Atma (soul), Mana (mind)and Tanu (body). These correspond to the i) Charakarakas, ii) Na

isargika karakas

and iii)

Sthira karakas

respectively. The dhi or intelligence is an addition to these three, which has been created by

Vasudeva (refer creation). Through the lagna we have Bhaava. Look up the sanskrit word for

this and you will find that it means much more than just house. It means approach or manner

of acting/condition, state etc.

So each bhaava in the chart shows:i) how we approach a certain aspect of life (bhaava itself)

ii) how we are approached by those people indicated by those aspects of life (bhaavesha -

lordship)

For now i will omit the Chara karakas from this discussion. We are thus left with:

i. the analysis of the mana/mind ( karaka ) and its experiences with certain bhaavas.ii. the analysis of the mana/mind ( karaka ) and its experiences with certain people (bhavesha).

Bhaava from Lagnashows how you approach those various activities in life. I.e. if you have

Mars in tenth you will be aggressive in work. If you have Saturn in tenth you will be very slow

and take your time to finish things. If you have nodes in seventh you may cheat on your wife

(ref: sarvartha chintamani). Now why do you think Parasara says that if Mars is in seventh the

native will have three broken marriages?

It has to do with ones approach, and naturally how you approach is what you get.

Bhaava in the rasishows how I approach the various aspects of my life, but to get a detailed

understanding of the character and traits of other people i must see the divisional chart

associated with them. In a sense the Rasi is the self-centric view of everything, and thus

becomes the most important chart. I.e. Seventh house in rasi shows how I approach

relationships, but its the seventh house in navamsa through which i can describe the spouse

and his/her traits.

Bhaava from Karaka shows how we experience various activities in life. I.e. the sambandha

between Venus and the fourth house shows how our experience of vehicles and similar

comforts impact our PERCEPTION of vehicles. The sambandha between Venus and the

seventh house will show how we see relationships and how they affect us. I.e. I have Venus in

the second house and have had to come to terms with a very warped idea about relationships

as the seventh house will sit in the sixth (celibacy, competitions, etc) from Venus. Had maleficsalso been placed in the seventh (wrong approach), or the seventh lord was associated with

malefics (wrong partners) this could have been disastrous.

Bhaavesh from Karaka shows how we experience various people in our life. I.e. the

sambandha between Venus and the seventh lord shows how the specific partners affect us in

life and make us feel. Thus the experience of married life vs. the experience of having a

spouse/partner can be completely different things.

The Karaka -bhava, i.e. for Guru: ninth house/lord from Jupiter, or for relationships: seventh

house/lord from Venus, show how that specific person is brought to your Mana/mind. The ninth

house is there for every lagna, but yet not everyone has a Guru. So also if the ninth house/lord

from Jupiter is under influence this will affect how ones Guru comes into ones life, or is inhibited

from the same. Similarly everyone has a father, but if the ninth house/lord from Sun is afflicted

then one may be separated from the father. Thus here we are analyzing to the various people

coming to your attention/mind/mana.

Finally Karaka itself shows the overall nature of ones experiences related to that karaka . If

Venus is afflicted the person will not look very happily at the prospect of relationships, i.e.

Venus joined Sun, Mars, Saturn, Rahu and Ketu can show: Ego, Anger, Sorrow, Shock and

Headlessness as problems in relationships respectively. The more of these afflicting the same,

the worse the situation, but this is attributed to the self and is a result of being in experiences

with other people, but not necessarily caused by other people.

Whew!.. there is a lot more such as the sambandha between lords Tithi, Vara, Nakshatra, Yogaand Karana with the various bhaavas, not to speak of the use of Chara karakas which are the

most important.

I have given examples of these karaka/bhava principles in the seventh house chapter in my

book. I do recommend referring to the same for further understanding.
