Krishnamurti Paddathi (KP):
Proffesor K.S.Krishnamurti : The Pioneer of modern Stellar Astrology:
Prof.Krishnamurti was born at Thiruvaiyaru (Lat.10 48N; Long
79 15 E) a short distance Northeastward of the town of Thanjavur in Tamilnadu.
Thriuvaiyaru the "Sacred" land of "five rivers (Cauvery, Coleroon or Kollidam,
Kudamurutti, Vennar and Vettar) is considered as sacred as Kasi or Varanasi
(Banares), if not more. (Kasikku vessam adhikam Thiruvaiyaru). The place
is associated with the name of Saint Thyagaraja, a great devotee of Lord
Sri Rama and one of the Trimurtis (Trinity) of Carnatic Music, the other
two being Sri Syama Sastri and Sri Muthuswami Dikshitar.
Prof. Krishnamurti was initiated into spiritual practice by Mahakavi
Sri Sundaresa Sarma. Brahmasree Sundaresa Sarma is a divine soul, a great Sanskrit poet and scholar. After finishing his education at St. Joseph's
college, Tiruchirapalli, Prof. Krishnamurti entered the service of the
Government of Tamilnadu in the Public Health Department at the King Institute,
Guindy, Madras ,on 14-7-1927. He studied the Hindu and Western systems
of Astrology thoroughly, but was deeply disappointed at the inadequacy
and lack of precision of both. He noticed that a planet in its period invoked
the results of a house with which it is not connected by occupation, ownership,
association or aspect which are the ordinary considerations in prediction.
This opened his eyes to the supreme importance of constellations in prediction.
He established by his researches that the results of a planet (in its period)
are strongly modified by the lord of the constellation in which it is posited
according to the occupation, ownership, association and aspects of the
latter. Prof. Krishnamurti understood that the difference in the result
should be attributed to the exact portion of the constellation occupied
by the planet. For determining the zone of the constellation occupied by
the tenanting planet the constellation had to be divided in some significant,
scientific manner. The idea of dividing the constellation in the
mysterious unequal Vimsottari proportion attributed to the venerable
Sage Parasara struck him . Prof. Krishnamurti succeeded again in establishing
through his researches that the manner (favorable or adverse) in which
house result are invoked by a planet is dictated by the lord of the division of the constellation in which the planet is posited (whom he calls the
sub-lord) according to the occupation, ownership etc., of the latter(the
sublord).
The problem of differences (in longevity, financial status, profession
etc.,) in the lives of twins born within very short intervals which
have a bearing on the house -cusps had also been engaging his attention
from the beginning. Prof. Krishnamurti takes the house cusp as the starting
point of the house and not as the midpoint as in the Sripathy Padhdhati
of Hindu Astrology. He has established through innumerable correct predictions
that his method is correct. Like the planets he subjected the house-cusps
to the method of constellation and sub. The planet owning either the constellation
or the sub on the cusp of a house gives the results of the house provided
it is in a constellation and sub sympathetic to the matters of the house.Likewise
a planet posited in the constellation of the constellation lord or the
sublord of the cusp of a house invoked the results of that house in the
manner dictated by the planet's sublord.
There are innumerable "yogas" (which do not take into account house connections in any scientific manner) which fix the longevity in various ranges.There is the method of Ashtakavarga based on rough Rasi
chart which is used to predict longevity.All these tumble down before the
problem of difference in the longevity of twins.
The prosperity or prediction of a bhava is generally examined with reference
to the sign strength of the bhava lord and bhavakaraka, their benefic
or malefic associations and aspects. He understood that something fast
moving is to relied upon. And that is the house cusp which is rarely
marked or examined by the vociferous protagonists of Astrology. If
the cusp is caught in the right sub, a thorough examination of the stellar
position and disposition of the sublord would reveal the fate of the bhava
correctly. This too Prof. Krishnamurti established through research on
innumerable charts. The differences in the longevity, financial status,
profession etc., of twins were explained remarkably & accurately
by the sublords of the relavant cusps.
Prof. Krishnamurti noticed that great gains came to some during "Sade
Sathi" honour on Chandrashtma day and so on. He extended his stellar technique
to transits as well. The lords of the constellation and sub transited by
the transiting planet explain the events accurately in terms of the houses
they signify.
Prof. Krishnamurti was thus able to supply the missing links in the
existing techniques of prediction found a unique technique comprehensive,
scientific and minute, a Padhahati known by his name, a system that would
apply to the goose and the gander alike.
Prof. Krishnamurti 's theory that the planets co-ruling the moment
when a matter is taken up for examination with real urge will co-rule the
moment of fructification of the matter as well is immensely helpful in
pinpointing the time of occurrence of events especially in Horary
Astrology. We have seen how unerring predictions can be offered if a chart
is erected scientifically for the correct birth time and the house-cusps
are caught in the right subs. Reversing the process, the subs of
house-cusps can be fixed accurately, if a few events relating to the native
or those directly related to him (say, parents) are known. Ruling planets
coupled with events constitute an excellent method of rectification of
birth time.
Those who thirst for the knowledge of the minute secrets of prediction
can quench their thirst abundantly if only they approach Krishnamurti Padhdhati with gentlemanly faith.
This is an excellent system (Paddhati) of astrological predictions conceived, created by The Great Indian Astrology master, late Prof. K.S. Krishnamurti. KP System is based on finer points of Indian and Western astrology and borrows important concepts from many branches of astrology. Regarded as most accurate system of present time, KP System of astrology is easy to learn and easy to apply. Contrary to classical Hindu astrology, KP system is systematic and very well defined.
KP goes beyond stellar and makes use of the sub lord of houses and planets. The basic principle of KP method is that the results are offered by the star lord (constellation) of any planet and whether it is good or bad will materialize or not will be decided by the sub lord. Houses (cuspal) sub lord promises various events during the lifetime of the user. Planetary sub lord decides if it is going to materialize in its dasa period. The Western system is based on aspects, which the planets make among themselves, and aspects they make with the houses.
Here are some major differences to Vedic astrology:
- KP system gives importance to the Constellations / Stars / Nakshatras divisions of the Zodiac which is obviously the most desired for precision.
- Further it divides each Constellation / Star / Nakshatra division into further 9 subdivisions called 'SUBS'. These sub divisions are not equal divisions, but are as per the Vimshottari Dashas Divisions System.
- K.P. System uses K.P. Ayanamshas as opposed to Lahiri Ayanamshas mostly used in Vedic System. The difference between two is about 6 minutes (Kala).
- This system uses Cusps that is house/ bhav beginnings like Western Systems, as opposed to Vedic System which uses House Centres i.e. Bhav Madhyas.
- This system uses Placidus House system.
- The planet in its dasha gives results as per its Nakshtra-Swami (Star-Lord) rather than the planet itself.
Hence Planet is represents the SOURCE, that Planet's Star-Lord represents the EFFECTS, RESULTS and that Planet's Sub gives idea of the FINAL DIRECTION of that result.
- KP highly uses Ruling Planets methodology which says that the planets at the time of desire and fructifications are always same.
