Bhagavan Śrī Kṛṣṇa

Extracts from Book: Narayana Dasa

Birth data: 20^th July 3228 BC i.e. Night of 19^th July as per Hindu Calendar; 77E42’, 27N35’)

It is apt to take up the chart of Bhagavan Śrī Kṛṣṇa after that of Aurobindo. We are not offering any readings here as this is far too detailed and is beyond the scope of this book.

Step 1: Determination of Starting sign

The starting sign is to be determined between the Lagna (Taurus) and the seventh house (Scorpio) on the basis of the strength (refer Chapter 1, Sources of strength).

1) Rule (2) of First Source of strength : Both signs have one planet each and are equally strong. Try next rule.

2) Rule (1) of Second source of strength: Both signs are aspected by their Lords (Venus placed in a movable sign aspects Taurus, a fixed sign by Rāśi Dṛṣṭi[1] and Mars & Ketu also aspect Scorpio by Rāśi Dṛṣṭi). None of the signs are aspected by either Jupiter or Mercury (Rāśi dṛṣṭi alone is considered) as these planets are in a dual sign. Both signs are equally strong as one of the three conditions applies. Try next rule.

3) Rule (3) of First Source of strength: Moon placed in Taurus is exalted whereas Saturn is placed in an inimical sign in Scorpio. Taurus is stronger than Scorpio and shall furnish the starting Nārāyaṇa daśā.

Step 2: Determine the period of the signs

Rāśi	Lord	Basic Period	Exaltation /Debility	First Cycle	Second Cycle
A		B	C	D= (B+C)	E=(12-D)
Aries	Mar	4-1=3	-1	2	10
Taurus	Ven	3-1=2	0	2	10
Gemini	Mer	4-1=3	+1	4	8
Cancer	Mon	3-1=2	+1	3	9
Leo	Sun	13-1=12	0	12	0
Virgo	Mer	13-1=12	+1	12 (Max)	0
Libra	Ven	10-1=9	0	9	3
Scorpio	Mar	9-1=8	-1	7	5
Sagittarius	Jup	10-1=9	0	9	3
Capricorn	Sat	3-1=2	0	2	12
Aquarius	Rah	8-1=7	0	7	5
Pisces	Jup	7-1=6	0	6	6

Step 3: Check whether Saturn or Ketu is in the Starting sign.

The starting sign is Taurus and neither Saturn nor Ketu is placed in it. Thus, tables-11 & 12 are not applicable. Refer to table-10 for order of daśā.

Step 4:Draw a table showing the two cycles of the Nārāyaṇa Daśā

Table 16:Śrī Kṛṣṇa Nārāyaṇa daśā:

Daśā	Period		From (BC)	To (BC)	Remarks
Ta	02		3228-07-20	3226-07-20	Śrī Kṛṣṇa lived in this world for 125 years (both historical literature like Viṣṇu Purana and Bhagavatam confirm this fact). Thus, it would not be possible to use any Daśā with a limited period for this chart. This shows the supremacy and universal applicability of the Nārāyaṇa daśā.
Sg	09		3226-07-20	3217-07-19
Cn	03		3217-07-19	3214-07-20
Aq	07		3214-07-20	3207-07-20
Vi	12		3207-07-20	3195-07-20
Ar	02		3195-07-20	3193-07-19
Sc	07		3193-07-19	3186-07-20
Ge	04		3186-07-20	3182-07-20
Cp	02		3182-07-20	3180-07-19
Le	12		3180-07-19	3168-07-19
Pi	06		3168-07-19	3162-07-20
Li	09		3162-07-20	3153-07-19
Second Cycle
Ta		10	3153-07-19	3143-07-19	Śrī Kṛṣṇa left this world with the advent of Kāli Yuga in 3102 BC in the Nārāyaṇa Daśā of Capricorn. He was wounded in the feet (Saturn in third from AL in a Martian insect sign Scorpio). Capricorn representing the Age of Kāli is owned by Saturn and also aspects Scorpio. Saturn indicates the feet and Mars shows wounds.
Sg		03	3143-07-19	3140-07-19
Cn		09	3140-07-19	3130-07-19
Aq		05	3130-07-19	3126-07-19

Sapta Śloki Gītā 01

The Sapta-śloki Gītā is mentioned in the book Stotra Ratnāvalī translated by Swami Gambhirananda of the Ramakrishna Mission. With the advent of Kali Yuga it was realised that it would be next to impossible for the people to recite the Bhagavat Gītā everyday and then somewhere in the tradition, seven verses were recited in a certain order to form the sapta-śloki Gītā. These have a definite relationship with the seven weekdays and the verses are -

Śloka	Graha	Vāra	Essence
8.13	Sun	Sunday	OM	Oṁ is the word that initiated everything
11.36	Moon	Monday	Namaḥ	Siddhi is obtained by namaḥ mantras
13.14	Mars	Tuesday	Sarva vyāpaka	Omniscience is achieved by omnipresence
8.09	Mercury	Wednesday	Knowledge is strength	Omnipotence stems from omniscience
15.01	Jupiter	Thursday	Kalpa vṛkṣa	Beyond death, mokṣa
15.15	Venus	Friday	Hṛdaya Padma	Enlightenment is in the heart lotus
18.65	Saturn	Saturday	Tapasyā	Path to salvation

Jagannatha Svarna Vesha

However the spiritualists have considered nine verses as the most potent for yoga. These need an enlightened spiritual master for understanding the spiritual depth. These śloka are – 4.29, 4.30, 5.27, 6.13, 8.10, 8.12, 8.13, 8.24, and 8.25. Perhaps they relate to the navagraha although the order and relationship with the navagraha needs further examination.

Sun | Sunday

श्रीभगवानुवाच।
ओमित्येकाक्षरं ब्रह्म व्याहरन्मामनुस्मरन्‌।
यः प्रयाति त्यजन्देहं स याति परमां गतिम्‌॥ ८-१३॥
śrībhagavānuvāca |
omityekākṣaraṁ brahma vyāharanmāmanusmaran |
yaḥ prayāti tyajandehaṁ sa yāti paramāṁ gatim || 8-13||

Translation: One who leaves the body while uttering the sacred monosyllable OM (ॐ) which is the Brahman [Supreme Creator] goes [gati] to the Supreme [paraṁ] i.e. attains emancipation.

Translation: Arjuna said: O Hṛṣikeśa! the world rightfully delights in Thy glorification which is attractive. Terrified (by the same), the evil demons flee in the (eight) directions and the (eight or sixty-four) perfected beings (siddha) bow to Thee (namaḥ) in adoration.

Translation: The one who meditates on Brahman as the omniscient, the oldest, the controller, smaller than the smallest (and bigger than the biggest), the sustainer of everything, the inconceivable, the self luminous like the sun, and as transcendental or beyond the material reality;

He who meditates on the Omniscient, the Anceint, the Ruler, subtler than the subtle, the Ordainer of everything, of inconceivable form, effulgent like the sun, and beyond darkness-(he attains the supreme Person).
