Dasa is a period in our life. Dasa decides the growth or downfall of a person. Major changes in our life occur when there is a change in our dasa. Each Dasa is ruled by a particular planet and this planet is called Dasa Lord. The dasa is named after dasa lord viz. Ketu dasa, Venus dasa, Sun dasa etc. Favourable planet dasas will give good results in their dasa period.

The above given dasa periods i.e favourable or unfavourable for each lagna are in general and will vary according to the strength of the horoscope. While judging the dasa, good or bad, we should consider the strength of the Lagna, placement of the planet, Aspect on the planet, conjunction of planet and Transit of planets. Some people may get good results in unfavourable dasa periods, due to their Lagna strength, transit effect and beneficial aspect.
So we conclude that, Dasa controls our life, where changes are inevitable.
