The word Karaka means
a 'significator' or a planet which represents particular things of human
life such as marriage or children or job etc. For ex: Venus is karaka for
marriage.Bhava means house
and Nashya
means destroyer.
In
order to understand the implications of this concept, I researched alot. During
my research, this concept has almost failed in some particular cases. I would
like to share few instances. I studied a person’s chart. I saw Jupiter in 5th house and
found the person blessed with good children. However, for Venus in 7th house,
this concept is applicable in few cases.
For
more comprehensive view, read below my detailed
research report on this principle:
1. Sun and 10th
house, both are karaka for job. So, according to this rule if sun is placed
in 10th house then the native won’t enjoy good professional life. But
it’s not true! The reason is according to Shad bala concept, sun gets digbala (directional
strength) when it’s placed in 10th house. It means sun is very
powerful when it’s placed in 10th house. The native will enjoy
respective career life. So this rule failed here.
2.
Jupiter is the karaka of the 2nd, 5th, 10th and the 11th
house. So when Jupiter is placed in any of these houses, then according to this
rule, it will destroy the house related matters. For instance if Jupiter is
placed in 2nd house then it will spoil the wealth, family matters of
an individual. But, according to me, this is untrue. In my experience, I have
seen lot of people who are born with Jupiter in 2nd house, enjoying
good wealth and family. Wherever Jupiter is placed, it will bring positive
strength to that house expect some cases.
3.
Mars is the karaka of the 3rd and the 6th house. So
when Mars is placed in 3rd house, it will destroy your siblings,
courage etc because 3rd house represents siblings and courage. But,
I have come across the people whose 3rd house has Mars but they
still have good relationships and are brave.
4.
Venus and 7th house both are karaka for marriage. So when Venus is
placed in 7th house, it must give bad results in married life. For
very few cases but not all, this rule works. To prove my point, I would like to
share one of my case studies. I came
across a boy born in cancer ascendant with Venus in 7th house. This
boy suffered in his marriage life and got divorced. The reason was that Venus
was destroying 7th house related things as per the principle of "Karako Bhavo Nashaya".
I would like
to conclude that "Karako Bhavo Nashaya" does not work for all cases such as Jupiter in 5th house
will not spoil the 5th bava. I have experienced this in many cases. With the
exception of few cases such as Venus in 7th house, this rule is not
applicable for most of the cases.
