Sacred Legend of Karaka Dasha

The Karaka Dasha represents Jaimini's deepest insight into soul evolution. He observed that seven planets (excluding shadows) take temporary roles as soul significators based on their degrees. The Atmakaraka (soul), Amatyakaraka (mind/career), Bhratrikaraka (siblings/courage), and others create a hierarchy of soul functions. Time flows through these Karaka positions, revealing when different soul aspects activate. This system shows not just what happens, but why - connecting events to soul-level learning. Each incarnation creates a unique Karaka pattern, making this the most individualized timing system.

Historical Background & Significance

Karaka means 'significator' or 'doer,' and this dasha tracks how different planetary functions manifest through time. The system requires calculating seven Karakas based on planetary degrees, creating a soul-level hierarchy. This sophisticated approach reveals timing for specific life areas: Atmakaraka periods bring self-realization, Amatyakaraka career development, Darakaraka relationships, etc. The system's beauty lies in showing how the same planet performs different soul functions across different charts, creating infinite timing variations while maintaining archetypal integrity.
