Parashari Asrtrology

[Guest guest]

Visti,

 

I am under the impression that Jaimini and his system were nothing exactly

apart from Parashara. He was the disciple of Parashara's son. The father is

considered a guru, especailly if the father is a Vedic sage. So Jaimini can

be considered the disciple of Parashara.

 

I doubt that Parashara's teaching have all been conserved in BPHS. But the

astrology from BPHS is the astrology which we basically practice. The Hindus

already use this term Parashari astrology. It refers to all of Hindu

astrology, except the differences found in Jaimini and Tajaka. Even though

some of Jaimini could have been known to parashara, and could have been in

use at the time, that is how the Hindus divide it.

 

I really think that the demigod culture mentioned in the Puranas engendered

humanity on Earth and fostered the Vedic culture, of which we see but

remanents. So when sages like Parashara tell that they were instructed by

Vedic sages such as narada and Brahma, I don't see it as mythology.

Astrology wasn't " figured out," it is not empiric. I'm sure that it was

handed down as a complete systemI'm sure that it was imparted as a complete

system by the same celestial civilization which gave us ayurveda and Vedic

religion.

 

later!
