Atma (soul), Mana (mind) and Tanu (body).

These correspond to the i) Charakarakas, ii)

Naisargika karakas and iii) Sthira karakas respectively. The dhi or intelligence is an
addition to these three, which has been created by Vasudeva (refer creation). Through the
lagna we have Bhaava. Look up the sanskrit word for this and you will find that it means
much more than ust house. !t means "approach# or "manner of acting$condition, state etc#.%o
each bhaava in the chart shows&i) how we approach a certain aspect of life (bhaava itself)ii)
how we are approached by those people indicated by those aspects of life (bhaavesha '
lordship)
(or now i will omit the )hara karakas from this discussion. *e are thus left with&i. the
analysis of the mana$mind (karaka) and its e+periences with certain bhaavas.ii. the analysis
of the mana$mind (karaka) and its e+periences with certain people (bhavesha).
Bhaava from Lagna shows how you approach those various activities in life. !.e. if you have
,ars in tenth you will be aggressive in work. !f you have %aturn in tenth you will be very
slow and take your time to finish things. !f you have nodes in seventh you may cheat on your
wife (ref& sarvartha chintamani). -ow why do you think .arasara says that if ,ars is in
seventh the native will have three broken marriages/!t has to do with ones approach, and
naturally how you approach is what you get.
Bhaava in the rasi shows how "!# approach the various aspects of my life, but to get a
detailed understanding of the character and traits of other people i must see the divisional
chart associated with them. !n a sense the 0asi is the self'centric view of everything, and thus
becomes the most important chart. !.e. %eventh house in rasi shows how ! approach
relationships, but its the seventh house in navamsa through which i can describe the spouse
and his$her traits.Bhaava from Karaka shows how we e+perience various activities in life.
!.e. the sambandha between Venus and the fourth house shows how our e+perience of
vehicles and similar comforts impact our .10)1.T!2- of vehicles. The sambandha
between Venus and the seventh house will show how we see relationships and how they
affect us. !.e. ! have Venus in the second house and have had to come to terms with a very
warped idea about relationships as the seventh house will sit in the si+th (celibacy,
competitions, etc) from Venus. 3ad malefics also been placed in the seventh (wrong
approach), or the seventh lord was associated with malefics (wrong partners) this could have
been disastrous.Bhaavesh from Karaka shows how we e+perience various people in our
life. !.e. the sambandha between Venus and the seventh lord shows how the specific partners
affect us in life and make us feel. Thus the e+perience of married life vs. the e+perience of
having a spouse$partner can be completely different things.
The Karakabhava, i.e. for 4uru& ninth house$lord from 5upiter, or for relationships& seventh
house$lord from Venus, show how that specific person is brought to your ,ana$mind. The
ninth house is there for every lagna, but yet not everyone has a 4uru. %o also if the ninth
house$lord from 5upiter is under influence this will affect how ones 4uru comes into ones
life, or is inhibited from the same. %imilarly everyone has a father, but if the ninth house$lord
from %un is afflicted then one may be separated from the father. Thus here we are analy6ing
to the various people coming to your attention$mind$mana.
(inally Karaka itself shows the overall nature of ones e+periences related to that karaka. !f
Venus is afflicted the person will not look very happily at the prospect of relationships, i.e.
Venus oined %un, ,ars, %aturn, 0ahu and 7etu can show& 1go, 8nger, %orrow, %hock and
3eadlessness as problems in relationships respectively. The more of these afflicting the same,
the worse the situation, but this is attributed to the self and is a result of being in e+periences
with other people, but not necessarily caused by other people.
*hew9.. there is a lot more such as the sambandha between lords Tithi, Vara, -akshatra,
:oga and 7arana with the various bhaavas, not to speak of the use of )hara karakas which
are the most important.
! have given e+amples of these karaka$bhava principles in the seventh house chapter in my
book. ! do recommend referring to the same for further understanding.

Bhava !bhava adhi"ati and bhava karaka

one is strong only feeble results will be e+perienced .when both are weak then no result
occurs.
karakas are very important in determining the nature of the result. it also shows the means of
getting the results.There are many karakas in astrology. say father is denoted by Cth house.
