Narayana Dasa

 Introduction Narayana dasa is a very important rasi dasa. It is a phalita dasa. It shows general results. Narayana dasa is computed differently for different divisional charts and we can use Narayana dasa of a divisional chart to predict matters related to that divisional chart. Narayana dasa is based on the progression of lagna in one’s life. As one dasa ends and another starts, one rasi stops being the progressed lagna and another rasi becomes one’s progressed lagna. Using the progressed lagna as the reference, we find out the events that happened in that dasa. Thus we get twelve charts for each person, with each chart applicable in one dasa.  This is a very versatile dasa system and readers should pay attention to the details of the calculation.

Some people, however, prefer to see all matters in Ashtottari dasa. Computation Dasas Order of dasas and the length of dasas is as shown in Ta...
