About the Book
Padanadhamsha Dasa (PND) is one of the most powerful yet lesser-known predictive systems in Jaimini astrology, deeply rooted in the Navamsa (D9) chart. This book by Anantha Sharma Ede Prasad presents a comprehensive and systematic explanation of this unique dasa system, which was extensively used by the legendary Jaimini scholar Sri Vemuri Rama Murthy Sastry for more than five decades with remarkable predictive accuracy.

The book explains how the Navamsa chart forms the foundation for determining Maha Dasa sequences, Maha Dasa durations, Anthara Dasa order, and precise timing of life events. The concept of Pada-nadhamsa—defined as the Navamsa sign occupied by the lord of the Arudha Lagna—is explored in depth, along with its role in initiating the Maha Dasa cycle. The author carefully explains how the sequence of dasas depends on the nature of zodiac signs—movable, fixed, or dual—and their odd or even characteristics.

A distinctive feature of PND is its use of the Graha-chakra method to determine dasa karakas, offering a different and insightful approach compared to traditional Chara Karaka methods. The book also provides clear guidelines on dasa durations, where Maha Dasas range from 2 to 12 years and Anthara Dasas range from 2 to 12 months.

To enhance practical understanding, the author includes numerous real-life chart examples and demonstrates predictive techniques using divisional charts such as D3, D10, D20, D24, and more. Special Lagnas, Yogada principles, and advanced predictive tools are integrated to help astrologers accurately time important life events related to career, education, spirituality, and destiny.

This book is an essential resource for serious students and practitioners of Jaimini astrology who want to master advanced predictive methods and expand their understanding of Navamsa-based dasa systems.
