Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra gives calculations for sixteen different Varga charts. And while he does give some bits of information on each Varga, every astrologer feels in his bones that there is just so much to Vargas, but what? Parashara answers a large portion of that question by assigning deities to each Varga. He answers the remaining part of that question by the very mathematics of the Vargas. The key to fully understanding and utilizing the Vargas is, therefore, to deeply contemplate both the deities of the Vargas and the mathematics of the Vargas. Thus there are three things required of us by Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra to understand the Vargas:

1. The indications of the Vargas as given by Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra.
2. The mathematics of the Vargas.
3. The deities of the Vargas which is a very involved study.

In addition to these three things, there are a few Yogas bearing on the Vargas scattered in in other ancient texts that can help us understand a bit the Vargas. And for the more visual minded individual there are many wonderful symbolic descriptions of many of the Vargas found in a couple of the earliest available Vedic Astrology texts. Both these Yogas and symbolic descriptions will also be discussed in these videos.
