Swami Dayananda's creation, the Arya Samaj, unequivocally condemns idol worship, animal sacrifice, ancestor worship, pilgrimages, priest craft, offerings made in temples, the caste system, untouchability, child marriages and discrimination against women on the grounds that all these lacked Vedic sanction. The Arya Samaj discourages dogma and symbolism and encourages skepticism in beliefs that run contrary to common sense and logic. To many people, the Arya Samaj aims to be a "universal society" based on the authority of the Vedas.

Yoga Karaka Graha
O Brahmin, thus I have told you about the effects, derivable through Karakana.
Now listen to the effects, arising out of lordships of Graha over Bhava.
2-7. Nature due to Lordships of Graha. [kendra adhi pati dosha]
Benefics, owning Kendra, will not give benefic effects, while malefics, owning Kendra, will not remain inauspicious.
The Lord of a Kona will give auspicious results.
The Lord of Lagna is specially auspicious, as Lagna is a Kendra, as well as a Kona.
Putra and Dharma Bhava are specially for wealth, while Yuvati and Karma Bhava are specially for happiness.

VEDIC ASTROLOGY : AN INTEGRATED APPROACH
The author of “Vedic Astrology:An Integrated Approach” states:
“Considering the wealth of Vedic astrology literature in Sanskrit and English, ….......I wanted,
like a parrot that enthusiastically repeats the few words learnt by it, to share with fellow students the little knowledge I received from classics and from my gurus. In this book, I covered divisional charts, special ascendants, arudhas, argalas, yogas, ashtakavarga, avasthas, a few nakshatra dasas, a few rasi dasas, several techniques of transit analysis, Tajaka analysis and a few miscellaneous topics.
Understanding the primacy Parasara gave to all these concepts is a must for a renaissance in Vedic astrology. Unfortunately, some people think today that Parasara and Jaimini taught two totally
different approaches to astrology. When we talk about arudha padas, argalas, chara karakas, chara dasa and other rasi dasas, people think of them as “Jaimini astrology”. People even use terms like “Jaimini karakas” and “Jaimini dasas”. However, all these concepts were covered by Parasara also (please read “Brihat Parasara Hora Sastram”). The “Parasari vs Jaimini” distinction is based on unfortunate
misconceptions that we can do away with. In this book, I have de-emphasized these wrong distinctions and emphasized an integrated approach – a holistic approach – that looks at Vedic astrology as a whole. I really think that this is the right approach.”

It is an expedition best known for its failure. Not only did a Norwegian rival beat Captain Robert Scott to the South Pole, but his five-man team died on the return journey.
