Naväàça Chart: 8 types of marriage
SJC America Conference, 2006Friday, August 4: PM (1:30 to 4) Sanjay Rath
Marriage definition
• Freedom of women and guardianship, which automatically implies lack of freedom, is an important consideration in the type/nature of the marriage and its definition in any society. For example, Anthropology defines marriage as a socially approved sexual and economic union between a man and a woman. This is a very dull witted definition.
• A spousal relationship has been defined by Çré Kåñëa for Kali Yuga as a commitment between two souls for a period of one year. [Marriage of Draupadi with the Pandava].
• If the marriage breaks before this period and the partners do not seek other spousal relationship then this can be considered as a marriage else, it shall be yet another manifestation of sexual ties for gratification and should be examined from malefic influences on the däräpada A7 and the seventh house.
• Widow remarriage has also been approved by Çré Kåñëa. [He married 1600 widows who He freed to save them from social ostracism]
Mahäåñi Jaimini Upadeça
• The third and ninth houses become crucial in marriage as these houses show the dharma of the marriage and that of the native respectively.
• Seventh house is the house of marriage and the ninth (dharma) from this is the third house. There can be four levels of dharma definition based on the nature of the sign in the third house as fire, water, air and earth (agni, jala, väyu and påthvi tatva) or from its lord and planets therein.
• These houses of engagement viz. the 3rd and 9th, from the lagna and Sun, and the äruòha emanating from these houses forms the engagement plank and determines the marriage process and fruits of marriage are accordingly ascertained.
Eight types of marriage
• There are eight kinds of marriage as defined in Manu Småti applicable to the four varëa. These are Brähma, Daiva, Ärña, Präjäpatya, Äsura, Gändharva, Räkçaça, and Paiçäca. These eight forms of marriage are also explained by Yäjïavalkya (i.i, 58-61)
• Manu has stated that he will explain the ‘dharma of each varëa’ implying that these are the nature of the all
beings of a particular varëa and not governmental or social laws in any way.
• It is in the nature of someone belonging to a varëa (profession or career) to imbibe the guëa of that profession and very few saintly people like Saint Ramdas, the guru of Chatrapati Shivaji are not affected by profession and continue in their work like karma Yogi – beyond the guëa as they have no attachment to the fruits of their karma or professions.
Acceptability based on varëa
Most translators have missed this point that the Paiçäca marriage is prohibited although listed among the 8 forms explicitly as
añöamoadhamaù Paiçäca
Äsura & Paiçäca Prohibited form
Brähma, Daiva, Ärña, Präjäpatya ⫹ Äsura & Gändharva Präjäpatya , Äsura , Gändharva Sudra (Physical Labor)
Brähma, Daiva, Ärña, Präjäpatya ⫹ Äsura & Gändharva Präjäpatya , Äsura , Gändharva Vaiçya (Businessmen, traders)
Manu has disallowed the spiritually higher forms of marriage for kñatriya, vaiçya and sudra for perhaps ‘political’ reasons. He has also added Gandharva and Asura forms which are prohibited for Kñatriya by the Rishis.
Brähma, Daiva, Ärña, Präjäpatya ⫹ Räkçaça Präjäpatya , Äsura , Gändharva , Räkçaça Kñatriya (Warriors or Security related people)
Asura and Gandharva marriage is prohibited for Brähmaëa by the Rishi’s but Manu has diluted this condition
Brähma, Daiva, Ärña, Präjäpatya
Brähma, Daiva, Ärña, Präjäpatya, Äsura, Gändharva Brähmaëa (Intellectuals) Comments Rishi advise Manu’s advise Varëa
Planets governing the eight types
1. Brähma Viväha: Jupiter – groom seeks bride due to her skills and abilities
2. Daiva Viväha: Mars – unable to find suitable groom, she weds a priest or seeks groom at a function; kumbha viväha remedy
3. Ärña Viväha: Moon – marriage to a seer, professor etc. 4. Präjäpatya Viväha: Sun – bride seeks groom; progeny 5. Äsura Viväha: Mercury – bride price paid; money rules 6. Gändharva Viväha: Venus – physical or sexual
attraction; love marriage
7. Räkçaça Viväha : Saturn – kidnapped or forced/coerced into marriage; political marriage; Fear and insecurity in bride
8. Paiçäca Viväha : Rähu (or Ketu) – intoxicate, rape, mentally unstable bride, stealthy seduction; prohibited
Navämça: Dangerous relationships etc.
• Ketu (Piçaca marriage) and Mars in the 8thor 12thhouse
show that the spouse shall be murdered by the native. • Ketu and Mars in 2ndor 6thhouse indicates that the
native is murdered by spouse.
• Sun strong in navämça lagna [Çiva blessing] or Moon strong in 3rdhouse from navämça lagna [Pärvaté
blessing] shows that the native lives longer than spouse. • Venus strong in navämça lagna is the blessing of
måtyunjaya Çiva and the native can live through the most dangerous situations.
• Saturn is dangerous but tends to cause separation instead.
• Saturn & Rähu together can be deadly • Jupiter & Rähu – murder in the sign
• Saturn & Jupiter – native and assailant shall both die.
Signs, planets and sexuality
1. The nature of the sign in the seventh house of the navämça or that of its lord will determine the nature of sexuality – signs are numbered for convenience of memorizing Aries 1, Taurus 2 etc)
– 1, 2, 5, 9 are quadruped signs showing animal type – 4, 8 are many legged showing insect type
– 10, 12 are birds signs showing very active
– 3, 6, 7, 11 are human signs (Note that 3, 6 & 11 are trika houses) showing human type
2. The planets in the 7thhouse also show the nature of
sexuality based on their tatva
1. Jala tatva – Moon and Venus shows highest sexuality 2. Väyu tatva – Saturn and Rähu shows unnatural and wastage 3. Agni tatva – Sun, Mars and Ketu can show protection as well as
normal drive based on health and age factors
Planets in 7
thhouse in D9: About spouse
1. Sun: Spouse reads or loves music or plays musical instrument;straight hair; short height like a bird; egoistical or self-centered; lives longer than native; large head
2. Moon: Beautiful; native is very sexual and if associated with AK, the native has liaisons with married women
3. Mars: Cruel and having hatred; loss of limb; sports; anger; logical and argumentative
4. Mercury: Jovial and friendly; literature, writing and friends 5. Jupiter: Learned, beautiful, fortunate and very good natured,
spiritual
6. Saturn: Old and behave like a hag; always working; cold and disinterested
7. Rähu: Widow, always thinking and confused; abstract thinking; mathematics; astrology and not normal birth; outward teeth 8. Ketu: Very good in mathematics and numbers; computers;
spiritual; small machines; small head; inward teeth or pectoral wisdom teeth
Factors: significator Venus.
1. If Venus is afflicted the nature shall suffer in
relationships as the native’s partner suffers setbacks. If two or more malefic planets afflict Venus and if the ätmakäraka and 8thlord are involved, a curse sets in and
marriage can be denied and delayed considerably.
2. Rähu afflicting shows experiences related to cheating in marriage or spousal relationships
3. Saturn brings in untold misery and unending suffering 4. Mars causes death and physical injury resulting in loss
of limbs or body parts while
5. Ketu can bring forth fatal accidents, suicides and very shocking experiences.
6. Mercury although a benefic indicates ‘Asura’ viväha and brings in financial issues related to marriage that can cause severely dented relationships or simply
Factors: significator Venus
7. Although the Sun is considered a malefic (krura) planet, its conjunction with Venus is actually beneficial for marriage. A majority of stable marriages have the Sun-Venus conjunction resulting in Prajäpatya viväha which is the religious marriage Venus is placed far away from the sun, in separate signs tends to cause cold relationships and either excessive sexuality or complete abstinence.
8. The Moon conjoining Venus is blessing bringing good fortune, on the spouse and the couple prospers after marriage.
9. Jupiter conjoining Venus is the blessing of Shiva for excellent progeny as the marriage is blessed being a ‘Prajapati Brahma’ viväha.
10. Affliction of Venus should be examined in the Räçi, Navamsa, Saptäàça and Ñañöiäàça charts.
The Seventh house
• Just as we examined the affliction to Venus, the same should be examined from the 7th lord and 7th house to determine the status and nature of spouse in the
Navämça chart.
• The 7th lord and seventh house in the Räçi chart show the details of the kind of spouse one is looking for and gets.
• Thus the seventh house factor show the external manifestation, circumstances etc. that the native seeks, and gets in spouse while the same in the navämça shows and the ‘inside story’ of the marriage.
• These very factors (of planets afflicting Venus) when associated with the 8thhouse in navämça show the *real
Reckoning each spouse
Subsequent spouses are seen from every eight houses reckoned from the 7th house in navämça. The lords of these houses from Venus show how the spousal contact happens. 12th 12thSpouse 6th 6thSpouse 5th 11thSpouse 11th 5thSpouse 10th 10thSpouse 4th 4thSpouse 3rd 9thSpouse 9th 3rdSpouse 8th 8thSpouse 2nd 2ndSpouse 1st 7thSpouse 7th 1stSpouse House Marriage House Marriage
Chart 1: Brahma Marriage
1. Marriage was decided by the parents of the bride and groom. The latter flew down just a day before marriage and had never met the spouse before the marriage date.
2. Ideally this should be called a Präjäpatya viväha as the marriage is not decided on the basis of qualifications of the couple and instead for the sake of progeny and lineage continuity. The Sun in 7thhouse
Chart 1: Naväàça
1. The 7thlord Mars conjoins Jupiter to confirm Brahma marriage
while the co-lord of 7thhouse Ketu is in Gemini and is weaker than
Mars. Ketu can indicate some mistakes but the marriage is clearly confirmed by the Jupiter - Mars conjunction.
2. Marriage occurred in Aug 1993 in Saturn daçä Jupiter antardaçä Ketu pratyantara. Reckoned from däräpada A7 in Cp, these planets are placed in the sukha trikoëa (trines to 4thhouse) and 5th/9th.
3. Tithi Añöottari daçä: Sun daçä Venus antardaçä
Chart 2: Brahma Marriage
• Marriage was decided by the parents of the bride and groom after the brides father happened to meet the groom during a public talk and then the grooms father approached the brides father with the marriage proposal.
Chart 2: Analysis
1. The 7thlords Mars and Ketu are aspected by both Rähu
and Jupiter, but Jupiter is stronger as it has the conjunction of the Moon.
2. Among the planets, the Jupiter & Moon are in quadrants proving to be stronger than others and confirming the Brahma marriage.
3. Timing of the marriage is done from däräpada A7 which is in Virgo. Planets in dharma trikoëa from A7 are Saturn and Mercury and there is an exchange between the two in addition to Sun and Venus in 9th
house. Planets in trines to the 4thhouse from A7 - Rähu.
The native married in Rähu-Sat-Rähu Vimçottari daçä. 4. Tithi añöottari daçä: Mars daçä Mercury antardaçä 5. Ketu & Mars in 6thhouse are brought in check by
vargottama lagna with Venus + Sun in it. The native had three very close death encounters after marriage.

Adolf Hitler
Examine the two loves in his life…what was his attitude to love and marriage? Did he commit suicide?
Adolf Hitler Navämça
Geli Raubel his niece and first love was shot on September 8, 1931…Eva Braun his second love and wife died one day after their marriage.
Adolf Hitler - notes
Geli Raubel also complained about the way Hitler controlled her life. On September 8, 1931, Hitler left for Hamburg after having a blazing row with Geli over her desire to spend some time in Vienna. Hitler was heard to shout at Geli as he was about to get into his car: "For the last time, no!" After he left Geli died due to a bullet that was shot through her heart.
When he heard the news Hitler threatened to take his own life but was talked out of it by senior members of the Nazi Party. One consequence of Geli's suicide was that Hitler became a vegetarian. He claimed that meat now reminded him of Geli's corpse!
Eva Braun, 23 years younger than Hitler, had agreed to share his fate. A local magistrate married them early on the morning of April 29, 1945. The next day at a little after 3:30 p.m., they bit into thin glass vials of cyanide. As he did so, Hitler also shot himself in the head with a 7.65 mm Walther pistol.
Those who entered Hitler's suite saw him lying on a blood-soaked sofa. Eva Braun lay on the sofa beside him, but she had made no use of the revolver at her side, preferring to take the poison instead. Hitler's body was wrapped in a
blanket and carried, along with Eva Braun's, up four flights of steps and into the garden of the chancellery. Both bodies were doused with gasoline and burned.

Anne's sister, Mary Boleyn, had previously been King Henry's mistress (see Associated 4), beginning in 1519 and 'officially' ending in 1521 when she was 'conveniently' married to William Carey. There is a rumour that Mary's two children were Henry’s, though they were born after the affair had officially ended. There is rumor that Boleyn's mother had been Henry's mistress as well! On 2 May 1536, Boleyn was arrested at luncheon and taken to the Tower of London. On May 17, 1536 — the day Boleyn's alleged "four lovers" were publicly beheaded — she was stripped of her title as queen and her daughter Elizabeth was declared illegitimate. On the morning of May 19, 1536 she was beheaded.

• Observe that Anne was the first normal marriage after King Henry married two ladies in waiting to the first queen
• And he has Saturn (servant) as the 7thlord in the 6thhouse –
native is attracted to one who is a servant or serves him. • And Moon daçä with Moon in
6thhouse in D9 was continuing
The marriage was annulled on the grounds that it had never been consummated! and she was given a generous settlement, including Hever Castle showing that they agreed that they just did not get along well with each other — Anne had been raised in the small provincial court at Düsseldorf and shared none of the musical and humanistic literary tastes of Henry's court — and they split on amicable terms.
It was all one big mistake as is indicated by Ketu.

King Henry VIII: Fifth Marriage
UL5 Married 5: Catherine HOWARD (Queen of England) 28 Jul 1540, Oatlands Palace/ Hampton Court Palace, Richmond, England
• As a young and very attractive lady-in-waiting (again!) to Henry's fourth German wife, Queen Anne of Cleves, Catherine quickly caught the attention of the King.
• Their quick marriage a month after the divorce reflected Henry's lifelong urgency to secure the Tudor succession by bearing healthy sons.
A casual upbringing in the licentious atmosphere of the Duchess's household led Catherine to a romance with her music teacher, Henry Manox around 1536. Later she had a 'pre [nuptial] contract' with a young secretary, Francis Dereham. Despite her wealth and power, Catherine found her marital relations with a graying Henry unappealing. In 1541, she started a relationship with Thomas Culpepper and later also appointed previous lovers Henry Mannox as one of her musicians and Francis Dereham as her private secretary! Catherine was arrested on November 12, 1541 stripped of her title as queen on November 22. At 7 am of February 13, 1542 she was beheaded.
