Predicting through Karakamsha & Jaimini's Mandook Dasha

by K.N. Rao

K.N. Rao's first book Predicting through Jaimini's Chara Dasha is the most notable landmark in the application of Jaimini astrology.  There never existed an book to show how Jaimini astrology could be made use of for predictions.  In Jaipur where the book was subjected to severe testing, they declared in September 1995 that the book represented the greatest advance in Jaimini astrology in the last two thousand years.  Rao was given a gold medal for the work.  The present work, Predicting through Karakamsha and Jaiminis Mandook Dasha is another revolutionary landmark in the advance of Jaimini's predictive systems.  No book on Jaimini astrology has illustrated any feature of this dasha.  All writers on Jaimini only land you in a confusion without showing how a dasha should be used actually for predictions.  The author is justified in saying that those who are writing books on astrology have done so without themselves understanding the meaning of the sutras they have translated.  The author shares with readers his findings in the practical application and uses of the Mandook dasha with the usual confidence of the best astrologer researcher of India who can challenge his readers to test his research first before criticizing or accepting it.  More than thirty worked-out examples have been given by the author to prove the validity of his research.  He had it tested on hundreds of horoscopes and then presented it in a seminar of the astrology faculty of the bhartiya Vidya Bhawan where the research was blind-tested on a horoscope.  The book starts with a discussion about Karakamsha and Swamsha and the totally erroneous understanding of padas by all writers of Jaimini astrology.  The author provokes you to think, and test his research.  Do that and you will have learnt another effective predictive method of become an intellectually efficient astrologer.
