Danda Yoga comes under Akriti Yogas of the Nabhasha Yogas mentioned in B. V. Raman's 300 Important Combinations. Nabasha Yogas are described in other old astrological texts like Brihat Jataka and Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra(BPHS).

     Danda Yoga is a very simple yoga formed when seven planets including Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn occupy fourth quandrant. In simple words these seven planets should occupy:

1. Tenth House
2. Eleventh House
3. Twelfth House
4. First House(ascendant)

     As long as all seven planets are in fourth quandrant this yoga should ocurr.

• North Style
• South Style

 

     According to B. V. Raman having Danda Yoga in horoscope will lack happiness from wife and children.

     If there are too many planets in twelfth house than misery in wedlock is possible cause twelfth house rules over sex and bedroom pleasures. Tenth house deals with career so having a few friendly planets may eventually lead to good career progress. Eleventh house rules over income and friends circle and depending on strength of planets placed in eleventh house there can be good income and loyal friends. Alternatively bad placement of planets in eleventh house could suggest opposite scenario.

     Having this yoga in horoscope should be extremely rare.

     B. V. Raman does not think too highly of Akriti Yogas of which Sakti Yoga is a part. He thinks they don't contribute much to the success of an individual. According to B. V. Ramam they give a better idea about means of livelihood a person will have.
