Guest guest Posted October 1, 2001 Report Share Posted October 1, 2001 Dear MsE, Please see answers in red… This terminology you have listed below is basic to the study of all vedic astrology, so you will need to become very familiar with these terms in order to understand Krushna’s system. A good beginner book that covers much of these vedic idioms, in real clear English, is James T. Braha’s book, Ancient Hindu Astrology for the Modern Western Astrologer. Without a clear grasp and understanding of this terminology, you will be completely lost…L…Hope this helps you somewhat… ~Namaste~ Sandy http://www.jupitersweb.com/ Dear Krushna and List: Well, I already know I am far behind , (bluntly speaking) I'm lost but trying. After reading the preface and lesson 1 I realize I need some help on terminology. I printed the entire (Yes every chart, lesson and extra) in the file cabinet and now have a very nice Binder.

Guest guest Posted October 2, 2001 Report Share Posted October 2, 2001 Hello mserotic, I think that for embarking on this course yoiu need basic knowledge of Jyotish or Indian astrolgoy. Try to read a good book on it. Frawley's "The astrology of the seers" could be a good start. If you are a western I wouldn't start with an Indian classic, this would be too difficult to grasp in the beginning. You have to know the basic meaning of certain terms and laws of astrology. Perhaps you can also find a website were they help beginners along.

Please someone walk me through that I realize it is a key factor (and the primary reason for lesson 1) but I don't see where the 5 came from. Based on the Bhinnashtakavarga of this particular Male Chart, the 5 is the point value (bindus) contributed to the Sun in the 12th. 1.Go to page 12.

Guest guest Posted October 2, 2001 Report Share Posted October 2, 2001 Dear MsE, Here are the meaning of the 2 terms that you have left with a question mark. Raddi : In India, this is a kinda way of Garbage (mainly news papers or glass bottles etc) disposal collect wherein a house hold collects news papers, bags etc.. and then goes and disposes or sell them. This is called Raddi or Garbage. Sometimes the Raddiwalla (meaning the dealer who collets the papers or news papers) weighs them and accordinly compensates them. Raddi would mean Garbage or papers or leftovers. Kabadi : means the person who collects or accepts the raddi for a price. Hope that clarifies. This is not a sanskrit terminology but more of a local lingua used in Hindi, Marathi, Gujarati languages that I know of. I do not know if a similar term is used in other languages of India.

Guest guest Posted April 25, 2002 Report Share Posted April 25, 2002 Guruji, Thanks for such wonderful lessons!!!I will be able to post all answers from lesson 2,3,4 within 2 days. Please find my answers to assignment.for Lesson1 ques1.Reg change of seasons .....: ans 1.The earth rotates on its own axis in 24 hrs.Along with this rotation, it also relolves around the sun in 1 year or 365.2422 days. This span of time is the tropical year.The path of earth around the sun appears to us as the Suns path around the earth,and is called epliptic.The equator runs through middle of the earth in an east west direction and divides the earth into a northern and southern atmosphere.The epliptic ,in the apparent east west direction is obliquely placed to it.Half of the suns path thus lies to the north of the equator and half to the south . The sun thus happens to cross the equator twice a year,giving rise to 2 equinoxes-The vernal equinox around 21 march (sun in northerly course) and autumnal equinox around 23 sept (sun on southerly course). The epliptic is inclined to the equator at an angle of 23.28' it crosses the equator at 2 points-vernal and autumnal equinox and on these 2 occasions the days and nights are equal all over the globe.The sun is vertically above the equator at this time.The inclination of the Sun at these occasions is zero. After vernal equinox ,the sun progressively attains northerly declination until it reaches a maximum of 23 28'at winter solistice around 22nd december. .The northern hemisphere experiences the shortest day and longer night on this occasion.The reverse is true for southern hemisphere. The oblaquity of the epliptic to the equator thus results in formation and change of seasons. When its winter in northern hemisphere,it is summer in southern and vice versa. Note :Not all planets have the same kind of tilt as Earth has..URANUS (the outer planet...not considered in vedic astrology)..for example has a tilt of almost 98 deg.Its axis then lies almost on the plane of its orbit,and a day there lasts about as much as one year on Uranus:about 84 earth years. ques2.There are ......explain the phenomenon..... ans2. This can be attributed to the shape of the earth and its rotation around its axis and also the movement of the sun in anticlockwise direction with respect to the earth . When Earth is closer to Winter or the Summer solstice -extreme points on the elliptical orbit of earth around the sun), then the poles are either below or above the ecliptic by more than 18deg , and this causes no sun rise or sunset. ques 3. Parasara......the moving and non-moving ones. difference between their roles ....astrological interpretation. ans3 . Among the 2 classes of heavenly bodies ,the moving heavenly bodies are the grahas & upa- grahas and the non-moving heavenly bodies are Nakshatras. So, the nakshatra can be seen as fixed points on a background against which the grahas move/traverse.The difference between their roles in astrological interpretation is as follows:: 1.As per the literal meaning naksha means map and each nakshatra has a unique character and will influence any graha placed in it. To understand how the significance will manifest in ones life,its important to know the nakshatra it occupies.The description of the qualities of the nakshatra in which the moon is placed in is given lots of importance as it provides a small sketch about ones nature. 2.Planets represent the incarnations of lord Vishnu and they represent different people that play a role in ones life...Nakshatras are the 27 fixed points/stars/lunar asterism for the lunar cycle ruled by the nine grahas .The position of the moon at birth in these nakshatras or stars determines the dasha period to start first. ques4 construct your own chart, and explain as many astronomical principles -(terrestrial latitude/longitude, season, Sun's cycle, Sunrise/Sunset etc..Determine which planets are above and under the horizon in your chart. In which Ayana the Sun is? ans4. Date of Birth: 19 Jan1973 Time of Birth: 7:55:00 am Time Zone of Birth: 5:30 East of GMT Longitude of Birth : 81 E 59 Latitude of Birth: 25 N 34 Lunar month (maasa): Pausha Lunar day (tithi): Sukla Ekadasi Sunrise 6.50:00 Sunset 17:30:00 Ayansha 23-29-7 Sun's position(tropics) uttarayan Suns position (hemisphere) : South Tithi at sunrise : Krishna Pratipada Nakshatra at birth : Pushya Vara(Weekday) Friday Yoga at birth: Priti Karana at birth: Balava Dasha at birth : Saturn-Venus-Venus Balance of dasha Saturn 12 y 1m 5 d Season was Shishir. The planets above the horizon in my chart are Sun,Venus,Jupiter,Mercury and Mars,Rahuand Moon(since moons longitude is < ascendant) whereas saturn ketu and are below the horizon. Please let me know if I have made any mistakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
