Some Forgotten Techniques of Rishis

The so-called Bhrigu Chakra Paddhati (BCP) named by Saptarshi Astyrology team,
based on Chandra Kala Nadi / Deva Keralam was used by Nanubhai Bhatt (who
called it Padma Chakra method) and later by Mr Bhavasar.

Timing of periods of various houses in BCP is exactly same as Sudarshana Chakra

Dashaa (SCD) of BPHS. I have provided for five levels from annual return to 5th
level of ~25 minutes period in Kundalee software, which generates all shodash
varga charts for these five levels of SCD.

Thus, shodashavarga charts at the moments of solar returns to annual /monthly

/vidashaa/sookshma/praana levels provide ancient varshaphala technique which
some ignorants now think to be of foreign origin, although Suryasiddhanta clearly
speaks of varsha and maasa pravesha charts &c (cf, varshesha, maasesha).

This ancient varshaphala technique does not need Tajik Neelkanthi methods, and
standard BPHS principles can be successfully applied to get good results, provided
Suryasiddhantic Ganita is used as was done by sages.

The same five level table of timings can be used by 3-tier Sudarshana chakra
method of BPHS, which works well and is in complete harmony with so-called
Bhrigu Chakra Paddhati (BCP) or Nanubhai System based on ancient Nadi texts.
Saptarshi Astrology team has wrongly declared that Sage Parashara's SCD is
different from BCP, the timing method is exactly same in both. The difference lies in
the fact that extant version of BPHS does not contain the Nadi Astrology portion by
Sage Parashara, whose proofs are available in the first ever publication of BPHS
from Khemraj Press of Mumbai aboout a century ago. That edition contains 155
yogas, some of which are repetitions, which is a form of 150 portions of rasi used in
Nadi texts, resulting from all permutations and combinations of sixteen divisional
charts. But details in Parashari Hora are lost, as a verse in Khemraj edition says
there were 8000 verses in first part of Parashari Hora (now called BPHS), now only
~3000 are left in the first part. Number of verses in second part are not mentioned.

Thus, there was no difference of opinion among rishis. Saptarshi Astrology issues
unfounded statements like "when Vimshottari system was not discovered...".

In BPHS, the chapter on Ashtakavarga is placed near that on Sudarshana Chakra.

Why ? Because Sudarshana Chakra method is useless without AV. If AV is not used
with SC, we will get exact replicas of SC dashaas after 12 years, which is
nonsensical. Therefore, the role of transits must not be neglected.

At present, the timing table upto five levels have been presented in Kundalee
software, which is to be used in three domains : (1)solar returns, (2)SC dashaas,
and (3) so-called Bhrigu Chakra or Chandrakalaa or Devakeralam technique. It is
very difficult to generate solar retrurn charts manually, hence these charts are
produced by the software, while remaining two techniques can be used by the
astrologer with the same timing table with good results (I have tested all these
three methods and they work well, the third method needs knowledge of texts like
B hrigu Samhita, Chandrakala Nadi, etc; Deva Keralam has been published by
Sagar Publications in New Delhi). I have also provided option for modern physical
astronomy, but I left using that over a decade ago because SSS gives far better
results. There are persons who have dogmatic issues agains SSS, they can forget it
and use Drik (physical astronomy).

I am planning to incorporate Nadi Astrology phalita results into Kundalee software,

a part of which is what is mentioned above. But things are very complex and vast,
and will take time.

Ancient Padma Chakra has nothing to do with individual horoscopy (cf. Padma
Chakra of Nanubhai Ji), ancient Padma Chakra is the chart of international
horoscope, hence I call it Prithvi Chakra to avoid confusion. Narapatijayacharya
describes it, published by Chowkhamba. Kundalee softyware includes these chakras
in the form of 16 divisional charts on international map (Prithvi or Padma Chakra)
or on India's map (Desha Chakra). If you know the foundation time of provinces,
towns, villages, buildings, etc, you can make Pradesha Chakra, Nagara Chakra,
Graama CjHakra, Griha Chakra and Kshetra Chakra , the last for your farmland to
predict its agricultural produce. Now people do not keep records of horoscopes of
their villages or towns, but a scholar from Bhuj (Dr Bhudia) in Gujarat has sent the
horoscope of Bhuj town preserved in a mediaeval manuscript.

Padm Chakra Method

Ancient Padm Chakra has nothing to do with individual horoscopy, it is the

chart of international horoscope, hence I call it Prithvi Chakra to avoid
confusion. Kundalee software includes these Chakra in the form of 16
divisional charts on international map (Prithvi or Padm Chakra) or on India's
map (Desh Chakra). If you know the foundation time of provinces, towns,
villages, buildings, etc, you can make Pradesh Chakra, Nagar Chakra, Graam
Chakra, Griha Chakra and Kshetra Chakra etc, and the last for your
farmland to predict its agricultural produce. Now people do not keep
records of horoscopes of their villages or towns, but a scholar from Bhuj in
Gujarat has sent the horoscope of Bhuj town preserved on a mediaeval
manuscript.

In Ahamadaabaad, Gujaraat, one person called Nanubhai Bhatt has

developed one fantastic technique, called Padm Chakra Paddhati. It is
combination of progression with Dwaadashaansh which is more accurate
then KP or Naadee Astrology. Where if you combine Gocher it gives
amazing results of predication. Today Nanubhai is not present but Mr
Pramod Bhavasaar is using this systems and he said he never uses any other
system of prediction than this in his life. I am using this systems and found
that this is more pin point predictive systems than any other system. Also
Varsh Phal, Month Phal etc can also be very accurately predicted. All
otherwise this good systems may lost after no one is using it.
Naanubhai Bhatt used an ancient title for a different and modern
technique. Padm Chakra is same as the so-called Bhrigu Chakra Paddhati
named by Saptarshi Astrology team, based on Chandra Kaal Naadee / Dev
Keralam. There are 84 ancient astrological Chakra described in Yaamal
Tantra texts whose archaicness is said to belong to Vaidik period. One of
those astrological Chakra is Padm Chakra. I call it Prithvi Chakra to remove
ambiguity and misunderstanding. "Saptarshi Astrology" magazine once
described a monk in Vaaraanasee who said that any Shodash Varg can be
exclusively used for all topics, but the technique was not explained. I have
activated that ancient technique in Kundalee software, but it demands
exact rectification of birth time. The software is ready, but help files and
case studies are still in the pipeline, without which hardly anyone will be
able to use this ancient and most accurate tool of Vaidik astrology. This
tool is 100% based on BPHS and is different from that used by Nanubhai
Bhatt, but the technique of Nanubhai Bhatt in an expanded form will also
be available in Kundalee software.
Vinay Jha

PC Bhavsar is one of the two masters alive (in 2012) who teach prediction
by Padm Chakra method. He says that most predictions are made by Lagn
Chart or Birth Chart and Raashi Chart, but when a prediction is made for
any House combined with Dwaadashaansh chart, is called Padm Chakra
method.

Use of the term "Padm Chakra" in Horaa Shaastra (individual horoscopy) is

a recent invention by Mr Bhavsar who attributes it to some unknown yogi
giving its knowledge to Mr Bhavsar's Guru Nanubhai Ji. Before Mr Bhavsar,
"Padm Chakra" is not mentioned in any classic in connection to horoscopy,
although a different type of Padm Chakra is mentioned in some classics in
reference to Medinee Jyotish. Mr Nanubhai or Mr Bhavsar should have
used a different term for a different concept, because Padm Chakra was
used for a Medinee tool for thousands of years but this fact was not known
to Mr Bhavsar.

Aachaarya Medh Vijaya has written a book "Varsh Prabodh" on this subject.
In this book the prediction has been made for the Samvatsar from Chaitra
Maas to Phaalgun Maas, the base of which is the holy town Ujjain from 8
Dishaa described, then a system from star and name of the town or state
or city, his first word getting star of city like the star of the city
Sholaapur is P-Bhaadrapad then Dishaa of Sholaapur from Ujjayinee. There
are Dhuranks of Dishaa then calculating from the star of Saturn we can get
Mahaadashaa, [356 days] Chandra Maas Antar-dashaa, Pratyantar Dashaa,
Sookshm Dashaa, then Praan Dashaa, you can predict the whole year of the
city or state or town by this Dashaa. Someone can try this for his city by
calculating city, if Saturn changes star in the year the calculation also given
from 11th Oct 2012 Saturn will change star. I will give all Dashaa of four
multi cities of India like Mumbai after one can observe it in this book all
Dashaa of planets are described with results so there is a Padm Chakra.

(2) Padm Chakra is an ancient tool of Medinee Jyotish described in

Narapati Jayaachaarya based on ancient Yaamal Tantra. Modern
astrologers should use different names for new concepts.

(3) It is a Muhoort-based approach in which Taaraa Balam helps for the

good or bad to open. In Gochar we need two factors - 1. Place, 2. Purpose,
otherwise general studies is only for informative purpose.

Timing of periods of various houses is exactly same as Sudarshan Chakra

Dashaa (SCD) of BPHS. I have provided for five levels from annual return
to 5th level of ~25 minutes period in Kundalee software, which generates
all shodash varga charts for these five levels of SCD. Thus, Shodash Varg
charts at the moments of solar returns to annual / monthly / Vidashaa /
Sookshm / Praan levels provide ancient Varsh Phal technique which some
ignorant now think to be of foreign origin, although Soorya Siddhaant
clearly speaks of Varsh and Maas Pravesh charts (Varshesh, Maasesh).

This ancient Varsh Phal technique does not need Taajak Neelkanthee
methods and standard BPHS principles can be successfully applied to get
good results, provided Soorya Saiddhantic Ganit is used as was done by
sages. The same five level table of timings can be used by 3-tier Sudarshan
Chakra method of BPHS, which works well and is in complete harmony with
so-called Bhrigu Chakra Paddhati (BCP) or Nanubhai System based on
ancient Naadee texts. Saptarshi Astrology team has wrongly declared that
Sage Paraashar's SCD is different from BCP, the timing method is exactly
same in both. The difference lies in the fact that extant version of BPHS
does not contain the Naadee Astrology portion by Sage Paraashar, whose
proofs are available in the first ever publication of BPHS from Khemraj
Press of Mumbai about a century ago. That edition contains 155 Yog, some
of which are repetitions, which is a form of 150 portions of Raashi used in
Naadee texts, resulting from all permutations and combinations of 16
Divisional Charts. But details in Paraasharee Horaa are lost, as a verse in
Khemraj edition says there were 8,000 verses in the first part of
Paraasharee Horaa (now called BPHS), now only 3000 verses are left.
Number of verses in second part are not mentioned. Thus, there was no
difference of opinion among Rishi. Saptarshi Astrology issues statements
like "when Vinshottaree system was not discovered....

In BPHS, the chapter on Ashtak Varg is placed near that on Sudarshan

Chakra. Why? Because Sudarshan Chakra method is useless without Ashtak
Varg. If Ashtak Varg is not used with Sudarshan Chakra, we will get exact
replicas of Sudarshan Chakra Dashaa after 12 years, which is nonsense.
Therefore, the role of transits must not be neglected.

Bhrigu Samhita, Bhrigu Saral Paddhati and Bhrigu Chakra paddhati (BSP & BCP).

I know many people amongst you must be familiar with the word “Bhrigu
Samhita”, ever heard about “Bhrigu Saral Paddhati or Bhrigu Chakra Paddhati known
by acronyms as BSP’s and BCP’s” ?

What is Brighu Saral Paddhati and Bhrigu Chakra paddhati BSP and BCP ?

BSP and BCP’s were popularized by Saptarishis astrology magazine. it is a complete

system in itself like any other system, laal kitab, kp, jaimini astrology, parashari
astrology, ramal shastra, brighu samhita etc.

There are 2 types of BSP’s :

 Age based
 Combination based.

For example moon Vibrates his radical position at the age of 18. Mars vibrates 10th
house from his radical position at the age of 27/28. It means that these planets would
cause some change in your life or be responsible for important even related to some
house they vibrate in your horoscope on these years.

2nd type is for example Jupiter and Saturn are placed in the sign together anywhere in
the horoscope they will spoil atleast one signification of aries sign irrespective of the
house Aries is placed in your horoscope.

There is still a lot of research needed in this system and the rules modified according to
research, Using BSP’s need intuition as well. Some people use it with divisional charts
while some use them with kakshas.

Here is a video on the use of BSP’s by Shri Shankar hegde ji, who is a very famous
astrologer of international fame from karnataka and my mentor in astrology who has
also taught and shared a lot of things with me and always encouraged me to do
astrology.

I had talked about Bhrigu Chakra Paddhati. Apparently, the method has classical roots and I
expect Sreenadh-ji to provide us with some more clues about this technique. It is felt that I
should discuss my observations & my understanding about the technique with someone from
Astrology background.
The system is dependent on degree-cal difference of Lagna and different planets. So, in a
way, it is less dependent on Ayanamsha. However, when lagna or planets are at the border of
signs / navamsha, where slight change of Ayanamsha, signs / navamsha can change, the usual
problem again crops up. Anyway, I am giving below the concepts that I do use - along with
areas which needs some thought.
Basics :

a) Lagna & planets progresses at 30 degree / 360 days. Some uses 30 degree / 365.242
days as well.
b) When the progresses lagna / planets reach a sensitive point, an event can be
triggered.
c) The nature of event will also be dependent on other factors like transits etc.
d) The sensitive points are generally - The degree of (i) Sign lord (ii) Aspecting planets
(iii) Planets that are in navamshaka of that sign (Say, Jupiter getting n Cancer
navamshaka will influence the behavior of Sign Cancer ). If one sign is aspected, the
other sign of the same lord will get same sensitive point.
e) The usual astrological concepts are fully applicable.
f) It appears that in presence of Ketu, the calculations do not match exactly.
g) It appears that as the age progresses, the lagna movement does not exactly match
any method. Some correction factor needs to be applied ……..something like
precessional movement.

Possible pitfalls :

When someone is dealing with so many numbers, there is a tendency to match the results
somehow. Also chances are high that there will be sheer co-incidences, providing some
apparent pattern in small scale checks.

The method, if correct, can be a very good Post-mortem aid in stand-alone mode. However,
for projecting in to future, it may not be useful in present form.

Let me try out the method with some examples. I have tried both 360 days and 365.242 days.
And also, where applicable, forward and backward movement for odd and even signs.

Please note that the calculation is very much dependent on Lagna degree. Possible causes of
inexactitude of Lagna is (a) Different Ayanamsha  Mostly does not matter except when the
planets or lagna is at the Sandhi of two signs. (b) TOB  The error will be persistent in each
cases and hence can be guessed. However, if there are two or more planets are almost at the
same degree, confusions may be there about how to relate and whom to relate

A) Marriage on 04 Nov 1984

a) SS/ BCP – 360 days : Age 22.54166 years. Progressed lagna is at Sagittarius 18d 35’,
which is quite close to degree of Mercury. How Mercury is connected to Sagittarius is not
apparent here. However, same can be explained with a different navamsha approach.
b) SS/ BCP-365.242 days : Age 22.2161943565 years. Progressed lagna is at Sagittarius
8d49’. However no correlation is found.

B) Birth of 1st Son : 03 Nov 1985

a) SS/ BCP – 360 days : Age 23.552778 yrs. The progressed lagna is in Capricorn, at
18d55 which is again close to degree of Mercury. As the Me is 5L and aspects
Aquarius and hence this is justifiable.
b) SS/BCP – 365.242 days : 23.213557 yrs. The progressed lagna is at Capricorn at 8d44’.
No correlation could be found.

C) Birth of second son on 09 Oct 1995

a) SS/ BCP – 360 days : Age 33.62777 yrs. Progressed lagna is at Scorpio at 21d10’. No
correlation observed. Although Rahu is getting Scorpio navamshaka with Navamsha
sphuta of 20d… but should this be allowed ? No.
b) SS/BCP – 365.242 days : Age 33.14511. Progressed lagan is at 6 Sc 41. No
correlation found.

D) Surgery on 27 Aug 2004 :

a) SS/ BCP – 360 days : Age 42.64166 yrs. Progressed lagna is at Leo – 21d 35’. No
correlation observed.
b) SS/BCP – 365.242 days : Age 42.02738 yrs. Progressed lagna is at Leo, 3d09 min.
May be correlated with degree of Mars.

Conclusion : No real trend so far.

C) 1st Son : 25th Jan, 1999
D) 2nd Son : 08 September, 2004
E) Surgery : 13th November 2008.

A) Death of Father happened on 3rd December, 1989.

a) BCP -360 days : Age 14.66666 yrs. Progressed lagna is at Virgo, 28d29’ –this is very
close to degree of Mars, which is aspecting Virgo. Mars, 10L is also Maraka to 9L
Jupiter. So, it does match
 b) BCP-356.242 days : Progressed lagna is at Virgo at 22d8’… might be correlated
with degree of Mercury if lagna was at slightly less than 8d.
c) SS-360 days : Progressed lagna is Aries at 18d30’ . No correlation
d) SS-365.242 days : progressed lagna is at Aries at 24d51’ . No correlation

Additional : If we look at the chart, The sensitive points in Virgo is 26.5 degree (aspect
of Jup), 28.5 degree (aspect of Mars), 21.6 degree ( degree of sign lord). As Virgo is
3rd house, 7th to 9th house, it can show death of father. Mars is lord of 10H..so a
Maraka for 9L

B) Marriage took place on 05th June 1997.

a) BCP -360 days : Age 22.28055 yrs. Progressed lagna is at Taurus – 16d54’ does
not match.
b) BCP-356.242 days : Age 21.95867 years. Progressed lagna is at Taurus 7d14’ -
degree of Ketu at Taurus. Match ?
c) SS-360 days : Progressed lagna is at Virgo 0d5’. No correlation
d) SS-365.242 days : progressed lagna is at Virgo 9d45 . No correlation

C) Birth of 1st Son on 25 Jan 1999

b) BCP-356.242 days: Age 22.599601 yrs. The progressed lagna is in Taurus .. 26d29’.
This is close to Jup’s degree (Match ?). However, Jup’s relation with Taurus or its
lord Venus is not apparent.
c) SS-360 days : Age 23.94444. Progressed lagna is in Cancer at 10d10’. No
correlation
d) SS-365.242 days : Age 22.599601. Progressed lagna is in Leo, 20d30. Close to
degree of Mercury…but connection of Mercury and Leo is not apparent.

D) Birth of 2nd son on 08 Sept 2004.

a) BCP -360 days : Age 29.647222 yrs. Progressed lagna is at Sagittarius

27d54…close to Mars’ degree. (Mars is 5L)
b) BCP-356.242 days: Age 29.21903 yrs. Progressed lagna is at Sagittarius 15d4’. No
correlation.
c) SS-360 days : Age 29.647222 yrs Progressed lagna is at Capricorn at 19d5’. Close
to Moon’s & Venus’ degree. (Moon and Venus are in parivartana.) However, no
clear correlation
d) SS-365.242 days : Age 29.21903 yrs. Progressed lagna is at Aquarius at 1d55’. No
correlation.

E) Minor surgery on 12th November, 2008.

 a) BCP -360 days : Age 33.86111 yrs. The progressed lagna is at Taurus 4d 19’. No
correlation. Except, may be related to Sun (4d35’) which sits at Scorpio navamsha
and may be, arguably, aspects Taurus.
b) BCP-356.242 days: Age 33.39699 yrs. Progressed lagna is at Aries, 20d24’.
Tenuous correlation with Mercury or Venus (degree-wise). However, no relation
exists in chart or navamsha.
c) SS-360 days : Age 33.86111 yrs . Progressed lagna is at Virgo 12d40’. No
correlation.
d) SS-365.242 days : Age 33.39699 yrs. Progressed lagna is at Virgo 26d35’. Again
Tenuous correlation with degree of Jupiter.

Events :
a) Death of father = 3rd December, 1989
b) Marriage = 26th April, 1998
c) Birth of daughter = 10th March, 1999

A) Death of Father happened on 3rd December, 1989.

a) BCP / SS-360 days : Age 19.34722 yrs. Progressed lagna is at Cancer 13d59’. This
does not match. However, if the lagna degree is slightly less..approx 2d20’…this
does match. Also, Cancer being 8th house, (12th to 9th lord), will justify the event. (
I have used 2d20’ for further calculation)
b) BCP/SS-356.242 days : Age 19.06844 yrs. Progressed lagna is at Cancer 5d38.
Does not match.

B) Marriage on 26th April, 1998

a) BCP / SS-360 days : Age 27.86388 yrs. Progressed lagna is at Pisces, 28d14. Close
to Mercury’s degree. Mercury is 7th Lord. So can show marriage. But Mercury and
Pisces are not connected.
b) BCP/SS-356.242 days : Age 27.46270 yrs. Progressed lagna is at Pisces, 16d12’.
Does not match
 C) Birth of Daughter on 10th March, 1999
a) BCP / SS-360 days : Age 28.74222 yrs. Progressed lagna is at Aries 24d35’..close to
Saturn’s degree and location. So, this is a match
b) BCP/SS-356.242 days : Age 28.33402 yrs. Progressed lagna is at Aries 12d41’. No
correlation.
CONCLUSION
1) Apparently, few things do match and few do not.
2) The doubt is…..whether the matching is random (as happens while playing with
Calculator, crunching random numbers) or is there a pattern underlying.
3) There appears to be some gap between degree of Lagna and happenings. The gap
increases as the age increases…roughly 1 degree in 70 years. (this is based on some
charts which I had tried earlier, but not included in this.

Anyway, please tell me whether I should pursue this direction of thought or not. RegardsP L

Random Thoughts
The following is a random thought…… may be there is something in the thought that I would
pursue in future. Just sharing with all of you.

There has been discussions about various navamsha. Few prominent authors have expressed
that Normal navamsha (classical or Parashari, Cyclic, Harmonic or whatever we call them)
does not give good results while applying with Jaimini analysis. So people have come with
possible navamsha construction techniques.

Eminent astrologers like Rath-ji and Shanmukh-ji have come up with a navamsha what they
call Nadi-amsa or jaimini Navamsa. Sri PVR-ji has come with a slight variation of that.

Somehow, these methods do not appear logical to me. (How audacious !!!)

In these charts, I have mentioned that sometimes rasi & navamsha do not show any apparent
connection with the happening. Hence I tried few of these Navamsha techniques too. But
later on, I tried to see the Logic of these methods. And now I am trying a new method…….

Construction Logic
Basic Logic : The strength of rashi is most for following amsha

Chara : 1st amsha (start)

Sthira : the 9th Amsa (end)
Dual : the 5th Amsha (middle).

It was felt that this property should get reflected in navamsha too.

That is, 1st part of any Chara Rashi should get that particular navamsha. 0-3d20 of Aries,
Cancer, Libra and Capricorn should get Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn respectively . In any
Navamsha construction method, this is followed.
The 9th Amsha of Sthira Rashi should get the same navamsha. That is 26d40’-30d0’ minute of
Taurus, leo, Scorpio and Aqua should get Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aqua respectively.
Similarly, 13d20’-16d40’ part (5th amsha) of Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces (all dual rashi-
I know I should write Dwiswabhava….but dual is a good short-cut) should get the Gemini,
Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces navamsha. However, in any of these navamsha methods, same is
never attained.

The way out, logically, is very simple. Follow the starting points for navamsha counting
espoused by Krishna Mishra and counting shall be done in forward direction for Chara Rashi
and in reverse direction for other rashi-s (Sthira & Dual rashi). That way, we will get 9
navamshaka from each rasi (one of the shortcomings of navamsha methods of Shanmukh-ji/
Rath-ji).

Mapping Logic

All navamsha starts from Chara Rashi

Direction of count : In forward direction for Chara Rashi. In reverse direction for Sthira &
Dual rashi

Starting Point :
Ar, Leo & Sag  From Aries
Ta, Vi & Cp  From Cp
Ge, Li & Aqua  From Li
Cn, Sc & Pi  From Cn

The outcome would be as follows : (Arrow –Start of Counting and direction)

Ar Ta Ge Cn Leo Virgo Libra Sco Sag Cp Aqua Pi

Ar
Ta
Ge
Cn
Leo
Virgo
Lib
Sc
Sag
Cp
Aqua
Pi

Hope somebody does some experimentation with this one too before discarding.
