Gulika according to Vedic astrology

While King Ravana tried to put all planets in 11th house, he blocked them in a chamber and kept them in 11th house in his sons house but saturn did not listen this block , only Sani spread ed his leg in 12th house. 

The Maandi is the son of Saturn, Maandi = Manda = Son of saturn. Just Rahu and ketu,  who dont have physical presense in planetary family Gulika/ Maandi is the same. They work as imiginary point, Upagraha, a satellite, that is related to Saturn. One of my friend told me( He is form Kerala) and they uses a lot regarding these Gulika/Maandi matters specially in prasanna , Horary and picking Muhurta. Many too believes these are the darker sides of Jyotish.

The reference to certain invisible satellites in the Jyothisha Phala Bhagam are Kala, Paridhi, Dhuna, Ardhaprahara, Yamakandaka, Indrachapa, Maandi, Vruthipatha and Upakethu. Besides, Ushnashikha, Vishti and Ekargalam are also considered during result-oriented periods.

Lets see how we could we calculate the Gulika /maandi . Due to rise of softwares, one can easily figure it out form software like - J. Hora etc. But we should know the calculation.

CALCULATIONS OF GULIKA:

step-1 : 1st of all collect the sunrise and sunset time of a day.

step-2 : Devide the whole time into eight parts i.e. devide by 8

Step-3 : 8th portion of everyday is lordless. Rest form 1st to 7th portion have lords and that is given to 7 planets( No rahu and ketu) i.e. Sun , Moon , Mars , Mercury , Jupiter , Venus & saturn

So, we get the following - 

1. the eighth portion is Lord-less,
2. while Shani's portion is Gulika.
3. Surya's portion is Kaala,
4. Mangala's portion is Mrityu,
5. Guru's portion is Yamaghantaka
6. and Budha's portion is Ardhaprahara.

Now, Gulika position will be 7th part of Sunday , 6th part of Monday , 5th part of Tuesday , 4th part of Wednesday , 3rd part of Thursday , 2nd Part of Friday and 1st Part of Saturday.

EXAMPLE 1:

date - 2rd August, 2018
Place - Grafton , Australia

Tithi - Thurseday

Sunrise - 5:45:41 am

Sunset - 7:59:43 am

Time difference(Ignoring seconds) - 14 hours 14 min = {(14 X 60) + 14 } min = 854 min 

Now each part will be - (854 / 8) min = 106.75 min = 106 min 45 sec = 1 hour 46 min 45 sec  ~ 1 hour 46 min

Now the day was Thursday

so, 3rd part of Thursday will be - { 5:45(sunrise) + 5:18(total sum of 2 parts 1 hour 46 min)} = 9 hours 17 min

Gulika time will start form 9:17 AM in morning to 11:03 AM. This time frame is called Gulika of that day. This time frame is not auspicious. use software for perfect timeframe.

Now, as you can see gulika depend on places so sunset and sunrise will be different form place to place. So, Gulika in Mumbai or San Francisco will be different. 

EXAMPLE 2:
9th May, 1975
native born in 9:45 Am calcutta , India
Lagna - 2 degree 11 min 11.61 sec cancer
Tithi - Krishna Triyodosi 
nakshtra - Revati 
Var - Friday
Sunrise - 5:03 am
Sunset - 6:02 pm

Ignoring seconds, time difference is - 12 hours 59 minutes
each part - (12 hours 59 min / 8) = 1 hour 37 minutes
Now , the day was Friday so 2nd part of Friday will be Gulika rasi

So, Sunrise + 1 hour 37 min i.e. 6 hour 40 min in morning which is at 21 degree of Taurus rasi. 

So, native born in in 9th may , 1975 9:45 am place calcutta, West bengal , India will have Gulika in around 21 degree taurus rasi. If you use computer programms you will get more accurate placements.
