The mysterious 'Nadi Jyotisha' is a unique system of astrology developed by

great sages, centuries and centuries back. Even today, there are many valuable
manuscripts collecting dust in Oriental libraries at Baroda, Pune, Madras
Mysore, Trivandrum, Varanasi etc. The manuscripts of this system contain
certain techniques, usable in predictive astrology which can be rarely found
from other sources. Through the efforts of some modern intellectuals having
deep interest in astrology, such as Chandulal S. Patel, various Nadi Granthas
and rare old books were transcribed into Devanagari and English from their
local languages. Their efforts brought to light many principles for the first time
not known to many so far. The research thereafter on these principles proved
them true in application.
One such principle told in 'Bhrigu-Nandi Nadi' is about prediction of transit
results of a planet on an imaginary mid-point between Rahu and the Moon,
which is known as Bhrigu-bindu. It is calculated after finding out how far the
Moon has progressed from Rahu, after the last conjunction in the natal chart.
This point is very sensitive. When any planet, benefic or malefic (including Rahu
& Ketu) during transit aspects or conjuncts this mid-point, some favourable or
unfavourable event takes place respectively. The effects of transit by
'Conjunction' are more potent than those by 'Aspect'. Sometimes, when two or
more benefic planets simultaneously transit over, or aspect to this Bhrigu-bindu,
the magnitude of the favourable result increases to a very great extent. Same
way if two or more malefic planets transit or aspect to this point, the magnitude
of unfavourable results increases.
The principle is based on Rahu-Moon axis only, hence can also be used by those
persons who know their accurate birth date but birth time is approximately
known.
Conjunction or aspect by various planets to the Bhrigu-bindu may produce
following results:
JUPITER: This slow moving benefic planet may give favourable results such as
progress in studies; birth of brethern; getting employment; marriage; birth of a
child; promotion in service; profits in business; expansion of industry;
pilgrimage; recovery from long standing sickness; fulfillment of long cherished
desires etc.
MERCURY & VENUS: These fast moving benefic planet may give favourable
results such as meeting relations after long time; small gains of wealth; short
pilgrimages; festivities and rejoicing with close relations etc.
SATURN: This slow moving malefic planet may cause long sickness;
disagreement with spouse; her sickness or seperation; sudden loss of wealth;
death of near relations; harm to native himself; etc.
SUN & MARS: These fast moving malefic planets may cause minor sickness or
injury; temporary seperation from nearer relatives; loss of money; quarrels or
misunderstanding etc.
RAHU & KETU: May cause both favourable or unfavourable results, all of a
sudden, on a very big scale and from unexpected sources; bite by snake or
poisonous insects; mental sufferings; enforcement raids by Govt.; theft of
valuables; harassment, degradation in or termination of service; family
dissensions; misunderstandings with spouse
Bhrigu Bindu Progression in Annual Charts
Chandra upapada and Surya upapada are the arudha padas of the 12th house from Moon an Sun respectively. My guru
Pt Sanjay Rath did teach me once what they are supposed to show, but I did not fully understand and hence do not
want to talk about it.
When one does not fully understand what is shown by the 12 house from Moon and the 12th house from Sun, how can
one understand what is shown by their arudha padas?

Regarding Bhrigu Bindus, I have something to say.


I found interesting results when I tried them in annual Tithi Pravesha charts (soli-lunar counterpart of Tajaka varshaphal
charts of solar calendar).
What I did was to find the mid-point of Moon and Rahu (known as "Bhrigu bindu" or BB). Then I progressed it to cover
360 degrees in 360 tithis (soli-lunar days). However, I did not progress with a uniform speed. I progressed it non-linearly
based on Vimsottari dasa years. For example, under Vimsottari dasa, Aswini star gives only 7 years while Bharani star
gives 20 years. So I progressed BB by 360 deg within 360 tithis in the ratio of Vimsottari dasa years. For example,
suppose BB is at the beginning of Aswini in the annual TP chart. Then it will cover Aswini star in the first 7 tithis after
annual TP and cover Bharani star in the next 20 tithis and so on. As you cover all the 27 stars (i.e. 360 deg), you will
then have finished 360 tithis! Thus, BB is progressed slowly in some areas of the zodiac and progressed fast in some
other areas. It is a non-linear progression. I got good results only with this. With normal linear progression, the results
are off by several degrees.
As BB is progressed using the above progression, what I found is that it touches important planetary positions (or 180
deg points from them) on the days of important events. Also, the planet being touched by progressed BB has a link to
the event. Planet's position is not progressed from its position in the annual TP chart and only BB is.
I will give a couple of examples.
I will use my own chart. My birthdata is: 4th April 1970, 5:47:13 pm (IST), Machilipatnam, India (81e12, 16n15).
(1) On 10th Nov 1994, I left India and I have been away since then. The annual TP chart of 1994-95 is cast at 4:46:56
am (IST) on 9th April 1994 (at birthplace). Saturn is the 12th lord in 12th house at 14Aq23. He can show displacement
from motherland. In fact, Saturn's annual Tithi Ashtottari dasa started on 5th Nov 1994 and that brought the move
abroad.
The BB for the year is at 2Cp28. This falls in Uttarashadha star. If we count the tithis from the annual TP time to Nov 10
(i.e. from Phalguna Krishna Chaturdasi to Kartika Sukla Ashtami), we get about 219 tithis (2 tithis in Phalguna month, 30
each in Chaitra, Vaisakha, Jyeshtha, Ashadha, Sravana, Bhadrapada and Aswayuja months and 7 in Kartika month event happened at the beginning of Ashtami). BB progresses thru the remaining part in Uttarashadha in 3 tithis. It
progresses thru 9 stars from Sravanam till Krittika in the next 120 tithis. Thus, we get to the beginning of Rohini after
123 tithis. We have 219-123=96 tithis. Rohini (10), Mrigasira (7), Ardra (18), Punarvasu (16), Pushyami (19), Asresha
(17) and Magha (7) cover 94 tithis out of the 96 tithis. So, at the time of the event, progressed BB is in Poorvashadha
star and progressed 2/20=1/10th through the nakshatra. Poorvashada star starts at 13Le20. If we add 1/10th of a star,
i.e. 1 deg 20 min, we get 14Le40. That is the longitude of progressed BB on 10th Nov. Interestingly, Saturn is at 14Aq23
in the annual TP chart! So the 180 deg point from progressed BB touches Saturn. As mentioned earlier, Saturn is the
12th lord 12th and shows leaving motherland.
(2) On 28th May 1987, I stood state first in my state in Intermediate exams (higher secondary school exams). The
annual TP chart of 1987-88 is cast at 12:31:29 am on 28th March 1987 (at birthplace). The event happened on 28th
May, i.e. Jyeshtha Sukla Pratipat tithi. From Phalguna Krishna Chaturdasi to Jyeshtha Sukla Pratipat, it is
2+30+30+1=63 tithis (event happened at the end of Pratipat).
BB in the annual TP chart is at 4Pi26, i.e. 8.25% into the Uttarabhadra star. So 91.75% of the 19 tithis of Uttarachadra
are left. Thus, progressed BB reaches the end of Uttarabhadra after 19x0.9175=17.5 tithis (approx). Revati (17), Aswini
(7) and Bharani (20) cover the next 44 tithis. The count comes to 61.5 tithis (17.5+44). Now, 1.5 tithis corresponding to
Krittika are left. Krittika belonging to Sun gets 6 tithis. So this is 1/4th of the star. Hence BB is around 0Ta0. Note that
Mars is at 0Ta21 in that annual TP chart! Mars is the lord of the the 5th house of recognition and fame and he occupies
the 6th house of success in competition!
In fact, if we progress BB non-linearly within a nakshatra too, we will realize that progressed BB is not at 0Ta0, but a
little ahead!
*

Essentially, the progression I am talking of here is based on Tribhagi Vimsottari dasa!!! Find Tribhagi Vimsottari dasa
started from BB and map each mahadasa to a star (an arc of 13.33 deg). Within a mahadasa, map each antardasa to
an arc of length 13.333/9 deg. Within each antardasa, map each pratyantardasa to an arc of length 13.3333/81 deg.
And so on. Finding the mahadasa, antardasa, pratyantardasa etc, we can find the longitude of progressed BB.
Dasas have a variable length (Sun dasa corresponding to Krittika is of 6 tithis and Venus dasa corresponding to Bharani
is of 20 tithis), but they cover the same length in the zodiac (13 deg 20 min). Similarly, Sun antardasa in Sun dasa and
Venus antardasa in Sun dasa have different lengths in terms of time, but they should cover the same length in the
zodiac (1/9th of 13 deg 20 min).
This is where I strongly feel that Krishnamurthi (of KP) blundered. There may be many people who feel that his
approach works, but, as I see, it is not based on sound logic. If stars of the same length in terms of degrees have
different lengths in terms of dasa time, why can't the same thing apply to subs (divisions of stars based on antardasas)?
What is the basis for dividing stars non-uniformly in the ratio of dasa/antardasa time? It is totally illogical. Something that
is illogical cannot be correct no matter what thousands of people may say.
This is a hit or miss technique and IMHO not so useful practically. I do not use it in practical predictions. Though I use
annual TP charts, I use TA dasa for timing within a year. I do not use this technique.

However, this kind of techniques should be investigated and refined. Jyotish is an ocean of techniques. Every drop of
this ocean is worth studying.
I am cc'ing this mail to some other groups that may find this interesting.
BTW, I had a blessed trip to India. I visited 25 temples in south India and performed a Sata Chandi homam at a
Kalikamba temple in the first week of March. Everything went great and I am back in US now.

Bhrigu Bindu And Timing of Events


Bhrigu Bindu is an imaginary midpoint of the Rahu - Moon axis and is calculated by deducting the longitude of Rahu
from that of Moon.The difference is divided by 2.The Quotient obtained should be added to Rahu's position and the
result will be the Rahu-Moon midpoint and is called Bhrigu Bindu.
When any planet,benefic or malefic in transit aspects or conjuncts the Bhrigu Bindu,positive or negative results are to
be expected respectively. Conjunctions over this point are more effective than those by aspect.
Jupiter while transiting over Bhrigu Bindu results in progress in studies,obtaining employment,marraige,child birth,profits
and expansion in business,piligrimage,recovery from sickness and fulfillment of long cherished desires.
Fast moving benefic planets like Mercury,Venus transiting over the Brigu Bindu result in meetings with relations after
long time,small gains of wealth,short piligrimages,festivities and enjoyments with relatives and the like.
Saturn while transiting over Bhrigu Bindu will produce unfavourable results such as long sickness,disagreement with
spouse,sickness to spouse,sudden loss of wealth,death of near relations and one's own death provided it is indicated by
other factors too (like vimshottarai dasa etc)
Fast moving Malefic planets like Mars and Sun will cause unfavourable results such as minor sickness,injury,temporary
separation from near relatives,loss of money,quarrels or misunderstandings etc.
The Transit of Rahu/ketu over the Bhrigu Bindu will cause unfavourable results all of a sudden,on a very big scale and
from unexpected sources.Bite by snakes or venomouse insects,mental suffering,trouble from government authorities
like Income tax and enforcement department etc,theft of valuables,harassment,degradation or termination in
service,family troubles,misunderstandings with wife or husband.
When more planets transit over the Bhrigu Bindu transit simultaneously over or aspect this point the effects are
magnifies the benefic or malefic results to a very great extent depending on the nature of planets conjoining/aspecting.
The duration of the effects would prevail during the time the planets conjunct/aspect the point within 3 degrees 20
minutes ( one Navamsa) around the Bhrigu Bindu. Maximum impact would be at the time immediately after the planet
crosses over the Point.
