[Jagannath] Lunar parallax

[Guest guest]

OM KRISHNA GURU OM

Dear Gauranga & all,

All telescopes measure the apparant positions of the planets (except

radio telescopes). Thus if the Jantar mantar of Delhi made apparant

observations it does not mean that these RAW DATA were used by the seers.

They were well aware of the apparant positions and the corrections

necessary. Take a look at the Surya Siddhanta where Arya Bhatta had taken

for granted that everybody knew that the world was round, yet this was

discovered by Europe many centuries later!

Do not get diverted and swayed by the discussions on the apparant Moon

in another list. Lack of faith is the cause of doubts that diverts the mind

from real learning. This is the way of Maya. After all , these discussions

are totaly meaningless as the Ayanamsa itself has not been finalised. Then

there are some astrologers who say they get better results using the Lunar

Parallax correction?!! I wonder if they have fully learnt Jyotish. After

all, till recently when I showed the use of the Sun, Moon & Lagna for

Vimsottari Dasa finer analysis in addition to what has been taught by Dr

Raman, how many knew it? There is much more to the beautiful Vimsottari

dasa. My point is learn the tools and then attempt to tamper with them.

Inspite of so many years into Jyotish, I have NEVER commented on the

value of the Ayanamsa in Public. Some self constraint is called for in the

part of the more advanced astrologers so that we may all move forward. I

hope that this message is received in the right spirit.

Om Tat Sat

Best Wishes

Sanjay Rath

as my understanding goes we should always take the apparent positions of the

planets into consideration, as Jyotish is a code system which describes the

events for the observer on the earth. Take for example the Jantar Mantar of

Jai Singh in Jaipur. All the yantras there are able to locate the visible

(i.e. apparent) planetary positions in the sky. All the 7 planets are

actually visible with the naked eye, so as the stars in the Naksatras.

Therefore the ancient astronomers did not use telescopes as far as I know.
