Vedic Astrology byK.S. Krishnamurti |
K.S. Krishnamurti carried the titles of Sothida Mannan, Jyotish Marthand. He lived from 1908 to 1972. He became famous for his invention of the Padhdhati system of rulers & sub-rulers, which (if I've understood things correctly) goes a bit like this:
For every sign there is a ruling lord, one of the five planets, plus sun & moon, Rahu & Ketu. Krishnamurti uses his own sign rulerships. Each of the signs are, in their turn, divided into 9 unequal parts, in the same proportions as the 120 year Vimshottari dasa system. Each of these parts is ruled by one of the five planets, plus sun, moon, Rahu & Ketu, in much the same fashion as the Vimshottari dasas they are based on. These small parts are collectively known as "subs", their rulers are the sub-lords, there are 249 of them. Each of the subs can in turn be further divided, again, along Vimshottari dasa lines. This is method is applied to house cusps, which, in the KP system are calculated in the Placidus system. In the two texts I consulted, there was mention of constellations & nakshatras (which are synonyms in Vedic), but the math supplied in both cases related to 30 degree signs, not asterisms.
This system of sub-lords is said to produce fabulous predictive results with transiting planets. As it is applied equally to the ascendant, Krishnamurti astrology requires very accurate birth times.
The Krishnamurti system is a family affair. Two of his children, K. Hariharan, and, K. Subramaniam, continue their father's work. Each of them publish several of their father's original books, plus several of their own. Quantities have never been great & the books are often out of stock. See also:
Books by son K. Hariharan, and,
Books by son K. Subramaniam.
