Kalachakra Dasa

Kalachakra (wheel of fortune) is one of the most important Dasas of Vedic Astrology. It is very powerful although difficult to handle.

Synopsis

Nakshatra Dasas (Vimsottari, Yogini) prove to be very powerful. But there is another aspect in Vedic astrology that has big influence: the Navamsa. Navamsa chart closes the gap between Rasi and Nakshatra chart because Navamsa is the same as the Nakshatra Padas. The magical number 108 connects Rasi and Nakshatra charts.

Kalachakra is (like Vimsottari and Yogini) a Nakshatra based Dasa that depends on the position of the Moon in her Nakshatra. But Kalachakra is the only Navamsa based Nakshatra dasa.

Resources

Kalachakra Dasa is extensively described in Maharishi Parasara's Hora Shastra and in Vaidhyanatha Dikshita's Jataka Parijata. The former tells us that he appreciates Kalachakra as even supreme to Vimsottari Dasa.

An important contemporary book on this subject is Sumeet Chugh's Yogini and Kalachakra Dasa.
