The Strengths And Bhava Analysis: A Journey Into The World Of Vedic Astrology

This volume of the book covers two important aspects of Jyotiṣa strengths and Bhāva Analysis. The strength section covers several forms of strength including the Ṣaḍbala i.e. the six sources of strength the Bhāvabala the Rāśibala. This includes few other forms of strengths such as the Viṁśopaka Bala Vaiśeṣikāñśa Iṣṭa-Kaṣṭa Phala and the Graha Raśmi. This should provide one with a comprehensive understanding of the matters concerning strength.The understanding of strength is highly significant because strength is ubiquitous. One cannot examine a Kuṇḍalī without considering the strength. We naturally use strength in the form of Graha in Sva Ucca Mūlatrikoṇa Nīca or Śatru Rāśi. We use the strength granted by dṛṣṭi of Śubhagrahas or the Grahas in Kendras etc. The strength section provides a systematic method of dealing with various forms of strength. I have tried to explain each of them with copious examples which I believe the seeker should find helpful.The following section provides a comprehensive method of judging a Bhāva. Everything that we experience in life is grouped into 12 different Bhāvas. The Bhāva assessment is a significant area of Jyotiṣa. However it isn't easy. The results of a Bhāva is affected by several factors and one must adopt a systematic approach to gain a comprehensive understanding of the Bhāva. In this regard Ācārya Mantreśvara provides a systematic approach to analyse a Bhāva which is covered exhaustively.
