Chandrakriya etc.

Now we will be demonstrating the method to work Chandrakriya, Chandra Avastha and Chandravelas specify their effects. In the assessment of a birth chart, query chart and for Muhurta, full consideration should be given to Chandrakriya, Chandra Avastha and Chandravelas. Chandrakriyas are 60 in number, Chandra Avasthas 12 and Chandravelas 36. 12. Note the Nakshatra at birth, query or Muhurta. The Ghatikas and Vighatikas which have elapsed may be converted into Vighatikas. Divide this result by (1) 60, (2) 300 and (3) 100. The three resulting quotients are named (1) Chandrakriya, (2) chandra Avastha and (3) Chandravela respectively. Their effects are described below. Effects of Chandrakriyas The following are the effects of the 60 Chandrakriyas: 13-15.

Notes: Now we give below ready made tables for finding out the Chandrakriyas, Chandra avasthas and Chandravelas. Chandrakriya 60 parts of a Nakshatra to find out Chandrakriya The stretch of a Nakshatra is 13-20'. One sixtieth part of which will be 13'-20" (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) (7) (8) (9) (10) (11) (12) (13) (14) (15) DMS 0-13-20 0-26-40 0-40-0 0-53-20 1-6-40 1-20-0 1-33-20 1-46-40 2-0-0 2-13-20 2-26-40 2-40-0 2-53-20 3-6-40 3-20-0 (16) (17) (18) (19) (20) (21) (22) (23) (24) (25) (26) (27) (28) (29) (30) DMS 3-33-20 3-46-40 4-0-0 4-13-20 4-26-40 4-40-0 4-53-20 5-6-40 5-20-0 5-33-20 5-46-40 6-0-0 6-13-20 6-26-40 6-40-0 (31) (32) (33) (34) (35) (36) (37) (38) (39) (40) (41) (42) (43) (44) (45) DMS 6-53-20 7-6-40 7-20-0 7-33-20 7-46-40 8-0-0 8-13-20 8-26-40 8-40-0 8-53-20 9-6-40 9-20-0 9-33-20 9-46-40 10-0-0 (46) (47) (48) (49) (50) (51) (52) (53) (54) (55) (56) (57) (58) (59) (60) DMS 10-13-20 10-26-40 10-40-0 10-53-20 11-6-40 11-20-0 11-33-20 11-46-40 12-0-0 12-13-20 12-26-40 12-40-0 12-53-20 13-6-40 13-20-0

For example in a nativity the longitude of the Moon (Chandraspasta) is 11-20-37-21 and the stretch of Revti Nakshatra being from 11-16-40 to 12-0-0: Longitude of the Moon 11-20-37 Commencement of Revti 11-16-40 Elapsed portion of Revti 3-57-21

By referring to the above table we will find that the 17th part ended at 3-46-40 and the 18th part will end at 4-0-0. Therefore by the elapsing of 17th part the effect of its Chandrakriya viz one. Who studies vedas' will be taken into account which means that the native will be a learned person. Chandra Avastha For finding out Chandra Avastha the stretch of a Nakshatra has to be divided into 12 parts. Thus one part will come to 1-6-40. DMS (1) 1-6-40 (2) 2-13-20 (3) 3-20-0 (4) 4-26-40 DMS DMS (5) 5-33-20 (9) 10-0- 0 (6) 6-40-0 (10) 11-6- 40 (7) 7-46-40 (11) 12-13-20 (8) 8-53-20 (12) 13-20- 0

For example the elapsed portion of Revti Nakshatra Is 3-57'-21". The third part ends at 3-20-0 The 4th part will end at 4-26'-40". Therefore the effect of 4th part will be taken into account which is 'distinguished for becoming a ruler'. Chandravela For finding out the Chandravela the stretch of a Nakshatra viz 1320' has to be divided into 36 parts. One part will thus come to 13'-13"-20" (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) (7) (8) (9) (10) (11) (12) DMS 0-22-13-20 0-44-26-40 1-6-40- 0 1-28-53-20 1-57-6-40 2-13-20- 0 2-35-33-20 2-57-46-40 3-20-0-0 3-42-13-20 4-4-26-40 4-26-40-0 (13) (14) (15) (16) (17) (18) (19) (20) (21) (22) (23) (24) DMS DMS 4-48-53-20 (25) 9- 15-33-20 5-11-6-40 (26) 9-37-46-40 5-13-20-0 (27) 10-0-0-0 5-55-13-20 (28) 10-22-13-20 6-17-46-40 (29) 10-49-26-40 6-40-0- 0 (30) 11-6-40-0 6-2-13-20 (31) 11-28-53-20 7-24-26-40 (32) 11-51-6-40 7- 46-40- 0 (33) 12-13-20-0 8-8-53-20 (34) 12-35-33-20 8-31-6-40 (35) 12-57-46-40 8-53-20-0 (36) 13-20-0-0

For example if the elapsed portion of Revati Nakshatra is 3-57'-21". Part 10 ends 3-42'-13"-20". Part 11 ends 4-4'-26"-40". Therefore it falls in 11th part. The effects of this 'taking poison' which means the nature is fed up with life and wants to get rid of it. 20. The Chandrakriya, Chandra Avastha and Chandravela described above will be found very useful and effective in the case of a birth, muhurta and a quary. One ought therefore to pay particular attention to them before making any prediction. 21. Paksha Bala (fortnightly strength) is of special importance to the Moon and Sthana Bala is of some importance to the other planets. When this strength added to other kinds of strength of a planet, it will add more strength to that planet. There are many such types of strength.
