Marvels From Jyotish Ratnakar

Khanna is a student of
fortunate enough to receive the knowledge directly from a scholar and had to rely on selfstudy alone. But the benefit of this was that he was free to assimilate any knowledge only
after proper reasoning, contemplation and confirmation. The result was that he realized
that Jyotish is not only true but also the highest truth, deep and palatable. His study of
Jyotish was only out of the curiosity of facts and he never thought of commercializing it.
After obtaining proficiency in astrology he realized that all his efforts would be in vain if
he just kept the knowledge to himself. In 1987 he decided to combine the knowledge he
had gathered over his lifetime with charts of great personalities and present it to the
world in the form of book.
Just like a diamond, the book throws light on several important facets of life. The
book is broadly divided into two parts- Ganita and Phalita. In the Phalita part, the life of
man is divided into eight waves and then each of them is considered from an
astrological point of view. These eight waves can be roughly titled as Birth/Longevity,
Parents/Relatives, Education/Knowledge, Marriage/Spouse, Progeny, Profession/
Wealth, Spirituality and Death.
The current article presents the third wave which deals with education and
learning of the native. Education is the most important aspect of life in todays world.
This is clearly visible by the level of competitiveness and the large amounts spent on it.
Good education gives good jobs as well as respect in society.
In this article, an effort is made to present the enormous amount of information in
the book in a systematic, precise and reader friendly fashion. An astrological rule or yoga
is mentioned, which is followed by case studies and it is shown how the rule applies to
each case. To avoid any mistakes or confusion the article is written verbatim.
Third Wave
In this wave, the subjects related to a natives learning, arts, skills, etc. have been
written. In olden times, children in this state were sent to the Gurus Ashrama for
academic study. Then, after finishing Samarvartanam1, and getting married, he used to
enter into the life of Grihastha Ashrama. But its a matter of grief that that now the
world has turned upsidedown, however some style of gaining knowledge has remained
unaltered.
From the fourth house, contemplation is done for learning and for intelligence from
the fifth house. There is a close relationship between learning and intelligence.
From the tenth house, contemplation is done about success obtained due to learning.

The Samavartana also known as Snna, is a sacramental ritual that was performed at the close of the Brahmacharya period
and marked the end termination of the student life. It signifies a person's entry into grihastashrama.
Due to this, contemplation about passing or not passing exams in University is made
from the tenth house and about intelligence, etc. is made from the fifth house. Learning is
of several types, for example Literature, Grammar, Mathematics, Law, Astrology,
Spiritual Science, Philosophy, Poetry, etc.
Contemplation for Veda, Vedanta, Grammar and Astrology is done from Jupiter.
Medicine from Mercury.
Art of singing, the power of giving impressive lectures and literature from Venus.
Contemplation for law and mathematics is done from Mars.
In the same way, contemplation for (knowledge of)Vedanta is done from the Sun,
Medicine from the Moon and
Knowledge of foreign science from Rahu and Saturn.
Contemplation of wisdom and erudition is done from the position of Mercury
And that of uncertainty and power of imagination from position of Venus in the
horoscope, and that of development of learning from Jupiter.
Again, from the second house, fourth house and ninth house the same things are
worked out.
From the second house contemplation on proficiency, dexterity, etc. in learning is
done.
From Mercury, power for studying and power of grasping, and from ninth house and
Moon, efficiency in poetry, religious matters, spiritual knowledge, etc. are
contemplated. From Saturn, ninth, and twelfth house contemplation is done about
knowledge. From Saturn, contemplation of English and foreign languages is also done.
Keep in mind that from Jupiter (also), if there is a relationship with the second, third,
fourth, and ninth house through Mercury then there is excellence in learning.
Rule 1: If Fifth lord either from Janma Lagna or Chandra Lagna or from both if associated
(means conjunction, aspect etc.) with Mercury, Jupiter, Venus singly or in combination and/or
placed in Kendra, Trikona or the 11th house then the person becomes a great scholar.

Lets look at Chart 1 of Jagadguru. It has been written above that contemplation of
proficiency, etc. in learning is done from the second house. In this horoscope, the second
lord, exalted Sun is in a Kendra i.e. in the tenth house. Again it is written that from the
fourth and ninth house also contemplation about learning is done. Fourth lord Venus,
who is the giver of scholarship, imagination, power and uncertainty, is also in the tenth
house and conjoins Sun. Again, the ninth lord from which contemplation of knowledge
especially spiritual knowledge is done, is exalted in a Kendra and fully aspects the ninth
and fifth house. Giver of intelligence, Mercury, is also along with Sun and Venus in the
tenth and Jupiter being in Lagna, the same Yoga is applicable. In the same way, Mercury,
the fifth lord from Moon is with Venus in Kendra from Lagna. And fifth lord from
Lagna, Mars is in a Kendra from the Moon. Hence, because of all these reasons, it is
deduced that Shankarcharyaji was a great and unmatched scholar of his time.

and excellence in learning. He was a great scholar of Bengal and head of a learning
center, which can be read in his brief biography.

Look at Chart 4 of the authors younger brother, Bihar-keshar Babu Shri
Krishnasinghji. Mercury is in the second house and the fourth lord Jupiter is also along
with it. Mercury and Jupiter are in their own Navamsas viz. in Mithuna and Dhana
respectively. The fifth lord from the Lagna is Saturn in the eleventh and the fifth lord
from Moon is Jupiter is in second house along with Mercury. Due to the effect of these
yogas, people of Bihar province are very familiar with his exceptional power and
wisdom. He was known to lecture on some political issues in the Bihar Council,
submitting definite theories of scholars of several other countries for confirmation of his
opinion.
Babu Aghornath Banerjee
Look at Chart 5 of Babu Aghornath Banerjee. In this horoscope, from the position of
second, fourth, ninth house, with Mercury and Jupiter, it is apparent that he was an
extremely good orator. Again, the fifth lord from Lagna is Mars and fifth lord from
Moon is Jupiter and are in the tenth and fourth house respectively. Because of this, his
extraordinary tactics in advocacy and his deep-thinking concerning justice, were drawn
on the criterion of learning and intelligence.
In a book named Sarvarth Chintamani it is written that if the significator of
learning, Jupiter, and the significator of intelligence, Mercury, are both conjoined (or
mutually aspect each other) as is the case in aforementioned Charts 2, 4 and 5, then the
native receives lots of respect in the Kings court and in public. It is apparent from simple
thinking that excellence of learning and intelligence definitely makes a native
respectable. If these two planets are well placed in the Navamsa, then results are
according to their harmony. But even by yoga alone, there is sharpness in the intellect of
a native.
According to aforementioned rules, if fourth lord is in Lagna or if Lagna lord is in
fourth house or Mercury is in Lagna and fourth house is powerful and is free from
aspects of evil planets then the native is successful in learning. If fourth lord is in fourth
and Lagna lord is in Lagna then also the native is successful in learning.
Keshavchandrasenji
Look at Chart 6 of late Keshavchandrasenji. The fourth lord Saturn is in the Lagna
and Mercury is also in the Lagna. Again, Mercury and Venus being in the Lagna bestow
power of thinking. The ninth lord is in the second house. Hence, he was highly
successful in learning and was a founder of a religious institution based on his thinking
and was an extraordinary person.

Rai Bahadur Suryaprasadji , lawyer in Bagalpur, who was also a government lawyer
for many days and who is nowadays visiting Kashi, in his Chart 7 the fourth lord Jupiter
is in his own house in Lagna and has a full aspect of exalted Saturn, the significator of
English language. Sun, Mercury and Moon, givers of spiritual knowledge, are in twelfth
or Parlokasthan (other world). He is B.A., B.L. and was an unmatched lawyer of
Bagalpur in his time.

Lagna- 8s 5
Please look at the Chart 11 of Vidhyasagarji. It is observed that the fourth lord Jupiter
has a full aspect on the fifth lord Mars and the tenth lord is in the tenth as well as
Mercury itself.
yogas, there was predominance of learning, power of imagination, etc. According to rule
(3), the fourth lord is in the fourth and it has a full aspect of Jupiter, the significator of
learning. Hence, he was complacent in learning also. If Lagna is taken to be Dhanu,
according to forthcoming Rule (3), fourth lord Jupiter has full aspect of Mars. Therefore,
Dhanu Lagna is not proper because Jupiter falls in enemys House.
Rule 3: If fourth lord is in 6th, 8th, 12th House or is conjoined with malefic or is aspected by
malefic or fourth lord is in evil Rashi, then native is devoid of learning or gets obstacles in
learning. Fourth lord, Jupiter or Mercury falling in third or 6th, 8th, 12th or in an enemys House is
harmful for learning.
Swami Ramatirthaji
Keshavchandrasenji
Again look at Chart 6. The fourth lord Saturn is with the malefic Sun in the same
Nakshatra and Mars placed in the tenth has a full aspect on the fourth lord Saturn as well
as on fourth House. Due to this, he kept having many troubles and obstructions in his
learning.
Vidhyasagarji
In the same way, by looking at Chart 11 it is known that the fourth lord Jupiter is
conjoined with Saturn and Saturns full aspect is on the fifth House. He too had to face
big troubles in learning.
Hyder Ali
Look Chart 16 of Hyder Ali. The house of learning is very weird. The fourth, fifth,
ninth, and second house lords, Mercury and Jupiter, planets who are givers of knowledge,
are in the second house i.e. in the house of power of speech and imagination. The Lagna
lord2, Venus, is in fourth. Again (according to Rule (3)) the fourth lord Saturn3 is with
the malefic Sun. Mercury, Saturn, and the Moon, who is the fourth lord, are in evil
Rashis also. None of the fifth lords from the Lagna or Moon is in a Kendra. The result of
this contrary yoga is that Hyder Ali did not get time for learning due to being a son of an
ordinary soldier meaning he had obstacles in learning. But historians have written that
he could fluently speak five languages and all work of state was done only after his
consultation. He used to personally look after every matter. That is, though not being
literate he was a scholar.

Rule 4: If Mercury is exalted or in own House in Kendra or Trikona from Lagna then there is
greatness of learning, vehicle and property.
In Chart 9 of Shri Shivkumar Shastriji, Mercury is in Lagna but is neither exalted
nor in its own house. But Mercury has Neecha-Bhang-Raj-Yoga. Hence, by effect of
Mercury he obtained greatness of wealth and learning.
Sir Prabhunarayana Singhji
Rule 5: If Jupiter in ninth has aspect of Mercury and Venus then the native becomes complete
scholar.
Rule 6: If Mercury, Jupiter and Venus are in ninth House then the native becomes famous
scholar. If Mercury and Jupiter are conjoined with Saturn in ninth House then the native becomes
scholar and rhetorician.
Intelligence
(a) If Mercury is the lord of the fifth house and if he is with some benefic planet or
has aspect of a benefic planet,
(b) If the fifth lord is surrounded by benefic planets,
Look a Chart 3 of Sir Ashutoshji. The fifth lord Mercury is in the Lagna. The Lagna lord
Venus is in the second house and is aspected by Jupiter. Due to this he was one of the most
remarkably intelligent people of the country.
