Death – Puzzle Solved Accurately by Ash

Dear Readers,

There was a puzzle given on yahoogroups forum on 20th February 2006, in which I had participated.  It was for solving a puzzle in which the time frame of death was to be predicted. 

In this article I shall be producing the puzzle and my reply in which I had correctly pin pointed the proper Mahadasha and Antar Dasha of death, as I had written, and I shall also be providing the solution on how I reached my conclusion using Krushna’s Ashtakavarga System.

Here is a chart of my distant cousin who is no more. Kindly note the birth details:

  Female

  14 November 1978

  02:38 Hrs, New Delhi

She passed away between 1990 and 2000. Those Jyotisha’s who want to attempt the puzzle, only have to find out the Mahadasha, Antardasha and hopefully the prayantardasha (we can analyze this later too in which the death occurred.

You could also specify a period. Please give astrological reasons, and if possible, give the reasons for her death.

Three important things:

  1. Her mother passed away exactly 14 days after she passed away.

  2. She has a surviving elder sister.

  3. It was a sudden death.

I welcome everyone to try and attempt this puzzle. I will not entertain any private emails in this regard and will give the answer on Feb 27th 2006.

  Thanks and Regards

My attempt on 23rd February 2006 was as follows

“

Dear Bharat,
I feel that the very end of Su-Sa might be fatal for the native or Su-Me antra can be fatal for both.

I am using Krushnas ayanamsa.

Sun/Saturn 1996-Mar-14 thru 1997-Feb-24

Sun/Mercury 1997-Feb-24 thru 1998-Jan-01

Shani has max power for 8th house in combined Ashtakvarg power so its very end i.e. say from 1997/feb might give death to the native.

Otherwise Mercury is lagna lord and eager to give death to native and it’s also in 3rd house with 5 bindus so eager to give death to mother.

Cheers !!!

I thank everyone heartily for taking part in this puzzle. I wish to give my special thanks to Sri Ash, who predicted correctly the period, though he was a bit off with the date. As the puzzle was to just get the period right, I think we can say that he solved this puzzle correctly.

To all others, it is nice to see that there are so many periods when one can have ill health, accident, etc. which may seem as dangerous to the native, but there must have been divine interventions through auspicious planets  either in dasha or in transit that saved her earlier.

The answer is as follows:

The native died on September 28th, 1996 at around 3 AM on 27-28th night. She was admitted to hospital after a sudden surge of body temperature which was quite abnormal. She had fever for a total of 2-3 days. She was later found to be affected by falciparum malaria: The most dangerous type of malaria.

Red blood cells infected with the parasite tend to sludge and form micro infarctions (small areas of dead tissue due to lack of oxygen) in capillaries in the brain, liver, adrenal gland, intestinal tract, kidneys, lungs, and other organs.

She died of severe damage to almost all organs. Her mother passed away 14 days later due to the same disease. This was the time when Delhi had a joint epidemic of Dengue fever and Malaria. The picture of the other was published in India today - a weekly popular magazine in India .

If it may help astrologers - though we had lost my cousin within a single day, we were hopeful that her mother would survive. She alternated between recovery and poor health for a few days. Our worst fears came true, when she developed severe breathing problems. The dead Red Blood Cells stick to place where blood gets oxygen. She was, then, put on a ventilator and remained so till she passed away.

Due to severe lack of oxygen, she suffered a brain stroke followed by two heart attacks. There was nothing the doctors could do as the central zone of the brain was severely damaged.

The girl's elder sister was not involved in anything and there was not an accident. Father had not much to do with this incident, except he could have asked for a blood test in the first two days itself.

Let this be a case study for those who attempted the puzzle, on how Lord can remove your little self from one body and place it a new one.

Thanks and Regards

KAS POWER

Procedure used for timing of death using KAS.

In the puzzle the death was given in the period from 1990 – 2000.  This is spanning the Mahadasha of Sun and the very end of Venus Mahadasha.

Natural death of a native generally happens in the Mahadasha of 3rd lord or its Samdharmi.  3rd house is Karak sthan for 8th house which is the House from which we study the timing of death.

As per Krushna’s Ashtakavarga System, Death is considered to be the most auspicious event, and as per the laws of KAS, Auspicious events happen in the highest power planet or in that of House D or E which in simple terms means Lord of 6th house from the house under consideration or the Lord of 10th house from the house under consideration or in other words, death can happen in the highest power planet for the 8th house or in the antar dasha of the 1st house lord or the 5th house lord. 

Venus is in the navamsa of Pisces thereby making it samdharmi to Jupiter and Venus is placed in the 2nd house of Rasi chart along with Sun, thereby making Sun and Venus samdharmi.

Lagna rising in this chart is Virgo so Mars is 3rd lord and Mercury is natural 3rd lord and in this case Mercury is placed in 3rd house and its with 5 bindus.

So Venus is in no way related to Mars or Mercury so that rules Venus out to give death.

Next is Sun Mahadasha.  Sun is samdharmi to Venus in Rasi and it’s situated in the sign of Mercury in Navamsa, thereby making Sun samdharmi to Mercury.

For accident we study 7th house, so 2nd house would become Karak sthan for accident.  Here Sun is situated in the 2nd house along with Venus who is 2nd house lord.  So here Sun is related to 2nd lord (karaka for accidents) and 3rd lord (karaka for death).

So in the Mahadasha of Sun, the native might face accident and death.  So its very clear that Sun Mahadasha will furnish the event of accident which might result in death and Venus will not.

So now that we have firmed up the Mahadasha of Sun we can now narrow the event down in the proper Antardasha.

As per KAS, death happens in the highest power planet for 8th house or in that of House D or E which is 5th or 1st lord’s antar dasha.

If we study the KAS Power we can see that Saturn is not only the 5th lord who is eager but it also has the highest power in the 8th house in the KAS Power chart.

KAS Power

You can see that the power of Saturn is 28 for 8th house and at the same time 7th house power is 9 which is less and so is 3rd house power.  

So the chances are that death will occur in Sun MD and Saturn AD period.

So you can see that the period of Saturn in Sun Mahadasha spans from 1996-Feb-08 thru 1997-Jan-20.

Narrowing the event down further, what we do is split the antar dasha into 3 equal sectors.

To narrow the event inside the sector, we see if Saturn, the natural delay causing planet is aspecting 3rd, 8th, and12th house or their lords in Rasi or navamsa, so here you can see that Saturn aspects Mars in navamsa which rules 3rd and 8th house and Saturn itself is in 12th house so all 3 houses or lords are affected.  This indicates that the event will happen in the 3rd sector.

3rd sector starts from 27th September thru 20th January 1996 is when the event will take place.

Narrowing the event inside the sector we follow the following procedure.  We take help from Sun’s transit. 

When Sun transits the sign and nakshtra of strong significator based on KAS Power will furnish the event.

Since we have selected Saturn antar dasha to give the event, we take the next two more powerful planets.

If we look at 8th house power in KAS Power table, we can see that Moon, Mercury and Sun have more than 12, making them powerful to give the event.

KAS Power

On 27th night or 28th September 1996, on the date when the native expired Sun was transiting the sign of Mercury and Nakshatra of Moon.  The power of Moon is 17 which is 2nd highest for 8th house and that of Mercury is 12 which is LoE or 1st lord which is very eager to furnish the timing of event.

Sun's Transit

This also proves the accuracy of Krushna's Ayanamsa.
