Guest guest Posted January 21, 2002 Report Share Posted January 21, 2002 Dear Arjuna-vallabha, Hare Krishna! And thank you for your comments. Truthfully, some of the information that you mentioned in response to questions 3 and 4 is new. It was good to learn them. I think you are right when you say that I was concentrating on the astronomical facts rather than giving out their astrological significances. I am not sure but I am afraid that even in response to question 4, I might have brought out all the astronomical facts pertaining to my chart but not their significances. I will certainly wait for comments from one of the Gurus. namaste, vishwa. >Arjuna-vallabha das <arjuna-vallabha >sjvc >sjvc <sjvc> >[Fwd: [sjvc] answers to lesson 1] >Mon, 21 Jan 2002 07:00:01 -0600 > >Hare Krishna, Vishwa. > >Welcome to the list. > >Instead i'm just a student, i would like to comment a couple of things. >Please, wait for the answer of some guru. > > >------- >"Vishwa Krishnamurthy" <vishwakasi >[sjvc] answers to lesson 1 >sjvc > > >My Doubts >=========== >I was always being told at home that the Uttarayana period begins during >the >time of Makara sankranthi when the Sun enters the zodiac sign of >Capricorn, >typically on the 14th of Jan.
