In Sanskrit astrological nomenclature Yogas mean special planetary combinations for the productions of high political power and influence, great wealth, philanthropy, asceticism, misery, debts, demoralization and corruption. These yogas must be properly scrutinized along with the application of the usual astrological rules. Yogas can make or mar a man. Misfortunes are found in a horoscope. For wealth etc. we have different types of yogas – Raja yoga – producing high political power. Dhana yoga or combination for great wealth; and Gnana yoga or combinations for real higher knowledge and renunciation of the world; and Arishta yoga – series of misfortunes of the most baneful nature.
