In the third stage of spiritual life, different types of ascetics are influenced by specific planets: Venus oversees the mendicants of Saivite and Vaishnavite traditions, while Saturn guides those who pursue ascetic practices in secluded or forested areas. When Rajayogas coexist with these ascetic yogas, all challenging outcomes are neutralized. This can lead the individual to become virtuous, respected by leaders, and possibly a prominent leader themselves, embracing a spiritual path. This concludes the 20th chapter on 'Combinations for Renunciation' in Kalyana Varma's Saravali.
Chapter 21 introduces Nabhasa Yogas, with 1800 types described by ancient scholars, and 32 major Nabhasa yogas elaborated. These include 20 Akriti yogas, 7 Sankhya yogas, 3 Asraya yogas, and 2 Dala (Ardha) yogas. Examples of these yogas are: Chatra, Koota, Chaapa, Sringataka, Vajra, Damani, Pasa, Veena (also called Vallaki), Kamala, Musala, Vapi, Hala, Sara, Samudra, Chakra, Maala, Sarpa, Ardha Chandra, Yava, Kedara, Gada, Pakshi Yupa, Yuga, Sakata, Soola, Danda, Rajju, Sakthi, Nala, and Gola. The seven Sankhya yogas are: Gola, Yuga, Soola, Pasa, Veena, Kedara, and Damani. The two Dala yogas, Sarpa (Bhujanga) and Mala, are explained by Parasara Maharshi. Asraya yogas (Musala, Rajju, and Nala) yield positive effects if no other Nabhasa yoga is present. If an Asraya yoga coexists with other types of Nabhasa yogas, its effects remain dormant, allowing the other yoga to influence instead.
Exploring the nexus between Rajayoga and ascetic practices reveals the transformative potential of these yogic combinations in Vedic astrology. When Rajayogas coexist with ascetic yogas, they counteract challenges, paving the way for spiritual leadership and societal respect. Nabhasa Yogas, with their 1800 variations and 32 major types, further demonstrate the depth and intricacy of planetary influences on spiritual paths.
