VEDIC ASTROLOGY DEMYSTIFIED - Chandrashekhar Sharma - Saavana year

Hello everyone,

This question is rather intended for Mr Chandrashekhar Sharma if he

wish to answer it. However, I will appreciate everybody's answer.

In chapter XI, concerning Vimshottari dasha, it is stated that we

must use saavana year for dasha calculation, refering to Parashara's

BPHS:

«Brahma, daiva, maanusha, pitrya, saur, saavana, chaandra, nakshatra

and guru are the 9 types (of months and years) [...] Out of these 9

types, five are in use and they are used for different purpose [...]

Saavana month/year is to be accepted for prediction of the writing of

Brahma (Jakata's bhagya/fortune) and birth (literally, foetus of a

woman)».

Is it possible to have the exact reference, chapter and verse, please?

It has been a controversy among French jyotishi (at least!) and I was

a firm supporter of the 365, saura year, until I read this passage of

Mr Sharma, to who I am now obliged.

Many thanks!
