Gaja Kesari Yogam

I am going to write about some Yogam situations in a horoscope. Yogam means association - joint state - "Koottu in Tamil".
When two planets join together in a particular fashion subject to certain conditions they create a Yogam.

Well, let us see what is this Gaja Kesari Yogam.

This is one of the most important Yogams created by Chandran(Moon).

When the planet Guru (Jupiter) is in kendras to Chandran(Moon) i.e., 1, 4, 7, 10th houses, the native gets Gaja Kesari Yogam.

Gaja means Elephant. Kesari means Lion. Since elephant is of big size, all animals will be afraid of it, but not lion. At the same time Elephant will be afraid of Lion. The native who has Gaja Kesari Yoham will not be afraid of troubles like Lion who is not afraid of Elephant. On the contrary all troubles will be afraid of this native like the elephant which is afraid of Lion.

So for all people who have this yogam, life will be interesting when they face challenges. If Chandran (Moon)and Guru (Jupiter)are in a strong position, whatever may be the lagnam, the effects will be that they will have the last laugh whenever they face challenges or troubles. This means that they will overcome any challenges and will win over it.

So for this yogam to work, both planets should be strong and without any affliction. Even if there is a small affliction, the yogam will not be of any use.

In addition to successfully facing the challenges, the native will have an opportunity to lead. He will be able to lead, get good name, fame etc., For Chandran(Moon) if he is Sukla Paksha Chandran(Valar Pirai in Tamil) it is good.

Ms Shyamala from Chennai has asked what will happen if one has Sasa Yogam which is called one of the Pancha Maha Purusha Yogam. She will get my reply in my next post.
