more tropical

[Guest guest]

Vox, many thanks for your thanks.

 

Das, to me a moving zodiac is still a zodiac. I do not want to preach to the

converted but yes i admit that vedic astrology is superior, we have many

tools to follow, the parampara system is a living one and the Lahiri's

ayanamsa is the best. But the tropical zodiac has something to offer. I do

not have time to follow the tropical but i am sure that there is something

positive in it. I also accept that there is a lot of time wasting in

tropical astrology when studying the effects of the asteroids etc. Let me

explain my point of view. South of Mexico City, there is a pyramid

(Xochicalco), which has a system of tunnels underneath and there is at least

a chamber that communicates to the outside with a hole about 20 inches in

diameter and 3 yards deep. It happens that twice a year, the sun comes

exactly above that hole and illuminates the chamber. Some people says that

the Toltec-Mayas used that chamber for cosmic initiations many hundreds of

years ago. Then we have that in Teotihuacan, (North-East of Mexico City),

and in Chichen-Itza (south-east of Mexico), there are pyramides that twice a

year grasp the path of the sunlight with a moving light and shadow like

illusion. If in the future, we suffer from a nuclear war, economical break

down or a natural cataclysm, and we do not have the modern facilities of

computers, electricity, etc., we will need a calendar to find out the best

times for planting and harvest. The alienation of some pyramids shows the

solstices and equinox times related to Earth. With the sidereal sky, we can

find the entry of the Sun in Aries, but this sky is not good to tell us when

the sunlight is going to be positive for planting. The tropical sky points

to the time when the sun comes into Aries, starting the season when it is

best for the growth of nature. If the sunlight is important for planting and

harvesting, then the tropical sky is good at calculating the path of the sun.

Raman (if i remember well) said that the tropical sky was at one point

attached to the sidereal calculations but somehow, the separation of both

schools came and both followed a different direction.

 

Yes, i am right, your speaking sometimes "kills" poor souls, you chop their

heads off. I have to admit that sometimes i am like that (and sometimes

worst) but it has to be a big thing. So, i suggest to be tolerant and show

them what is good for them and it will be up-to them to decide. Also, you

are right, i should say that i am a Spaniard converted (recycled) into Aztec.

By the way, recent discoveries shows that the Aztecs used to travel north

and eat Anazasi people. Not wonder that with our Aztec karma, we say in

Mexico "Poor of us, so far from God and too near the Americans". Just

kidding, i have many nice American friends.

 

Regarding the outers, maybe we will find one day some vedic writings about

them and you are right again, we may not be ready for that information or are

meant to be a secret. It is a good question and one day when i get the

opportunity, i will ask my teachers about it. We know that brahminical

initiation and qualification is a must for the handling of vedic astrology.

This means a great responsibility and we should not play with the stuff. But

i cannot help it to remember that in the Krishna book, we read how Krishna

met Varuna and Indra.

 

Best wishes
