Guest guest Posted September 12, 2000 Report Share Posted September 12, 2000 Partha: Sorry, BPHS refers to Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra, which is the most definitive written account of jyotish. Many people cite it to support different techniques and approaches, as if the book is the 'ulitmate reference' and settles all arguments. In fact, many people see it as more than just a book, preferring to think of it as a sacred source of a "revealed science" from ancient sages. For an agnostic like me, though, I think of it as just an important book, albeit with a very impressive track record!

Guest guest Posted September 12, 2000 Report Share Posted September 12, 2000 It is simply a reference book, perhaps a compendium of information from pre Parashara sages as well as Parashara's own thoughts, nothing more, nothing less. One common myth that is accepted without questioning even by quite even-keeled jyotishis is that Parashara is the father of jyotish. Obviously not, as in his text he refers to earlier saints, etc. He was probably the first person to organize what was available into one place. And, there is a lot more in jyotish that he does not touch upon.
