Yogada: The yoga givers

INTRODUCTION
Maharishi Parashara in BPHS discussed about some special lagnas such as Hora Lagna
(HL) and Ghatika Lagna (GL) and said that matters related to financial prosperity and
power/ status need to be respectively judged from these special lagnas. Whichever a
planet comes into contact with these special lagnas, it becomes specifically capable to
bestow prosperity on the native. The effect of the yogada can be felt during their
vimshottari dasa, in the antar of another auspicious planet, related to the yogada. It is
useful to find the intensity of the results, the yogadas can give. The following section
gives different level of yoga giver, whereby the ones mentioned later become
progressively stronger to bestow yoga on the native.
KARTA: If any planet becomes the lord of/ placed with/ aspects the Lagna, Hora Lagna
or Ghatika Lagna, then he becomes karta. Karta means the doer and thus, such planet can
become the doer of different actions in the native's life to bring material benefits to the
native related to the area implied by the associaton. If the association is with the Lagna,
then there is self development, if Hora Lagna, then improvement in financial prospects
and if the association is with the Ghatika Lagna, then there is improvement in power,
authority and status of the native.
KEVALA: Kevala means the exclusive one. If the subhapati (Moon sign lord) becomes
the Karta, then he takes up the role of a Kevala and gives great material prospects. This is
because, the subhapati has the responsibility to provide the materials for sustenance in
this world and as it becomes Karta, its ability to bestow material gains increases
substantially.
YOGADA: If any planet simultaneously aspects, conjoin, owns the Lagna and Hora
Lagna/ Ghatika Lagna, he becomes Yogada. Alongwith the ownership of the signs of
Lagna/ HL/ GL, ownership of 7th from these signs can also be considered. Yogada is
comprised of Yoga and Da, which means material prospects (yoga) giver (da). The
association with HL bestow financial gains and hence such yogada is known as Dhana
yogada and association with GL gives power and status and hence such yogada is knows
as Raja yogada.
KEVALA YOGADA: If the subhapati (Moon sign lord) becomes a yogada, he is
specifically equipped to give financial gains or status and hence known as Kevala Yogada
(exclusive giver of prosperity).
MAHA YOGADA: If a planet simultaneously aspects, placed in or own Lagna, HL and
GL (or seventh from them), then he becomes Mahayogada. The Mahayogada in its dasa
bestow excellent prosperity in the antarof an auspicious planet (related to the yogada by
aspect, conjunction or exchange).
KEVALA MAHA YOGADA: This planet has the highest capacity to bestow prosperity
to a native. During the dasa of such planet, the person can rise from riches even from

rags. Whenever the subhapati becomes the mahayogada, it is called the kevala
mahayogada
