Conditions for a strong Mahapurusha Yoga (MPY) Now after watching several sites and reading several articles, I have come to a few conclusions as conditions for a strong MPY. I have few doubts also. Please check whether these are correct or not. a.) Planet giving MPY should be in a Kendra from Lagna as well as Moon (Mantreshwar’s Phaladeepika) in its exaltation, mooltrikona or
own sign. b.) Planet should be close to the exaltation degree or in the mooltrikona degree for strength. c.) Strength of yoga increases if it’s a Yogakaraka Planet. d.) Planet should be placed in a similar s imilar fashion as in a.) in the Bhava Chalit Chart (This is an assumption of mine and I don’t know much about the Bhava Chalit Chart). e.) Planet should not be placed in Rashi Ras hi or Bhava Sandhi. (Confused about Saturn as its Mooltrikona degree starts from 0 to 20 dg Aq) f.) Planet should be exalted or in own sign in Navamsha and the Navamsha lord should be in a Kendra preferably in own sign or exalted sign in both Rasi & Navamsha if possible. g.) Being Vargottama increases strength. h.) Being Retrograde increases strength. (I have doubts on this) th
th
th
i.) Planet should preferably not be placed in 6 , 8 or 12 Navamsha unless in own sign, exaltation or vargottama position or a natural malefic (Hence Mars & Saturn) and if placed so the Navamsha lord of the planet must be in good dignity. (Solely my assumption)
j.) Planet must have relation with the Lagna or Lagna Lord by aspect or conjunction to fructify. (My assumption) k.) Planet should not have any malefic aspect. l.) Planet should gain Dig-Bala preferably and must have good Shadbala and other kinds of strengths. m.) Other planets must not be placed in their Marana Sthana (Jataka Parijata Sh: 34 to 36) n.) Sun & Moon should not be bereft of strength. (Kalyan Verma’s Saravali Sh: 37|28) o.) Planet should take part in other auspicious yogas preferably and the relevant das/bhukti must be running. p.) PANCHA MPY BHANGA CONCEPT An interesting but untested concept of Pancha Mahapurusha Yoga Bhanga, I came across was that of an article in Saptarishi Astrology site by Subramanium Shastry of India. Expanding the meaning of a shloka given in Chandra Kala Nadi Devakeralam (Vol -2, Part 1, Page 5 Verse 26) about the cancellation of Malavya Yoga, he applied it to all the 5 MPY’s.
It said that when the lord of the sign of exaltation of the Yoga giving planet is aspected or conjoined by the planet in whose sign this lord is debilitated in, then the effects of MPY gets cancelled. In the shloka I mention above it says that the effect of Malavya Yoga gets cancelled if Jupiter (the lord of sign where Venus is exalted) gets conjoined or aspected by Saturn (the lord of sign where Jupiter gets debilitated) but not the other way around.
Applying this similar concept to other MPY we get the following table:Planet (A)Yoga
Lord of Exaltation of A – (B)
Lord of Debilitation of B – (C)
Venus – Malavya Yoga Mars – Ruchaka Yoga Mercury – Bhadra Yoga Jupiter – Hamsa Yoga Saturn – Sasa Yoga
Jupiter (Pi)
Saturn (Cp)
Saturn (Cp)
Mars (Ar)
Mercury (Vi)
Jupiter (Pi)
Moon (Cn)
Mars (Sc)
Venus (Li)
Mercury (Vi)
Yoga Cancellation (B+C) or C aspects B Sa + Ju or Sa aspects Ju Ma + Sa or Ma aspects Sa Me + Ju or Ju aspects Me Mo + Ma or Ma aspects Ve + Me or Me aspecting Ve (astronomically not possible in D1 Chart)
This is an untested concept but a very good one. This was true in cases of a few horoscopes I managed to study secretly. About being used in the divisional charts I found out that it was true to some extent but it failed most notably in the case of Shri Aurobindo Ghosh’s D-9, D-10 & D-24 charts among others. I don’t have many resources to conduct a kind of research into this
