These are planetary configurations, a large number of which in the birth map indicate a great person.
Such graha-yoga is formed if Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus or Saturn are located in the monastery or in the sign of exaltation and at the same time fall into a corner or trigonal house from the ascendant or from the moon.
Mahapurusha - Yoga strengthens the qualities of the planet and spreads its nature, character and strength throughout the horoscope. Under its influence, a person can turn into an embodiment of a pure planetary type. The qualities of the planet that forms mahapurusha yoga are often reflected in the physical appearance of the owner of the horoscope. But the Sun and the Moon in such positions also receive a certain advantage.
Mars - Rucaka Yoga
Mahapurusha - yoga, formed by Mars, is called ruchaka - yoga, which means "radiant", "longed for", "tasty." It gives a person such qualities of Mars as courage, determination and independence, and also gives strength to all his actions and helps to achieve goals.
Excerpts from the Phaladipika:
A person born with a yoga handle will have a long face, he will gain wealth by performing valiant deeds, he will be brave, overpower his enemies and will be imperious and arrogant. He will be famous for his merits, he will become a colonel and will always emerge victorious.
Such a configuration is often found in natal charts of Martian-type people - commanders, politicians, lawyers, athletes, scientists and leading workers. It promises great successes in life, victory and glory, but can lead to the disclosure of the tamasic qualities of Mars (including the propensity for violence and suppression), and therefore does not always favor spiritual development. The beneficial handle of yoga depends, of course, on which planet Mars is aspected to. For example, if it is a friendly Jupiter, then the effect of yoga is favorable, and if Saturn or Rahu is negative.
Mercury - Bhadra Yoga
Bhadra Yoga means "auspicious." Such a Mahapurusha Yoga is formed by Mercury. It endows a person with the clearly expressed qualities of Mercury - eloquence, developed mental abilities, wit, sense of humor, humanity and mental poise.
The Phaladipiki says:
A person born with bhadra yoga will be granted longevity and an insightful mind (buddhi), he will be clean, praised by the sages, he will rule people, he will be very rich, he will be smart and discreet when addressing the congregation.
Bhadra Yoga can often be seen on the cards of mental workers, writers, teachers, and businessmen. She gives many talents. But the rajastic qualities of Mercury may also be manifested - anxiety or a penchant for money-grubbing, the desire to put the whole world on the shelves and label everything.
Jupiter - Hamsa Yoga
Mahapurusha yoga, formed by Jupiter, is called hamsa yoga - “Swan Yoga” (the swan is a symbol of spiritual knowledge) or “goose”.
Excerpts from the Phaladipika:
A man born with hamsa yoga will become a king extolled by the good ... His body will be impeccable, he will eat exquisite food and in all respects will be fair.
Hamsa yoga gives a person such qualities of Jupiter as high morality, philosophical mentality, religiosity, optimism, and creative abilities. This yoga also gives good health and firm faith, prosperity and abundance.
Hamsa yoga is often found in natal charts of religious people, teachers, free-thinking community leaders and leading businessmen, and sometimes well-known artists and showmen. It gives the ability to rejoice and empathize and can direct a person on the path of spirituality. However, if Hamsa Yoga appears only on a superficial level, the owner of the horoscope will be interested mainly in worldly successes.
Venus - Malawya Yoga
Mahapurusha - Yoga formed by Venus is called Malawya Yoga (Malawya is a resident of the Indian state of Malawi). It gives a person such qualities of Venus as beauty, charm, grace, artistic talents. This yoga brings comfort and prosperity, as well as the ability to dispose of material and vehicles.
The Phaladipiki says:
A man born with Malawi Yoga will be strong in body, decisive, rich, gifted with his wife, children and the favor of fortune, he will prosper, enjoy life and own good crews, he will become glorified and wise. He will have a straightforward disposition.
Malawya Yoga can be found in the horoscopes of artists, beautiful women, wealthy and influential people, and sometimes also in the maps of politicians. Depending on additional factors, at a high level, Malawya Yoga gives the ability to selfless devotion and selfless service.
Saturn - Shasha Yoga
Shasha means "hare." Shasha Yoga is Mahapurusha Yoga formed by Saturn. This yoga gives a person the clearly expressed qualities of Saturn, which include - power over people, authority, industriousness, control of material resources, ability to great achievements.
Excerpts from the Phaladipika:
A person born with Shasha Yoga will be praised by everyone, he will have decent servants, he will become strong, will be king or headman in his village, will be immoral, will intrigue with other people's wives, seize someone else's good and will be happy.
Shasha Yoga is often found in natal charts of political leaders and big businessmen.
Saturn is a cruel planet, therefore, if the Moon and Jupiter in the horoscope are weak, Shasha Yoga can make a person selfish, ruthless or prone to destruction (Saturn in corner houses always causes concern). With a favorable location, Shasha Yoga gives freedom from attachment, spiritual foresight and the ability to remain silent.
So, mahapurusha yoga is often found in the horoscopes of famous, successful people, and in many maps you can see at least one combination of this type. However, in full force, these yogis are manifested when their location is favorable.
Under the negative influence of Mahapurusha Yoga, a person sometimes inclines to pride. For example, the mahapurusha yoga of Mars is present in the map of Hitler.
Mahapurusha yoga is considered stronger when its forming planet is located in the tenth house - the best of the corner houses, or if it is formed both in houses from the ascendant and in houses from the moon. And also if the yoga-forming planet is the final dispositor of the horoscope or controls many other planets, and is associated with planets that are friendly or related to it (for example, Mars - with the Sun, Jupiter - with the Moon, etc.). It is advisable that the planet that forms yoga in the system of houses from the ascendant run favorable houses.
