The sub periods (named bhuktis) are in the very same order and divided relative to the dasa length under.

Dasa Periods and the Cycles of Unfolding Karma

There is a great deal speculation about why they are in this order. I have heard several theories and I like them all. There is a strange harmony to this dasa order that appears to operate. It is relevant to view the dasa system as a microcosm of the human life.

The dasa system begins with Ketu, as it is the globe exactly where we are closest to God, exactly where the soul is not however rooted in the physique as we frequently observe in very young kids. Ketu is the dasa exactly where we turn out to be conscious of all that we do not require. Just as the baby only requirements breath and minimal sustenance, beyond that he is a lot more essence than substance. Relative human age 0-1 years
Venus dasa is whilst this infant is nurtured and cared for by Venus, the nurturer. Venus is the dasa that feeds the fat child. Hers is the longest dasa as on Earth as we come here to find out to care for every single other, in a physique very first. So this physique requires care and courtesy although it is understanding. This is the most crucial time in our lives, while our thoughts and perceptions about the globe are forming.

Sun dasa shows the emergence of our person identity, prepared to shine from his light, no longer feeling the require to be supported by other individuals. This needed ego-centricity permits a healthful sense of self to emerge, a healthier ego is a single exactly where we feel positively empowered, not enabling other people to run more than our boundaries or us to more than run theirs.

Relative human age four-12 years

Moon dasa is the require to connect this person knowledge with other folks in a meaningful way. It is no longer adequate to just feel ourselves shine; we ought to understand to see ourselves as a reflection by way of the eyes and experiences of other people and reflected back to us in society. We grow to be sensitive like the awkward teenager in the Moon dasa.

Relative human age 13 - 19 years

Mars dasa is while we discover to compete with other folks in the planet and understand to make allies alternatively of enemies out of our competitors; by means of courage and disciplined action we test our principles in a globe of consequence via the gregarious and raucous power of Mars.

Relative human age 20 - 27 years

Rahu shows our worldly life and our material existence. With the exuberance of youth behind us we are in the globe, enmeshed in Maya and accumulation. Marriage, Youngsters, profession, and all the trappings of adult worldly life and its capability to veil our greater intelligence is the soul in Rahu dasa.

Relative human age 28 - 40

Jupiter dasa is exactly where we can reclaim our inherent wisdom following Rahu runs us crazy! It is a time even though we feel our load has been lightened or at least we feel back in manage of our thoughts. Jupiter comes to offer insight, maturity and life lessons, as he is also Guru, teacher, so we can share some of our wisdom with other folks.

Relative human age 40-5five

Saturn dasa is though we will develop into conscious of our limitations and study to be sensible about them. Following the enthusiasm of Jupiter, Saturn will bring us back to Earth and make us face reality. Reality is not the optimism of Jupiter it is the cold difficult details of Saturn. These details are the death of our physique and the temporal nature of all material life. Saturn will provide us the time to function by way of our karma in isolation.

Relative human age 5five - 65

Mercury dasa is although we can grow to be like a infant once more, playful and non-judgmental, yet by way of practical experience and clear considering, not via ignorance. Following the sensible heaviness of Saturn our thoughts is clear and open and capable of discrimination, jnana yoga. Relative human age 65 - ?
