Yogas -Vedic Astrology.

ॐ श्री गुरावे नमः !
ॐ नमः शिवाय!

Though there are hundreds of yogas due to hundreds of combinations of planets, lords of houses, aspects,  due to exchange of lords, Parivartan yogas, retro debilitated planet in kendra, and depositor of that planet also in kendra etc, so let us see how many yogas are possible.

1) Chandra Yogas, Moon as the reference point, and the most important combination with Moon would be of Jupiter, Chandra -Guru Yoga, i.e. Moon and Jupiter present in Lagna and well placed with out any malefic aspect or affliction.

2) Surya Yogas, Sun as the reference point and many yogas are possible with Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and more then two planet combinations also.

3) Panch Maha purush Yogas

Five planets, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn when present in their own house, or Moolatrikona or Exaltation house or in a kendra from Lagna or Moon Lagna give rise to panch maha purush Yogas, which are Bhadra, Malvaya, Ruchaka, Hamsa and Sasa Yoga respectively.

These yogas ensure a successful and prosperous life and out of these Hamsa and Malvya yoga are Raja yogas.

4) Nabasha Yogas: Nabasha means celestial or heavenly, so they are based four basic types namely Akrati (shape), Sankhya (number), Asraya (position),and dala (dal or bhava). 

32 varieties of Nabasha yogas has been explained by Parasara 

Akrati Yogas: Gada, Shakata, Shringataka, Vihaga, Hala, Vajra, Yava, Kamala, Vapi, Yoopa, Shara, Shakti, Danda, Nauka, Koota, Chhatra, Dhanusha, Ardhachandra, Chakra and Samudra

Sankhya Yogas:Dama, Pasa, Kedara, Shoolaa, Yuga and Gola yoga

Asraya yogas: Rajju, Musala and Nala

Dala Yogas: Mala and Sarpa

5) Raja Yogas: Combinations of planets which bring a huge change in the life of the native in terms of standard of living or status.
6) Dhana Yogas: Combinations of planets from Lagna, 2nd house, 5th house, 7th house, 9th house, 11th house, which bring good fortune and wealth.
7) Arista Yogas: Combinations of planets which bring misfortune and bad luck, causing hardship.
8) Daridra Yogas:Combination os planets which bring poverty and misery.
9) Reka Yogas: Combinations of planets in their debilitation causing hardship.
10) Parvarajya Yogas or Sanyasa yogas: Combinations of plets which make a native renounce the world and live a life of a sanyasi or ascetic

Small point to remember about the level of phala these yogas bestow when in force, for a Prime Minister Raja Yoga will be way different when compared to the Raja yoga of a office clerk, both might have same intensity of Raja yoga, so people mostly misunderstand about Raja Yogas that it will turn them into a King of some sort. :-))

Same thing is true about Dhana Yogas or for that matter any small or big yoga.

For the complete list of all yogas please visit http://www.vedicscholar.com/allyogas.php?ltr=6 

so that I don't have to list them all over again.

I think what matters most is the position of the planet in question, its strength, it being free from any afflictions, and its depositor's similar position, only exception is Neech Bhanga Yoga, where a debilitated planet might give some thing which no other planet can give in any kind of Yoga.

Then repetition of such position, strength and aspects in other important charts like D-9, basically the strength increase if there is Vargottam planets in multiple divisional charts.

Most important Dhana yoga emerges with the proper connections between, Lagna, 5th bhava, 9th Bhava, 7th Bhava, and 11th Bhava. 5th and 9th bhavas are Lakshmi sthana.

Most important Raja Yogas emerges with proper combinations between, Lagna, 5th Bhava, 7th Bhava, Kendras, Exalted and Debilitated planets, Debilitated retro planets.

All charts have at least 10 yogas, and most of them have some form of Raja yoga, Raja Sambandha, Viparita Raja yoga, even Parivartana yogas etc, and almost every one of them are currently struggling in their lives and majority people start getting some good satisfying results in their 50's.

Which means combinations are always there for Raja Yoga etc, but there are bhadhaka's also blocking them to pass, or they are delayed if there is strong Saturn influence, so just because there is a combination for Raja yoga does not mean it will happen or even if it happens the intensity of phala (fruits) might be too low to even register or visible, same thing for Daridra yoga.

For bankruptcy, see if the 5th lord is placed in 8th or 12th lord is placed in 8th, with out any benefic's aspect.

Questions as Comments-Astrology

ॐ श्री गुरावे नमः !

ॐ नमः शिवाय!

Following are the questions people have asked and placed them in various posts as comments.


I think my daughter has tahshak kala sarppa yoga, but venus also with ketu in first house(makara lagna) and from 2nd to 6th house are empty she has rahu in 7 th house all other planet are distributed between 7 th and 12 th house, but gulika placed on third house , is this give a strong effect of kala sarappa yoga? any one tell me how may years or in what age that affecting on her ? and she also have raja yoga , and gaja kesari yoga in the chart, on Kal Sarpa Yoga-I



Ans: First thing you have to see is the degrees of Venus and Ketu in First House, Rahu kind of stops effecting after 42 years of Native's age, and Ketu after 48 Years of Native's life, so everyone gets freedom from this Rahu-Ketu deadlock after 48 years of their life, probably why most people after 48 years of their life do better in all spheres of life, but in case of people with Kaal Sarpa Yoga, the deadlock is very hard and struggle is also very hard, and since this condition is present from birth, the effects should also be present right from the birth, and all other planets are swallowed by the Rahu over and over again leaving them useless, the biggest challenge for the native is to break loose with his or her will power, and wonders can happen, and if they leave everything to fate, they have to wait till the grip of Rahu-Ketu loosens after 48 years.

And

View I- Takshak Kal Sarpa Yoga> When Rahu is in the seventh house and Ketu in the first house this yoga is formed. The native has speculative tendencies and can lose wealth by way of wine, women and gambling. There is marital discord in the life of the native.
View II - Takshak Kal Sarpa Yoga - Rahu in seventh house, Ketu in first: There is a need for the person to be extra careful in matter relating to married life and business partnerships.

And Raja Yoga also does not mean she will become some king or queen, it means she might be treated ike a king in which ever sphere of life she lives.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Sir, as you mentioned that 11. SUN-MERCURY-VENUS YOGA. If Mercury, Sun and Venus be together, the native will be insatiable, talkative, intent on wandering and subjected to grief on account of women. does this mean that this person will never be married or if married cannot live happily... what are the other effects of this type of conjunction on Three and more than three Planets in one House at the time of Birth

Marriage is seen with UL, AL, 7th house, Venus, Moon, Ascendant, 4th house, 12th house etc, and this conjunction effects the house in which the three planets are posited, and the general effects are as given above, and these effects might get highlighted when the three planets transit in conjunction, otherwise the general effect remains, to see if the native will get married or not, or his marriage will survive or not, will he derive happiness from his marriage or not, other areas of the chart needs to be examined, like 2nd hosue, 12th house, and also please read 7th house.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have sani and ketu in 7th house...is there any problem?

Ans: Saturn in 7th house with Ketu, is not a very good position, since Saturn will give negative effects, Ketu will reduce the effects of the house and Saturn.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have mars-mer-nep-rahu-M.C-sun-venus in 10th house can u guide me what will be affect of so many planets.

In Vedic Astrology, we do not have Neptune as a planet, and Rahu is a Shadow planet so should not be counted, so many planets in 10th house means multiple options and multiple problems or challenges to overcome,

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have six planet i.e. sun-mercury-venus-satrn-moon-jupiter in 4th house i.e. libra. what will be the career prediction for me actually i want to be an IAS.

IAS is an administrative job related with governing and authority, 10th house is what should be looked at, 4th House is for property, relations,
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you have such a yoga, am I to understand that there will be no enemity between the benefics and malefics in the same house? I have SUN-MERCURY-JUPITER-VENUS YOGA in my 11th house under Scorpio, which is meant to be a good thing but then again MARS the Lord of Scorpio, is in 12th with KETU. I have been told by an astrologist that if I start a business, I will go bankrupt i.e. spend more monay than I will make. Any opinions? on Three and more than three Planets in one House at the time of Birth
11th House is sure highlighted, with multiple planets, and Mars is lord of Scorpio, and Mars gets exalted in Capricorn, which is your Ascendant, and Mars is posited in 12th house Saggitarius with Ketu, business and things related with business is seen from Hora Lagna as the reference point in addition to the 4th, 7th and 11th house, need more information to add anything more then this.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Namaste, I have a question, I have four graha in my labha bhava (Surya Guru, Shukra and Budh); however they are all under Scorpio and my Mangal is in 12th with Ketu, so does that mean that the 12th House will have more effect? Thank you, Vinay onLabha Bhava and Vyaya Bhava.

11th House is highlighted, with multiple planets, and Mars is lord of Scorpio, and Mars gets exalted in Capricorn, which is your Ascendant, and Mars is posited in 12th house Saggitarius with Ketu, business and things related with business is seen from Hora Lagna as the reference point in addition to the 4th, 7th and 11th house, need more information to add anything more then this.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
What does two or more planet in a house mean? at Same degrees? or just in a house at varying degrees. some books refer certain orbs for conjuction. if planets are having more orbs e.g. mars at 5.5 deg and venus at 21 deg. what is this combination called? what wud be the effect? Wud be grateful for explaination. Arvind, New Delhi on Three and more than three Planets in one House at the time of Birth

Please read Avasthas of Planets in my blog, under fundamentals of astrology, in layman terms,
imagine each planet has a torch in their hands and at particular degrees the light from the torch falls like a full moon on certain area of your life specified by the house the planet is posited in, so each planet based on these degrees can behave like a child if it is less then 5 degree, and like an old person if the degrees is above 25, and as we know only youth gives maximum output, so will the planets, and when it comes to conjunction or two or three planets together, then you will have see the relations among them and with the house and also with the planet watching them with the torch, ;-), all this will effect the output of those planets with respect to the house, position from ascendant and Moon.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hello Readers, I have libra lagna and SUN-MARS-MERCURY IN 10TH HOUSE(CANCER SIGN), What are the effect of this tripal conjunction Thanking You, Digant Shah on Three and more than three Planets in one House at the time of Birth

Strength of the planet is seen with number and avastha of the planets, so three planets in 10th house certainly means 10th house is the most strongest house in your chart, strength can be positive and negative, Sun gets debilitated in Libra, and see ithe gap in degrees between Mars, Mercury and Sun, general rule is less then 13 degrees they will be combust, which means they are burning and are useless, and also see if any planet like Jupiter (7th, 5th or 9th house dhristi) and Venus (7th house dhristi) are watching them, which will reduce the hardship, if they are auspicious and are not afflicted with Rahu or Ketu or Saturn, etc, and also if Saturn is watching them then your 10th house will throw challenges at you andyou will be like a gladiator in a ring. :-))

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sir, I have 'Ketu' in the 9th (Meen Rashi) and Jupiter in Ascendent (Cancer). I lost my father in the 26th year of my life. He was 76 years. I want to know if ketu will affect my luck? on Randhr Bhava and Dharma Bhava
Ketu in Dharma bhava with Jupiter in Lagna (cancer) Jupiter gets exalted in Cancer, and it has 9th house dhristi on 9th house and Ketu, Ketu is a shadow planet, it mimics the effects of the house or the planet with which it is posited, and it kind of applies breaks on the effects there by reducing them, you will have see what was the Vimsottari Mahadasha and Antara Dasha when your father passed away, luck means many things, which can be seen from Lagna, 2nd house, 3rd house, 4th house, 5th house, 7th house, 9thhouse, 10th house, 11th house, and Navamsa chart.

Wonderful work and great contribution...my dob 14th dec 1985 11:45 am (vellore , tamilnadu), i have rahu in 3rd house, ketu and mars in 9th, venus,mercury,satrun, and sun in 10th, moon in 11, jupiter in 12...right now i am running rahu mahadasa from 4th quarter of 2007...can u predict something regarding my career..i completed my b.tech..but no job.looking it for last two years on Karma Bhava- 10th House- House of Action/ Social Status/Fame /Authority/Career/ Honors
I think Albert Einstein had Venus, Mercury, Saturn and Sun in 10th House, Pisces, where Mercury gets debilitated, so you have to see which house is your 10th house, and how other planets are connecting with it, Rahu in 3rd is a good position, in fact people with Rahu in 3rd house play the role of Rahu for others, only concern is Jupiter in 12th, too much descipline in the bed is not good, marital life suffers, see for your Atmakarak and where it is placed in Navamsa chart. :-)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi, your study w.r.t bhava is really great! I have moon, jupiter, mars, saturn in my tenth house; venus in it's own, seventh house; Sun and Mercury in 8th; rahu in 9th and ketu in 3rd. I am seriously rapped by my life in every sense whether it's family, education, relations, money, every thing. will you be able to interpret any thing relating to the position of my stars. If you could convince about any planetary position in my chart. I WILL... I dont have words. Regards, Manoj manoj.shrm@yahoo.com on Karma Bhava- 10th House- House of Action/ Social Status/Fame /Authority/Career/ Honors







Your 10th house is Libra, and Saturn gets exalted in Libra, and Sun gets debilitated in Libra, and Sun is in 8th with Mercury, your life will be a roller coaster ride for sure, and I would suggest develop a great sense of humour and enjoy the ride. :-)) and welcome to the club.



-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


This is seriously exciting . My jupiter, mercury and venus are in 10th house and i find your interpretations exciting. Could please throw some light on Hamsa Yoga ?with regardsRomilromeil@in.com on Karma Bhava- 10th House- House of Action/ Social Status/Fame /Authority/Career/ Honors
Hamsa Yoga: Jupiter in 1,4,7 or 10th (kendra) from the Ascendant or Moon in Cancer, Saggitarius and Pisces, gives the Hamsa yoga effect, which bestows the native with aishwarya, so please check the position of the moon.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What if there is a conjuction of saturn venus and ketu in 3rd house from the ascedant(gemini)and mercury and sun conjuction in 2nd from asc. on Three and more than three Planets in one House at the time of Birth
Gemini Lagna, Lord is Mercury, Mercury and Sun in 2nd house, lord is Moon, Saturn, Venus and Ketu in 3rd House lord is Sun, where is Moon? what are the degrees of Sun, and Mercury,? and most important where is Jupiter and what is its Avastha?.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Effects of Birth in Gemini Ascendant One born in Gemini Ascendant will have a dear wife, be fond of ornaments, charitable, respectable, will have two mothers, will be favorable even to his enemies, be interested in music, fine arts, Vedas, Shastra's, amusement, poetry etc., gentle, fond of beautification, be conceit, truthful, impatient, will have evil sons, be crafty, will have a few relatives, will possess limbs of irregular sizes, will have round eyes, be fierce in appearance, will destroy even fearful enemies and will be endowed with lands, jewels, gold etc.
Saturn in 3rd house will have dhristi on 5th, 9th and 12th house from Lagna, and the general rule for three planets, Saturn, Venus and Ketu are.
If Venus occupies the 3rd, the native will be happy, rich, conquered by women, be vile, little enthusiastic and will be bereft of luck and paraphernalia.

If Saturn occupies the 3rd, the native will be dark in complexion, will maintain physical cleanliness, be base, will have indolent attendants, be courageous, charitable and will have great intelligence

If Saturn occupies the 2nd Bhava , the native will have an ugly face, will enjoy worldly prosperity, be devoid of his own men, will render justice, will later on (in the course of his life) go to other countries and will earn money and conveyances.
If Mercury is in the 2nd Bhava, the native will earn wealth through his own wisdom, will enjoy food and drinks, be auspicious in speech and will have good course of conduct
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Great article. Am curious, is it possible for a person to have two sade sati's [7 1/2 x 2 =15] back to back? Hmmm....Cheers, Kapil. on Sade Sati- Kantaka Sani - ( 7,1/2 years of Saturn)

Ans: Sade Sati basically means seven and half years of Saturn transit through the Ascendant, meaning Saturn when transits through 12th house, Ascendant and 2nd house takes 7 and half years, since there is only one Ascendant in a chart there can not be two Sade Sati's back to back effecting the Ascendant, but if Saturn also causes similar effects when it transits through the house where Moon is posited, or Sun is posited, and if that house is 4th house from Ascendant, then back to back two Sade Sati's can happen one effecting the Ascendant and the second effecting the Moon and house, but I think more then Ascendant and Moon, the status of Saturn in the chart makes the difference, like a strong Saturn will cause more havoc in the natives life then the debilitated Saturn, and then also one should see where Jupiter and Venus are posited and in what avastha.

Lagnas Other (Other Ascendants)

ॐ श्री गुरावे नमः !
ॐ नमः शिवाय!

Like the normal Lagna, there are many other reference points to get an idea of various other characteristics of a native with much more clarity, like his basic mentality towards various spheres of life, his business ideology, prospects in career, business, wealth, inheritance, his political career, or prospects in politics, power, fame, authority etc.



Lagna is a reference point to read the lines ahead, Ascendant with Moon as focal point is the normal Lagna as per Vedic Astrology, and this gives us the idea about the general characteristics of a native with respect to the 12 spheres of life manifested by 12 zodiac signs and houses (Bhavas).

Bhava Lagna. From sunrise to the time of birth every 5 Ghatis (or 120 minutes) constitute one Bhava Lagna. Divide the time of birth (in Ghatis, Vighatis etc.) from sunrise by 5 and add the quotient etc. to Surya’s longitude as at sunrise. This is called Bhava Lagna.


Bhava Lagna influences your nature.

Hora Lagna (HL) as you see in any vedic charts is a special lagna calculated as given below,

Hora Lagna. Again from sunrise till the time of birth Hora Lagna repeats itself every 2½ Ghatis (i. e. 60 minutes). Divide the time past up to birth from sunrise by 2½ and add the quotient etc. in Rāśis, degrees and so on to the longitude of Sūrya, as at the sunrise. This will yield Hora Lagna in Rāśi, degrees etc.


Hora Lagna influences earnings, expenditure, savings, scope for career growth and profit or loss in business, so people looking for the status of these characteristics in their chart, then they should take the house with Hora Lagna (HL) as reference point or as Ascendant.

Ghati Lagna (Ghatik Lagna or GL). This Lagna changes along with every Ghati (24 minutes) from the sunrise. Note birth time in Ghatis and Vighatis. Consider the number of Ghatis past, as number of Rāśis, or Ghati Lagnas. The Vighatis be divided by 2 to arrive at degrees and minutes of arc, past in the said Ghati Lagna. The product so arrived in Rāśis, degrees and minutes be added to Sūrya’s longitude, as at sunrise, to get the exact location of Ghati Lagna. So say Maharishis, like Narada.


Ghati Lagna shows the mentality of a native towards fame, power, authority and status, and this is important to see the career of a politician, this will also decide how a person deals with people with power/status or authority.

A person with strong GL might not fall at the feet of people with social power or status, even though this natives status might be very ordinary, and a person with weak GL might fall at the feet of another person even before the person with some social power passes by, even though he might be a son or daughter of a president or a business tycoon. :-)))

Sri Lagna, (SL) Sri lagna is related with Lakshmi which is the blessings of Lord Vishnu, so Sri Lagna gives or enhances the effect of other lagnas and planets.

Sri or Sree is consort of Lord Vishnu, If Lord Vishnu is with Sri Lakshmi, that would mean wealth with blessings, so it would also influence the marital relations, and prosperity, and the mentality of the native towards material aspects of life.

Arudha Lagna: (AL) This shows how others around you perceive you in this world, meaning how you manifest yourself in this world, though your inner self might be entirely different, a very strong person internally might be perceived as a coward by the world and the true self is revealed only after the world interacts, and vice versa, or a very dumb person might rule the world as a genius, and a genius as a dumb person all this can be seen with the Arudha Lagna. (AL), like any lagna point, AL should be seen as another point of reference.

Upa pada Lagna (UL), This lagna shows the nature, life or longevity, and health of the marriage or relations, 7th from UL, gives type of marriage, and 8th from UL gives the health of marriage.

So a complete study of a chart in a general view is complete after it is read from all these angles, then for further minute and specific details we have division charts.

Chandra Lagna: Will show the prospects of marriage and relations when taken as a reference point and rest of the houses counted as 2nd to 2th from Moon.

Surya Lagna: Will show the prospects of power and should be taken as the first reference point like GL, and rest of the houses should be counted 2nd to 12th from Sun.

Indu Lagna: (IL) Will show how much money or wealth you might earn, provided the field of earning is correct as per your chart.

Varnad Dasha. Just by knowing which one can deal with the longevity of a native. If the natal Lagna is an odd Rasi, count directly from Mesh (Aries)to natal Lagna.


If the natal Lagna is an even Rasi, count from Meen (Pisces) to the natal Lagna in the reverse order. Similarly, if the Hora Lagna is an odd one, count from Mesh to Hora Lagna in direct order.

If the Hora Lagna is an even one, count from Meen to Hora Lagna in the reverse order. If both the products are odd Rasis, or even Rasis, then add both the figures. If one is odd and the other is even, then know the difference between the two products. If the latest product in this process is an odd one, count so many Rasis from Mesh in a direct manner; if an even one, count so many Rasis from Meen (Pisces) in reverse order. The Rasi so known will be the Varnad for Lagna.

Effects of Varnad.


Out of the two, viz. natal Lagna and Hora Lagna, whichever is stronger, from there Varnad starts. If the natal Lagna is an odd Rasi, the counting of Dashas is clockwise, otherwise anticlockwise. Lagna Dasha years will equal the number of Rasis, intervening between the natal Lagna and Varnad. Similarly for other Bhavas (Houses).

Should a Kon (Trine) from Lagna’s Varnad be occupied, or drishtied by a malefic, the native will live only up to the Dasha of the said Rasi.

Just, as the Rudra Graha in Sool Dasha is capable of causing evils, the above-mentioned Grahas related to Varnad’s Kon be treated. The Varnad Lagna be considered, as natal Lagna, while the 7th from Varnad will denote the longevity of the spouse, the 11th longevity of elder brothers and sisters, the 3rd longevity of younger brothers and sisters, the 5th the longevity of sons, the 4th longevity of mother and the 9th longevity of father. The Dasha of the Sool Rasi will inflict greater evils.

Similar assessments be made with reference to the Varnad of each Bhava, commencing the first, and the evils and goods due to a nativity be known. These Varnad Dashas are only for Bhavas (Rāśis) and not their occupants. The sub period of each Dasha will be one twelfth of the Dasha and the order will also be clockwise, or anti-clockwise, as explained earlier. The natal Lagna is to be calculated according to birth place, while Bhava Lagna, Hora Lagna etc. are common to all places.

Varnad Lagna, is also related to the varna of the person, there are four varna, Kshatriya, Brahmin, Vaisya and Shudra, which tell us about the kind of work the native will be given.

Varnad lagna influences the mentality of the native with respect to the behaviour in various social situations, few might immediately sit on the floor the moment they come across a rich person, few might stand next to him and few might just avoid such people, all this happens in the mental plane.


Paka Lagna: Paka Lagna is that house or Rasi where the lagneca or lord of the lagna is posited.

e.g. Lord of Gemini is Mercury and if Mercury is posited in Pisces, or Meen Rasi then Meen is Paka Lagna, and lord of Meen, Jupiter is Pakeca or lord of paka lagna.


In a chart, four points should be well placed to sail smoothly through the arena called Earth, Lagna, Paka Lagna, Lagneca, and Paka lagneca.

Paka lagna: (PL) gives a idea about the ideal career, or the field where the mind is applying the intelligence, it also shows your likes and dislikes, fantasies and desires, a person with genius mind can apply his intelligence in any field he desires, and he can excel in that field with out help, where as a weak paka lagna might cause problems to a native to survive in his own field of expertise, so they might look for talented people to ride on their backs. :-))

Pranapada Lagna: (PP) This lagna shows the amount of positive and negative energy in your life and its influence.

Use of Special Lagnas. Keeping the Grahas at birth, as it is, prepare various Bhava Kundalis with respect to each special Lagn and analyze, as done for the natal Lagna.

भज गोविन्दं

ॐ नमः शिवाय!


भज गोविन्दं भज गोविन्दं,
गोविन्दं भज मूढ़मते।
संप्राप्ते सन्निहिते काले,
न हि न हि रक्षति डुकृञ् करणे ॥१॥

(1)O deluded minded friend, chant Govinda (Govinda is none but one and only one God), worship Govinda, love Govinda as memorizing the rules of grammar cannot save one at the time of death. ॥1॥. ( Save you from what?, death, no, something more superior then death)


मूढ़ जहीहि धनागमतृष्णाम्,
कुरु सद्बुद्धिमं मनसि वितृष्णाम्।
यल्लभसे निजकर्मोपात्तम्,
वित्तं तेन विनोदय चित्तं ॥२॥

2) O deluded minded ! Give up your lust to amass wealth. Give up such desires from your mind and take up the path of righteousness. Keep your mind happy with the money which comes as the result of your hard work. 

नारीस्तनभरनाभीदेशम्,
दृष्ट्वा मागा मोहावेशम्।
एतन्मान्सवसादिविकारम्,
मनसि विचिन्तय वारं वारम् ॥३॥

(3)Do not get attracted on seeing the parts of woman's anatomy under the influence of delusion, as these are made up of skin, flesh and similar substances. Deliberate on this again and again in your mind. ॥3॥.
नलिनीदलगतजलमतितरलम्,
तद्वज्जीवितमतिशयचपलम्।
विद्धि व्याध्यभिमानग्रस्तं,
लोक शोकहतं च समस्तम् ॥४॥

(4)Life is as ephemeral as water drops on a lotus leaf . Be aware that the whole world is troubled by disease, ego and grief. ॥4॥

यावद्वित्तोपार्जनसक्त:,
तावन्निजपरिवारो रक्तः।
पश्चाज्जीवति जर्जरदेहे,
वार्तां कोऽपि न पृच्छति गेहे ॥५॥

(5)As long as a man is fit and capable to earn money, everyone in the family show affection towards him. But after wards, when the body becomes weak no one enquires about him even during the talks. ॥5॥
यावत्पवनो निवसति देहे,
तावत् पृच्छति कुशलं गेहे।
गतवति वायौ देहापाये,
भार्या बिभ्यति तस्मिन्काये ॥६॥

(6)Till one is alive, family members enquire kindly about his welfare . But when the vital air (Prana) departs from the body, even the wife fears from the corpse. ॥6॥

बालस्तावत् क्रीडासक्तः,
तरुणस्तावत् तरुणीसक्तः।
वृद्धस्तावच्चिन्तासक्तः,
परे ब्रह्मणि कोऽपि न सक्तः ॥७॥

(7) In childhood we are attached to sports, in youth, we are attached to woman . Old age goes in worrying over every thing . But there is no one who wants to be engrossed in Govind, the parabrahman at any stage. ॥7॥
का ते कांता कस्ते पुत्रः,
संसारोऽयमतीव विचित्रः।
कस्य त्वं वा कुत अयातः,
तत्त्वं चिन्तय तदिह भ्रातः ॥८॥

(8)Who is your wife ? Who is your son? Indeed, strange is this world. O dear, think again and again who are you and from where have you come. ॥8॥

सत्संगत्वे निस्संगत्वं,
निस्संगत्वे निर्मोहत्वं।
निर्मोहत्वे निश्चलतत्त्वं
निश्चलतत्त्वे जीवन्मुक्तिः ॥९॥

(9) Association with saints brings non-attachment, non-attachment leads to right knowledge, right knowledge leads us to permanent awareness, to which liberation follows. ॥9॥

वयसि गते कः कामविकारः,
शुष्के नीरे कः कासारः।
क्षीणे वित्ते कः परिवारः,
ज्ञाते तत्त्वे कः संसारः ॥१०॥

(10)As youth with out lust, lake with out water, the relatives with out wealth are meaningless, similarly this world ceases to exist, when the Truth is revealed? ॥10॥

मा कुरु धनजनयौवनगर्वं,
हरति निमेषात्कालः सर्वं।
मायामयमिदमखिलम् हित्वा,
ब्रह्मपदम् त्वं प्रविश विदित्वा ॥११॥

(11)Do not boast of wealth, friends (power), and youth, these can be taken away in a flash by Time . Knowing this whole world to be under the illusion of Maya, you try to attain the Absolute. ॥11॥

दिनयामिन्यौ सायं प्रातः,
शिशिरवसन्तौ पुनरायातः।
कालः क्रीडति गच्छत्यायुस्तदपि
न मुन्च्त्याशावायुः ॥१२॥

(12)Day and night, dusk and dawn, winter and spring come and go. In this sport of Time entire life goes away, but the storm of desire never departs or diminishes. ॥12॥

द्वादशमंजरिकाभिरशेषः
कथितो वैयाकरणस्यैषः।
उपदेशोऽभूद्विद्यानिपुणैः,
श्रीमच्छंकरभगवच्चरणैः ॥१२अ॥

(12A)This bouquet of twelve verses was imparted to a grammarian by the all-knowing, god-like Sri Shankara. ॥12A॥
काते कान्ता धन गतचिन्ता,
वातुल किं तव नास्ति नियन्ता।
त्रिजगति सज्जनसं गतिरैका,
भवति भवार्णवतरणे नौका ॥१३॥

(13).Oh deluded man ! Why do you worry about your wealth and wife? Is there no one to take care of them? Only the company of saints can act as a boat in three worlds to take you out from this ocean of rebirths. ॥13॥

जटिलो मुण्डी लुञ्छितकेशः, क
ाषायाम्बरबहुकृतवेषः।
पश्यन्नपि च न पश्यति मूढः,
उदरनिमित्तं बहुकृतवेषः ॥१४॥

(14) Matted and untidy hair, shaven heads, orange or variously coloured cloths are all a way to earn livelihood . O deluded man why don't you understand it even after seeing.॥14॥ 

अङ्गं गलितं पलितं मुण्डं,
दशनविहीनं जतं तुण्डम्।
वृद्धो याति गृहीत्वा दण्डं,
तदपि न मुञ्चत्याशापिण्डम् ॥१५॥

(15) Even an old man of weak limbs, hairless head, toothless mouth, who walks with a stick, cannot leave his desires. ॥15॥
अग्रे वह्निः पृष्ठेभानुः,
रात्रौ चुबुकसमर्पितजानुः।
करतलभिक्षस्तरुतलवासः,
तदपि न मुञ्चत्याशापाशः ॥१६॥

(16)One who warms his body by fire after sunset, curls his body to his knees to avoid cold; eats the begged food and sleeps beneath the tree, he is also bound by desires, even in these difficult situations . ॥16॥
कुरुते गङ्गासागरगमनं,
व्रतपरिपालनमथवा दानम्।
ज्ञानविहिनः सर्वमतेन,
मुक्तिं न भजति जन्मशतेन ॥१७॥

(17) According to all religions, without knowledge one cannot get liberated in hundred births though he might visit Gangasagar (This place is in west bengal province of India) or observe fasts or do charity. ॥17॥.¸
सुर मंदिर तरु मूल निवासः,
शय्या भूतल मजिनं वासः।
सर्व परिग्रह भोग त्यागः,
कस्य सुखं न करोति विरागः ॥१८॥

(18)Reside in a temple or below a tree, sleep on mother earth as your bed, stay alone, leave all the belongings and comforts, such renunciation can give all the pleasures to anybody. ॥18॥


योगरतो वाभोगरतोवा,
सङ्गरतो वा सङ्गवीहिनः।
यस्य ब्रह्मणि रमते चित्तं,
नन्दति नन्दति नन्दत्येव ॥१९॥

(19)One may like meditative practice or worldly pleasures , may be attached or detached. But only the one fixing his mind on God lovingly enjoys bliss, enjoys bliss, enjoys bliss. ॥19॥

भगवद् गीता किञ्चिदधीता,
गङ्गा जललव कणिकापीता।
सकृदपि येन मुरारि समर्चा,
क्रियते तस्य यमेन न चर्चा ॥२०॥

(20)Those who studied even little of Gita (Sacred book of Hindu's), drank just a drop of water from the holy Ganga, worship Lord Krishna with love even once, Yama, the God of death will not discuss about them ॥20॥

पुनरपि जननं पुनरपि मरणं,
पुनरपि जननी जठरे शयनम्।
इह संसारे बहुदुस्तारे,
कृपयाऽपारे पाहि मुरारे ॥२१॥

(21)Born again, die again, lay again in the mother's womb, it is indeed difficult to cross this world. O Murari ! (Krishna) please help me to cross this illusion through your mercy. ॥21॥


रथ्या चर्पट विरचित कन्थः,
पुण्यापुण्य विवर्जित पन्थः।
योगी योगनियोजित चित्तो,
रमते बालोन्मत्तवदेव ॥२२॥

(22) One who wears cloths ragged due to chariots, move on the path free from virtue and sin, keeps his mind controlled through constant practice, enjoys like a carefree exuberant child. ॥22॥

कस्त्वं कोऽहं कुत आयातः,
का मे जननी को मे तातः।
इति परिभावय सर्वमसारम्,
विश्वं त्यक्त्वा स्वप्न विचारम् ॥२३॥

(23)Who are you ? Who am I ? From where I have come ? Who is my mother, who is my father ? Ponder over these and after understanding, this world to be meaningless like a dream,relinquish it. ॥23॥

त्वयि मयि चान्यत्रैको विष्णुः,
व्यर्थं कुप्यसि मय्यसहिष्णुः।
भव समचित्तः सर्वत्र त्वं,
वाञ्छस्यचिराद्यदि विष्णुत्वम् ॥२४॥

(24)Lord Vishnu resides in me, in you and in everything else, so your anger is meaningless . If you wish to attain the eternal status of Vishnu, practice equanimity all the time, in all the things. ॥24॥


शत्रौ मित्रे पुत्रे बन्धौ,
मा कुरु यत्नं विग्रहसन्धौ।
सर्वस्मिन्नपि पश्यात्मानं,
सर्वत्रोत्सृज भेदाज्ञानम् ॥२५॥

(25)Try not to win the love of your friends, brothers, relatives and son(s) or to fight with your enemies. See yourself in everyone and give up ignorance of duality everywhere.॥25॥


कामं क्रोधं लोभं मोहं,
त्यक्त्वाऽत्मानं भावय कोऽहम्।
आत्मज्ञान विहीना मूढाः,
ते पच्यन्ते नरकनिगूढाः ॥२६॥

(26)Give up desires, anger, greed and delusion. Ponder over your real nature . Those devoid of the knowledge of self come in this world, which is a endless hidden hell. ॥26॥

यद्यपि लोके मरणं शरणं,
तदपि न मुञ्चति पापाचरणम् ॥२८॥

(28)People use this body for pleasure which gets diseased in the end. Though in this world everything ends in death, man does not give up the sinful conduct. ॥28॥

अर्थंमनर्थम् भावय नित्यं,
नास्ति ततः सुखलेशः सत्यम्।
पुत्रादपि धनभजाम् भीतिः,
सर्वत्रैषा विहिता रीतिः ॥२९॥

(29)Keep on thinking that money is cause of all troubles, it cannot give even a bit of happiness. A rich man fears even his own son . This is the law of riches everywhere. ॥29॥

नित्यानित्य विवेकविचारम्।
जाप्यसमेत समाधिविधानं,
कुर्ववधानं महदवधानम् ॥३०॥

श्रीमच्छम्कर भगवच्छिष्यै,
बोधित आसिच्छोधितकरणः ॥३२॥

नामस्मरणादन्यमुपायं,
नहि पश्यामो भवतरणे ॥३३॥

(33) O deluded minded friend, chant Govinda, worship Govinda, love Govinda as there is no other way to cross the life's ocean except lovingly remembering the holy names of Krishna. ॥33॥
