Guest guest Posted October 31, 2000 Report Share Posted October 31, 2000 Dear Yadu Prabhu <<Hari Sauri who was Srila Prabhupada's servant for the last 2 years insists emphatically that Srila Prabhupada gave his birth tine as around 4 PM >> I don't doubt what Hari Sauri is saying ( i met him at the Manor long time ago) but the time of 4pm could be 1530 or 1630, depending in the calculations. In 1896, astrologers mainly used gathis and vigathis after sunrise to calculate the birth time and when translated into 24 hours time errors can be made. If we calculate the chart for 15:30, the ascendant is 29°54 Sagittarius (vargottama lagna) and at 16:00 we get 7°43 Capricorn. I go for the vargottama lagna. Also, Sagittarius is Dharma and Capricorn is Karma when seen as the natural houses of the zodiac. I can say that Prabhupada was more an exponent of dharma than karma.
