Mission of Sri Jagannath Center :
The Sri Jagannath Center (SJC) was established in 1998 with the objective of teaching Vedic Astrology in
the ancient, time-honored tradition of Maharishi Parasara, Jaimini and other sages of yore. The tradition
traces its lineage to Mahapurush Achyuta Dasa, the disciple of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. Vedic Astrology
will be taught by a panel of Jyotish Gurus in the traditional Jyotish parampara of Jagannath, Puri. The
highest standards of integrity would be infused through the strict discipline of yogic practices in the Vedic
religion including training in Vedic remedial measures. Meditation including dhyana (meditation techniques
to cleanse the mind), dharana (concentration techniques to increase intelligence and use of intuition),
pranayama (yogic breathing methods to increase life force) etc. are taught to ensure spiritual discipline
while the classes on the Srimad Bhagavad-Gita and Sanskrit ensures a balanced spiritual growth with the
knowledge of Vedic Astrology.
Introduction:
Dasa Pravesh Chakra is drawn for the moment a dasa begins. As usual we are left with many questions and
problems like what happens if the time is slightly wrong or if the ayanamsa is not right. Hence, we are having
many dilemmas to handle the vexed ayanamsa issue will never allow the use of Dasa Pravesh Chakra for
Vimsottari and Udu dasa or Kala Chakra Dasa. The moot point is that DPC is not only for Narayana dasa. It
is a peculiar dasa system by itself. This is justified by the fact that we construct a chart for the beginning of a
dasa and predict all that will happen using it. Sometime, we also don't need the main dasa antar , or pratyantar
or smaller periods.
Dasa Pravesh Chakra
The DPC which is so clearly stated in all standard texts, used to be purely Vedic system using traditional
Jyotish tools. It was so obvious that no authority felt it worth the trouble to specifically mention its importance
in making annual predictions. Now the point it that what we call a DPC is nothing but an annual chart called
Surya Pravesh or the Sun's return. This is used with the Sudarshana chakra where each dasa is for one year.
The dasa pravesh charka of Sudarshana dasa is infact same as the Varsha Pravesh charka, illustrated by the
Tajik school of thought and what is called as Muntha in Tajik is the dasa sign running at that time. Thus what
people call as Tajik is nothing new or different, except for those Yogas, which are very strange in their
nomenclature. If we could identify the years which are the turning points of life, then there would be no need
to draw 120 SPC (Surya Pravesh Chakras, the charts of annual solar return) to make life prediction s. For this
purpose we use DASA as the turning points of life occur when the DASA changes. Now, SPCs have relevance
only with NARAYANA, CHARA, SHOOLA and other such CRUCIAL dasa. Another very crucial dasa
system, where the DPC works the best is naisargika dasa, as the dasa is similar for all and the difference is seen
ONLY from DPC. Thus, the annual Solar return chart which was a VERY PAINFUL SYSTEM (imagine
calculating 120 charts for a life time with 16 divisions and all that!) was done away with and the DPC came
into the picture. The Sun rules Rasi and all Rasi Dasa generally need the DPC, except Udu dasa. Here by DPC
we mean SPC for the Dasa. In Rasi dasa, new dasa starts with Sun’s entry to its natal longitude, hence dasa
pravesh chakra becomes the Solar return chart at the commencement of the Dasa.
Divisions in DPC
The point with the DPC was that when it is used with a particular dasa, some divisions became more relevant
and all Divisional charts were not necessary. To illustrate this, let’s see this. When we are using DPC with
Shoola dasa, then we are concerned about the health and death. Thus on ly divisions we require are the
shastamsa or trimsamsa. Why should we need Chaturthamsa or Dasamsa!
Nakshatra – Vayu
The relationship and relative placement of the DPC lagna from the natal Lagna shall show, show fortunate the
dasa would be. Now, what happens if the DPC Lagna is in a dusthana from natal Lagna? This usually becomes
a bad year and forebodes misfortune. With DUSTHANA, we mean houses 6, 8 & 12 only for which the
KAARAKA is SATURN. That is why they are dusthana, and Saturn causes obstacles.
However, if the Vara is very evil and the DPC Lagna is in Kendra to Natal Lagna, what’s to be inferred? Health
is bad, but the general well being like fortune etc is there; Fame is not hampered, reputation intact etc. The
Lagna is the Bhava which has got the Gayatri, the Dhi and this can be a good or bad place for the Dhi to focus
during the period of the dasa. Now, coming back to the Lagna, the Lagna becomes the area where the
intelligence gets focused and this is to be seen w.r.t. natal chart only.
Rasi
Now come to the Moon position in sign. What happens if the Moon is in a Kendra/ Trikona from DPC
Lagna? This is a positive indication that the native has his mind in tune with the affairs of the world. Mind will
be in phase with Dhi Shakt i or the Intelligence. In normal parlance what we call the heart is in tune with the
brain.
What happens if the Moon is in Kendra/ Trikona from the planet or sign whose dasa has begun, and is yet is a
bad place from DPC Lagna? Now you see Moon indicates the tides of the world affairs. Remember
Shakespeare - there is a tide in the affairs of men which taken on the ebb leads to fortune and missed and the
whole journey of life is a waste. Now when we Study the Kalachakra carefully, we see that the Moon is in the
North direction. Now this direction is also lorded by Kubera the God of wealth. That’s why it shows finance
and prosperity or the lack thereof as Kubera is the lord of the direction ruled by Moon, and Kubera rules
3
Dasa Pravesh Chakra
wealth. One more point, Kubera rules trade. Wealth comes with trade and all HUMAN activity. What is
Kubera’s Vehicle? It is “Human Being”. It’s Terrible to think that we are just another Vaahana. Pathetic, but
this is true for 99.99% of human beings in this world. The Maharishis were right. He rides as money drives us,
makes us slaves, eh! Rather, he does not prefer a cart and likes to sit on the head.
Now lets see the significance of placement of Moon relative to Lagna of DPC and Dasa Rasi/ Graha. The
Moon in K/T to Dasa Rasi/graha is very good as this shows that the dasa shall be beneficial, however, the
native may n ot benefit as much if the same Moon is not well placed from the DPC Lagna.
Dwara/ Bahya
dasasrayo dwaram. Door is where the dasa rasi /planet is. Tathasthavitham Bahyam. The Bahya is the rasi
placed as many rasis from the dwara as the dwara is from Lagna.
The dasa sign itself is the Dwara (door) and the Bahya is the sign obtained by counting as many signs, from
Dwara as it has gained from the Lagna. Thus, if Aries ascendants and dasa is of the fourth signs Cancer, the
Dwara is Cancer and the Bahya is Libra (four signs from Cancer).
The same principle is used to determine the Deha and Jeeva. Deha is judged for health whereas the Jeeva is
judged for happiness and prosperity. (Narayana Dasa by Pt. Sanjay Rath)
The sign occupied by the lord of dasa Rasi is the Paka and the Arudha of the dasa rasi is the Bhoga (fruit). If
the Paka Rasi is Kendra or Trikona from Lagna and if the Bhoga Rasi is in a Kendra or Trikona from Arudha
Lagna, auspicious results obtain. (Jaimini Sutra)
Symbolically the Dwara Rasi is the doorway through which the soul is to leave the body and the Bahya Rasi is
the ‘outside world’ to which it departs initially. (Jaimini Sutra)
The fixed Karanas occur only once in a lunar month. They are as follows:
Shakuni: 2nd half of Krishna Chaturdasi.
Chatuspada: 1st half of Amavasya.
Naga: 2nd half of Amavasya.
Kimstughna: 1st half of Shukla Pratipad
These movable Karanas repeat in regular order starting from the second half of Shukla Pratipad to the first half
of the Krishna Chaturdasi.
Karana is seen for overall success during the dasa period. The movable Karanas excluding the Vishti Karana is
auspicious and show success, unless the lord is adversely afflicted in the DPC chart. Thus the placement of the
4
Dasa Pravesh Chakra
lord becomes very important and can modify the inherent nature of the angas to large extent, based on their
placements, aspect and associations.
Calculation of Yoga:
Yoga = Sun’s Longitude +Moon’s Longitude
The point is we were to first understand the strength of the Tattwa from the Panchanga, this will give the
general effects of the planets and then we were to compare the interaction between the Tattwa. Thereafter we
can easily see what benefits and what does not benefit from the Lagna etc placement.
Lets take the DPC of Ge Narayana dasa from 92 to 2002 in the following chart.

Time: 6:32:00

In Ge DPC, Tithi lord sun is exalted in Ar. What is the difference if the Lagna is Aries or Virgo; will it show
that the dasa will be financially good or bad? With the Aries Lagna, Sun is the 5th lord in the Lagna whereas
with Virgo Lagna Sun is 12th lord exalted in 8th. There is - a big difference in one case the financial jump is in
the same place while the other indicates outside, signified by the 12th house.
Vara lord is also sun again; 12th lord in 8th, exalted. What does it show regarding physical strength? Vara lord
shows excellent results but some excess heat caused due to 8th house placement.
The Yoga is Shukla whose lord moon in 5th from Lagna (but 8th from dasa rasi) with Saturn. What does it
show? Now the 5th placement from Lagna is a blessing no doubt. Excellent association, knowledge, popularity
etc. 8th from dasa rasi will also give good results. Marana karaka (Moon in the 8th) effects will not be there
from dasa rasi. He will have reverence for the divine mother (Saturn- Moon combination).
What do we see in placement from Lagna and what in placement from dasa rasi? Lagna placement shows what
will happen and dasa rasi placement shows whether you benefit or not. Akash Tattwa unites and brings people
together. Here the Tithi was that of the Sun - so pure. Thus, Akash Tattwa should be used for Association,
Relationship/Partnership, and Interaction etc. This explains why Atithi is considered as a Devata – “Atithi devo
bhavah”. Devata comes through people.
In his 2002-2005 Cancer dasa DPC, Tithi lord is Saturn (pournimasya), he is in 3rd from Pisces Lagna, that
isn't so good for finances. The Karana was Bava, ruled by the Su n. Garija in 1992-2002, Bava in 2002-2005,
So, what do you infer, Garija by Jupiter, Bava by the Sun. 92-2002 or 2002-05? In 2002-05, Sun is exalted in
2nd. Do you see the blessings of a powerful Sun coming during that period? It was the beginning of life. A big
and good beginning, in 1992-2002, Jupiter is in 12th from Virgo Lagna, Sun is also in 10th from dasa rasi,
quadrant. We know which planets to look at and infer instead of getting carried away with some Rajyoga etc.

In previous dasa, Jupiter was Karana lord; he was in 12th from Lagna (Vi) and 3rd from dasa rasi; both bad
placements. What would u say? After all, he had a lot of success in that dasa. 12th for Virgo is good (badhaka
in the 12th is good), the other is definitely bad. It shows that although success came to the place of work (good
placement from the DPC Lagna), or others were seeing the signs of success, he did not get his share of it
(Marana karaka placement from the Dasa sign).
The deities of the Nakshatra reveal a lot of information. This can show where our mind is focused, based on
the nature of the nakshatra and the deity governing it. The Nakshatra deities and their short description are as
follows:
The nakshatras are to be seen also relative to the natal nakshatra. To understand this maharishis have proposed
the Nava Tara scheme. Based on this scheme, the 27 nakshatras are divided into three groups of nine each,
having the following nomenclature:
1. Janma (Birth)
2. Sampat (Wealth)
3. Vipat (Danger)
4. Kshema (Well-Being)
5. Pratyak (Obstacles)
6. Saadhana (Achievement)
7. Naidhana (Death)
8. Mitra (Friend)
9. Paramamitra (Best Friend)
The Sampat, Kshema, Sadhana, Mitra and Parama Mitra are auspicious nakshatras and indicate good for the
dasa. These results can be modified based on the placement of the nakshatra lords. Here we shall be using the
vimshottari lordship of the nakshatras, as this is one dasa system, which applies to almost all of us, though with
slight medications.
The Astakavarga
What matters in the AV of DPC is the Dasa Rasi or the Dasa Graha. Here we have two Astakavarga, one of the
natal charts and another of the DPC. The natal AV should be used to see the overall strengths of planets, as if
the DPC were a transit chart. In the DPC AV, The real point is to see the dots in the Dasa sign; which planets
has contributed and how much! DPC-AV is temporary and only functions for the dasa duration. In the DPC –
AV, if the score reduces in a bhava, it becomes weaker and if it increases, it becomes stronger.
Dasa Trend
If the Dasa duration is divided into 12 parts then each of the part shall be influenced by the signs and houses in
the order of 4, 2, 8, 10, 12, 6, 5, 11, 1, 7, 9 and 3. Each sign can also be divided into three parts and they will
give the results in the following order:
Sirsodaya signs give results in the early part of the sign duration; Pristodaya signs give results during the last
part of the sign duration, whereas the Ubhayodaya signs give results during the middle part of the dasa (some
opine that the results are given through out the sign duration.

Dasa Pravesh Chakra
Jyotish shastras have said unanimously that the benefic results of the dasa shall be felt during the early part and
the malefic results will be felt in the latter part. In the remaining two part of the dasa, benefic results will be
given in the early part. Thus the results will be given by the lord or aspect/ conjunction, depending on who is
the most benefic among them. If the lord is benefic then the results will be given in the early part of the
remaining two parts and the converse is true if the conjunctions/ aspects are more benefic.
Remedies
DPC dasa rasi is the one, the PARTICULAR ADITYA for a person. He is the one through which all benefits
channel back to the natal chart as it links the two as they are the real givers in this world. Hence, this is
important to note here that the real remedy in any DPC is the Aditya mantra for the dasa rasi.
