BDHAKA

Concept
Sometimes there is considerable obstruction to whatever we do and no good work is accomplished.
The fate seems to be obstructed and in spite of constant prodding, the obstruction persists. Bdhaka
means obstruction and this can take various forms from a simple irritant at times to terrible
incurable diseases.
Ri Bdhaka (Obstruction by Sign)
Every sign has a sign of obstruction called Bdhaka Ri and its lord is called Bdhakea[1]. This is
given in Table A7-1. For example, if the Lagna is Gemini, then the Bdhaka sign is Sagittarius and its
Lord Jupiter becomes the Bdhakea.

The list of Bdhaka Ri is very systematic and can easily be remembered. Thus, for Movable, Fixed
& Dual Signs the sign of obstruction (Bdhaka) is the 11th, 9th, & 7th house respectively.
The 22nd Drekkaa: Khra
The lord of the 22nd Drekkaa is the Khrea and can cause Bdhaka effects i.e. can cause
obstructions and activate the Bdhakea and other evils.
Other views
Harihara (Prana Mrga) cities two other theories for determination of the houses of harm or
bdhaka ri (table-2). There is yet another view which states that planets in kendra to the bdhaka
ri shall also be bdhaka signs. This view is not acceptable to most astrologers. Instead based on
the principle of Paraspara Karaka (i.e. doing each others job when the planets/signs are placed in
mutual quadrants) the planets placed kendra to the bdhaka shall act as its cooperators and can
instigate the bdhaka into tormenting the native.

Wrath of the Deity

The wrath of the deity is to be judged based on various factors. As indicated, the 12th house from
the tmkraka is the place of the Ia Devat and it is from the 12th house from the Bdhakea
that the past life history of maintenance of the deity is to be deciphered. If the Bdhakea in an
adverse place and afflicted, and if a Malefic planet is placed in the 12th house from the Bdhakea,
the indications are that the worshipped image has been mutilated. This brings the wrath of the deity
signified by the Bdhakea.
Depending on the malefic[2] planet/ Upagraha[3] involved, the following can be inferred: 1. If Gulika/ Rahu: Indicates a curse of the Serpent deity or a serpent having touched the image of
the deity has made it very impure.
2. If Saturn: Pollution /dirt on the image/ temple.
3. If Mars: disputes /bad management of worship/ image/ temple etc.

Fault determination

Depending on the placement of the Bdhakea[4],

a) If the Bdhakea is in Lagna and associates with evil planets, then it is the idol, which has been
mutilated. If Mars aspects/ joins Badhakesh: breaking idol, image or any sacred object associated
with the deity. A fresh idol has to be installed in a temple. If Saturn, Gulika or Rahu associate,
pollution and dirt have made the idol impure. If Sun associates, then it is due to birds.

b) If the Bdhakea is in the fourth house, then the temple is either broken/ dilapidated (Mars
affliction) and needs repairs, or has been forgotten or unclean (Saturn/Rahu) and needs to be
sanctified.
c) If the Bdhakea is in the 2nd or 11th house, then the deitys wealth has been stolen or
misappropriated. This property is either Dhatu[5](Inanimate object), Moola (grains, trees, lands etc)
or Jeeva (Men, Animals etc) depending on the Lagna as being movable, fixed or dual if unoccupied. If
a planet occupies Lagna, then Mercury and Jupiter signify Jeeva, Sun & Venus signify Moola and the
others (Moon, Mars, Saturn & Rahu) signify Dhatu. Similarly, the stars reckoned from Aswini are in
the order of Dhatu, Moola & Jeeva.
d) Similarly, inferences can be made from the other houses.
Depending on the Lord of the sign occupied by Bdhakea[6], the Tatva (Element) signified shall
indicate the following:

Remedial Measures
In case it is inferred that there is ample evidence of the wrath of the deity, then the remedy should
be suggested based on the placement of the Bdhakea in different houses from Lagna as given in

Chart 1: Schizophrenia

In this chart Jupiter is debilitated in both ri and navma and is also retrograde indicating the
wrath of the deva is likely to occur and if it does, it will be impossible to obtain relief due to the
retrogression (ce bala) of Jupiter.
The lagna is Virgo (dual sign) and the seventh house (Pisces) is the bdhaka sign with Jupiter its lord,
becoming the bdhakea. The twelfth house from Jupiter is aspected by Mars indicating that an idol
of the deity has been broken. The nodes also aspect Sagittarius (the 12th house from bdhakea) by
ri di indicating that the terrible wrath of the deity. This anger symbolized by the nodes and
Mars constitutes unbroken sarpa yoga (indicating that the native shall be entangled in poverty and
health problems) and Piaca bdhaka as well (Ketu in quadrants with Mars aspecting lagna). The
magnitude of the anger should be judged in this manner based on the evil yoga formed by the evil
planets aspecting the 12th house from the bdhakea.
Every dark cloud has a silver lining and here we find a fine dharmakarmdhipati yoga involving the
lords of the ninth and tenth houses as well as the lagna and second houses. The involvement of the
fifth lord Saturn with this yoga indicates the blessings of fine children who will prosper.
The native lost his mental balance following a fire incident (Jupiters ire is always indicated by fires
and religious hatred). He became raving mad and inspite of the best medical attention, he did not
recover. It was a fortunate turn of fate when a nice lady decided to marry him and bore him two

sons. For thirty years his spouse has nursed him and cared for his children. Inspite of his mental
health, he worked as an engineer in the government and took premature retirement when he could
no longer work under the heavy dose of the medicine.
The deity indicated by Jupiter is Mahviu (Jaganntha) and remedy was reciting the Nryaa
Kavaca and offering clothes and other gifts at a temple. It was not possible for him to do this as
lunacy prevented him from any coherent effort in this direction.
Wrath of Sarpa Deva
Rahu in 4, 6, 7, 8, 10 or 12 houses requires propitiation. If Rahu is connected in any way with
Bdhakea, these remedial measures are compulsory. If Jupiter associates with the Bdhakea and is
placed in a dusthna[12]and if Rahu is in a quadrant from Jupiter, then the curse is from superior or
divine serpents. If Gulika is in quadrants instead of Rahu, then these are inferior serpents. If the Sun
associates with Rahu, then the serpents are beneficial and essentially intent in long term good, while
the Moon associating with Rahu shows evil-minded serpents intent on causing disaster. The
following remedies have been prescribed in the Prasna Marga and other traditional texts: 1. Rahu in 6th, 8th, 10th or Bdhaka House: Sarpa Bali as per prescribed texts.
2. Rahu in 4th House: Installation of image of Sarpa Devat or dedicate a Chitra Kuta stone
3. Rahu in 12th House: Music & singing.
4. Rahu in first house: Sprinkling milk (Tarpana) over the abode of serpents or over an image of the
Snake God (Nagaraja /Vasuki) in a temple.
5. Rahu in seventh House: Dancing and devotional songs.
6. Rahu in dual sign: dedicate a small serpent made of gold or copper (symbolic of the baby snakes
killed)
7. Rahu in movable sign: small eggs of gold or silver be offered (symbolic of the broken eggs of the
snakes)
8. Rahu in fixed sign: Plant trees (Symbolic of the replacement of the destroyed ant hills and abodes
of the serpents).
Chart 2: Young brilliant astrologer

Generally astrologers should look for the affliction of nodes in their charts as both Rahu & Ketu give
good knowledge of astrology when in trines to navma lagna indicating that these planets are being
invoked when charts are being examined. Affliction from the nodes can cause severe problems for
astrologers and it is mandatory for Jyotia to check sarpa doa in their charts.

In the chart lagna is Scorpio (fixed sign) and bdhaka house is the ninth house Cancer as per
standard rules given earlier. Bdhakea Moon does not conjoin Jupiter or Sun indicating that neither
divine serpents nor good/beneficial serpents are involved. Instead, the Moon is the bdhakea and
dispositor of Rahu (causes association with Moon) and shows evil-minded serpents intent on causing
disaster. We also find the presence of a kla amrita yoga (sister of the terrible kla sarpa yoga)
indicating a spiritual and good person who may have to see considerable suffering on account of the
planets being in the grasp of the nodes. Rahu is not in 4, 6, 7, 8, 10 or 12 houses. Since Rahu is
placed in the bdhaka house, the remedial measures are compulsory.
On the other hand, we find that Rahu placed in bdhaka house is aspecting the Sun placed in lagna
indicating that some superior serpents shall also help him due to some good karma of a past
incarnation. This may manifest in the form of learning subjects like astrology and the occult sciences.
It also indicates Kualini yoga or spiritual awakening due to r Dakimurti or r Datttreya.
Bdhakea Moon is placed in the eleventh house indicating misappropriation of the deitys wealth.
To determine the nature of the wealth we need to see the lagna and here we find the Sun placed
indicating mula (grain, trees or lands). We infer that the native took over lands occupied by snakes
by breaking their eggs (Rahu in movable signs) and dwelling places. The fact that the dwelling places
were destroyed is seen from the presence of Mars in the 12th house from the bdhakea Moon and
that they were made unfit for the serpents to live is indicated by Saturn conjoining the Moon.
Planets in kendra to the bdhakea shall cooperate with it. We find the Venus and Saturn in kendra
to the Moon and these can indicate the sources that will instigate the trouble in the life of the
native. Lord of the 22nd drekkaa is Mercury and it is the lord of the sign bdhakea is placed in.
That is not sufficient condition for instigation when other more serious factors exist.
Rahu is also the tmakraka indicating that the birth is due to these sins/wrath of the sarpa devat.
The native shall be very spiritual and shall learn to be totally honest and he cannot cheat others
although he shall be cheated by others.
Remedial measures recommended

Donate nine (Rahu in 9th house) gold eggs at a iv liga and pray for forgiveness [one time];
Sprinkle milk (abhieka) on Nagaraja, the snake god at a iv temple (Sun in lagna aspected by
Rahu) to bring the blessings of the superior serpents [every year on birthday-janma tithi];
Donate some trees or land;
Worship r Balabhadra sincerely everyday.

Wrath of Parents
The Bdhaka sign should be Aries/ Scorpio (indicating the anger/ fire of Mars) to show the presence
of a curse. The Sun (natural significator of father) should be in this Bdhaka sign in Ri or Navma
to show the curse of father. Similarly, the Moon (natural significator of mother) should be in the
aforementioned Bdhaka sign to show the curse of Mother.
The Bdhakea associated with Leo & with Mars/Saturn shows the anger/sorrow of the father or
some paternal elder respectively. The Bdhakea associated with Cancer & with Mars/Saturn shows
the anger/sorrow of the mother or some maternal elder respectively.

The 6th lord in 9th house or 9th lord in 12th house or the Sun in the sixth shows the displeasure of
father. Similarly, the 6th lord in 4th house or 4th lord in 12th house or the Moon in the 6th house
shows the displeasure of mother.
Serve your parents if they are alive. Perform Shraddh or work for some elderly persons in the
memory of your parents if they are dead. Mars so placed shows the curse of brother, Venus of
spouse etc. The ritual called Tila homa can be performed if the parent is dead.
Chart 3: Father's ire
In this chart lagna is Pisces and the bdhaka sign is Virgo and bdhakea is Mercury. The Sun is the
sixth lord placed in lagna and aspects the bdhaka sign and is also placed in Scorpio navma (ruled
by Mars). Thus, one of the conditions for the anger of father is fulfilled. The ninth lord Mars is in the
12th house with the bdhakea Mercury. Yet another dictum is fulfilled. Since the Sun is in lagna the
native earned the anger of father (from childhood itself) for various acts related to girlfriends and
later due to umpteen misunderstandings related to his marriage proposals and possible spouses, life
pattern etc. He could never see eye to eye with his father on any matter.
Saturn & Ketu conjoin in the eleventh house indicating that he shall not perform the last rites of his
father and that such a misdeed can be the cause of his misfortune.
Chart 4: Emperor Aurangzeb

The great Mogul Empire has one issue of infamy and that relates to the regular ascension to power
by a son after slaying the heir apparent and/or father or imprisoning them. Let us examine the chart
of emperor Aurangzeb for classic combinations in this regard. The lagna is Aquarius (fixed sign) and
the bdhaka sign is Libra the ninth house lorded by Venus (bdhakea). The planet causing rjayoga
is the Sun as it is debilitated in ri and exalted in navma thereby causing ncabhaga rjayoga.
Such a Sun, which promises him rjayoga, is also placed in the bdhaka sign in Aries navma (ruled
by Mars). Thus, one of the conditions for the wrath of father is fulfilled. Aurangzeb killed his brothers
and imprisoned his father (till death) and grabbed the Mogul Empire. Ncabhaga rjayoga and ire
of father functioned simultaneously.
Of course the question of remedy normally arises when people perceive that they are going to lose
something on account of wrath of devas/parents. If instead they are foolish enough to think that the
apparent material gains (like that of an empire by Aurangzeb) is worthwhile even if father has to
spend the remaining days in a dungeon, then god help their souls.

Preta Bdhaka (Spirits of the dead)

If the funeral ceremonies or annual rites called Shraddh of the dead are not performed, then, it is
believed that such a dead person remains in the form of a Piaca & affects relations. The presence of
Gulika/ Ketu in the Bdhaka sign shows the danger. The malefic associating with Gulika shows the
cause of death of the Piaca.

If Gulika/ Ketu is in any manner associated with Mars by conjunction, aspect or is placed in Aries
or Scorpio, it shows sudden death or accident, burns, weapons, smallpox etc.
If instead of Mars, the association was with Saturn, misery & poverty may be the cause of death.
Rahu associating with Gulika shows snakebite and other deadly poisons.

Similarly, the sign[13] occupied by Gulika/Ketu show the sex of the Piaca. If Gulika associates with
the 4th house or lord in some manner, then the Piaca is related to the family, if not, then it is from
outside. The atottariama[14] is the age of the Preta/Piaca. Other details can be learnt from
standard texts. Remedies include Parvana Shraddh, Tila Homa etc. Depending on the affliction,
Pja/mantra of Ugra Devat should be prescribed.
Di Bdhaka (Evil eye)
The evil eye has been classified as three kinds of demons. Their names are always Kamas as the
evil eye is causes by desire (Kma).
1. Ranthu Kamas causes worries and is indicated by the Bdhakea in Lagna or associating with
Lagna Lord and Gulika.
2. Hanthu Kamas is intent on killing, and is seen by the association of the Bdhakea with the 6th or
8th house or its lord and the Lagna or Lagna lord. Relief comes from the aspecting benefic planet.
3. Bali Kamas desires some form of Bali (sacrificial offering). This is indicated by Rahu /Gulika is in
4th, 5th, 7th or 8th house. If 6th lord conjoins /aspects, the problem is due to enemys action.
Always look for a natural benefic planet in quadrants to the Rahu/ Gulika or aspecting or associating
with the Bdhaka. Gemstones of the benefic planet should be worn and the deities indicated should
be worshipped and given offerings.
Abhicara (Black magic)
Indications of black magic are:
1. Bdhakea association with 6th house or lord, or
2. 6th lord in 1st, 7th, or 12th house as Mars occupies as aspects Lagna.
3. Ketu is 1st, 4th, or 10th as Mars aspect Lagna.
Position of Gulika indicates this stuff used for black magic. Mritunjaya Japa, Ganapati or Tila Homa
indicates the relief. The basic motive for black magic is driving the enemy away from the locality, kill
him or cause Lunacy [15]. Anything can be done against him like giving him food (polluted)/burying
material inside his house etc.

Chart 5: Multiple combinations

She left her birth place and went to Saudi for job in April'1999 and came back to Australia in
Sept'2000. She started seeing a muslim boy in August 1999 and was engaged to him on the 21st Oct
1999 but ultimately the marriage did not take place. Around July'1999, while in Saudi Arabia, she
started seeing ghosts and spirits. She feels that a woman, who had threatened her earlier on account
of relationship jealousy used black magic against her. She miscarried a child in April 2000 and then
gave birth to a daughter in April 2001 in Australia. While in Saudi Arabia she had a lot of lucid dreams
of snakes. This lady is reported to have very high passion that leads her into various relationships
and subsequent troubles. She is not happy with her own passion and feels guilty about it.
Sarpa yoga: The lagna is Capricorn (movable sign) and the bdhaka ri is the eleventh house Scorpio
owned by Mars and co-owned by Ketu. The lagna kendra has three malefic planets Rahu, mars and
Ketu and does not have any benefic planet indicating the presence of unbroken Sarpa yoga. Such
natives will be very passionate and shall also suffer from financial hardships and many troubles on
account of such relationships. They will be entangled in these affirs like in the coils of a serpent and
shall suffer consequently.
Remedy:
Rahu in first house indicates that sprinkling milk (tarpana) over the abode of serpents or over an
image of the snake god (Ngarja /Vasuki) in a temple should help curtail the problems from the
Sarpa yoga.
Abhicara/black magic: The sixth (and ninth) lord Mercury is exalted and involved in a dharmakarmdhipati yoga with the yoga karaka Venus. Venus gets ncabhaga as (1) Mercury is exalted and
conjoins it and (2) mercury is in a quadrant from the Moon. There is no association between the
bdhakea and the sixth lord either in ri or navma. Mars is in lagna but the sixth lord is not in
1st, 7th or 12th house nor associated with bdhakea. Piaca bdhaka exists as Ketu is in a quadrant
and Mars is in lagna but then Ketu is not in 1st, 4th or 10th houses to cause black magic. Thus we
may infer that this is not a case of black magic.
Di Bdhaka (Evil eye): The bdhakea Mars is in lagna and associates with Rahu and Gulika
confirming that she shall suffer from di bdhaka (evil eye) caused by kma (desire). The specific
form is called

Ranthu kma and Hanthu or Bali kma are not present in the chart. Gulika is in a female sign and
navma indicating that the evil eye shall be that of a lady/female. The navma of Gulika is Taurus
indicating that jealousy caused by love affair or such related matter shall be the real motivation.
However, Hanthu kma cannot kill and the intention is to cause lots of troubles. We can infer that
her statement about a lady threatening her because of a relationship related issue and using some
evil eye incantations against her is true although such act is not with the intention to kill. The magic
used is not abhicara (black magic) but is some incantations or such rituals of a rudimentary level. The
dream of snakes indicates trouble from enemies and confirms this reading.
Preta bdhaka: Ketu in a quadrant aspected by bdhakea Mars that conjoins Gulika indicates that
the last rites of a near relative (a lady) were not performed and she probably died of poison or some
sudden death. Such a preta bdhaka is causing some terrible experiences. Remedy: Mtyujaya
mantra japa is the best panacea against all evils.
Remedial measures
Jupiter[16] & ninth lord help /protect. A natural benefic in the ninth or ninth Lord in strength in a
quadrant or Jupiter in Lagna/aspecting Lagna are a few of the combinations for protection. If malefic
are in quadrant to them, they will strongly block the efficacy. The ninth Lord can also be the Lord of
2, 4, 6, 8, 10 & 12 houses respectively. For example, if the ninth Lord is also Lord of second house
then, start the remedial process by worshipping the Kula devat.
If any planet conjoined or aspected by a natural benefic or a natural benefic itself, is in Lagna, then
the deity indicated by the planet shall surely protect the person.
If the ninth Lord associates with the Bdhaka House or Bdhakea, then the deity he worshipped in
his previous birth has been neglected, thereby leading to misfortune and troubles. If the fourth Lord
is associated with the Bdhaka House or Bdhakea, then it is the Grama Devat. If the second Lord
associates with the Bdhaka House or Bdhakea, then it is the Kula Devat. Advise resumption of
worship immediately.

[1] Badhak means obstruction and Isa means the Lord. Thus, Badhakesh refers to the Lord of the sign
of obstruction. Another synonym for Badhak is Vighna and for Badhakesh is Vighnesha which refers
to Ganesha, the remover of obstacles. That is why Ganesha is always worshipped before
commencing any prayer or Pooja. The twelve names of Ganesha (given by Narada Muni) as given in
the Ganesha Yantra (Fig 5-6) remove the obstrction from the twelve signs.
[2] In this case, the natural malefic planets are Rahu, Saturn and Mars only. The non-luminous
Upagraha Gulika is also to be considered in these matters.
[3] Non Luminous points in the Zodiac that are akin to the Graha, hence the name Upagraha.
