#LostObject Prasna
Ācārya: Let us examine other Yogas regarding lost object.
9.182. If Candra is in a Pṛṣṭodaya Rāśi the alleged lost property is not lost but is somewhere in the house itself. If that Rāśi is dṛṣṭied by Śani the article is in a high place, and if that Rāśi is related to Maṅgala it is not in the high place.
Ācārya: Examine Candra in a Praśnakuṇḍalī and decipher results based on his disposition. If Candra is in a Pṛṣṭodaya Rāśi (rising backward) the alleged lost property is not lost but is somewhere in the house.

A discourse on Graha/Rasi Karakatvas from Jnana Pradeepika.

2.30-31. Guru, Budha are Puruṣa and they are strong in Udayarāśi. Sūrya and Maṅgala are Catuṣpāda and they are strong in 10H (Anta). The Śukra and Candra are Jalacara and they are strong in 4H in Jalarāśis (Karka/Mīna). Śani and Rāhu are Kīṭa and they are powerful in 7H.

Sunidhi: Guruji, kindly narrate the rules that we should use in judging a Praśnakuṇḍalī.
Ācārya: Some general rules apply to most places, and there are specific rules that apply to specific Praśna. Let me narrate the general rules. ... Rule 1: Identify the Kāryabhāva and Kāryeśa. These two are the most crucial factors in Praśna. Identify their association with Grahas (yutidṛṣṭi) or any special Yoga formation.

A snip from the upcoming book on Prasna Shastra. #InSearchOfJyotish #ISJBook23A

Jayanta: Guruji, why must we learn Praśna Śāstra when we can divine most things from the Janmakuṇḍalī?
Ācārya: Not everything can be divined from the Janmakuṇḍalī, ... ... say, identifying the place of lost objects, identifying the thief who has stolen it, etc. Besides, there is another important reason.
The Janmakuṇḍalī is the blueprint of what you did in your past lives and what results are in store for you. ...

#Revati #Nakshatra - A discourse

Kailāśa: Guruji, let us discuss the last and 27th Nakṣatra, Revatī.
Ācārya: So, who is the Devatā of Revatī?
Kailāśa: It is Pūṣana, one of the Dvādasāditya, the nourisher.
Ācārya: He is related to which Rāśi? Sunidhi: Guruji, Pūṣana relates to Tulā and lives in the trees and herbs. He stands for curiosity, change and sexual intercourse.
Jayanta: Guruji, as much as I know, Pūṣana is the devatā of protection and meeting. He is responsible for marriages, journeys, roads, feeding ...

#Uttarabhadra #Nakshatra - a discourse

Ācārya: Alright, let us do this Nakṣatra, the Nakṣatra of psychic development and righteousness. Let us start with the understanding of The Devatā. Sunidhi, do you know who the Devatā is? Sunidhi: I suppose it is Ahirbudhnya – the serpent of the deep ocean.
Jayanta: Guruji, let me narrate what I know.
‘Ahirbudhnya’ is one who, in the form of an ‘ahi’ or serpent, is the ‘budhna’ or foundation of the world. So, it refers to Śeṣanāga or Ananta, the ...

#InSearchOfJyotish #ISJBook10 10.4.1.2.5 #Randhresha #8L

Regarding Randhreśa, there is some confusion regarding what Maharṣi Parāśara stated. On the one hand, he says that the Lords of Vyāya, Dvitīya and Randhra become Kāraka or Akāraka based on the ownership of another Bhāva. However, in the following statement, he states that Randhreśa is not favourable, as he owns the Vyāya (loss) from Dharmabhāva (righteousness).
If Randhra is considered unfavourable, why must its nature be divined from the other Lord?

#Ashvini #Nakshatra - a discourse

Ācārya: Let us then discuss Aśvinī, the first Nakṣatra.
Kailaśa: Guruji, what does the name mean?
Jayanta: Aśva means horse, one being born from a horse. Do you know the story about the birth of the Aśvinīs? Kailaśa: Yes, Gurubhrāta, I know. They were born when Saṅjñādevi went to a forest for Tapasyā. Realizing this, Sūryadeva went to bring her back and had love. From their union, the Aśvinīs were born.

#Bharani #Nakshatra - a discourse!

Jayanta: Guruji! Let us discuss Bharaṇī now, the 2nd Nakṣatra.
Ācārya: Very well. So can someone explain the name first?
Sunidhi: Guruji, I will try! It consists of Bhara, which means to fill. So this Nakṣatra deals with filling something? Kailāśa: Ābharaṇa means ornaments and jewels. Is this associated with Bharaṇī as well?
Jayanta: Guruji! Dr David Frawley states that Bharaṇī has the power to take things away (apabharaṇī śakti). Its basis above is the removal of life from the body.
