Bad Haka

Article: Badhaka - I

Lecture on Badhaka delivered in the SJC West Coast conference, USA

The Bädhaka

Concept

Sometimes there is considerable obstruction to whatever we do and no good work is

accomplished. The fate seems to be obstructed and in spite of constant prodding, the obstruction

persists. Bädhaka means obstruction and this can take various forms from a simple irritant at

times to terrible incurable diseases.

Räsi Bädhaka (Obstruction by Sign)

Every sign has a sign of obstruction called Bädhaka Räsi and its lord is called Bädhakesa[1]. This is given in Table A7-1. For example, if the Lagna is

Gemini, then the Bädhaka sign is Sagittarius and its Lord Jupiter becomes the Bädhakesa.

Table 1: Bädhaka Sign

Räsi Bädhaka Räsi Bädhakesa

Aries Aquarius Rahu & Saturn

Taurus Capricorn Saturn

Gemini Sagittarius Jupiter

Cancer Taurus Venus

Leo Aries Mars

Virgo Pisces Jupiter

Libra Leo Sun

Scorpio Cancer Moon

Sagittarius Gemini Mercury

Capricorn Scorpio Ketu & Mars

Aquarius Libra Venus

Pisces Virgo Mercury

The list of Bädhaka Räsi is very systematic and can easily be remembered. Thus, for Movable,

Fixed & Dual Signs the sign of obstruction (Bädhaka) is the 11th, 9th, & 7th house respectively.

The 22nd Drekkana: Khära

The lord of the 22nd Drekkana is the Khäresa and can cause Bädhaka effects i.e. can cause

obstructions and activate the Bädhakesa and other evils.

Other views

Harihara (Prasna Märga) cities two other theories for determination of the “houses of harm” or

bädhaka räsi (table-2). There is yet another view which states that planets in kendra to the

bädhaka räsi shall also be bädhaka signs. This view is not acceptable to most astrologers.

Instead based on the principle of Paraspara Karaka (i.e. doing each other’s job when the

planets/signs are placed in mutual quadrants) the planets placed kendra to the bädhaka shall act

as its cooperators and can instigate the bädhaka into tormenting the native.

Wrath of the Deity

The wrath of the deity is to be judged based on various factors. As indicated, the 12th house

from the Ätmäkäraka is the place of the Ista Devatä and it is from the 12th house from the

Bädhakesa that the past life history of maintenance of the deity is to be deciphered. If the

Bädhakesa in an adverse place and afflicted, and if a Malefic planet is placed in the 12th house

from the Bädhakesa, the indications are that the worshipped image has been mutilated. This

brings the wrath of the deity signified by the Bädhakesa. Depending on the malefic[2] planet/ Upagraha[3] involved, the following can be inferred: -

1. If Gulika/ Rahu: Indicates a curse of the Serpent deity or a serpent having touched the

image of the deity has made it very impure.

2. If Saturn: Pollution /dirt on the image/ temple.

3. If Mars: disputes /bad management of worship/ image/ temple etc.

Fault determination

· Depending on the placement of the Bädhakesa[4],

a) If the Bädhakesa is in Lagna and associates with evil planets, then it is the idol, which has

been mutilated. If Mars aspects/ joins Badhakesh: breaking idol, image or any sacred object

associated with the deity. A fresh idol has to be installed in a temple. If Saturn, Gulika or Rahu

associate, pollution and dirt have made the idol impure. If Sun associates, then it is due to birds.

b) If the Bädhakesa is in the fourth house, then the temple is either broken/ dilapidated

(Mars affliction) and needs repairs, or has been forgotten or unclean (Saturn/Rahu) and needs to

be sanctified.

c) If the Bädhakesa is in the 2nd or 11th house, then the deity’s wealth has been stolen or

misappropriated. This property is either Dhatu[5]<!--[endif]--

>(Inanimate object), Moola (grains, trees, lands etc) or Jeeva (Men, Animals etc) depending on

the Lagna as being movable, fixed or dual if unoccupied. If a planet occupies Lagna, then

Mercury and Jupiter signify Jeeva, Sun & Venus signify Moola and the others (Moon, Mars,

Saturn & Rahu) signify Dhatu. Similarly, the stars reckoned from Aswini are in the order of

Dhatu, Moola & Jeeva.

d) Similarly, inferences can be made from the other houses.

· Depending on the Lord of the sign occupied by Bädhakesa, the Tatva (Element) signified shall indicate the following:

1 Sun/Mars Agni (Fire) Lamp, Candle

2 Venus/moon Jala (Water) Milk, Ghee, Sweetmeats etc.

3 Mercury Prithvi (Earth) Sandalwood paste, perfumed oils etc.

4 Jupiter Akash (Ether) Flowers, garland

5 Saturn Vayu (Air) Dhoop, Dress, Ornaments etc.

Remedial Measures

In case it is inferred that there is ample evidence of the wrath of the deity, then the remedy

should be suggested based on the placement of the Bädhakesa in different houses from Lagna

as given in Table 4 and the planet associated as given in Table 5.

Chart 1: Schizophrenia

In this chart Jupiter is debilitated in both räsi and navämsa and is also retrograde indicating the

wrath of the deva is likely to occur and if it does, it will be impossible to obtain relief due to the

retrogression (ceshtä bala) of Jupiter.

The lagna is Virgo (dual sign) and the seventh house (Pisces) is the bädhaka sign with Jupiter its

lord, becoming the bädhakesa. The twelfth house from Jupiter is aspected by Mars indicating

that an idol of the deity has been broken. The nodes also aspect Sagittarius (the 12th house

from bädhakesa) by räsi drishti indicating that the terrible wrath of the deity. This anger

symbolized by the nodes and Mars constitutes unbroken sarpa yoga (indicating that the native

shall be entangled in poverty and health problems) and Pisaca bädhaka as well (Ketu in

quadrants with Mars aspecting lagna). The magnitude of the anger should be judged in this

manner based on the evil yoga formed by the evil planets aspecting the 12th house from the

bädhakesa.

Every dark cloud has a silver lining and here we find a fine dharmakarmädhipati yoga involving

the lords of the ninth and tenth houses as well as the lagna and second houses. The involvement

of the fifth lord Saturn with this yoga indicates the blessings of fine children who will prosper.

The native lost his mental balance following a fire incident (Jupiter’s ire is always indicated by

fires and religious hatred). He became raving mad and inspite of the best medical attention, he

did not recover. It was a fortunate turn of fate when a nice lady decided to marry him and bore

him two sons. For thirty years his spouse has nursed him and cared for his children. Inspite of

his mental health, he worked as an engineer in the government and took premature retirement

when he could no longer work under the heavy dose of the medicine.

The deity indicated by Jupiter is Mahävishnu (Jagannätha) and remedy was reciting the

Näräyana Kavaca and offering clothes and other gifts at a temple. It was not possible for him to

do this as lunacy prevented him from any coherent effort in this direction.

Wrath of Sarpa Deva

Rahu in 4, 6, 7, 8, 10 or 12 houses requires propitiation. If Rahu is connected in any way with

Bädhakesa, these remedial measures are compulsory. If Jupiter associates with the Bädhakesa

and is placed in a dusthäna[12]and if Rahu is in a

quadrant from Jupiter, then the curse is from superior or divine serpents. If Gulika is in

quadrants instead of Rahu, then these are inferior serpents. If the Sun associates with Rahu,

then the serpents are beneficial and essentially intent in long term good, while the Moon

associating with Rahu shows evil-minded serpents intent on causing disaster. The following

remedies have been prescribed in the Prasna Marga and other traditional texts: -

1. Rahu in 6th, 8th, 10th or Bädhaka House: Sarpa Bali as per prescribed texts.

2. Rahu in 4th House: Installation of image of Sarpa Devatä or dedicate a Chitra Kuta stone

3. Rahu in 12th House: Music & singing.

4. Rahu in first house: Sprinkling milk (Tarpana) over the abode of serpents or over an

image of the Snake God (Nagaraja /Vasuki) in a temple.

5. Rahu in seventh House: Dancing and devotional songs.

6. Rahu in dual sign: dedicate a small serpent made of gold or copper (symbolic of the

baby snakes killed)

7. Rahu in movable sign: small eggs of gold or silver be offered (symbolic of the broken

eggs of the snakes)

8. Rahu in fixed sign: Plant trees (Symbolic of the replacement of the destroyed ant hills

and abodes of the serpents).

Chart 2: Young brilliant astrologer

Generally astrologers should look for the affliction of nodes in their charts as both Rahu & Ketu

give good knowledge of astrology when in trines to navämsa lagna indicating that these planets

are being invoked when charts are being examined. Affliction from the nodes can cause severe

problems for astrologers and it is mandatory for Jyotisha to check sarpa dosa in their charts.

In the chart lagna is Scorpio (fixed sign) and bädhaka house is the ninth house Cancer as per

standard rules given earlier. Bädhakesa Moon does not conjoin Jupiter or Sun indicating that

neither divine serpents nor good/beneficial serpents are involved. Instead, the Moon is the

bädhakesa and dispositor of Rahu (causes association with Moon) and shows evil-minded

serpents intent on causing disaster. We also find the presence of a käla amrita yoga (sister of the

terrible käla sarpa yoga) indicating a spiritual and good person who may have to see

considerable suffering on account of the planets being in the grasp of the nodes. Rahu is not in

4, 6, 7, 8, 10 or 12 houses. Since Rahu is placed in the bädhaka house, the remedial measures

are compulsory.

On the other hand, we find that Rahu placed in bädhaka house is aspecting the Sun placed in

lagna indicating that some superior serpents shall also help him due to some good karma of a

past incarnation. This may manifest in the form of learning subjects like astrology and the occult

sciences. It also indicates Kunòalini yoga or spiritual awakening due to Sri Dakshinämurti or Sri

Dattätreya.

Bädhakesa Moon is placed in the eleventh house indicating misappropriation of the deity’s

wealth. To determine the nature of the wealth we need to see the lagna and here we find the

Sun placed indicating mula (grain, trees or lands). We infer that the native took over lands

occupied by snakes by breaking their eggs (Rahu in movable signs) and dwelling places. The fact

that the dwelling places were destroyed is seen from the presence of Mars in the 12th house

from the bädhakesa Moon and that they were made unfit for the serpents to live is indicated by

Saturn conjoining the Moon.

Planets in kendra to the bädhakesa shall cooperate with it. We find the Venus and Saturn in

kendra to the Moon and these can indicate the sources that will instigate the trouble in the life of

the native. Lord of the 22nd drekkana is Mercury and it is the lord of the sign bädhakesa is

placed in. That is not sufficient condition for instigation when other more serious factors exist.

Rahu is also the ätmakäraka indicating that the birth is due to these sins/wrath of the sarpa

devatä. The native shall be very spiritual and shall learn to be totally honest and he cannot cheat

others although he shall be cheated by others.

Remedial measures recommended -

• Donate nine (Rahu in 9th house) gold eggs at a Sivä linga and pray for forgiveness [one

time];

• Sprinkle milk (abhiseka) on Nagaraja, the snake god at a Sivä temple (Sun in lagna

aspected by Rahu) to bring the blessings of the superior serpents [every year on

birthday-janma tithi];

• Donate some trees or land;

• Worship Sri Balabhadra sincerely everyday.

Wrath of Parents

The Bädhaka sign should be Aries/ Scorpio (indicating the anger/ fire of Mars) to show the

presence of a curse. The Sun (natural significator of father) should be in this Bädhaka sign in

Räsi or Navämsa to show the curse of father. Similarly, the Moon (natural significator of mother)

should be in the aforementioned Bädhaka sign to show the curse of Mother.

The Bädhakesa associated with Leo & with Mars/Saturn shows the anger/sorrow of the father or

some paternal elder respectively. The Bädhakesa associated with Cancer & with Mars/Saturn

shows the anger/sorrow of the mother or some maternal elder respectively.

The 6th lord in 9th house or 9th lord in 12th house or the Sun in the sixth shows the displeasure

of father. Similarly, the 6th lord in 4th house or 4th lord in 12th house or the Moon in the 6th

house shows the displeasure of mother.

Serve your parents if they are alive. Perform Shraddh or work for some elderly persons in the

memory of your parents if they are dead. Mars so placed shows the curse of brother, Venus of

spouse etc. The ritual called Tila homa can be performed if the parent is dead.

Chart 3: Fathers ire

In this chart lagna is Pisces and the bädhaka sign is Virgo and bädhakesa is Mercury. The Sun is

the sixth lord placed in lagna and aspects the bädhaka sign and is also placed in Scorpio

navämsa (ruled by Mars). Thus one of the conditions for the anger of father is fulfilled. The ninth

lord Mars is in the 12th house with the bädhakesa Mercury. Yet another dictum is fulfilled. Since

the Sun is in lagna the native earned the anger of father (from childhood itself) for various acts

related to girlfriends and later due to umpteen misunderstandings related to his marriage

proposals and possible spouses, life pattern etc. He could never see eye to eye with his father on

any matter.

Saturn & Ketu conjoin in the eleventh house indicating that he shall not perform the last rites of

his father and that such a misdeed can be the cause of his misfortune.

Chart 4: Emperor Aurangzeb

The great Mogul Empire has one issue of infamy and that relates to the regular ascension to

power by a son after slaying the heir apparent and/or father or imprisoning them. Let us

examine the chart of emperor Aurangzeb for classic combinations in this regard. The lagna is

Aquarius (fixed sign) and the bädhaka sign is Libra the ninth house lorded by Venus

(bädhakesa). The planet causing räjayoga is the Sun as it is debilitated in räsi and exalted in

navämsa thereby causing nicabhanga räjayoga. Such a Sun, which promises him räjayoga, is

also placed in the bädhaka sign in Aries navämsa (ruled by Mars). Thus, one of the conditions for

the wrath of father is fulfilled. Aurangzeb killed his brothers and imprisoned his father (till death)

and grabbed the Mogul Empire. Nicabhanga räjayoga and ire of father functioned simultaneously.

Of course the question of remedy normally arises when people perceive that they are going to

lose something on account of wrath of devas/parents. If instead they are foolish enough to think

that the apparent material gains (like that of an empire by Aurangzeb) is worthwhile even if

father has to spend the remaining days in a dungeon, then god help their souls.

Preta Bädhaka (Spirits of the dead)

If the funeral ceremonies or annual rites called Shraddh of the dead are not performed, then, it

is believed that such a dead person remains in the form of a Pisaca & affects relations. The

presence of Gulika/ Ketu in the Bädhaka sign shows the danger. The malefic associating with

Gulika shows the cause of death of the Pisaca.

• If Gulika/ Ketu is in any manner associated with Mars by conjunction, aspect or is

placed in Aries or Scorpio, it shows sudden death or accident, burns, weapons, smallpox

etc.

• If instead of Mars, the association was with Saturn, misery & poverty may be the cause

of death.

• Rahu associating with Gulika shows snakebite and other deadly poisons.

Similarly, the sign[13] occupied by Gulika/Ketu show

the sex of the Pisaca. If Gulika associates with the 4th house or lord in some manner, then the

Pisaca is related to the family, if not, then it is from outside. The astottariamsa[14] is the age of the Preta/Pisaca. Other details can be

learnt from standard texts. Remedies include Parvana Shraddh, Tila Homa etc. Depending on the

affliction, Püja/mantra of Ugra Devatä should be prescribed.

Drishti Bädhaka (Evil eye)

The “evil eye” has been classified as three kinds of demons. Their names are always “Kamas” as

the evil eye is causes by desire (Käma).

1. Ranthu Kamas causes worries and is indicated by the Bädhakesa in Lagna or associating

with Lagna Lord and Gulika.

2. Hanthu Kamas is intent on killing, and is seen by the association of the Bädhakesa with

the 6th or 8th house or its lord and the Lagna or Lagna lord. Relief comes from the

aspecting benefic planet.

3. Bali Kamas desires some form of Bali (sacrificial offering). This is indicated by Rahu

/Gulika is in 4th, 5th, 7th or 8th house. If 6th lord conjoins /aspects, the problem is due

to enemy’s action.

Always look for a natural benefic planet in quadrants to the Rahu/ Gulika or aspecting or

associating with the Bädhaka. Gemstones of the benefic planet should be worn and the deities

indicated should be worshipped and given offerings.

Abhicara (Black magic)

Indications of black magic are:

1. Bädhakesa association with 6th house or lord, or

2. 6th lord in 1st, 7th, or 12th house as Mars occupies as aspects Lagna.

3. Ketu is 1st, 4th, or 10th as Mars aspect Lagna.

Position of Gulika indicates this stuff used for black magic. Mritunjaya Japa, Ganapati or Tila

Homa indicates the relief. The basic motive for black magic is driving the enemy away from the

locality, kill him or cause Lunacy[15]. Anything can

be done against him like giving him food (polluted)/burying material inside his house etc.

Chart 5: Multiple combinations

She left her birth place and went to Saudi for job in April'1999 and came back to Australia in

Sept'2000. She started seeing a muslim boy in August 1999 and was engaged to him on the

21st Oct 1999 but ultimately the marriage did not take place. Around July'1999, while in Saudi

Arabia, she started seeing ghosts and spirits. She feels that a woman, who had threatened her

earlier on account of relationship jealousy - used black magic against her. She miscarried a child

in April 2000 and then gave birth to a daughter in April 2001 in Australia. While in Saudi Arabia

she had a lot of lucid dreams of snakes. This lady is reported to have very high passion that

leads her into various relationships and subsequent troubles. She is not happy with her own

passion and feels guilty about it.

Sarpa yoga: The lagna is Capricorn (movable sign) and the bädhaka räsi is the eleventh house

Scorpio owned by Mars and co-owned by Ketu. The lagna kendra has three malefic planets Rahu,

mars and Ketu and does not have any benefic planet indicating the presence of unbroken Sarpa

yoga. Such natives will be very passionate and shall also suffer from financial hardships and

many troubles on account of such relationships. They will be entangled in these affirs like in the

coils of a serpent and shall suffer consequently. Remedy: Rahu in first house indicates that

sprinkling milk (tarpana) over the abode of serpents or over an image of the snake god

(Nägaräja /Vasuki) in a temple should help curtail the problems from the Sarpa yoga.

Abhicara/black magic: The sixth (and ninth) lord Mercury is exalted and involved in a dharma-

karmädhipati yoga with the yoga karaka Venus. Venus gets nicabhanga as (1) Mercury is exalted

and conjoins it and (2) mercury is in a quadrant from the Moon. There is no association between

the bädhakesa and the sixth lord either in räsi or navämsa. Mars is in lagna but the sixth lord is

not in 1st, 7th or 12th house nor associated with bädhakesa. Pisaca bädhaka exists as Ketu is in

a quadrant and Mars is in lagna but then Ketu is not in 1st, 4th or 10th houses to cause black

magic. Thus we may infer that this is not a case of black magic.

Drishti Bädhaka (Evil eye): The bädhakesa Mars is in lagna and associates with Rahu and Gulika

confirming that she shall suffer from drishti bädhaka (evil eye) caused by käma (desire). The

specific form is called Ranthu käma and Hanthu or Bali käma are not present in the chart. Gulika

is in a female sign and navämsa indicating that the evil eye shall be that of a lady/female. The

navämsa of Gulika is Taurus indicating that jealousy caused by love affair or such related matter

shall be the real motivation. However, Hanthu käma cannot kill and the intention is to cause lots

of troubles. We can infer that her statement about a lady threatening her because of a

relationship related issue and using some ‘evil eye’ incantations against her is true although such

act is not with the intention to kill. The magic used is not abhicara (black magic) but is some

incantations or such rituals of a rudimentary level. The dream of snakes indicates trouble from

enemies and confirms this reading.

Preta bädhaka: Ketu in a quadrant aspected by bädhakesa Mars that conjoins Gulika indicates

that the last rites of a near relative (a lady) were not performed and she probably died of poison

or some sudden death. Such a preta bädhaka is causing some terrible experiences. Remedy:

Mrityunjaya mantra japa is the best panacea against all evils.

Remedial measures

Jupiter[16] & ninth lord help /protect. A natural

benefic in the ninth or ninth Lord in strength in a quadrant or Jupiter in Lagna/aspecting Lagna

are a few of the combinations for protection. If malefic are in quadrant to them, they will

strongly block the efficacy. The ninth Lord can also be the Lord of 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 & 12 houses

respectively. For example, if the ninth Lord is also Lord of second house then, start the remedial

process by worshipping the Kula devatä.

If any planet conjoined or aspected by a natural benefic or a natural benefic itself, is in Lagna,

then the deity indicated by the planet shall surely protect the person.

If the ninth Lord associates with the Bädhaka House or Bädhakesa, then the deity he worshipped

in his previous birth has been neglected, thereby leading to misfortune and troubles. If the

fourth Lord is associated with the Bädhaka House or Bädhakesa, then it is the Grama Devatä. If

the second Lord associates with the Bädhaka House or Bädhakesa, then it is the Kula Devatä.

Advise resumption of worship immediately.

Om Tat Sat

 [1] Badhak means obstruction and Isa means the

Lord. Thus, Badhakesh refers to the Lord of the sign of obstruction. Another synonym for Badhak

is Vighna and for Badhakesh is Vighnesha which refers to Ganesha, the remover of obstacles.

That is why Ganesha is always worshipped before commencing any prayer or Pooja. The twelve

names of Ganesha (given by Narada Muni) as given in the Ganesha Yantra (Fig 5-6) remove the

obstrction from the twelve signs.

 [2] In this case, the natural malefic planets are

Rahu, Saturn and Mars only. The non-luminous Upagraha Gulika is also to be considered in these

matters.

 [3] Non Luminous points in the Zodiac that are akin

to the Graha, hence the name Upagraha.

 [4] Ref: Prasna Marga (Chapter 15 Sloka 11)

 [5] literally Dhatu means metal, but in the broader

sense refers to inanimate objects.

 [6] Ref: Prasna Marga (Chapter 15 Sloka 12)

 [7] Seated on Throne or with spouse etc.

 [8] Dancing with the Mahamantra is considered very

auspicious, especially if the seventh house from Lagna is associated in any manner with the

Badhakesh.

 [9] The rulership of the Tatwa (elements) have

already been indicated in the Table A7-4. For example, if the Badhakesh is in Leo ruled by the

Sun, the Fire element is vitiated. If this also happens to be the 8th house, then the lamp has to

be offered to the deity (Bhoota Bali) or the Holy Fire has to be worshipped with the relevant

mantra like “Om Hum Rum Chaitanyayai Namah” (Bhoota Pooja).

 [10] Yogic Posture is generally indicated.
