Nabhasa Yogas

============
- Written by Sreenadh OG
These yogas can give results in any desa. We cannot say that only in this or that particular
desa a Nabhasa yoga will give result. This is
the opinion of acharyas like Varaha Mihira. Nabhasa yogas are not related to any
particular planet. Desa and Gochara are related to
planets that serve as the significator of something. Nabhasa yogas are not related to any
particular planet and that is why based on Desa or
Gochara we cannot locate the period in which these yogas will become fruitful. Because
of this fundamental flaw it is not right to give
Nabhasa yogas more importance than it deserves.
Nabhasa yogas are classified into four. They are-
1) Akrithi yogas (Told by: Kausika hora, Gargi hora, Brihat prajapathyam)
2) Sankhya yogas (Told by: Brihat prajapathyam)
3) Asraya yogas (Told by: Sathyacharya)
4) Dela yogas (Told by: Parasara)
All these yogas are related to the thought 'what special prediction should be given if the
planets are in 1 sign, 2 signs, 3 signs etc'.
If these signs happen to be kendra, trikona, panapara, apoklima, chara, sthira, ubhaya
some thought that special importance should be
given. Even though first indicated by Rishi horas, the Yavanacharyas are the one who
gave this system this much propaganda. By permutation
combination they have increased the number of Nabhasa yogas to 1800.
1) Akrithi yogas
-------------
Gada, Sakata, Vihaga (Antaja), Sringataka, Hala, Vajra, Yava, Abja (Kamala), Vapi,
Uoopa, Ishu, Sakthi, Denda, Nou, Koota, Cathra, Chapa,
Samudra, Chathra etc. All these yogas are produced as a result of Bhava-Planet
combination.
2) Sankhya yogas
-------------
Vallaki, Dama, Pasa, Kedara, Soola, Yuga, Gola. These are produced as a result of Sign-
Planet combination.
3) Asraya yogas
-------------
Ranju, Musala, Nala. These are produced as a result of Sign-Planet combination.
4) Dela yogas
-------------
Srek, Sarpa. These are produced as a result of Bhava-Planet combination.

These yogas and the hundreds of other yogas the names of which are not mentioned, all
comes under the simple and fundamental rules of
Bhava-Planet combination and Sign-Planet combination. Every learned astrologer know
that almost the whole astrology (or all the yogas
mentioned in astrology) comes under the classifications and results generated by:
 1) Sign
2) Bhava
3) Planet
4) Sign-Planet combination
5) Bhava-Planet combination
6) Sign-Bhava combination
7) Sign-Bhava-Planet combination
If you systematically study these classifications and the results generated by them, then
the whole astrology is almost over! Look at
this sloka of Vashishtahora-
Stanato bhavathaH khetaiH stanabhavanabhascharai
Stanabhava samayogat bhavakhechara yogathaH
Yogasyu shadvidha sthanakhecharabhyam to sapthadhaH
stanabhavagrehaiproktha yoga ye yogahethava
Meaning, 'the combinations can be classified into 7. They are 1) Sign 2) Bhava 3) Planet
4) Sign-Planet 5) Bhava-Planet 6) Sign-Bhava and 7)
Sign-Bhava-Planet'. Why this 7-fold classification is important? I will explain.
1) Sign
All the results I predict based on the classification and qualities of signs such as Chara,
Agneya, Gramya etc comes under this.
2) Bhava
If the lord of the 6th house is in 7th, I predict something. All such results come under
this.
3) Planet
If Sun-Moon, guru-Satern etc are together I predict something. All such 2 planet, 3 planet
etc combinations and the corresponding results
comes under this.
4) Sign-Planet
If Sun is in Aris I predict something. All such 'Asraya rasi phala' comes under this.
5) Bhava-Planet
If Jupiter is in 5th house I predict something. All such 'bhava phala' comes under this.
6) Bhava-Planet
If Ge comes as the 3rd house I predict something. All such results come under this.
7) Sign-Bhava-Planet
If mercury is in 7th house that happens to be Ge then I predict something. All such results
come under this.

Nabhasa yogas do not give importance to this fundamental principle (theoretical

foundation) and the Desa-Gochara constraints. This is
deviation from the fundamentals! When all the yogas that are considered as Nabhasa
yogas and all other yogas falls within the above
said seven-fold classification, why this separate naming as 'Nabhasa yogas'? It is a system
created based on a bit of theory (without
considering the total picture) and that is why impossible/improbable yogas like Vajra that
speaks about the position of Mercury in the 4th
house from sun comes under the category of Nabhasa yogas. Many acharyas tells us that
 as these Nabhasa yogas comes under the
classification Sign-planet/Bhava-Planet combinations, it is not important that we should
learn them separately. So I will ask you not
to give importance to Nabhasa yogas in natal charts or divisional charts and go back to
the ancient, fundamental, and theoretically
perfect system of seven-fold classification!!
Predictions related to all Nabhasa yogas are actually the ones that come within the above
said 7-fold classification and thus for sure
related to Desa and Gochara. Therefore Nabhasa yoga is a sure deviation from the
fundamentals. Yavanacharya and the like have
increased the number of Nabhasa yogas to 1800 by just applying the permutation
combination principles. If one is trying to predict all
results (related to Sign-Planet and Bhava-planet combinations) based on the Nabhasa
yogas then what is the use of whole astrology?
Therefore I would urge the learners not to apply Nabhasa yogas not only in divisional
charts but also in natal charts!!

Why Nabhasa yogas are 1800 in number?

===============================
Akrithi yogas = 23 nos.
Sankhya yogas = 127 nos. (permutation combination of basic 7 sankhya yogas)
Total = 127 + 23 = 150 yogas.
The signs are 12 in number. If we consider the possible combination of various signs as
well, then,
Total number of Nabhasa yogas = 150 x 12 = 1800 nos.
Hope this will makes things more clear. This also means that there are actually only 2
types of Nabhasa yogas. That is,
1) Akrithi yogas (Bhava-Planet combination)
2) Sankya yogas (Sign-Planet combination)
This makes clear why 'Saravali' states that 'the Yavanacharya has increased the number of
Nabhasa yogas to 1800 just by applying
permutation combination methods'.
