Gajakesari Yoga done mechanically, astrology is more of a disaster than a boon for a majority of astrologers. In the books of jyotisha written by many writers, including Dr. Raman many decades ago, a lopsided view of Yogas has been taken. The commonest and the most misapplied yoga is the Gajakesari Yoga which is seen in the horoscopes of nearly one-third human beings.
This yoga which is said to increase the span of life of a human being, give him fame and an idealism not to be seen in others, has been always interpreted loosely. It is necessary a fuller view, when this Yoga is only protective, it being a good Yoga but weakly and when strongly. Then the full benefits of this Yoga are available only under certain conditions. 13 Case Studies, one example for each Lagna. An excellent analysis of Gajakesari Yoga.

A look at 11 horoscopes gives us a new and modern meaning to Jupiter’s role. Great Gajakesari Yoga of Famous Men Mahatma Gandhi, VP Singh (Former Prime Minister of India), Devi Gowda (Former Prime Minister of India) Jupiter-Venus or Venus-Jupiter periods Jupiter-Venus or Venus-Jupiter periods are rather enigmatic. I had read a good article on this some years ago by a writer who I thought should have written more elaborately. I have been watching this period in many horoscopes with some trepidation because while one expects these periods of two benefics to be generally good to excellent, it has been seen invariably that a family tragedy does take place. Brilliant analysis of these periods from all 12 Lagnas using horoscopes of famous men and women. Saturn-Rahu & Rahu-Saturn periods The se are periods of absolute disaster in some cases or even in a majority of them. Som exceptions are there to find out which one has to go deeper in one’s analysis. Over 25 cases analysed. Once again an excellent article. Mission of one’s life Mission of one’s life, a question frequently asked by those in the New Age Movement is whether one is born with a mission and what it is. The plain and obvious answer is that those who are born with a mission will be guided by God to fulfill it without anyone having to tell them. A very vast majority of us are not born with a mission but should take to spiritual life seriously to free oneself from the shackles of Maya.
