Sarvato
Bhadra Chakra
Introduction
The great VARAHA MIHIRA, whose works on Astrology are revered by many, writing about the
Sarvato Bhadra Chakra says that it is a!able o" showing immediate results, whih an be
veri"ied and that this Chakra enlightens the Three #orlds$ The author o" MA%SA&ARI 'an
Astrologial te(t in e(tensive use in %orth India) in a ha!ter entitled Sarvato Bhadra Chakra
says that this will Illumine the Three #orlds$ Another author says that this Chakra will enlighten
us about the !ast, !resent and "uture and is, there"ore, om!arable to TRI*+,-A .//0A 'a
lam! "or lighting u! the Three #orlds)$ These bold statements not only give a lue to the great
im!ortane attahed to it by the re!uted writers but also the "at that the Chakra is a
multi!ur!ose tool$
In our en1uiries we "ound that this Chakra is used "or 'i) !rediting the !rie ranges o"
ommodities like Cotton, &old, ereals and "ood stu"" et$ 'ii) the "uture o" nations, results o"
battles et$ "or !ur!oses o" !olitial astrology 'iii) !rediting events onerning a native2s "uture,
though to a limited e(tent$
/(haustive literature on this sub3et is not available$ #e are, there"ore, !resenting in this
booklet whatever literature we ould lay our hands on, in the ho!e that serious students o"
Astrology would !ursue the matter, arry out researhes and make their e(!eriene available to
the !ubli in due ourse$ The o!inions e(!ressed by Varaha Mihira and the author o" Mansagari
is so lear and so "irm, this matter really warrants the serious attention o" students o" Astrology
and may !erha!s !rove to be yet another method to make !reditions with greater auray$
This ould even be the missing link in the art o" !redition, without whih we have been unable
to !redit with om!lete auray$
#e re"use to believe that a !ersonality o" the stature o" Varaha Mihira would have le"t anything
"or !osterity that is not really use"ul and his e(!ression in the very "irst sloka says this Chakra
will throw light on the Three #orlds should be taken at its "ae value and a!!lied with all
sinerity and veri"ied$

Mantereswara2s 0HA*A .//0I,A is one o" the big "ive works on Astrology, the most
ondensed book, lear ut in e(!ression, yet overing a muh wider "ield than other te(ts$ There
is a ha!ter alloated in this book "or %akshatra gohara, Vedha, *atta et$ vi9 ha!ter :7$
These are !rini!al items in the S$B$ Chakra methodology$ In skoka ;<, Mantreswara mentions
that bene"i and male"i Vedhas '"ront,right and le"t as!ets whih !ass through ell to ell)
have to be onsidered in !rediting transit e""ets$ The mere "at that a highly ondensed
treatise as 0HA*A .//0I,A has alloated more than hal" a ha!ter to this Chakra illustrates
the im!ortane attahed to it by an authority like Mantreswara, the most reent writer$
Some o" the students and researhers in Astrology inluding "oreigners have been im!atiently
!ressing us "or in"ormation and literature on this Chakra$ Besides, it also beame a!!arent to
the translators that they ould not make any "urther headway into this branh o" Astrology$
Hene, this !ubliation is being released in the sinere ho!e that "urther researhes will be
made by those who have time and make know the results$

The remaining < ells eah at the to!, bottom and the two sides ':C ells) are allotted to
the :E onstellations 'inluding Abhi3it) o" the Hindu Astrology as shown in the Chart I$
Abhi3it is a very small onstellation and is loated on the %irayana 9odia at 7F?;A2 Ca!riorn
to 6AF?GH2?:AI Ca!riorn$ This is based on the authority o" Varaha Mihira and JC .utt$ This
onstellation is also in use in the Ashtottari Maha .asa System$ The above arrangement is
based on the assum!tion that the :G onstellations, Aswini to 0urva Ashada ':A) and .hanishta
to Revati 'G) are all ou!ying e1ual distanes o" 6HF?:A2 eah and the remaining H
onstellations

about the loation o" Abhi3it as also the distanes ou!ied by the !reeding and sueeding

In our studies, we have also ome aross some Almanas in the ountry wherein even today,

'owels
The 67 vowels 'in Sanskrit) are arranged in the Sarvato Bhadra Chakra is shown in Chart I$
See also A!!endi( B "or "ull details$
The natural order of occurrence of these !owels is ()
A 'short)8 AA 'long)8 E 'short)8 EE 'long)8 'short as in Cook)8 'long as in Shool)8 *E
'short as in Rig)
*EE 'long as in reah)8 %E 'short) and %EE 'long) ? these two do not seem to our in
languages other than
Sanskrit and some Indian vernaulars8 AE 'short)8 AE 'long)8 as in oke8 + as in Cowdrey8
A$ as in ,-$8
A.A as in A.A$ED$ These 67 vowels are the same as those taught in shools in the very "irst
lesson, in India$
In some vernaulars, only 6: are used$
Namanakshatras
The namanakshatras '6C onsonants and 6 vowel) :A in number are arranged as show in
Chart I$
Appendix / e(!lains where the vowels>namanakshatras are used$
It will be observed that A is used both as a vowel 'ell K6) and as a namanakshatra 'ell KH;)$
.ow to -se the Chart
0lae the !lanets, on any given day and time, on the res!etive onstellations$
A!!endi( A is a ready rekoner showing distanes ou!ied by the :E onstellations on the
9odia as !er %irayana and Sayana '#estern) along with their /nglish names$
The tara grahas 'Tara 4 star, graha 4 !lanet, tara graha 4 !lanets whih resemble stars) namely,
Mars, Merury, Bu!iter, Venus, Saturn,
when in retrogression, as!et the right side8
when moving "ast, as!et the le"t side8
when moving at normal s!eed, as!et the "ront$
The right and le"t as!ets always !ass an angle o" ;GF either to the right or the le"t, starting "rom
the ell
where the !lanet is situated, "rom one orner o" the sign into the other and sto!s only on
reahing a
onstellation in the ells "lanking any one o" the sides o" the Chakra$
The front aspect is NT supposed to pass throu"h, si"n to si"n, but the constellation
at the end of the aspect alone "ets the effect0
That is to say, the right and le"t as!ets have their e""ets on the all the ells through whih the
as!et !asses,
but the "ront as!et a""ets only the onstellation in "ront$
See harts V?a and V?b $ .ragon2s Tail in the Chart v?a has been !laed in ell 67 mere "or

.ragon2s Head 'Rahu) and .ragon2s Tail ',etu) are always retrograde8 Sun and Moon are

Ra3a &rahas
',ingly !lanets)$ These "our !lanets will always aspect in all the three directions i$e$ le"t, right
@ "ront$
Note 4 +n the 1uestion o" as!ets, there are serious di""erenes o" o!inions$
Some say, all !lanets as!et all the three sides while others who di""er, say, all !lanets
have
only one as!et de!ending on s!eed>retrogression$
The translators2 !re"erene is "or single as!et "or tara grahas and three sides as!et
"or the rest$
As already stated, the le"t and right as!ets !ass through sign to sign and a""et the vowel,
namanakshatra,
rasi 'Moon sign), lunar day 'Tithi) and onstellation ou!ying the as!eted ells, while the "ront
as!et
a""ets only the onstellation at the other e(treme$

Maha
Bharata #ar is going to reur in 6C7: only and that, the ,oota o" 6C7: would result in #orld
#ar
and ma3or atastro!hes$ The answer to suh ritis is that there never was an Ashta &raha
,oota
during the $aha /harata +ar$ A look at the Chart drawn "or that !eriod shows that there was
only
a ombination o" 7 !lanets in Meena '0ises) and that Bu!iter, Mars and .ragon2s Tail were "ar
away
"rom the Congress o" 0lanets$ /ven the Constellations a""eted then, ,urukshetra ? the !lae

The Sapta)6raha ,oota 'onvergene o" < 0lanets) whih ourred on 6G BA% 6CH; in Makar
'Ca!riorn)
may be taken as a !reedent to assess where the evil e""ets o" the ensuing ,oota, muh
dreaded by
many, would most likely be"all$
Basi di""erene between the two ,ootas broadly are 4
a$ Instead o" .ragon2s Tail ',etu), who is already in Makara "or the ensuing ,oota, there
was
.ragon2s Head 'Rahu) in Makara in 6CH;8
b$ Bu!iter, was %+T a member o" the ,oota in 6CH; but was throwing his bene"i
onstellational
as!et on '6Ath) on Saturn and Mars, will now be a member o" the "orthoming ,oota$
-et, the Sapta 6raha ,oota of 2D@A is believed to have brought about, in its wake, the Bihar
earth1uake
resulting in loss o" <:G: lives 'as !er &overnment estimates) besides heavy loss o" !ro!erty$
The ourrene o" the 1uake in that !art o" India is broadly 3usti"iable as !er ,oorma Chakra, "or
Bihar
is divided between two triads o" Constellations, beginning "rom ,artik whereon the diret Vedha
as!ets
o" 7 !lanets "all besides other as!ets "rom !lanets onstellation?wise$
The !lanets that would be involved in the "orthoming ,oota '6C7:) also ast their
Vedha>Constellational
as!ets in muh the same !osition !lus Ashlesha, thus !ointing to the ,oota e""ets "alling
again in Bihar,Assam and Bengal$
There is a !reedent also "or the Ashta &raha ,oota o" 6C7:, whih we !ro!ose as a yardstik
to measure
the evil e""ets o" the same$ That !reedent is none other than the Ashta?&raha ,oota that
ourred in
CT/E* 22CE AD, in the sign o" ,anya 'Virgo)$
Similarities between the 66E7 and 6C7: ,ootas are 4?
a$ The same E !lanets that are to assemble in Ca!riorn in 6C7:, assembled in Virgo in
66E78
b$ There was a Solar /li!se in 66E7 similar to the one sheduled "or G J/B 6C7:8
$ Both the Signs ? Virgo ',anya) and Ca!riorn 'Makara) govern India8
d$ ,ala Sar!a -oga is ommon to both$
=sing 0ro" BV Raman2s Ayanamsa, the !lanetary ombination o" 6CH; was only a on3untion
o"
7 !lanets in one sign, Venus, Bu!iter and Rahu being outside, whilst in 6C7:, Bu!iter and Venus
are
losely involved in the ,oota, in muh the same way as it ha!!ened in 66E7$ +ne o" the greatly
res!eted Sages in the "ield o" Astrology, Sage Sukraharya, has stated that Bu!iter, on its own,
has the a!aity to nulli"y>ounterat all the male"i e""ets in a horoso!e and that the
ombined
!ower o" both Bu!iter and Venus, when in on3untion, is beyond imagination$ This is a very
im!ortant
di""erene between the 6CH; ,oota on one hand and the 66E7 and 6C7: ,oota2s on the other$
The
"our bene"is, Bu!iter, Venus, Merury and Moon will be literally huddled together within about
three
degrees a "ew minutes a"ter the /li!se$ In s!ite o" graha?yudha '!lanetary war) and
ombustion,
this on3untion o" ; bene"is within the ,oota does strengthen the hands o" Bu!iter to swallow
the
evils o" other !lanets$
#hat ha!!ened in India a"ter the last E !lanet ombination in 66E7 5 There were no
news!a!ers then8
historians were not reording events as we do nowadays$ -et a re"erene to Indian History
!ertaining
to that 0eriod shows that a year later or a bit earlier, Muhammad o" &hor 'also known
Muhammad &hori)
"ounded his /m!ire and his "lag started "lying over Indian soil$ &u3rat, Multan, =h, *ahore,
A3mer,
.elhi, ,annau3 were suess"ully on1uered and brought under his Rule between 66E7?6:A:$
Conversions on a mass sale went on merrily$
#hat does the 6C7: ,oota indiate "or .elhi, based on the !reedents and study made usin"
S/ Chakra
"or this ,oota 5 As e(!lained in the hart, no hange in &overnment is likely onse1uent to the
general
eletions taking !lae within weeks o" this ,oota$ This !resages stability and ontinuane o"
Administration
to a great e(tent$
Jrom the hart "or this ,oota, it will be notied that Ashlesha is reeiving Vedha "rom the 7
!lanets on
.hanishta besides Constellational as!ets o" Saturn and Mars, and transit o" Rahu over it$ This
looks like
the worst hit Constellation$ This star is in the diretion o" Bengal, +rissa and Virat in ,oorma
Chakra$
#hen the Bihar Luake ourred, the very same star reeived ma(imum number o"
Constellational as!ets$
In the 66E7 ,oota, =ttara Bhadra!ad and Revati bore the brunt o" Vedha as!ets as a result o"
whih
some !ortion o" our motherland went under "oreign Rule$ It looks, there"ore, that the !lanets this
time are warning us
that some !ortion o" our land in %orth /astern diretion may be grabbed by "oreigners$
Inidentally, Ashlesha also ha!!ens to be the birth star o" one o" the big "ive in world !olitis
today, who
is also our beloved 0remier, 0andit %ehru$ Jurthermore, he is running Rahu Maha .asa, Sani
bukti, the
"ormer in 6:th and the latter in :nd, both with as!et o" Bu!iter$ Astrologially, these seem to be
the
reasons behind the nasty !reditions in irulation about his "uture$ In this onnetion, it is worth
remembering that Sa"e Sukracharya 'in his book Sukra ,erala Rahasya ? Serets o" ,erala
Astrology)
says that whilst there are various ways o" "inding longevity, the term o" li"e o" a man, is
wholesale in
the hands o" &+., more so "or a man, handling the a""airs o" a nation not "or !ersonal gain$ In
other
words, those dediating their lives "or !urely 0ubli Servie or humanity, ,arma -ogis and
Sanyasis
en3oy a sort o" !lanetary immunity "rom the wrath o" !lanets$ Thus, this is not a ase "or making
!reditions
based on !lanets only$ #e would, however, venture to "oreast that he may 1uit or retire "rom
!olitis
"or the reasons given in para ? below the chart for this ,oota$
.hanishta is the ne(t Constellation that is worst a""eted by reason o" 7 !lanets ou!ying that
star !lus
Vedha o" Rahu$ %e(t worst hit is Sravana with : male"is in ou!ation !lus Vedha o" ; !lanets$
These two
stars !oint to &u3arat and Ra3!utana surroundings$
%e(t in the intensity o" a""lition are Magha and Visakha$ The "ormer in"luenes Bengal>+rissa
and the
latter, Maharashtra$
Based on the ,oorma Chakra methodology and Constellations a""eted, the !rovines on the
Chinese oast
and South A"ria ome under adverse in"luene denoting loss o" li"e$
The ne(t star in the order o" a""lition is Rohini with as!et o" H !lanets and very little e""ets o"
the ,oota
are "alling on it$ At the worst, only G onstellations are seriously a""eted out o" a total o" :E$ So
it a!!ears
to be a sa"e !ro!osition to !redit that the e""ets o" the ,oota, in general, will be e(!eriened in
3ust
one?"i"th o" the ountry, varying in intensity and that border troubles are indiated in %$/$ Corner
and
mid?#est o" India$ In the 66E7 ,oota, India did not su""er "rom earth1uakes, Bala?!ralaya
'inursion o"
sea into land) et$ barring onse1uenes o" invasion and there should be no earth1uakes and
atastro!hes
o" that sort$
/ven with regard to individuals, those born in the onstellations Ashlesha, .hanishta, Sravana,
Magha,
Visakha and Rohini alone stand to su""er bad luk$ Ill health, adverse>untoward ha!!enings, in
the order
o" !riority given, these being onditioned and limited by their urrent Maha .asa and Bukti$
Those born
on other onstellations have nothing to bother about$ The severe a""litions o" the stars re"erred
to above
is likely to make Rie, #heat, &old and Silver, to some e(tent, dearer$
The above is not Varsha?!hal or &ohara?!hal but is merely a study overing Ashta &raha
,oota only$
Mother /arth has been surviving an Ashta &raha ,oota one every thousand years$ This ,oota
o" 6C7:
is at the worst, third one, a"ter *ord Besus Christ$
,oorma Chakra
Broadly, the arrangement is as "ollows 4
The Central regions "alling under ,artik, Rohin and Mrigasira is treated as the Centre and the
surroundings o" this Centre have been e1ually divided into E diretions$
In the above hart, the "irst : letters o" eah Constellation have been used on the lines o"
Sarvato Bhadra Chakra$
$aha /harata =udha
/ven the !lanetary !ositions are %+T ae!ted by all and the date o" the battle varies by almost
a thousand years aording to those taking the !lanetary !ositions "rom other soures$
However, the ob3et o" !roduing this hart is to establish the fact that there was no C)planet
combination at least aording to one good authority and that the spot where the battle
ra"ed,
,-*-,S.ET*A, is 8ustified by the occupation of the E planets in $eena &3isces5
