It was in the Maha Dasha of 9th lord Jupiter when Pandit Dhirendra Krishna Shastri claims to have spiritual powers achieved through ‘Sadhana’ and the blessings of his great grandfather, Sanyasi Baba, the founder of the Bhageshwar Dham.
He becomes popular during Jupiter Maha Dasha and Saturn Anter Dasha (January 2020 to August 2022) but controversies are also following him since then. Jupiter as the 6th (disputes) and 9th (religion) lord is in the 6th house in retrograde motion (Ati Vakri) as it is in the 7th house from the Sun. Here Jupiter is making a grand Dhana Yoga as it is the 9th lord (Lakshmi Sathan) and is in mutual aspect with the 2nd lord (wealth) the Sun. His growing populating gave his religious trust tremendous financial growth from donations by devotees. But since Jupiter get the aspect of Saturn which is a functional malefic so controversies also have to come. Many rationalists made several complaints against his claims to possess supernatural spiritual powers.
But notice here the 10th lord and 5th lord Mars is in the 11th house of gains along with the 11th lord Venus which is a very good Dhana Yoga, and it also gave him support of many top politicians of the country including Prime Minister Modi himself who visited Bhagashwar Dham to lays the foundation stone of his charitable cancer hospital.

Yoga’s for marriage in Pandit Dhirendra Krishna Shastri’s horoscope
In the birth chart of Pandit Dhirendra Krishna Shastri the 7th lord (Saturn) is in the 9th house in its own Nakshatra along with Ketu. In Navamsha the 7th house has Venus and Rahu in mutual aspect with 7th lord Mercury there which is promising for marriage. From the Moon the 7th house gets the aspect of Jupiter and the 7th lord the Sun is also getting the aspect of Jupiter which is also a yoga showing his intent to marry.
During the ongoing Jupiter Dasha and Venus Anter Dasha from October 2025 to August 2028 he is likely to get married. The most likely time for his marriage will be during July 2026 to July 2027 when the Jaimini Chara Dasha of Aries will be running. Aries get the Jaimini aspect of the Darakaraka the Moon. In Navamsha the Darakaraka the Moon is in the 7th house from Aries.
The transiting Jupiter will be in Cancer from the mid of 2026 to mid of 2027 when it will aspect the 7th house from his Janma lagna and also the 7th lord Saturn from the 9th aspect confirming his marriage then.
His Jupiter Dasha, which is till December 2033, will be good for his religious career but it will keep him involve in many controversies also. Since Jupiter has acquire the good lordship of trine houses in Rashi, Navamsha and Dashamasha charts, and it is also under good aspect of the Sun so he will continue to enjoy the patronage from the top politicians of the country.
