Research Paper 1 : Arudha, Atmakaraka & Past Life
Summary
The concept of Arudha in Vedic astrology, focusing on the explanation provided by Maharishi Parashar in Chapter 29 of BPHS. Arudha represents the foundation or base of a house, indicating the karmic results carried over from past lives. The calculation involves determining the distance covered by a planet from its house, with exceptions for certain placements.
Exceptions include the avoidance of the same or 7th house for Arudha placement. The 10th house is chosen for such cases, as it signifies the karmic reasons behind the current life’s circumstances. The author underscores the idea that the fruits, whether positive or negative, are a result of past-life actions and that blaming external factors is misguided.
There are different types of Arudha, namely Lagna Arudha, Chandra Arudha, Surya Arudha, and Graha Arudha. Each type offers insights into specific aspects of life, such as the body, mind, ancestral lineage, and planetary influences. The Graha Arudha is illustrated with an example chart of Cheiro, a renowned palmist, showcasing how past-life karmas and choices manifest in the present life.

Research Paper 2 : Combust or Cazimi
Summary
Combustion occurs when a planet is within an 8° orb of the Sun, diminishing its strength and impact. Cazimi, on the other hand, refers to a planet being very close to the Sun, within 17′.
While combustion is considered detrimental, cazimi suggests that the planet, when seated with the Sun, can deliver its significations effectively. Examples of individuals with cazimi planets, such as Rabindranath Tagore and Amitabh Bachchan, are provided. The article also distinguishes between cazimi by longitude and latitude, emphasizing that true cazimi is rare and occurs when both are within 17″.
The concept of cazimi is applicable in the Rasi (D1) chart and can influence outcomes in horary charts. The author concludes by noting that while combustion and cazimi may seem similar, their results differ significantly.

Research Paper 7 : Ruling Planets and Timing of Events in KP
Summary:
The article discusses the application of KP (Krishnamurti Paddhati) astrology in predicting the timing of events, with a specific focus on marriage. In KP astrology, five ruling planets are considered based on their strength: Lagan star lord, Lagan Rashi lord, Moon Star Lord, Moon Rashi Lord, and Day Lord. The author emphasizes the importance of checking the promise of an event before determining when it will occur.
Marriage is examined in KP astrology through the cusp of the 7th house, which is the primary house of marriage. The cuspal sub lord with 7, 27, or 711 is considered a promise of marriage. The timing of marriage is then analyzed by checking the ruling planet during the current period, taking into account the transit of Rahu/Ketu in the ruling planet’s Rashi.
A practical example is provided to illustrate the methodology. The article emphasizes the need to verify the genuineness of the question before proceeding with the analysis. The ruling planets are considered in relation to the houses and signs associated with marriage. The example demonstrates how the author predicted the timing of a marriage by examining the ruling planets and coordinating their influences.

Research Paper 9 : Planets And Dictatorship
Summary:
The article discusses the astrological factors contributing to the emergence of dictators, focusing on two examples—Adolf Hitler and Pervez Musharraf. Dictatorship is defined as the authoritarian rule of one person or a small group over a large population. The term “Fascist” and “Hitlership” (Nazism) originated from the dictatorships of Benito Mussolini and Adolf Hitler, both characterized by anti-liberal, anti-socialist, anti-parliamentarian, and anti-communist ideologies.
Astrologically, common combinations found in the horoscopes of dictators include the influence of Mars on the Ascendant, 3rd house, or 10th house; afflicted Moon; relationships between Saturn-Mars, Rahu-Mars, and Sun-Saturn; and a powerful Sun.
The analysis of Adolf Hitler’s birth chart reveals a Libra Ascendant, with Venus (Lagna Lord) in conjunction with Mars and under Saturn’s aspect. Afflicted Moon forms a Gajkesri yoga in the 3rd house. The influence of Mars on the 10th house led Hitler to join the army, and he rose to power during Rahu/Rahu dasha.
The birth chart of Pervez Musharraf, born with a Scorpio Ascendant, highlights an afflicted Moon and Sun, with Saturn and Mars aspecting the Ascendant. Musharraf’s career saw significant ups and downs, marked by a military coup during Moon/Saturn dasha and his resignation during Mars/Venus dasha.
