Definition (why?)In Kali yuga, human beings will become dull owing to their indulgence in sinful deeds and,

therefore, be considerable and expound a system of study for the persons who would behaving slow perceptions and though which they could gain a clear knowledge about theirhappiness, sorrows and longevity merely by delineating the positions of planets intransit. (BPHS, CHAPTER 68)

akavarga is a system which comes directly from Sage Prara. Prarapresented akavarga as a simple technique to be used in Kali yuga sopeople can easily make reasonable predictions.

Aa means eight, ka refers to the ri and varga means division, hence eight

types of divisions in the ri chart. Thus, in akavarga we draw eightcharts, for seven planets and lagna.

Definition (Sthna & karaa)Each of the eight charts have their special system of contribution, dependingon the nature of the astakavarga, i.e. If one would draw the astakavarga

of ukra, the contribution of each planet will indicate the supportingfactors for marriage and relationships.

In each of these vargas or charts, a positive contribution is called sthana. A

negative contribution is called karana. For simplicity most authorsrestrict themselves to the use of bindu (dot) and rekha (line).In our parampara positive contribution is called bindu and negative is called

rekha. Some authors are using the opposite terms; rekha for positiveand bindu for negative contribution. We shall consider Bindu asauspicious for this work.

Bindu will show actual strength of the Bhva/Graha, while the rekha willshow the lack of the same.

Definition (what)We use astakavarga to see what support is given from environment

(grahas) for prosperity and potential of that particular graha andits significations. In another words, what can be done! So, wespeak about the system which tells us benefic positions of lagna

and seven planets with respect to each other.Prara tells us that this system will not contradict results of othersystems. This statement indicates that its blind application maylead one in wrong direction . Its application must be balanced

with the basic principles of astrology....results of this Shastra will neither contradict nor repeat the results propoundedearlier and will benefit one and all. (BPHS, CHAPTER 68)

CalculationEach planet has its ownindividual contribution in everyastakavarga.Those places where there is no

bindu or positive contribution,there will reside rekha ornegative contribution.An example is given for Gurus

contribution in the astakavargaof Srya.

Srya in applicationPrara states: Attributes like atma, deha and father are to beconsidered from the Sun.

Srya is karaka for atma (here defined as atma jnana and hencespirituality), karaka for deha (health), Pitru (father), and more.

The astakavarga of Srya will help us understand how our spirituality,health and other karakatvas of Srya are being supported by other

planets.

The Bhvas receiving contribution of Guru in the astakavarga ofSrya will show the gurus influence in our spiritual matters.

Other karakasJust as Gurus contribution shows the support we receive from

spiritual leaders/priests in spirituality and health, so alsothe other planets will show the influence of their karakatvasin these matters.

The contribution that Srya himself receives in his ownastakavarga will show the people who areinfluencing the natives spirituality and health.

Health is seen in ri whilst spirituality is seen in vimsma.Individual astakavarga should be prepared for each varga.
