HOW TO CALCUATE ANTARDASA PERIOD?

Let us see the complete details about the effects of Antardasa and Antardasa Lords would deliver in our life. First Let us study how to divide Mahadasa period into Antardasa period.

How to calculate Antardasa period within a Mahadasa period?

The Mahadasa period of a particular planet would be divided by all 9 planets in an unequal manner. We know that the Sun Mahadasa has a period of 6 Years. This 9 years would be divided by all the 9 planets in an unequal manner among themselves. Let us find out how to divide these Mahadasa period into Antardasa periods.

FORMULA TO DIVIDE MAHADASA PERIOD INTO ANTARDASA PERIODS: 

D = M * 3 

Total Days of Antardasa Period = D * A 

where M = Number of Mahadasa Years, D = Antardasa Days Period per Year and A = Number of Mahadasa Years of the planet for which Antardasa period has to be calculated.

Example 1:

Let us calculate Sun Antardasa Period of Sun Mahadasa using this formula.

We all know Sun Mahadasa = 6 Years.

Let us take M = 6, hence M * 3 = 6 * 3 = 18 Days/Per Year = D

Now we need to calculate the Sun Antardasa period, hence we take A = 6 

Now D = M * 3 = 6 * 3 = 18 Days @ D = 18 Days

Now Total Days of Sun Antardasa Period = D * A = 18 * 6 = 108 Days

Let us convert 108 Days into months.

108 Days/30 Days = 3 months and 18 Days.

That is, Sun Antardasa period within the Sun Mahadasa period would last for 3 months and 18 days.

Example 2: 

We are going to calculate Moon Antardasa period within the Sun Mahadasa period.

Hence we take M = 6 Years (Sun Mahadasa period)

So, D = M * 3 = 6 * 3 = 18 Days/per Year = D

We want to calculate the Moon Antardasa period within the Sun Mahadasa period

Hence we take A = 10

Now Total Days of Moon Antardasa Periods = D * A = 18 * 10 = 180 Days.

Let us convert 180 Days into months.

180 Days/ 30 days = 6 months.

Results: The Moon Antardasa period within the Sun Mahadasa is 6 months.

Example 3:

Let us calculate Kethu Antardasa period within the Shani Mahadasa periods.

We know that Kethu Mahadasa period = 7 Years
                      Shani Mahadasa period = 19 Years

Let us take the formula:

D = M * 3

Here M = 19 and A = 7

D = M * 3 = 19 * 3 = 57 days = D

Now Total Days of Kethu Antardasa Periods = D * A = 57 * 7 = 399 Days.

Now let us convert 399 days into months.

399 Days/30 days = 13 months 9 days = 1 Year 1 month 9 days.

That is, Kethu Antardasa period would be 1 year 1 month 9 days period within the 19 Years of Shani Antardasa period.

Using this formula, we can divide all the Mahadasa periods into Antardasa period of all 9 planets
