The stars always explain or indicate inner energy of a person. Ir Vedic Astrology Jyothis means 27 constellations. ‘These 27 groups or constellation are known as 27 Nakshatras “Naks” means sky, Akasha Shethra or sky map. In Jyothise Sastara without the knowledge of Nakshatra is called ¢ person without eyes. A Daivagna should know the meaning and significance of a constellation. The judgement o} horoscopes totally dependent on Nakshatras. Ifthe planets are moving towards a group of constellation, then the planets get into the grip of constellation and starts giving the significance Letus take Punarvasu Nakshatra for instance. In the most ancient culture, these Punarvasu stars were seen as, supreme twins and the roof of Jupitarian energy is linked to the constellation in the arc of Gemini. The names of the Nakshatra were fixed by our ancient so finely that it gives the meaning to the star. The star Punarvasu brings wealth and hence the name where Vasu means angel or demi god possessing desired qualities and Punar means again. This star also indicates positive energy or light which can help us to get over the darkness. The constellation Punarvasu represents energy and resources at one's command. While arriving or decoding the characteristics or significance of a constellation, we have to link the significance of the "constellation’s Lord and the sign in which the constellation Lord is placed. 1When a planet gets into the grip of Nakshatra, the planet may start giving results like Jupiter such as contentment, happiness, simpl spiritual living, works hard to remove any ne energies which may affect the growth of native. Sin Jupiter is lord, it will energise the native for spi practice meant to upgrade once selfand get enlight This Nakshatra is most suitable to perform ausp activities like marriage, Gruha Aramba, Gruhapra etc. Similarly we should know the significance of all and in which sign they are placed to know the cha: the person dominated by the constellation. constellation has got a specific name, symbol, deity, mode of functioning, caste, gender, the body directions, Gunas, vowels and alphabets, We all len Lord Sri Rama's Moon is in Punarvasu constellation, know Lord Sri Rama denotes contentment and auspiciousness wherever he goes.

Guruji Sri NVR mentioned a m: || oftimes that atthe time of birth the degree flagna ‘n lagna Nakshatra Pada. Depends on its strength, ¢ 2 —Jord may lead the person to success or failure. In this book, Ihave elaborately mentioned about Nakshatra’s behaviour. Guruji used to say repeatedly that a planet posited in a sign ‘may not give expected result. But its star lord has a say in deciding the result of that planet. Astrology and astronomy are dynamic in nature. Hence the results or the Phalitha depend solely on transits of planets ona particalar star. When planets are moving, one's results, whether positive or negative, are also dynamic in nature. This indicates that one’s suffering and enjoyment is also dynamic in nature. The said results are solely dependent on strength of the planets and their character waich is blended ‘with the sign itis posited in. Later in this book, I have given the principle tofind out the strength and Digbala of planet if they are in group or in a sign, In the running chapters, I have sufficiently explained the methods to find out Digbala of a planet, the ‘strength of a planet, how they snatch power from other planet, stellar theory, the flow chart given to identify Digbala. This may be useful for identifying strength easily. ‘The concepts of stellar astrology, advocated by Meena 2, ‘was totally based on the star lord and the Cunas obtained iby the planets, Digbala , the status and Uttamadrekkana, above all Jeeva and Sareera of the planet of the Bhava . On. linking all the above, one can arrive at the strength of a iBhava or planet or likely event. I have explained the significance of Nakshatras in detail in Chapter 2.

Taking this Kalamsa as q sensitive point, applied Jeeva Sareera and Gunas for the Kelam¢, while arriving at results for that bpsawa oF Karaka pl explained in my earlier book, SteiLar Effects in A* Jeeva and Sarcera, the result of praava totally dep® 4 jeeva and Sareera planets. In this book, Jeeva Sareera and unas are applied to the Kalamsa Lord and my consequent servation is that if the Jeeva and Sareera planets are inely placed and Guna obtained by the Kalamsa lord is esirable to the planet and also to the Bhava lord then the hava flourishes very well. If any Bhava or a planet gets ne Sathwic quality irrespective of whether the planet has ‘hamasic or Rajasic Guna then that Bhava gives the juired smooth results. If Kalamsa lord gets mixed Guna, results are also ‘ined in nature. Here I have used the term called major juna which means that the Kalamsa lord gets two same unas of the three step Gunas and third one will be Jifferent. This type of application will be useful for jentifying the status ofa person or status and strength of at particular Bhava or planets. ‘The significance of Nakshatra Padas is also plained. When a planet is in Binnapada, then that the 1et gives the result of the preceding or succeeding juses. This concept was deeply studied and explained by [eena 2 in “Practical Stellar Astrology”, a chart may be ontrolled by one or two planets through stellar lordship or mon Bhava lordship. This means that the planet which trols has got a say in delivering the results of a Bhava or raka. Itwas very interesting to note while analyzing some the charts a pure Thamasic planet of a Bhava or Bhava rd or Kalamsa Lord acquired pure Rajasic Guna and jelivered wonderful results. How could this happen? As 5per Gunas, Thamasic planet should not get Rajas and vice versa. But during analysis, it was found tt ‘Thamo Guna of a Bhava Jord and Kalamsa lord ¢ Rajo Guna but delivered good results because all th or Karaka are controlled by one Rajasic planet the the entire chart became Rajasic. Hence the Kalams Guna RRR has given good result. We are blending and Guna to judge whether a Bhava is going tod good or bad result. Similarly, if a Bhava lord ge Guna through the Kalamsa lord and if the Gu desirable to both of them, then the native gets ther particular Bhava very easily. Similarly, ifa Bhava obtained contrast Guna through the Kalamsalordt native will struggle to maintain significance of the The application theory of Guna and Digbala to thet Lord may help to analyse the results of Bhava ©: and the likely time when the results are expectec! the readers of this book to go through this book chs and understand the concepts of stellar astrology: the second chapter tofix the strength of planet, the of applying stellar Dighala and arrive at sensitin Jeeva and Sareera, and then find the Guna obtair= Kalamsalord to arrive at a correct result or Phala t= or Karaka planet.THE TRUTH ABOUT AMSA DIVISIONS BY MEENA 1 ‘The essence of Kalamsa or Sub lord theory exposed Astro world is reproduced here for your reading, the most portant sub divisions of a Nakshatra proportionate to fimsothari dasa system and given the name as Kalamsa or 1b lord theory. Once we appliy Stellar concepts like junas, Jeeva and Sareera planets and Digbala to Kalamsa xrd, we may know the strength of a Bhava or planet to ve at timing of events. With the blessing of both Sri. RG jeenal) and Sri. NVR (Meena 2), I had taken up ypplication of the Kalamsa/Sub Lord theory based on nas, Jeeva & Sareera and Digbala to arrive at strength timing ofevents. Naadi Astrology gives much importance to the fargottama positions. The strength of Vargottama is ivalent to Swakshetrafown house). Further, all fargottamas are not to be considered as good. They are be classified under three stages: Sathwika, Rajasa and jamasa Vargottamas. ‘There is much difference between a Sathwika fargottama and Thamasa Vargotama. Particularly, the saracter of the natives and status differ widely. Further, rgottama division alone cannot produce one and the e result, as it depends on the stellar strength, Sri Rama has his birth in Cancer and in Vargottama .a. Ravana had his birth in Libra and in Vargottama 7Lagna. Sri Rama's birth falls in Purarvasu 4th qua, Jupiter’s Sathwika constellation. Gana ofthe conste, is Deva Gana. This clearly indicates the character ag, to Sri Rama Ravana's birth falls in Chitha 3rd quay constellation of Mars(Thamasa) whose Gana is Rak, Therefore, the character of Ravana differs from Rim his end was also a bad one. The strength and pusityy constellation Lords play a prominent part. In the Rama, the lagna was occupied by the waxing Mong with Guru in exalted position. No doubt there isms-y of having Vargottama Cancer Lagna almost ec, but Moon cannot be had in one and the same po, Admitting that Moon can be had in the same Vigc, position once in 27 days, Jupiter cannot be in tha, degree closer to Moon as said before.
