Pataki Risht Chakra (A Special Technique for Finding Mishaps in The Lives of Children Boys and Girls Upto The Age of Twenty Four)

In our research class when I talked about the Pataki Ristha Chakra and told how some traditional astrologers made brilliant use of it and gave stunning predictions about children and boys and girls upto the age of twenty four suffering, surviving or dying, Shalini Dhasmana showed keen interest in it, collected all available books, collected horoscopes, applied the PRC technique to than, gave prediction in some cases which were fulfilled and then convinced herself of the efficacy and great use of this chakra. I asked her to produce a monograph on the chakra and take a workshop also.

She did lot of work and has produced a very original book. In the meantime she taught two classes of research on the use of this chakra. A student in that class, Sri N.N Sharma and Nandini Agarwal applied them giving him excellent results.

Shalini has shown lot of originality in this research by bringing into it the karakas of Jaimini also in our well known scheme of composite technique. It is good to see her getting convinced of the great use of the Pataki Rishtha Chakra or P.R.C.

More important in this context is the fact that while she was busy doing this research, I referred to her some cases of children suffering in hospitals with some undiagnosed diseases.

In one case she predicted that the child would survive and the child is happily back to her house and in another, Shalini predicted fatal end to the child and the child died in a hospital after many terrifying dreams.

She studied nearly forty cases with absolute thoroughness and I was surprised to see the consistency and pinpointedness in her research. She worked very hard, very conscientiously like a real astrologer researcher who are so rare now inspite of the spread of astrology so much, so wide through books and internet websites

It is only when a research like this comes out which is clear, cogent and even quantifiable, that one get convinced about the super science which astrologer is.

Sometime in 1973 or earlier I saw in eastern India, where I had postings during my service career, horoscopes made by traditi astrologers of those areas, Pataki Rista Chakra (PRC). lnvariable Orissa, Bengal, Bihar {Darbhanga part) and Orissa the PRC was gl with or without some comment.

I tried it. after knowing that it was a special technique used predicting mishaps for children and seeing their survival or other It was claimed by many that this technique was very sound and should be applied to the horoscopes of children invariably before giving major prediction about them.

I tried it in some cases and found it giving me results thou have mostly relied more on the well or better known combinations balaristha.

Later in 1981, I heard about a Garhwali astrologer who use come and stay in Chandi Chowk, New Delhi who gave predictions based on PRC invariably and with amazingly great results. Two of predictions were talked of mostly, one when a child was in a hosp and doctors held to almost no hope for it. This astrologer looked the horoscope prepared PRC and said that the child would be all n: on the third day. The parents found the boy recovering and smiling the third day.

In another case, this Garhwali astrologer held out no hopes for anailing child when the doctors had thought. that the child was suffering from a minor ailment. The child died. In course of time this astrologer

Earned the respect of many traditional families. I have always been convinced about the great utility of chakras as potent and nearly dependable tools for prediction. Butl happens, many modern astrologers do not even look at these tools emphasise more of their exploitative remedial rnesures than fine superfine predictions.

But I myself found no time to do any research on PRC as cases of ailing children hardly were brought to me by worried parents who went to other astrologies because because I was busy otherwise with other researches.

In one of the research classes of the bharatiya Vidya Bhawan, once I asked students to do some research students to do some research on this chakra and showed through a table given in a book how sunrise and sunset, Yamarchipati degrees of facility.

I also told the class that Invariably, every horoscope should be first analysed through dashas upto three levels at least, transits and other relevant varga charts. Then PRe should be tried

In the dass room, Ms Shalini Dhasmana showed keen interest in it, collected all available books, collected horoscopes, applied the PRC technique to them, gave prediction in some cases which were fulfilled and then convinced herself 'Of the efficacy and great use of this chakra.

I asked her to' produce a monograph on the chakra and take a workshop also. In the meantime she taught two dasses of junior research on the use of this chakra, A student in that dass, Sri N.N. Sharma applied them to his data of children born deaf and dumb and found them giving him excellent results. Shalini has shown lot of originality in this research by bringing into it the karakas of alrnlnl also in our well known scheme of composite technique. It is good to see her getting convinced of the great use of the Pataki Ristha Chakra or P.R.C.

She studied nearly forty cases with absolute. thoroughness and I was surprised to see the consistency and plnpolntedness in her research. She worked very hard, very conscientiously like a real astrologer researcher who are so rare now inspite of the spread of astrology so much, so wide through books and internet websites.

It is only when a research like this comes out which is dear,cogent and even quantifiable, that one get convinced about the super science which astrology is.

Jyotish is the tarnished Old gold lying hidden in the cupboards of possessive astrologers. The time has come for us to respectfully take it out of their cupboards polish it, and present it to the world, so that more people can benefit from it and so that even the non believers or astrology get convinced by the soundness of its techniques.

Pataki Rishta chakra is one' of these rare techniques of astrology. It is popular among the astrologers of Garhwal, Orissa and Assam who use it with great accuracy for predicting arishta and chances of recovery in the case of a child, seriously ill, up to the age of 24 years or so.

Life was simple when this technique was developed. The chakra was simply used to see illness and recovery from it. Today another dimension has been added to a child's life. Today it has become a little common to see children born through surrogate mothers, through artificial insemination, or through medical treatment of sterile parents. 'Today children are adopted more frequently, or they are born to parents with live in relationship or to parents having free sex lives. Tomorrow human babies may be born through cloning. In such cases how can we astrologically

- " Determine congenital defects?
" Or harm to the child during the nine months of "gestation' period in the mother's womb?
" Or paternity of the child apart from modern D.N.A. test?
Pataki Rishta chakra is capable of giving answers to these questions. Some more research on this technique will widen its horizon even more. With this background let us look at the chakra.

Pataki Rishta Cnakra (P.R.c.) is a variation of tripataki chakra. Twelve rashies from Aries to Pisces are allotted fixed members and fixed years. The horoscope of the child is super imposed on the chakra and Vedha is noted. Dinmen or Ratrimen are divided into eight parts co get the duration of one Yamardha (or Ardhayam or Ardhaprahar). One yamardha is further divided into four parts to get the duration of one Dandaman. Lord of the yamardha running at the time of birth is called Yamardhipati, (Ardhayarnesh) and the lord of the dandaman funlling at the time of birth is called Yamadandadhipati (Dandesh).

In Hindi language and in Hindu religion, the world Yama means death, and so yama Dandadhipati means the planet who will give Yama's danda, or he is the planet who is authorized to give Danda or punishment according to the poorva karmas of the person. If Lagna. Moon, or Important planets are not getting Vedha from Yama and find the child hale and hearty. It however Lagna, Moon or other Important houses or Planets are getting Vedha from yamadandadhpati. Then there is cause for worry and he prescribes remedial measures.

The Process of identification of Yamadandadapati involves tedious calculations in ghati pala system. Effort is being made here to modernize and simplify these calculations by conversion into hours and minute system, which we are more familiar with. Once simplified, it can even be fed into the computer, Every child's P.R.C. should be made and days months and years can be identified before hand, when a difficult period can come, and appropriate remedies can be suggested.

The rate of infant mortality was very high in olden days when medical facilities and child health awareness was poor. With the advancement of medical science, hygiene and health awareness and with availability of vaccinations etc. this mortality rate has droped considerably, but even today we find such mishaps. Today the face of balarishta has changed times. Balarishta can come up in the form of ill health, death, separation from parents, divorce of parents or even child abuse by parent. What is more alarming is some new aspects of balarishta i.e. mass deaths of children in hospitals of theft of children in hospitals or kidnapping of children or child abuse May be it can help us in giving hope and guidance to worried parents of these children.

This is an on going research. I have considered horoscope falling under 5 categories:

1. Saved
2. Not saved
3. Someone closely related suffered.
4. Left handicapped
5. Under observation
The research will be later expanded to cover different types of cases like- Multiple births- Twins etc.
Children with similar horoscopes.
Any unusal cases.
I would also study the role of upagrahs i.e. gulik Mandi, Dhoom parivesh in more detail. I have made a small beginning in the revival of this ancient technique and I plan to develop this technique with the help traditional Garhwali Astrologers and with Pandulips (manuscripts)which are in their profession. Shri K.N. Rao is the guiding light in this research.
