y Divine grace of my Guruji Dr. Naresh ,Chandigarh and under able
guidance of Shri A.V.Sundaram I’m here presenting basic treatise on “Pada Dasa System of Timing” timing events of native’s life with Bhrigu cycle of the planets. There are various predictive tools available in Jyotish. Among them Bhrigu Maharishi’s Pada Dasa is an important technique for predicting or timing an event. But this method is not practiced for 1 753
want of proper information for application which is due to non availability of literature, article or texts. Recently in ICAS-Secunderabad chapter Nadi Course on different levels was conducted under able co-ordination of Shri A.V.Sundaram an eminent Nadi Researcher and National Joint Secretary – ICAS. In the course of the study, Bhrigu Pada dasas were extensively worked out. I am thankful to the authors/speakers especially Shri Tejan Bose who contributed in Bhrighu Pada System. To begin with we must find the Arudha Pada of the houses. Arudha Pada also called as “Pada” and means “Mount” and refers to the image of a sign falling on another due to reflection of the rays emanating from it and being reflected by its lord.
Computation Of Arudha Padas Arudha Pada is obtained by counting the number of the houses, the house lord had moved away from that particular house in question. The house so obtained will be the “Arudha” for that house under consideration. For example the pada of the ascendant will correspond to the sign arrived by counting the number of signs from the ascendant lord ahead from ascendant. Similarly the padas for 12 bhavas or houses should be computed from the placement of house lord or lord away from the house. Therefore the 12 Padas arrived from 12 houses can be termed as follows shown in the Table.1. House

Exceptions To Rules : 1. If the lord of the house is in the same house the 10th house in question there from can be treated as its pada . ex. In the above chart, 9th lord is sun in its own house, Simha, therefore the 9th pada falls in the 10th house from Simha, i.e. Vrishaba. 2. If the lord of the house is in the 7th, pada falls in the opposite house but being Kendra, pada falls in 10th house from the said house. ,ex. Cancer lagna, the lagna lord falls in the seventh (Makara),then lagna pada falls in cancer, which is Kendra, hence it should again be shifted to 10th from it i.e. Mesha. 3. If the lord of the bhava is in the 4th from bhava, then the pada falls in the 7th, since it is Kendra, it should again be shifted to 10th .Ex. Vrishabha Lagna, LL is in 4th house (Simha), then lagna pada falls in Vrischika, which is again Kendra, hence it should be shifted to 10th from it, i.e. Simha again. 4. If the lord of the bhava falls in the 10 th bhava from its place, then the pada falls in the 4th bhava in question. Ex. Sagittarius Lagna, Mars is the 5th lord, posited in Makara (10th) therefore the 5th pada falls in the 10th from makara i.e. Thula, which is Kendra hence pada is shifted again to 10th from Thula which is Cancer thus finally being 4th from Mesha (bhava in question).

As per Vedic texts any event in an individual’s life will fructify as per the promise in the natal chart during the dasas and gochara but as per Bhrigu Pada Dasa Technique the event will occur when the Pada lord will transit the particular house at that particular age of the life. This pada dasa system of Bhrigu Maharishi’s corresponds almost to the Metonic cycle of planets which refers to the return of the planets to the same position of the Zodiac with respect to the fixed star. Dasa Periods of the planets are derived as per the periodic revolutions made in the Zodiac to come back to the exact position of the star.

Now that the periods allotted to the planets or the pada lords are seen as above in the table. Thus the event will be assessed when the pada lords are transiting the sign with the padas. The procedure for confirming of the event through the pada dasa system using this Metonic cycle of period is as follows. From the natal chart compute the 12 padas for 12 houses. List out the pada lords. To time any event, calculate the present age of the native. Also list out the house lords, padas and pada lords related to the particular event. Then find out the dasa period of the pada lords related to the particular event. Finally event will be timed when these pada lords at that particular age will be 6 758
influencing the house, house lord, pada and the karaka. Some Principles Involved In Timing Of Event ™ Dasa Period of pada lord is directly involved with the event. ™ Bhrigu system of astrology gives maximum importance to Kendra/Trikonas. Thus whenever the pada lords are in trine or kendra to the house lords/house or crossing the house, then the events will be fructified.{ Kendra-Self effort, Trines-Fate} ™ Lagna pada signifies protection; it will try to protect the native from total effects. Ex. To time the marriage event for a native, the following should be analyzed. : House
- Lagna , 7 House
House lords - Lagna lord, 7th lord Pada lords
- Pada lord of Lagna lord, Pada lord of 7th lord
Present age of the native. Dasa Periods of pada lords influencing Lagna, Lagna lord, and 7th house, 7th lord Event will occur when the pada lords during their dasas will influence the houses, house lords and karaka by moving over them or in trines to them. In the chart given below we will discuss marriage event For Example: Chart A: Sep-10-1939, 2.20 P.M.

Date of Birth: Sep -10 -1939
Date of Marriage : July -05-1967
Marriageable Age : 27Y 07M 25D Therefore at the given marriageable age the pada lords are moving through the houses and the house lords as per the Table 3 & 4 and chart given above. Predicting the marriage as per information given above: For the marriage event to occur the pad lords of Lagna lord (LL), and 7th lord (7L) should influence these parameters (L, LL,7H ,7L ,Karaka) during their dasa periods. Lagna : Mars as pada lord of 2P (Kutumbh), 8P (Marriage contract ) is moving over lagna, and is in Kendra to seventh house directly influencing the native for the marriage to occur at 27Y 07M 25D Lagna Lord: is influenced by the mercury, pada lord of 3P and 11th pada and the seventh lord crossing over lagna lord and also over lagna pada and 12th pada at marriageable age of 27Y 07M 25D Seventh House: At 27Y
07M
25D, Jupiter the pada lord of lagna lord is moving through
seventh house in Kendra to lagna, lagna lord, thereby making the marriage to occur. Seventh Lord: Venus the pada lord of the 7th pada is directly causing the event by moving over the seventh lord and natal Venus which is also the karaka for marriage is also directly influenced by Venus, karaka for marriage moving over it. 8 760
Conclusion: Therefore it can be concluded that pada lord are very vital in Bhrigu Pada system of timing the event. The pada lords during its dasa period will make the event to occur by directly influencing through its movement over the house or the house lords.
