About the Book The Dasa System dealt in this book is not found in any of the standard classical texts of astrology and the author learnt the same from one of his Tantric Guru he met during the course of his own Sadhana. The author has also brought out few other Dasa systems learnt from great Astro-Tantrics viz. Tara Dasa, Gangadhara Dasa etc. The calculation of this Dasa is based on Ashtaka Varga and the readers would appreciate how beautifully the benefic dots obtained in Sarvastaka Varga are converted into a Rashiyadi Dasa. First time in this book the readers would find the procedure for correct computation of Chara Karakas and the lovers of Jaimini astrology would certainly enjoy the detailed discussion on the same. The tribute appended here to late C S Patel would attract the astrologers who wish to do serious research in Ashtaka Varga System of prediction.
About the Author UK Jha has authored number of beautiful es- says on abstruse astrological topics and his fresh approach and interpretations have al- ways delighted the readers at large. He does not need any separate introduction; for, the lovers of astrology remain always on look out for grabbing anything that comes from his pen. His books like "Utopia and Anarchy of Stars" and "Lost Horizon in Vedic Astrology have earned him recognition from erudite astrologers globally. His commentary on "Yoga Pushpanjali" and "Phala Deepikaa" are matchless works on the subject and has attracted scholars increasingly. His books on subjects like "Mandook Dasa", "Kaal Chakra Dasa" and "Drig Dasa" etc have impressed the scholars intensely. Here, in this book he has again brought out a Dasa system that accords new glory to Ashtaka Varga system of prediction.
Preface Numerous types of Dasa systems are there in Vaidik astrology and each of these are meant for timing the events effectively. Many Dasa systems are found in the standard classical texts but there are also large number of Dasa systems practised secretly by the astro-scholars of Tantric cult residing in far flung corners of India and Nepal. The scribe has learnt over a dozen types of such Dasa systems from different Tantric pundits of India and Nepal. These Dasa systems are not found in any of the available texts of astrology. The scholars especially of secret Tantric cult seldom share informations with uninitiates and unworthy. And in this respect the author was fortunate that he could meet different Tantric pundits in different parts of this country at differ- ent interval of times and these Tantric teachers (Guru) found him worth teaching such rare Dasa systems. At a time when Vimshottari Dasa system was being used by majority of astrologers these Dasa systems remained closeted in the deeper chambers of heart of these Tantra sadhakas. Even today Rashiyadi (sign type) Dasa systems are scarcely used by the astrologers in general.
