The Karakatvas : A Journey Into The World Of Vedic Astrology

Jyotia Is An Interplay Of Symbols Embedded Into The Discipline In The Form Of Significations Or Krakatvas. The Primary Building Blocks In Jyotia Are The Grahas, Ris And Bhvas. The Ris Are Further Subdivided Into The Nakatras And The Vargas. Each Of These Elements Has A Set Of Symbols Associated With It. From The Interplay Of These Symbols, We Derive Specific Meanings In Real Life. For Instance, One Of The Symbols Of Srya Is The Father, And Likewise, The Father Is Seen From The 9Th House, Also Called The Dharma Bhva Or The Pitbhva. The Krakas Are Also Defined Based On The Degrees Of The Grahas, In A Scheme Known As Carakrakas. It Is From Srya, The Chara Pitkraka And The 9Th House; We Decipher Everything About The Father. From A Ri Standpoint, Srya Owns The Siha Ri, And Therefore, The Siha Ri Must Also Be Judged For SryaS Krakatvas. The Krakas Are Related To Everything In The World, Be It A Graha, Ri Or Bhva. With The Interplay Of These Krakas, And The ubha Or Krra Yogas Formed By Them, The Concerned Matters In Life Should Be Judged. Therefore, The First And Foremost Step In Studying Jyotia Is To Examine The Krakas. The Jyotia Classical Texts Narrate Several Krakas Of The Grahas, Ris And Bhvas; However, To Apply Them In Real-Life Situations, We Need To Understand Them Clearly. I Believe That This Book Provides A Robust Framework For Understanding These Krakas.
