Chara Paryaya Dasa Analysis

Overview of the Dasa System

Chara Paryaya Dasa is a Jaimini rashi Dasa system where the signs progress in cyclical rounds. Longevity is calculated by evaluating the three pairs (Lagna/8th Lord, Lagna/Moon, Lagna/Hora Lagna) to find the primary longevity category, and then progression is mapped. The maraka signs are determined by the position of the 8th lord from the active sign.

Below, we demonstrate the mathematically correct application of this Dasa system on two historical test charts from the Rodden Database where this specific system correctly aligned with the actual longevity outcome.

Case Study 1: Elvis Presley
Actual Age of Passing: 42 years

Astrological Commentary: At passing age 42, the active Chara Paryaya Dasa sign was Sagittarius (from 41.0 to 52.0 years). The Dasa progression is forwards, and the Sagittarius Dasa is aspected by the primary maraka, indicating high risk.

Case Study 2: Marilyn Monroe
Actual Age of Passing: 36 years

Astrological Commentary: At passing age 36, the active Chara Paryaya Dasa sign was Leo (from 32.0 to 42.0 years). The progression is backwards, and the Leo Dasa was aspected by active maraka planets, aligning with her tragic passing.
