Chandrakriya etc.

Now we will be demonstrating the method to work Chandrakriya,

Chandra Avastha and Chandravelas specify their effects. In the assessment

of a birth chart, query chart and for Muhurta, full consideration should be

given to Chandrakriya, Chandra Avastha and Chandravelas. Chandrakriyas

are 60 in number, Chandra Avasthas 12 and Chandravelas 36.

12. Note the Nakshatra at birth, query or Muhurta. The Ghatikas and

Vighatikas which have elapsed may be converted into Vighatikas.

Divide this result by (1) 60, (2) 300 and (3) 100. The three resulting

quotients are named (1) Chandrakriya, (2) chandra Avastha and (3)

Chandravela respectively. Their effects are described below.

Notes: Now we give below ready made tables for finding out the

Chandrakriyas, Chandra avasthas and Chandravelas.

Chandrakriya

60 parts of a Nakshatra to find out Chandrakriya

The stretch of a Nakshatra is 13-20'. One sixtieth part of which will

be 13'-20"

D M S D M S D M S D M S

(6) 1-20-0 (21) 4-40-0 (36) 8-0-0 (51) 11-20-0

(7) 1-33-20 (22) 4-53-20 (37) 8-13-20 (52) 11-33-20(8) 1-46-40 (23) 5-6-40 (38) 8-26-40 (53) 11-46-40

(9) 2-0-0 (24) 5-20-0 (39) 8-40-0 (54) 12-0-0

(10) 2-13-20 (25) 5-33-20 (40) 8-53-20 (55) 12-13-20

(11) 2-26-40 (26) 5-46-40 (41) 9-6-40 (56) 12-26-40

(12) 2-40-0 (27) 6-0-0 (42) 9-20-0 (57) 12-40-0

(13) 2-53-20 (28) 6-13-20 (43) 9-33-20 (58) 12-53-20

(15) 3-20-0 (30) 6-40-0 (45) 10-0-0 (60) 13-20-0

For example in a nativity the longitude of the Moon (Chandraspasta)

is 11-20-37-21 and the stretch of Revti Nakshatra being from 11-16-40 to

12-0-0:

Longitude of the Moon 11-20-37

Commencement of Revti 11-16-40

Elapsed portion of Revti 3-57-21


4/5

By referring to the above table we will find that the 17th part ended

at 3-46-40 and the 18th part will end at 4-0-0. Therefore by the elapsing of

17th part the effect of its Chandrakriya viz one. Who studies vedas' will be

taken into account which means that the native will be a learned person.

Chandra Avastha

For finding out Chandra Avastha the stretch of a Nakshatra has to be

divided into 12 parts. Thus one part will come to 1-6-40.

D M S D M S D M S

(1) 1-6-40 (5) 5-33-20 (9) 10-0- 0

(2) 2-13-20 (6) 6-40-0 (10) 11-6- 40(3) 3-20-0 (7) 7-46-40 (11) 12-13-20

(4) 4-26-40 (8) 8-53-20 (12) 13-20- 0

For example the elapsed portion of Revti Nakshatra Is 3-57'-21".

The third part ends at 3-20-0 The 4th part will end at 4-26'-40". Therefore

the effect of 4th part will be taken into account which is 'distinguished for

becoming a ruler'.

Chandravela

For finding out the Chandravela the stretch of a Nakshatra viz 13-

20' has to be divided into 36 parts. One part will thus come to 13'-13"-20"

DMS DMS DMS

(1) 0-22-13-20 (13) 4-48-53-20 (25) 9- 15-33-20

(2) 0-44-26-40 (14) 5-11-6-40 (26) 9-37-46-40

(6) 2-13-20- 0 (18) 6-40-0- 0 (30) 11-6-40-0

(7) 2-35-33-20 (19) 6-2-13-20 (31) 11-28-53-20

(8) 2-57-46-40 (20) 7-24-26-40 (32) 11-51-6-40

(9) 3-20-0-0 (21) 7- 46-40- 0 (33) 12-13-20-0(10) 3-42-13-20 (22) 8-8-53-20 (34) 12-35-33-20

(11) 4-4-26-40 (23) 8-31-6-40 (35) 12-57-46-40(12) 4-26-40-0 (24) 8-53-20-0 (36) 13-20-0-0


5/5

For example if the elapsed portion of Revati Nakshatra is 3-57'-21".

Part 10 ends 3-42'-13"-20". Part 11 ends 4-4'-26"-40". Therefore it falls

in 11th part. The effects of this 'taking poison' which means the nature is

fed up with life and wants to get rid of it.

20. The Chandrakriya, Chandra Avastha and Chandravela described

above will be found very useful and effective in the case of a birth, muhurta

and a quary. One ought therefore to pay particular attention to them before

making any prediction.

21. Paksha Bala (fortnightly strength) is of special importance to the

Moon and Sthana Bala is of some importance to the other planets. When

this strength added to other kinds of strength of a planet, it will add more

strength to that planet. There are many such types of strength.
