Abraham Lincoln TOB and others!

Om Namah Sivaya!!!

 

Namaste Mani and others on the list!!

 

When reading your posting re Lincoln's TOB and your comments about

the time zone being 0:00, i remembered that GJ had Paramahansa

Yoganandaji's TOB with a time zone of 0:00 too, which results in a

different chart from one in which you just plug in the local mean time

and the longitude and latitude...i have also noticed that several

authors have used different time zones for him....When you don't use

GJ's time zone, but just the time and physical coordinates, you wind

up with a chart similar to the one David Frawley has in his Astrology

of the Seers and too, the chart exhibited by Hart de Fouw and Robert

Svoboda in their Light on Life...Since both of these pretty reliable

books (as far as i can tell!!!) have the same resulting chart, and

Goravani's is different...because of the time zone being 0:00, i

believe, that possibly when the GJ list of people was compiled,

someone forgot to enter the right time Zone or something like that....

So perhaps the same is holding for Abraham Lincoln...They didn't use

British time back then, because it just wouldn't have made sense...it

wouldn't fit in with the day/night scheme of things....So

respectfully

i submit that possibly that time zone of 0:00 in the GJ is a mistake

of programming...a typo....just as i believe the timezone for

Paramahansa Yoganandaji is a typo...if you put in the time given and

the longitude/latitude co-ordinates, you'll get a time zone of 5:35

for Paramahansaji, very similar to that of Ramakrsna

Paramahansadevaji, and they were born i believe in the same time

zone..or very similar....any thoughts about this?????

i have brought this up at one time with dasji, but there was no

response...(and what could he do anyways?...the program is on the

cdrom...unchangeable..)..but in all common sense, India will not be on

the same time zone as Greenwich, England!!!!

Love and in Her Service,

There are two possibilities:

1. as you say, a typing error, or

2. the TOB is given in GMT instead of LT. In that case the Zone has to be zero!

This was not uncommon, because every place did not really use the actual local

time by exact fractional longitude. It was more Local Standard Time, valid for a

full degree of longitude running through a (small) district. The actual local

time could well be 10 minutes either side. To compute a correct chart the LST

had to be converted to GMT.

 

This also facilitates entering data in the programme.

 

In India, the provinces directly under British administration were mainly in the

eastern half of the country. Madras and Calcutta were two main centres, Delhi

and Bombay were not. So the British first established Madras time, GMT plus 5h

21m. Bengal used Calcutta Time, which is given as GMT plus 5h 53 m. I doubt

this: think it should be 5h 31m. My father told me that Calcutta Time was

exactly 30 minutes ahead. This makes sense. The idea of using a standard time

arose with the railroad and the process of making time-tables was otherwise

hell! But to give timings for a train crossing the Bengal border I think an

exact 30 minute difference would have been preferred to 32 minutes. With the

increase of world communication by radio it was all standardized to Nagpur Time,

exactly 5h 30m east of GMT.

 

BTW I could not find Yogananda´s or Vivekananda`s birth data in GJ. Where are

they?
