Purnayu Yoga (Part 5): Powerful Cancellation of Purnayu & Remedies to Strengthen Longevity
April 7, 2025 Table of Contents
Introduction
In Part 4, we explored how Saturn plays a crucial role in ensuring longevity and how various planetary combinations strengthen Purnayu Yoga, ensuring a lifespan of 75-100 years. However, even if Purnayu Yoga is present, certain planetary afflictions, unfavorable Dashas, and malefic influences can weaken or even cancel its effects.
This final part of the series will cover:
✔ Factors that weaken or cancel Purnayu Yoga.
✔ The role of planetary Dashas in determining longevity.
✔ Remedies to strengthen Purnayu Yoga and counteract negative influences.
✔ Final case studies of Purnayu Yoga being strengthened or weakened over time.
1. What Can Weaken or Cancel Purnayu Yoga?
Even if a birth chart shows Purnayu Yoga, several factors can reduce or nullify its effects. These include:
🔹 Severe Malefic Afflictions to Lagna & Lagna Lord
✔ If the Lagna or its lord is heavily afflicted by malefics (Saturn, Mars, Rahu, Ketu), it weakens the physical body and reduces immunity.
✔ If the Lagna lord is debilitated and placed in a Trik house (6th, 8th, 12th), it can bring health struggles, despite Purnayu indications.
📌 Example:
- Virgo Lagna with Lagna lord Mercury debilitated in Pisces (7th house).
- Rahu in Lagna, Saturn in the 6th house (creating health struggles).
📌 Impact: The person may face chronic illnesses that reduce their lifespan.
🔹 Weak or Afflicted 8th House & 8th House Lord
✔ If the 8th house is occupied by multiple malefics without benefic aspects, it can create unexpected health risks or accidents.
✔ If the 8th house lord is debilitated or combust (burnt by the Sun), it weakens the person’s ability to survive long-term challenges.
📌 Example:
- Cancer Lagna with 8th house in Aquarius (ruled by Saturn).
- 8th lord Saturn is debilitated in Aries in the 10th house.
📌 Impact: The person may struggle with health issues and may not live beyond 70-75 years.
🔹 Afflicted Jupiter & Saturn
✔ Jupiter (karaka of longevity and wisdom) must be strong; if debilitated or afflicted by malefics, it weakens protective influences.
✔ Saturn (natural significator of longevity) must be well-placed; if retrograde, combust, or conjunct Rahu/Ketu, it can cause karmic struggles leading to reduced lifespan.
📌 Example:
- Jupiter is debilitated in Capricorn (weak).
- Saturn is combust and conjunct Rahu in the 8th house.
📌 Impact: The person may experience sudden health setbacks despite having Purnayu Yoga.
🔹 Unfavorable Dashas & Transits
Even if a person has Purnayu Yoga, their Dashas (planetary periods) can determine whether it manifests fully.
✔ If a malefic Dasha runs during childhood or middle age, it can reduce life expectancy.
✔ If a weak planetary Dasha occurs at an important phase of life, health risks may arise.
✔ If a strong Jupiter or Saturn Mahadasha occurs, it strengthens longevity.
📌 Example:
- A person has Purnayu Yoga but enters a Rahu Mahadasha with Rahu in the 8th house.
📌 Outcome: Health struggles and unexpected accidents may shorten the lifespan.
2. The Role of Planetary Dashas in Determining Longevity
🔹 Dashas That Support Longevity:
✔ Jupiter Mahadasha – Protects and strengthens lifespan.
✔ Saturn Mahadasha – If well-placed, ensures endurance and longevity.
✔ Venus Mahadasha – Provides balance and prevents health risks.
🔹 Dashas That Can Reduce Longevity:
❌ Rahu or Ketu Mahadasha (If Afflicted) – Can bring sudden health issues or accidents.
❌ Saturn Mahadasha (If Afflicted) – Can cause long-term health struggles.
❌ Mars Mahadasha (If Weak or Malefic) – Can bring surgeries, accidents, or conflicts that reduce life expectancy.
📌 Key Principle: If a person has Purnayu Yoga but enters a bad planetary period, they may still face life-threatening issues.
3. Remedies to Strengthen Purnayu Yoga & Ensure Longevity
If Purnayu Yoga is weak or at risk due to planetary afflictions, these astrological remedies can help balance longevity factors.
A. Mantras for Strengthening Longevity
📌 Chanting powerful mantras helps strengthen benefic planets and reduce negative influences.
🔹 For Saturn: “Om Sham Shanicharaya Namah” (108 times daily)
🔹 For Jupiter: “Om Gurave Namah” (108 times daily)
🔹 For General Longevity: Mahamrityunjaya Mantra (108 times daily)
B. Gemstones for Longevity
✔ Yellow Sapphire (Pukhraj) – Strengthens Jupiter’s protection.
✔ Blue Sapphire (Neelam) – Enhances Saturn’s endurance and discipline.
✔ Emerald (Panna) – Strengthens Mercury, which improves immunity and intelligence.
📌 (Wear these gemstones only after consulting an astrologer to avoid negative effects.)
C. Pujas & Charitable Acts to Strengthen Longevity
✔ Perform Mahamrityunjaya Homam (Fire Ritual) for health and long life.
✔ Donate black sesame seeds, mustard oil, or iron on Saturdays (for Saturn’s blessings).
✔ Feed cows and donate food to elderly people (for Jupiter’s blessings).
✔ Offer water to Lord Shiva daily to reduce karmic longevity issues.
4. Case Studies of Purnayu Yoga Being Strengthened or Weakened

📌 Birth Chart Details:
- Taurus Lagna with Lagna lord Venus in the 10th house (Kendra, strong).

Final Conclusion: How to Ensure the Full Manifestation of Purnayu Yoga
✔ Purnayu Yoga alone does not guarantee longevity—Dashas and planetary transits play a key role.
✔ Afflictions to the Lagna, 8th house, and Jupiter/Saturn can weaken Purnayu Yoga.
✔ A strong Jupiter and Saturn protect and sustain longevity.
✔ Mantras, pujas, charitable acts, and gemstones can help balance weak planetary influences.
