Introduction
Maharshi Parasara taught tens of dasa systems in “Brihat Paaraasara Horaa Saastram”. He only taught the
calculations and did not elaborate the purpose and use of each dasa. He probably expected the learners to
figure them out. Kaala dasa and Chakra dasa were two of the dasas taught by him. Kaala means “time” and
chakra means “wheel”. In this article, we will look into those two dasas.
Kaala dasa and Chakra dasa are both of 120 years and both are based the division of the day into 4 parts.
While Kaala dasa is of planets, Chakra dasa is of signs. My view is that these two dasas are to be combined
and used together.
It must be clarified that this article is not based on any secret knowledge preserved in a parampara or on any
long and extensive research project. Though the calculations presented in this article are based on Parasara’s
unambiguous teachings, the judgment of results is based on my insights after meditating on the verses of
Parasara and some limited research that followed. When the ideas were tested with a few charts, there were
very interesting results. The research was not extensive, but I feel that it is significant enough to share with
others. With the limited time I have, I may not be able to do any further justice to these findings. If my
findings are recorded, I hope that some keen students of Jyotish will study this research in future and refine
the knowledge.
Four Parts of the Day
These two dasas depend on the division of the day into four parts – (1) morning sandhya (dawn) time, (2)
day time, (3) evening sandhya (dusk) time, and (4) night time.
Sunrise is the time when the center of Sun is exactly on the eastern horizon, i.e. lagna and Sun are exactly
conjoined. Sunset is the time when the center of Sun is exactly on the western horizon, i.e. lagna is exactly
180 degrees from Sun. If we divide the time period from sunrise to sunset into six equal parts, the first part
belongs to dawn, the next four parts constitute the daytime and the last part belongs to dusk. If we divide the
time period from sunset to the next sunrise into six equal parts; the first part belongs to dusk; the next four
parts constitute the nighttime; and, the last part belongs to the dawn (of the next day).
Suppose sunrise happens at 6 am and sunset happens at 6pm everyday. Then dawn is from 4 am to 8 am,
daytime is from 8 am to 4 pm, dusk is from 4 pm to 8 pm and nighttime is from 8 pm to 4 am.
Computation of Kaala Dasa
In Kaala dasa, dasas always start with Sun dasa and go as Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus,
Saturn, Rahu and Ketu. There are two cycles of these nine dasas. All the eighteen dasas together give 120
years.
Find the fraction that has elapsed in the portion of the day (dawn or day or dusk or night). The first cycle of
nine dasas gives the same fraction of 120 years. Then find the fraction that is yet to come in the portion of
the day. The second cycle of nine dasas gives the same fraction of 120 years.
Suppose sunrise is at 6 am and sunset is at 6 pm. Suppose someone is born at 5 pm. Evening sandhya (dusk)
starts at 4 pm and lasts till 8 pm. So birth happened in sandhya. The length of this portion of the day is 4
hours. Out of it, 1 hour has elapsed at 5 pm. This is one-fourth of the entire length of the portion of the day
(dusk). Then one-fourth of 120 years, i.e. 30 years, is the length of the first cycle of nine dasas. The length of
the second cycle of nine dasas is 90 years.
In each cycle, the length of the cycle is divided by 45 to get the length of the first dasa of Sun. It is multiplied
by 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 to get the lengths of Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, Rahu and Ketu
dasas (respectively).

7 x ((120–F) / 45)
8 x ((120–F) / 45)
9 x ((120–F) / 45)
Let us take the first cycle in the above example. The length of the first cycle of nine dasas is 30 years. If we
divide it by 45, we get 2/3 year. So Sun dasa is of 2/3 year, i.e. 8 months. Moon dasa is 2 x 2/3 = 1 1/3 year,
i.e. 1 year 4 months. Mars dasa is 3 x 2/3 = 2 years. Mercury dasa is of 4 x 2/3 = 2 2/3 years, i.e. 2 years 8
months. And so on.
Let us take the second cycle in the above example. The length of the second cycle of nine dasas is 90 years.
If we divide it by 45, we get 2 years. So the dasas of Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn,
Rahu and Ketu are of 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16 and 18 years (respectively).
Computation of Chakra Dasa
If the birthtime is in day time, then dasas start from the sign containing the lagna lord. If the birthtime is in
night time, then dasas start from the sign containing lagna. If the birthtime is in sandhya time (dawn or dusk),
then dasas start from the sign containing the 2nd house.

In all cases, dasas go zodiacally and cover the twelve signs. Each dasa is of ten years. The total is 120 years.
NOTE: Jagannatha Hora 7.33 (or higher) computes Kaala dasa and Chakra dasa accurately, based on the
teachings of Parasara as described in this article.
Judgment of Kaala and Chakra Dasas
Kaala dasa and Chakra dasa are both of 120 years and both are based the division of the day into 4 parts.
While Kaala dasa is of planets, Chakra dasa is of signs. My view is that these two dasas are to be combined
and used together.
Judge the placement of Kaala dasa planet with respect to the Chakra dasa sign and influences on that planet,
to judge the results in a dasa. It seems to show some key events in life well, but not all events. Let us
illustrate this with a few examples.
Example 1: Rajiv Gandhi
Birthdata: 1944 August 20, 7:12 am (IST), 72e49, 18n58
Events:
(1) Became India’s Prime Minister in early November 1984.
(2) Lost power in elections on 1989 November 24.
(3) Was assassinated on 1991 May 21.
His Kaala dasa calculation is as follows:
Kaala Dasa:
Sun: 1944-08-20 - 1946-06-05
Moon: 1946-06-05 - 1950-01-08
Mars: 1950-01-08 - 1955-05-30
Merc: 1955-05-30 - 1962-08-08
Jup: 1962-08-08 - 1971-08-02
Ven: 1971-08-02 - 1982-05-10
Sat: 1982-05-10 - 1994-12-09
Rah: 1994-12-09 - 2009-04-21
Ket: 2009-04-21 - 2025-06-24
Sun: 2025-06-24 - 2026-05-06
Moon: 2026-05-06 - 2028-02-02
Mars: 2028-02-02 - 2030-09-15
Merc: 2030-09-15 - 2034-03-05
Jup: 2034-03-05 - 2038-07-13
Ven: 2038-07-13 - 2043-10-04s
Sat: 2043-10-04 - 2049-11-05
Rah: 2049-11-05 - 2056-10-22
Ket: 2056-10-22 - 2064-08-21
Chakra dasa is more straight-forward. Because birth occurred in sandhya time (dawn/dusk), dasas start from
the 2nd house and go as:
Chakra Dasa:
Vi: 1944-08-20 - 1954-08-20
Li: 1954-08-20 - 1964-08-20
Sc: 1964-08-20 - 1974-08-20
Sg: 1974-08-20 - 1984-08-20
Cp: 1984-08-20 - 1994-08-21
Aq: 1994-08-21 - 2004-08-20
Pi: 2004-08-20 - 2014-08-21
Ar: 2014-08-21 - 2024-08-20
Ta: 2024-08-20 - 2034-08-21
Ge: 2034-08-21 - 2044-08-20
Cn: 2044-08-20 - 2054-08-21
Le: 2054-08-21 - 2064-08-21
All the events happened in the Kaala dasa of Saturn and the Chakra dasa of Cp.
At the time of event (1), Saturn was transiting in Li. So Kaala dasa planet was the exalted 1st lord in 10th
from Chakra dasa sign. That can suggest important rise in career.
At the time of event (2), Saturn was transiting in Sg. So Kaala dasa planet was 1st lord in 12th from Chakra
dasa sign. That shows losses.
At the time of event (3), Saturn was transiting in Cp. So Kaala dasa planet is the 1st and 2nd lord in 1st house
in marana karaka sthana from Chakra dasa sign. The 8th lord of natal rasi chart, Jupiter, aspects him from Cn.
This can show death.
Example 2: John F Kennedy
Birthdata: 1917 May 29, 4:00 pm (4:00 west of GMT), Brookline, MA, USA (71w7’18”, 42n19’54”).
Events:
(1) Elected as US senator in 1952 November.
(2) Elected as US President on 1960 Nov 8.
(3) Was assassinated on 1963 November 22.

Event (1) happened in the Kaala dasa of Jupiter and the Chakra dasa of Cn. At the time, Jupiter was
transiting in Ar, i.e. 9th lord transiting in the 10th house from Cn. It shows a good rise in career.
Event (2) happened in the Kaala dasa of Jupiter and the Chakra dasa of Le. At the time, Jupiter was transiting
in Sg, i.e. 5th lord transiting in the 5th house from Le. It shows getting power.
Event (3) happened in the Kaala dasa of Jupiter and the Chakra dasa of Le. At the time, Jupiter was transiting
in Pi, i.e. the 8th lord transiting in the 8th house from Le. It can show death.

Event (1) happened in the Kaala dasa of Saturn and the Chakra dasa of Ar. Saturn was transiting in Aq then,
i.e. the 10th lord was transiting in the 11th house and aspecting the 5th house from the Chakra dasa sign. This
can give a rise in career.
Event (2) happened in the Kaala dasa of Saturn and the Chakra dasa of Ta. Saturn was transiting in Vi then,
i.e. 9th and 10th lord transiting in the 5th lord from the Chakra dasa sign. This can give power.

Event (1) happened in the Kaala dasa of Rahu and Chakra dasa of Sc. At the time, Rahu was transiting in the
7th house from Sc with Jupiter. From Sc, 4th lord Rahu and 5th lord Jupiter were together in 7th. That can give
a powerful position. However, there was Guru-Chandala yoga associated with them and her elevation came
after the untimely death of India’s Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri.
Event (2) happened in the Kaala dasa of Ketu and Chakra dasa of Sg. Ketu is the 12th lord from Sg and he
was transiting in the 5th house at that time and he was in deep gandanta. Transit of 12th lord in 5th in deep
gandanta made her lose power.
Event (3) happened in the Kaala dasa of Sun and Chakra dasa of Cp. At that time, Sun was transiting in the
12th house from Cp with Mercury. The 6th lord Mercury and 8th lord Sun in 12th from Cp gives Viparita Raja
Yoga. This shows a complete reversal. Her congress party alliance went up from From 88 seats to 374 seats,
while the ruling Janata party alliance slipped from 228 seats to mere 34 seats. This was a complete reversal.
Example 6: Al Gore
Birthdata: 1948 March 31, 12:58 pm (5:00 west of GMT), 77w02, 38n54.
Events:
(1) Elected as US Congressman on 1976 November 2.
(2) Elected as US Senator on 1984 November 6.
(3) Elected as US Vice President on 1992 November 3.
(4) Lost US Presidential election in mid-December 2000.

lagna lord or 2nd house in a divisional chart as the seed and find find Chakra dasa. Rasi chart transit of Kaala
dasa planet with reference o the divisional chart based Chakra dasa sign seems to suggest the main event in
the area of life shown by that divisional chart. We will see some examples related to navamsa.

dharma with a close conjunction with 7th and 9th lords, from the Chakra dasa sign. It can explain marriage.
Conclusion
Some of my findings on Kaala dasa and Chakra dasa were outlined for the benefit of students and
researchers. It is hoped that interested researchers will put this knowledge to use and possibly refine it in
future. If you do not find this knowledge useful, please ignore it. If you find it useful, please feel to use it,
refine it and spread it. There is a lot of knowledge in BPHS that still needs to be understood and refined.
