GAJKESARI YOGAM - A STUNNING REVELATION

Gajkesari Yogam is the most powerful yogam but not a common one. Basically as per the various vedic literatures Gajkesari yogam is applied When Jupiter is in kendra to the Moon and vice versa ,all the afflictions in the chart get vanished due to the formation of such yogam like an elephant disappears at the sight of a lion.

The Chaukhambha Edition of Brihat Parashar Hora Shastra holds that the Jupiter must be in angle from the ascendant or the Moon ,Jupiter must be in conjunction with or aspected by benefics . ]

In the given case the BPHS says that neither the moon nor the Jupiter be combust, depressed or situated in the 6th house.

Anayways ,So Jataka Parijata, Brihat parashar Hora Shastra and all these go to confirm one point that the Moon enjoys a prime position and the rashi where it stands is taken as chandra lagna .

Therefore the angular position of the Jupiter with reference to the Moon is significant.

Moon is sensitive and receptive and Jupiter too is auspicious. Jupiter in angle aspecting the Moon with added aspects of Venus and Mercury can give excessive benefits to the moon . However, It must not be forgotten that to ensure full benefits , the strengths and dispositions of the concerned planets must be excellent and unsullied. Needless to say but seems pertinent to mention that the Moon should be pakshabali (Waxing) for optimum good results.

So It is the undisputed strength of Both the Moon and the Jupiter that can make a Gajkesari Yogam potent and powerful.

If the Gajkesari Yogam occurs in one of the Dharma ,Artha, kaama and Moksha Trikonas the significcations can vary. Various Kind of Placement and attributes of GajKesari Yogam :-

i) A Gajkesari Yogam forming in Trinal positions can display a tinge of their traits. Like Dharma can signify pursuits of righteousness showing dominance in various pursuits.

ii) Artha ,material possessions giving wealth.

iii) Kaama the physical enjoyments suggesting material and sensual pleasures.

iv) Moksha ,the final emancipation suggesting spiritual progress.

Reservations of Applicability of Gajkesari Yogam :-

i) The Parashari type of Gajkesari yogam is construed entirely on a different footing . The popular notion that Jupiter and the Moon in mutual angles can cause this yoga , can not have much force. Even cases where Jupiter is in exaltation in an angle form the Moon ,could better be adjudged as hamsa Yogam of the Panchmahapurushyogam group than of gajkesari Yogam.

ii) A very old Tamil Literature Kumarswameeyam gives a entirely different definition . it enjoins that the moon must be waxing being in the bright fortnight and Jupiter be in the 4th or 10th from the said Moon and occupy only Taurus, Pisces ,Aquarius or Sagittarius. Hence Indirectly this yoga is denied to the position of Jupiter and the Moon in other eight signs and Birth in the dark half of the month. Among these accepted four ,Jupiter can be in in Aquarius and Moon in Taurus or vice versa. Even Cancer, an exaltation point of Jupiter and own sign of Moon ,is excluded from the List . It is not known how such limitations are enjoined in the given Tamil classic for the Gajkesari Yogam. Surprisingly , In Pm Modi Chart the Moon is waxing and Jupiter being in Aquarius is a perfect example of the activation of this yogam as per Kumarswameeyam literature.

iii) Like an eminent Astro Wizard Shri C.G. Rajan says in his Tamil translation of Brihat parashar Hora Shastra that the moon and Jupiter must be in mutual angles for causing Gajkesari yogam but adds that mercury must not be in 05 from the moon or get aspected by Mercury .Further the moon Must be free from combustion ,debilitation and depression ( Powerless ) , Lest the Yoga gets annulled. It is intriguing why the Mercury in 05 or its aspect has been mentioned by the Astrowizard.Technically , When Jupiter and moon are in Angles , mercury in 05 from the moon can also be in 02 from Jupiter and can enhance the yoga effects . However different editions and Authors have different views.

iv) Some Holds the view that persons born with Kesari Yogam can grow rich during Venus Dasha. As a very common yogam found in many horoscopes , The Yoga became so uncommon.

The Author's reservations on Gajkkesari Yogam :-

• Moon or Jupiter must be in Angle but Not Conjoined .

• Moon Should be Waxing with Brilliant Rays.

• Jupiter should attain Higher Amsa/ Gopuramsa ,Parvatamsa and Above for enhancing the effects.

• Moon's and Jupiter's dispositors should attain full strength in D1 and D9 charts.

• Venus should aspect either Moon or Jupiter for formation of this yogam in full vigour.

• Jupiter and Moon should not attain malefic Sasthiamsha in D60 chart.

• 
  

The Moon/Jupiter has to be aspected by Venus/Jupiter/Mercury without being depressed or obscured by the Sun.

There are too many manipulations in the original texts by the Neo parashari Astrologers as they seems to be very detrimental & biased because they follow own patterns as per their whims and fancies and applied the dictums blindly on either their Own chart or the celebrity charts. These are the Views and reservations of the author for gajkesari Yogam. The Applicability of this yogam should be with strict reservations and should not be applied blindly for Tom ,Dick and harry. The Extraordinary yogas Work in extraordinary ways in extraordinary charts.

P.S.- I'm enclosing the PM Modi's chart which is a fit example of Gajkesari yogam as per Kumarswameeyum literature. Needless to say but seems pertinent to mention that the Jupiter and Moon has attained Marut and Saumya Sasthiamsha in PM Modi's chart. Both these sasthiamshas are benefics and make the Gajkesari Yogam in his chart extraordinary.
