Guru Droha Yoga

It is elementary knowledge that Rahu and Shani are bitter enemies of Guru or Jupiter. Rahu tends to debilitate all good tendencies and blessings of Guru, while Shani  makes Guru dirty and weak, ruling the sign Capricorn which is a place of Guru debilitation. Therefore, if you ever asked what is the worse position of planets in Trines and Particularly 9th house of Guru, it is this combination. This combination is known as Gurudroha Yoga.

Gurudroha Yoga therefore implies the following:

1. Betrayal of Guru

2.Disobediance to elders

3. Fall in dharma and loss of luck and knowledge

4.Bad luck

This is one of the worst yogas one can have in a chart. How is the Yoga formed?

1. Shani and Rahu are placed in 9th house

2. Shani or Rahu is placed in 9th house, while another has aspect on 9th

3. Both Shani and Rahu aspect 9th house

4. Ketu is in 9th house and Shani aspects

5. Any sambhanda of Shani and Rahu on 9th lord

6. Any sambhanda of Shani and Rahu with Guru

This Yoga is traditionally taught as Adharma Yoga or four levels of dharma and four Nandi’s legs are broken. According to traditional teachings this yoga will also affect the progeny resulting in bad luck or loss of children. The story of Draupadi has an illuminating effect on understanding this Yoga. Also, unfortunatelly, apart from some very specific sadhanas, no remedial measures can help to prevent the bad effects of this Yoga. A person should prey to their Diksa Guru for releiveing Guru Rina.

Timing of This Yoga

The bad effects of the Yoga will be felt in Rahu or Shani dasas, or those specific Rasi dasas. There are also hidden effects concerning Upagraha dashas which will secretly hit the native  during the good dashas, where a person will not realize why bad results are taking place. For example certain seemingly good dashas will convey the negative and disasterous effects of Guru Droha Yoga, if these grahas are in specific relationships with Upagrahas.

Part two

To understand more about secret influence of Guru Droha Yoga, a person should know Grahas and their sons. Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra

teaches about the sons of each Graha and how they are calculated. Please see it. The sons of the grahas are:

1. Kala is the son of Surya

2. Paridhi is the son of Chandra

3. Mrityu is the son of Mangal

4.Ardhaprahara is the son of Budha

5. Yamaghantaka is the son of Guru

6.Kodanda is the son of Shukra

7. Gulika is the son of Shani

8. Vyatipata is the son of Rahu

Each son has a power of his parent and will listen to his parent only. In this Guru droha Yoga, Gulika and Vyatipata are important.  Gulika has

a special power on the Moon, while Vyatipata can eclipse Guru or Jupiter. Therefore, one can easily understand the effects of Guru droha yoga

understanding the effects of these Upagrahas as well. If you think calmly, you can also understand why Gulika dasa (dasa of Naksatra lord of

Gulika) is dangerous for one’s life (It strongly hits the Moon ruling pranas). In the same way, Vyatipata dasa can seriously affect Guru or Jupiter

placement and significations of the chart. That is much more about Upagrahas and Grahas and their relationship, which is advanced part of

the jyotish. For example, every mahadasha of Mangal will severelly hit the marriage, because Mangal will send his son Mrityu who will attack

and harm Venus…
