Does sixth/eight distance between Maha and Antara dasa in Vimshottari signifies problems from the goverment?
Not neccesarily. There must be some yoga in twelfth from Arudhapada with Surya/Guru/Shukra to show this kind of obstacles.
Whilst the sixth/eight relation between Maha and Anatara dasa shows that the circumstance or event is coming in not smooth way wihch can mean a lot of stress, low energy, resignation, no motivation and so on.
Also we are taught to check position of dasa ruling planet from the Lagnadhipati (lord of Ascendent) to know if you like that particular activity.
Does the Dasa shows different activities like have different phases or types of work undertaken, for example in the Mangala dasa which is 10 years I have done different types of work then how to judge ?
Yes, if Antardasa is wellplaced from Mahadasa then the event comes in nice circumstance when the world is offering some goodies based on the position of planet, whilst Lagnesh position as the moot point for antardasa calculation shows if you like that particular idea given by graha. This works for all Vargas.
Reg. Mahadasa being the long-time period you should help yourself with (a) trend of dasa - division the dasa for three periods and also (b) antardasa levels.
