Before I start the tutorial I would like to remember & offer my pranams to the Almighty God, who according to His wish, made it possible that a person like me, who has no astrological background could write an astrological tutorial & my Guruji late Vinayak R Prasade ji, without whose book, it would have been just impossible to do any studies of this kind.

PRAVIR PADDHATI SIMPLIFIED TUTORIAL

This paddhati, a unique system of predicting future with help of only date of birth, was developed by late Vinayak R Prasade ji of Ambarnath, Maharashtra. He named the paddhati as Pravir which is a composition of a new word by taking first alphabets of his name. This paddhati doesnt need any accurate details of the birth time or location. Even if the TOB is wrong by 30 to 60 minutes the prediction is very much likely to be correct. This paddhati works on the transit of the Sun on the date of birth with respect to its location in various nakshatras. We see that these days there are many astrological theories & many branches of each. These theories need very high accuracy of birth details & computing systems. We often see that after shredding minutes into seconds, the prediction is not that much accurate & many times fails very miserably. In such a scenario, if we look at the Pravir Paddhati, which can give almost 85 + % correct predictions & that too with only date of birth is really amazing & unique. Main features of this paddhati can be mentioned as under. 1) This Paddhati needs only date of birth & nothing else. For faster work one can use computer program to check planetary conditions as needed for this theory but it is not necessary. 2) This theory can be worked with the help of only some tables & Panchanga. 3) This paddhati can be learnt by anybody within a short period. 4) Astrologers with less educational qualifications can also achieve confidence in predictions. 5) There is nothing based on spirituality, intuition or urge of anybody & very less chances of mistakes in the predictions are seen unless one makes mistake in using some rule itself. 6) No matter how many astrologers (followers of this paddhati) work on a date & from any location, any time their prediction is most likely to be the same for almost 85 + % of the times. 7) This paddhati takes only 15 to 20 minutes for arriving at the final prediction even without a computer. 8) Though not yet developed fully, there is a big chance to say that we can think of getting all types of predictions through this theory & that too, with considerable accuracy in future. What we need to do is just to accept this theory, follow the rules & keep on adding our contributions based on observations & experience. This will surely enrich the theory & one day we will be able to predict everything from only the date of birth (& for more accuracy, time with +/- 30 minutes) 9) There are no disputable rules or different ways / branches of thinking. 10) With such a small data requirements (only date of birth) we can work on various aspects of our life.

General basic information Everything in life gets produced & destructed due to transit of the Sun. All events in our life are based on the location of the Sun in the zodiac with respect to nakshatras. Not only a single persons life events, but also it can indicate important dates in life of 4 earlier generations. In Pravir Paddhati there is no big importance given to any of the planets & everything is based on the Sun & its transit through the nakshatras. Date of marriage, date of birth of children & many other things can also be worked out by using this theory but now we will restrict our study to working out date of death only. Pravir Paddhati works on transit of the Sun through different stars (nakshatras) & there is an exclusive way of writing the star conditions on the day of birth. It is totally different from what we have been doing or thinking in various systems of astrology. Instead of going into details of theoretical thinking of the original author, we will try to understand how to make Pravir charts & how the dates of death can be obtained from these charts. We can have a discussion on theoretical part later on if needed. There are preferably seven ways to show the useful star conditions on the date of birth. These are called as : 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) 7) Janma Tarikh Nakshtra Janma Ravi Nakshtra Samagaman Nakshtra Garbha Dharana Nakshtra Garbha Vruddhi Nakshtra Garbha Saal Nakshtra Janma Saal Nakshtra

There are few tables made to help astrologers to find out easily the seven above mentioned nakshatras from the date of birth of anybody. All tables are separated in four attachments. In one attachment we have all Ready Reckoner Tables (RR 1, RR 2,RR 3 etc) & in other attachment we have Solved Examples (218 Nos) In the third attachment we have Study Charts (SC 1, SC 2 etc) & in the fourth attachment we have JPEF images of birth charts. These chart images are having big file size. I have to reduce the file size & do numbering in big font. This may take some time. These will be sent when completed & if needed. All excel sheets have been protected from getting edited by mistake. Janma Tarikh Nakshtra means the birth date (1 to 31 only, month/year neglected) converted into nakshtras. We have 27 nakshtras in the zodiac. The birth dates can be anything from 1 to 28/31. For 1 to 27 dates the serial number of the nakshtra & dates match exactly. For 28 to 31 dates we have to use again Ashvini to Rohini in serial order. We can say that first 4 nakshtras have 2 dates allocated & others have one date each. Suppose your birth date is 21st August, 1956, you will take only 21 & neglect the month & year. Your Janma Tarikh Nakshtra will be Uttarashadha (21st Nakshtra starting from Ashvini = 1) For a date 29, we will have to use Bharani nakshtra again & our Janma Tarikh Nakshtra will be Rohini. Thus, Janma Tarikh Nakshtra of all born on 21st of ANY MONTH or ANY YEAR will be Uttarashadha only. All nakshtras have charans also. They can be any from 1 to 4 but only for Janma Tarikh Nakhstra, the charan is ALWAYS 3 This is written in a specific way. This gives easy & fast understanding from Pravir

birth chart. Our Janma Tarikh Nakshtra will be written as 21 Uttarashadha 3 Sun. (Sun is the lord of the nakshtra) You may use Ready Reckoner Table No RR 01 for easy working Janma Ravi Nakshtra means the nakshtra through which the Sun was transiting on the date of birth. We see that the Sun Transit is fixed for each date of English calendar & there is very less difference of degrees. Normally the Sun starts transit in Ashvini charan 1 (Mesh sign, zero degrees) on 14th April of any year but the Pravir Paddhati book, from which I have collected this knowledge has some different thinking. The Sun is considered to be starting transit through Ashvini Charan 1 on 22nd April of any year instead of 14th April. I tried to know why there is a difference of 8 days but couldnt know. Then I decided to take this as it is because it was giving satisfactory results. I got date wise location of the Sun & by sliding it by 8 days I made a Ready Reckoner Table No RR 02 for easy reference. In this table you have to use only date & month. Year is neglected. Suppose you were born on 21st August, 1956, you will neglect the year & take only 21st August. You will see that Janma Ravi Nakshtra for the date 21st August is 9 Ashlesha 3 Mercury Samagaman Nakshtra means the nakshtra obtained by adding 27 to Janma Ravi Nakshtra charan & dividing by 4. If your Janma Ravi Nakshtra is 1 Ashwini Ch 1, add 27 to it & you will get Charan No 28 (27 +1) If you divide this by 4 you will get 7 Punarvasu Ch 4 as Samagaman Nakshtra. For easy reference I have made Ready Reckoner Table No RR 03 Garbha Dharana Nakshtra means Janma Ravi Nakshtra + 9 Nakshtras. If your Janma Ravi is 3 Kruttika 4 Sun, your Garbha Dharana Nakshtra will be 12 Uttara Falguni 4 Sun. For easy reference I have made Ready Reckoner Table No RR 03 Garbha Vruddhi Nakshtra means Janma Ravi Nakshtra + 18 Nakshtras. If your Janma Ravi Nakshtra is 3 Kruttika 4 Sun, your Garbha Vruddhi Nakshtra will be 21 Uttarashadha 4 Sun. For easy reference I have made Ready Reckoner Table No RR 03 Garbha Saal Nakshtra means the nakshtra that comes one number less than Janma Saal Nakshtra. It is always better to find Janma Saal Nakshtra first & deduct one nakshtra from it to get Garbha Saal Nakshtra. If your Janma Saal Nakshtra is 3 Kruttika Ch 4, your Garbha Saal Nakshtra will be 2 Bharani Ch 4. For easy reference I have made Ready Reckoner Table No 04 Janma Saal Nakshtra has some complicated theory. You may use directly Ready Reckoner Table No RR 04 In this table you have to use your birth year (only last two digits) & not full like 1967 or 2002. If your birth year is 1956, you have to take only 56 & forget 19. This is applicable to all years in all centuries. After we get a bit familiar with the above information we will see what is Pravir Style birth chart & how it is made. Please see the picture below. It is a solved example birth chart taken from another attachment for learning purpose. It is very much different from traditional astrology birth charts. We will try to fill first column of the chart from the information given above. There are no house numbers or something similar. I have given numbers to each cell (square house) in green color so that you can understand further explanation easily & there wont be any confusion.

To make this write up of a smaller volume, some descriptive type information is optimized & more focus is laid on actual rules & solved examples. To fill data in the Pravir chart, one may go forward according to following steps.

Cell No A 1 Fill the information as mentioned above (Janma Tarikh Nakshtra Chart No RR 01)

Cell No B 1 Fill the information as mentioned above (Janma Ravi Nakshtra, Chart No RR 02) Cell No C 1 Fill the information as mentioned above (Samagaman Nakshtra, Chart No RR 03) Cell No D 1 Fill the information as mentioned above (Garbha Dharana Nakshtra, Chart No RR 03 ) Cell No E 1 Fill the information as mentioned above (Garbha Vruddhi Nakshtra, Chart No RR 03) Cell No F 1 Fill the information as mentioned above (Garbha Saal Nakshtra, Chart No RR 04) Cell No G 1 Fill the information as mentioned above (Janma Saal Nakshtra, Chart No RR 04) You will see that there are 5 more columns in the chart. Heading of each column is some yoga. These yogas are exactly same as we consider in traditional astrology. Kendra Yoga 1 & 2 are same by meaning except their directions of counting degrees. Suppose we have Mesh 150 under consideration, it will have Kendra Yoga 1 with Kark 15 o & Kendra Yoga 2 with Makar 150 . In Pravir charts we are using nakshtras & charan numbers instead of degrees. Shadashtak Yoga & Ashtam Yoga are also similar to yogas in traditional astrology except their direction of counting degrees. Mesh 150 will have Shadastak Yoga with Kanya 15 0 & Ashtam Yoga with Vrushchik 150 . Pratiyoga is also very similar to how we consider in traditional astrology. To make this simpler, I have made Ready Reckoner Table No RR 05 which can give us instantly nakshtras to be filled in all balance squares. Let whatever be the type of nakshtra in 1st column ( A1 to G 1) take them separately & check the values of nakshtras making aspects with them. In our example, Janma Tarikh Nakshtra is 3 Kruttika 3 Sun. In the Ready Reckoner Table No RR 05 there is a column with heading Concerned Nakshtra In this column, in the same row of Kruttika 3, you will find other 5 nakshtras (with charans) who are making required aspects. Fill these nakshtras in cell No A 2 to A 6. In asimilar manner you can fill B2 to B 6 for Janma Ravi Nakshtra or any nakshtra in the cells A1 to G1. Thus you will have all your squares filled with some nakshtra. You will see one small table below the Pravir birth chart. We will call it Formula Chart. It becomes very easy to work out date details if the nakshtra number is put in the formula. Before we learn what it is & how it can be filled or used we need to understand some Pravir Terms. These terms are as under : Kendrayogi Ank Our life is divided in four parts. Childhood, youth, middle age, old age. In the zodiac there are 108 charans. If we divide 108 by 4, we will get starting charans of 4 char rashis & the serial numbers of these charans will be 0-27-54-81. These are called as Kendrayogi Ank. If we add the number of nakshtra (which is making evil aspects) to one of these Kendrayogi Ank, we will get Age at which the event will happen. (Here in our all cases the event is death.) Sthiranka There is a difference of 8 charans between Sayana & Nirayana Sun transit. (This is taken as it is without making any alteration to what is written in the book) If we add this to Kendrayogi Ank we get 4 figures. These will be 8-35-62-89. These are called as Sthiranka When we add the number of a nakshtra (which is making evil aspects) to one of these sthirankas, we will get year when some event will take place.

Kendrayogi Ank (0-27-54-81) & Sthirank (8-35-62-89) remain same for all charts of all persons born on any date. Year This is the year (in last 2 digits) in which the event is likely to happen. We can get these by adding serial number of any nakshtra to sthiranka (8-35-62-89). Suppose we add 25 (considering 25 Purva Falguni as the activated nakshtra) to Sthirank (8-35-62-89) we will get 4 years when the person is likely to die. Here in our case the years will be 8+25=33, 35+25=60, 62+25=78, 89+25=114. These are the calendar years. We have to use common sense to select one of these years. Age This is the age of person in completed years at the time of death. Suppose a person was born on 25 September 1947 & died on 18 December 2008, the age at which he died will be 2008-1947=61. I would like to bring your attention to one important thing in this calculation. The months in these calculations can make a difference of one year if not understood properly. We have to consider 12 months from January to December of the dates of birth/death. If the person dies after his birthday, the calculation remains same as shown above but if the person dies before his birthday, we need to deduct 1 from the above calculation. Suppose if the person in the above example died on 2 March 2008 & as March always comes before his birthday (September) the age at which he died will be 2008-1947-1=60 (& not 61) The age is obtained by adding serial number of some (active) nakshtra to Kendrayogi Ank. Suppose we consider 5 Mrug as the active nakshtra, the ages we can get will be 0+5=5, 27+5=32, 54+5=59, 81+5=86 The age at which one will really die has to be determined by common sense. If the person is already 56 years old, it is not correct to say that he would die at the age of 5 or 32 obtained from the formula. If we put values of the active nakshtra in the formula from the above information, we will get dates, months & ages (probable for death). For determination the month of the event, we have to see the transit of the Sun through some active nakshtras. This gives us the month. Suppose we think Bharani & Kruttika are the active nakshtras, we will see the months in which the Sun transits through Bharani & Kruttika. Then is it will be clear that the month is May (of any suitable year) To make this simpler, I have made Ready Reckoner Table No RR 08 For determination of date (1 to 31) again we have to chose some active nakshtra & the serial number of the nakshtra will directly give the date. (You may use the same table of Janma Tarikh Nakshtra RR 01) With this much information, I dont think there should be any problem in using the formula. Now, from the above information, one will think there are many nakshtras in the chart & how can we find out the effective nakshtras ? What are the rules to determine them ? To know this we will see one by one rules that make some planet as an indicator. From here onwards we will call the planets as indicators who indicate the date in any form (Date, year, age or month) through their stars Now let us see the rules that can make some planet indicator of the date. Rule No 1 It is observed that only the lords of the nakshtras that appear in the Pravir Style Birth chart can be indicators of the date. (Instead of simply saying something as a rule I worked out the actual

percentages that were obtained after passing of each rule. For this rule it is 87.79 %. For details you may see Study chart No SC 01 ) To know the second rule, we will have to study sectors. These sectors are the portions of the zodiac in which, planets if placed, most likely to become indicators. There are 8 sectors of 300 each as you can see in the below picture. To know from where any sector starts & where it ends, we will have to consider the Sun at the centre of the sector B. In any chart, let the Sun be in any sign or any degree, will be considered to be at the centre of sector B only. Thus, if we add & subtract 150 in the Sun longitude, we will get range of sector B & any planet placed within this range will be considered as a planet placed in

Pravir sector & may indicate some details of the date. In a similar manner you will be able to understand & fix the range of each sector which is directly related to the longitude of the Sun. For every different chart, according to the Sun longitude, degrees of all sectors will also change. All planets placed in the 8 sectors will be the probable indicators but the area under sectors is nearly 67% & out of 9 planets we may get nearly 6 planets as probable indicators. Does that mean all 6 planets will indicate the details of the date ? The answer is No The reason is, planets placed at the outer edges of the sectors have lesser strength & planets placed very close to the centre of the sector have more strength. One more thing is that some planets, if fulfilling some other conditions (& even if they are not placed in any sectors) will be indicators. These rules will be explained one by one. To know the range of sectors, I have made a Ready Reckoner Table. We have to neglect the minutes & seconds of the Sun longitudes & from these longitudes we can get range of sectors instantly. Please refer Table No RR 06 Rule No 2 The planet placed in any sectors are most prone to be indicators of the date (any detail of date). This means the planets whose stars have appeared in the Pravir chart & who are placed in some sectors as well will be more prone to be indicator of the date. (Percentage of passing of this rule is 78.75 %. In 218 examples, we have 872 details. 152 are failures. Out of the remaining 720 correct

predictions 567 have passed this condition. For details you may see Study chart No SC 02 One important thing I would like to mention that though the percentage is apparently looking less, it doesnt mean failures are more. The reason is, some other planets have become indicators due to fulfilling conditions of some other rules) Rule No 3 For Sun, the rule of sectors doesnt apply because in each & every chart the Sun is placed at the centre of the sector B only. Sun being the sole controller of the solar system, is most important, Saturn being the karaka of death is also important, Rahu Ketu being the nodes are also important. It is observed that when the Sun is placed in star or sign of Saturn/Rahu/Ketu/his own, the Sun is more prone to be an indicator. In very few cases the Sun was seen in navamamsa of Sat/Rah/Ket. (Percentage of passing of this rule is 93.42 % For details you may see Study chart No SC 03 ) Rule No 4 It is seen that some planets, especially Rahu, Ketu & Saturn can become indicators even if they are not placed in any sectors. It is observed that declination of the Sun on the date of birth plays a significant role in making Rahu, Ketu, Saturn active indicators. The rule is that if declination of the Sun is between + 6.00 & -6.00 (via 0 degree) or +16.00 & +23.45 or -16.00 & -23.45, Rahu, Ketu, Saturn are most likely to be indicators of the event date. Further it is seen that if degrees of Sun declination are close to 0 or +/-23.45 the chances are even more. (Percentage of passing of this rule is 87.09 % For details you may see Study chart No SC 05 ) Rule No 5 It is seen that speed of planets (slow, fast) or direction of motion (forward or retrograde) dont have any significant role in making a planet indicator of date but when a planet is stationary it becomes active to indicate some detail of the date by becoming self as indicator or by activating star lord or sign lord in whose sign/ star it is placed. In our study, out of 218 examples, in 25 examples some planet was stationary & out of 25 cases, 21 times this rule has passed (irrespective of condition whether it is placed in some sector or not) (Percentage of passing of this rule is 84 % For details you may see Study chart No SC 04 ) From the above one may ask if there are some rules which can guide us to determine the life span (short, medium, long) because unless we know this, just using common sense to select correct year or the age may lead to some drastically wrong prediction. The answer for this is yes, & the rules are as under. To know the basic concepts we will have to understand few things. Assume that we have made 2 parts of the Pravir birth chart. The dividing line is passing after the first column (between 1st & 2nd column) we will have 2 parts. We will call them Left & right parts. Second thing we have to understand that there are triangles made by each nakshtra. Ashvini, Magha, Mool (of Ketu) will make a triangle. Similarly all planets will make triangles of their own nakshtras. To make them sharper, we can use charans of the triangles. Ashvini Ch 3, Magha Ch 3, Mool Ch 3 will make a triangle.

Though all 7 types of nakshtras are important, Janma Tarikh Nakshtra, Janma Ravi Nakshtra, Garbha Saal Nakshtra & Janma Saal nakshtra are most important to indicate date details & indicate life events. From this much information we will try to know the rules made to determine the life span of a person. Following rules are checked randomly & found to be working but percentage of passing of the rules is not worked out. Rule No 6 If nakshtras of a single triangle in 3 categories are available in left side of the Pravir birth chart, especially in the 4 above nakshtra categories, it indicates long life. Rule No 7 If nakshtras of a single triangle in 2 categories are available in left side of the Pravir birth chart, especially in the 4 above nakshtra categories, & other part of the triangle is available in the right side Pratiyoga column, it indicates long life. Rule No 8 If 2 corners of 2 different triangles are available in 4 categories in the left side, it indicates long life. Rule No 9 If some corner of triangle is available in left side & other two corners are available in right side (except Pratiyoga column) & at the same time these two are also available in the left side in some other categories, it indicates short life. Rule 10 If 3 consecutive nakshtras are available in the left side, it indicates long life. Rule 11 If Ketu nakshtra is in left side & nakshtras of Sun or Moon in the right side making Shadashtak yoga or Ashtam yoga, it indicates short life. Rule 12 If Sun or Moon nakshtra is in left side & nakshtras of Rahu in the right side making Shadashtak yoga or Ashtam yoga, it indicates short life. Rule 13 If Saturn nakshtra is in left side & nakshtras of Rahu & Ketu in the right side making Shadashtak yoga or Ashtam yoga, it indicates short life. There are yet another criterion conditions which can make some planet an indicator of the date & can take us to better predictions but as this study is taking too long & many members are very eagerly waiting for the Pravir Paddhati, I am taking a small pause & hope with this much information the members who have interest in Pravir Paddhati can start their own studies. When completed, the new rules (with percentages) will also be put in our forum. I would like to highlight that I am not a professional astrologer or I dont have any astrological degrees. I am only a lover of astrology. When I came across the Pravir Paddhati, I was highly surprised to see the results. I saw the theory was extremely difficult to understand (even to Marathi mother tongue astrologers) due to the way it was written. So I decided to work on it & present the facts in front of you. As mentioned earlier in some of my mails to the forum, the percentage of passing of the rules is not 100 %. Looking at the solved examples in the book, I had a wrong impression about the percentages. When I started learning & going into the depths of the theory, I realized that there were some data mistakes or

some printing/ calculation mistakes in the book. I collected all data again & worked independently. Then I came to know that the percentage of different rules is between 80 & 90 % roughly. Though not 100 %, I think this is also not bad & we together can find yet some new things in it. Out of the first 5 main rules there was hardly any rule clearly mentioned in the book. I found them from the solved examples, fixed them in some clear cut language. Some rules (not mentioned in the book but I have found out) have taken months of thinking & very painful hard work of thousands of observations & making notes of it. I know, saying something as a rule has NO MEANING unless it is supported by some examples. I have tried my best to do it. I am sure, I too must have made some mistakes in writing this, but I hope whatever I have written will help other members to take the study to even upper level. Studying the theory, making the 218 Pravir charts manually, making Ready Reckoner Tables, finding percentages of passing of the rules was a big work for me. You might know that I am a civil engineer & doing a job in a private company. It was just impossible to do this in continuation of even 30 minutes at a time but somehow I managed to finish it. Knowing date of death is only one part of the full Pravir Paddhati. With this theory we can find out date of marriage, date of birth of children from the date of birth only. If my study (death prediction) is liked by members, I may start these new chapters also in next few days. Lastly I would like to request all members not to do any trials of this theory on any living person or self. This theory has got so many things to be discovered yet. Please do not try to predict date of death unless you have your own solved hundreds of examples, achieved good confidence & either the age of the person is 80+ years or the person is having some severe injuries due to an accident or suffering from non curable disease. Even though these conditions are marching, avoid telling the exact date & you just can say that next few days are very difficult to you. You may see the list of 218 famous people with their date of birth & date of death taken from internet in the chart RR 07 Solved examples (218 Nos) are in a separate attachment. Out of these examples, I could have selected only the examples where I have obtained correct results & by doing so I could have promoted this theory on a false foundation base but I have given all examples (no matter how wrong or right they are) Normally what we see in any books is the examples with most accurate predictions are given & the ones with wrong predictions are not mentioned anywhere. Request to members : I have already started doing some further studies for better predictions through this theory. I request all members to provide me some birth details (of any expired persons) & the date of their death so that I can have a big collection for studies.
