likely.

Mahapurusha Yoga — Priority Rules

The Five Mahapurusha Yogas

One of the five planets in a kendra in own sign, Moolatrikona or exaltation:

• They produce great people — people who achieve a lot. Not necessarily honest or genuine people.

Jayalalithaa's Rāśi

• Gemini lagna: intelligent, quick to understand, good drafting power.
• Jupiter in the 7th in Sagittarius, his Moolatrikona and own sign → Hamsa Yoga.
• Venus in the 10th in Pisces, his exaltation sign → Malavya Yoga.
• Two Mahapurusha Yogas. Which dominates?

The Priority Rules

1. Number one rule — the trikona the planet is in. Dharma Trikona (1, 5, 9) first, because it decides who you are, your dharma, your abilities, your nature. Then Artha Trikona (2, 6, 10), then Kama Trikona (3, 7, 11), then Moksha Trikona (4, 8, 12).
2. Then dignity: exaltation, then Moolatrikona, then own sign.

PVNR gives the dignity rule first. A student then asks whether exaltation comes first, and he corrects the order: the trikona rule "is even before that. Even before exaltation, Moolatrikona and own sign. This is actually the number one rule."

Example: K.N. Rao

• Venus in lagna in Moolatrikona; Jupiter in the 10th in exaltation.
• A student answers "Jupiter". No: Jupiter is in Artha Trikona, Venus is in Dharma Trikona. Malavya dominates, though Jupiter is the exalted one.
• Hamsa still gives some results. He is predominantly a Malavya person.
• It shows in his conduct. He visited the US, met many astrologers, went back and wrote a book about them. He passed judgment on everybody, hurt many people and turned friends into enemies with one book.
• Dr. B.V. Raman also wrote about his experiences in the West. He was diplomatic and respectful to everybody, and hurt nobody.
• PVNR calls K.N. Rao a great astrologer who contributed a lot, though his own parampara does not agree with many of his teachings.

Jupiter Is the Diplomat, Not Venus

• Hamsa people are polite, courteous, diplomatic, of impeccable behaviour.
• Jupiter's diplomacy: you do not want to hurt anybody, so you tell people what they want to hear.
• Rahu's diplomacy: you are selfish, you want something from people, so you tell them what they want to hear in order to cheat them.
• Venus is not a planet of diplomacy. No classical description of Venus or of Malavya Yoga mentions it.

"He will go and do his tapas for a thousand years sincerely, he will come back, and whatever he feels, he will say on your face."

• Modern books paint Venus as the diplomat, probably because Venus is the planet of entertainment. Entertaining people is different from being diplomatic with them.
• Malavya people say what they feel. They do not care for people's emotions. They can be unemotional, detached, judgmental.

Verdict on Jayalalithaa

• Venus is exalted and in Artha Trikona; Jupiter is in Kama Trikona. Venus dominates on both counts.
• She is a Malavya person more than a Hamsa person.
• Hamsa still gives something. Jupiter in Sagittarius aspects lagna, so there is some dharma in her: God-fearing, respectful of dharma and religion. "It's not that you are a totally adharmic person."
• PVNR adds that she is a very arrogant lady: call her egoistic and she can go to any extent to fix it.
