Guest guest Posted May 16, 2001 Report Share Posted May 16, 2001 Thank you Das, I will be on guard regarding how to structure what I say in order not to give the wrong impression. My intention was not to be provocative, but to point out the importance of Rashi. All practising jyotishis consider major divisionals, and it goes without saying that Navamsha is considered along with Rashi in determining strength and nature of planets. However, if divisionals are used as the primary method of prediction, then (as I said) the all encompassing richness of Rashi can be overlooked. There is also the issue of having absolutely correct birth times as the divisionals depend on this. It's fair enough to say that the T.O.B. can be rectified by adjusting D-60 (or whatever), but who's insightful enough to clearly see the intricacies associated with another's destiny and to adjust birth time accordingly. Jyotishi's (like anyone else) are subjected to their own preconceived ideas, albeit on a subtle level, and their judgement can be wrong...not intentionally so of course, but the chances of being wrong are as great as the chances of being right. Rashi is more inclined to be accurate and contains within it the hidden detail of divisionals if it's studied deeply...let's not neglect Rashi in favour of divisionals. This is all I'm trying to say, and it's not meant to be a provocative statement.

Guest guest Posted May 17, 2001 Report Share Posted May 17, 2001 PS: Further to this, of course, is the traditional method of rectification...confirming major events (seen in Rashi) through Vimsottari dasa system. This method has been used successfully by learned Pundit's from the beginning till now...it's tried and tested...but (again) gets overlooked by focusing on less traditional methods.
