Guest guest Posted May 5, 2001 Report Share Posted May 5, 2001 Namaste. In BPHS Rasi Dristi was given before dicussing Bhava effects, whilst Graha Dristi was given before discussing Yogas. Jaimini's Upadesa doesn't deal with yogas at all. Jaimini's Advisory Stanzas(i've seen someone give this translation, please clarify), only deals with the Rasi Dasa's, Swamsa interpretation, longevity and timing, death, ailments, and childbirth. Many times he refers to standard texts to see what he hasn't covered. He talks about other vargas, but doesn't give the calculations for them, and even recommends to use Vimshottari Dasa for timing some events, yet doesn't give the calculations.. instead he again refers to other texts. Jaimini's Upadesa cannot be considered a system of astrology. All he does is discusses parts of what Parasara explained. His additions however are: 3 Vargas, 1 Dasa system, and 1 combilation of 3 existing dasa systems. Its said that Jaimini was a desciple of VedaVyasa. I'm trying to support that we should embrace all the contributions of the Rishi's as one complete system. Both Graha and Rasi Dristi serve their specific purposes, and one should chose one over the other.. Hence understanding is the key. With just a little bit of meditation one starts to see the similarities. Its not hard, just meditate.. if the rishi's did, then so should we.

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2001 Report Share Posted May 8, 2001 > >Add a little more Jupiter to spice up the Mercury. > It is futile because when the planet like Mercury becomes a planet of shallow knowledge, things like this are bound to occur, and that is the fate of astrology today, no laments, things would go on and on and then after going a full circle, it would end up only where from it started. Have seen this happen number of times before and shall continue to happen, till "Mercurian" astrologers are present. "Kumati Sumati sab ke ur reh-hin" Tulsi Das said in Ramayana, in Sundar Kand. That describes it best. with best wishes to Jupiterians, Manoj _______________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
