Gajakesari — BPHS strict profile
Audit the fuller Parashari formulation condition by condition.
The BPHS profile used here requires Jupiter in a Kendra from Lagna or Moon, benefic conjunction/aspect, and Jupiter free from debilitation, combustion and a natural enemy sign.
The current profile tests debilitation, combustion and Jupiter’s relation to its sign lord, while benefic support uses the selected natural-nature profile. Mercury is counted only when that profile classifies it as benefic; the Moon is evaluated by waxing/waning phase.
The Yoga Lab shows every pass/fail condition, so a learner can see whether geometry alone is present or the full selected profile is satisfied.
Treat every Yoga as a rule audit. Convert the Yoga name into explicit conditions, identify the planets/houses involved, and mark each condition true or false. A name should never be produced before its conditions have been checked.
Formation and strength are different questions. After a Yoga forms, dignity, combustion, functional role, relevant Vargas and timing can change how prominently it is traditionally read; the existence check itself should remain transparent.
How to read it
- Read the exact rule profile.
- List every required condition.
- Check each condition against the chart.
- Mark formed only when the profile’s conditions pass.
- Assess condition/strength/timing separately.
Key points
- Yoga detection is a condition check, not a keyword search.
- Different texts can define similarly named Yogas differently.
- A formed Yoga is not a guaranteed event.
Do not combine conditions from different source profiles and then call the result “classical.”
Apply this lesson to a chart
- Open Yoga Lab and choose one Yoga.
- Read every pass/fail condition before looking at the final status.
- Explain in your own words why the Yoga formed or failed.
