Complexity, Confusion, and Personal attacks

Dear Robert,

You missed the point.The dasa of the planets in the Vimsottari

scheme is fixed and not variable like the Rasi Dasa. The cyclic order of the

dasa is an inherent quality of all dasa irrespective of their type. Try

answering the question..What happens if the total of all the twelve rasi

dasa is lower than the longevity of the person? Now, we have to go into

another cycle.

Some astrologers of Bengal have advocated that the period of the

dasa for female charts should be calculated from the Lord of the sign to the

sign (Bannerjee et. al). This implies that another method of reckoning the

period of the dasa is 12 minus the period of the Dasa as normally

determined. I have not agreed with this also and have preferred the most

logical method of signs gained as taught traditionally. The 12 minus

previous period is for the second cycle only.

Just because the period of Sagittarius is Zero does not mean that it

is absurd. It only shows that the dasa of that sign will not show in the

first cycle, and if the longevity is lower than the total of all dasa in the

first cycle, then the dasa will not show up in the life. Even in Vimsottari,

many Dasa do not show up in one's life. In any case, can you tell me as to

what reasons Mr Rao has given to say why Sagittarius cannot be Zero if

Jupiter is in Capricorn? Mr Rao's Chara dasa is also going to be incorrect/

different from Parasara if you consider periods as per his New Method.

 

I don't blame Mr Rao as he has clearly given that this is his

original research and not the final word as yet. In fact I give him credit

for honestly opening his mind. How many of us can do that. Have you seen his

version of Mandook dasa? Actually the Dasa outlined in his book is the same

as "RASI DASA" outlined by Parasara whereas the REAL Mandooka Dasa is quite

different. In fact Mr Rao has differed with the authorities in almost all

the dasa systems. Please see this for yourself. If you want I can give the

relevant sloka. Mandooka gati or the movement of the Frog is defined as

jumping to the third sign whereas Mr Rao uses the Jumping of the dasa to the

fourth sign. Can you tell us what Mr Rao explained as the basis of this

deviation? I shall be grateful for an insight into his thoughts. Please try

the Narayana Dasa for yourself and see the accuracy. A series of articles

explaining the Narayana Dasa will be published in the Express Starteller

Magazine from June 1999 onwards.

 

Best Wishes,

Sanjay Rath
