Jyotish Software Survey

A large group like this is a perfect place for a survey like this.

It is a shame that in general only about 20 people out of the large

number of listed members respond here (4-5 when it comes to

quizes!). The sheer amount of untapped resources and thoughts due to

non-participation is mind-boggling, but I suppose not all can be as

interested, passionate and participatory in matters astrological,

particularly technical as we would want them to!

 

So how about a very neutral, non-threatening topic like this? Please

respond to these simple questions:

 

a) Which jyotish software do you regularly use?

b) How long have you used it for?

c) In the last 5-7 years what other jyotish software have you used?

d) What is the best feature you like in your current software?

e) Name ONE feature or option you would like to be added or improved

in your software.

 

In my case, I have been using Parashara's Light for the last many

(>6) years. Before that I gave Goravani's (1.89 and 1.92) a try. I

have also tried PC Jyotish, Visual Jyotish, a couple of other

insignficant packages whose names I forget and a few demo versions.

My first computer software (what a paradigm shift that was decades

ago from paper and pencil, ephemeris and table of prop. logs way of

doing it!).

The best feature I like in PL is its complex but flexible screen

workship that can be customized readily. I absolutely hate its file-

manager particularly in the version 6.0 and I would love to have a

three level custom search selection (using its yoga codes) to

replace the nearly ineffective, rickety, marasmic search option that

currently exists.

 

*** Your turn now, folks, ***

Thanks for your addition.

 

Parashara's Light has that. I recall goravani also did. The problem

with some of the exotic ones like nadiamsha, shastiamsha and even

akshayvedamsha is that birth times are not accurate enough to make

those really useful and also not a lot is known about the finer

amshas. But very fertile field for research, I agree. Also the

variant amshas such as drekkana, hora, trishamsha etc which can be

calculated in many different ways.

Greetings to all:

 

I have just gotten into jyotish less than a year ago. I did a great

deal of research on the available software titles. It was a

toss up between Goravani Jyotish and Parashara's Light 6.0.

 

I went with PL. It has a lot of features (more than any other

title).

 

However, it also has plenty of calculation flaws. From the very first

day, I saw problems. Initially, the company was very helpful in

correcting the problems. However, as I used more and more of the

available functionalities, more and more problems arose. Now they

dont even respond to my requests for fixes (last set of problems

identified were back in December 2003). The last update on their

website is end of October 2003.

 

I have also used the trial versions of Goravani, Shri Jyoti Star and

JH Lite.

 

Goravani is probably the nicest in presentation, but lacks a lot of

the functionality of PL (whether or not the calculations are accurate,

I don't know).

 

Shri Jyoti Star seems a bit cumbersome and the results dont match what

I get with PL -- the placements of planets, etc. seem off.

 

The free version of JL Lite has a nice presentation and some nice

features for a free title. But, it has nothing close to features

relative to PL. The placement of Mars relative to what I see in PL is

somewhat different.

 

It is hard to know the accuracy of the calculations from the demo

versions, especially when you cannot compare them side by side (due to

the limitations of the demos).

 

The one feature I would like to see added to PL (besides having the

calculation flaws fixed) is the displaying of special lagnas (GL, HL,

etc.) and arudha padas along with the planets (similar to JH Lite).

 

Best Wishes,

Shirish

Shirish,

 

Thanks. Calculation flaws have bugged all software for a long time

and can be quite frustrating. Could you elaborate a bit more on the

calculation flaws you have found in Parashara's Light (a list would

be nice)? This would help people steer away from those areas or at

least to be aware of the same, particularly if they do not use those

areas or options of the software.

 

Thanks

Greetings:

 

I shall review my emails to PL and compile a list in the next couple

of days. Some that come to mind include:

 

1. When you look at special lagnas (GL, HL, etc) in divisional

charts, the displayed information is related to the natal chart (even

though the header indicates the divisional chart).

 

2. The bhava bal scores of houses of various divisional charts are

the same (e.g., bhava bal values of all houses - not signs - are the

same - draw a basic chart of D20 and D27 and look at the values of the

houses, they are identical - on most divsional charts).

 

3. Certain values in the planetary info window are always that of the

natal chart - regardless of the divisional chart used (e.g., shad bal,

ishta/kasht, rays) - now my understanding is limited, but I thought

the values would change with the divisional chart.

 

4. Planetary info is that of the natal chart, for the special lagna

chart (e.g., whether it is from the ascendant or the sun ascendant,

the lordships, dignity, etc. of the planets is that of the natal

chart).

 

As, I said, I shall review my past emails to PL and post the others

also in a couple of days. I am doing this from memory and apologize

in advance if I have given wrong information.

Shirish,

 

Even if someone tells you otherwise forcefully or otherwise, bright,

vigilent people like you are as rare as Kohinoor on the jyotish

scene that I have witnessed for the last 40 years! And people like

you will understandably be hi-jacked, captured (enticed wilfully or

not) to other lists, just as Kohinoor was and still IS to the

chagrin of conservative Indians/Pakistanis <smile>!

 

I will wait patiently for your list before responding to what you

reported as calculation errors in PL version 6. I may have my

failings but impatience in matters astrological have never been in a

big way.

 

No wonder some individuals have often mistaken me here and elsewhere

almost intuitively (a very feminine quality, stereotypically

speaking!) it seems, for being a woman! :-)

Rohini Jee,

 

By the way you could use the POLL feature of the list for this

purpose, then it would be very convenient for you to get all the

result under same view, total result, % etc :-)

~ Om Namah Shivaya ~

Here is my data

 

a) Which jyotish software do you regularly use? - JHL

5.1 and PL 2000

b) How long have you used it for? PL 2000 (2 years),

JHL 5.1 (one year)

c) In the last 5-7 years what other jyotish software

have you used? (Kundli Pro)

d) What is the best feature you like in your current

software? - Presently using JHL 5.1 and it gives

accurate calculations, wide range of options and the

best is part is variety of dashas.

e) Name ONE feature or option you would like to be

added or improved in your software. - Would love to

get JHL commercial version and then would like to

answer this question.

Greetings Rohiniji:

 

Thank you for the kind words.

 

As promised, I have reviewed my emails to Parashara's Light for help

with problems. The following are excerpts from the emails that I was

able to locate:

 

********************************************************

Sree Lagna Dasha

"My Sree lagna is in Leo, so this dasha for rashi chart should start

in Leo. However, everytime I open my chart (or any other chart) the

dasha periods change, sometimes drastically. Even when the dasha

begins with Leo, when I click on to expand the antardashas or move the

time frame, the starting point changes to Aries. Other times, the

starting point is in 1931".

 

Alternate Lagnas (Jaimini)

"I have noticed that when I display the Alternate Lagnas (under

Jaimini in the Tables column) in any chart, the displayed information

is for the rashi chart (even though the title bar references the

appropriate divisional chart)".

 

Tutorials

"I have noted that while using the tutorial function, several lessons

are either missing content or the content just cuts off in the middle

of the lesson".

 

Progression (Fixed by PL)

"It has been several weeks since I asked for help with straightening

out my progression charts. All my charts were off by 1 year. Over

the last several weeks you have had me remove certain files and that

has addressed other problems that I have had. However, my progression

charts are still off by 1 year".

 

Bhava Bal

"The bhava bal values displayed for some charts are the same: I have

compared the bhava bal values for various houses in D10, D4, Hora

(Iyer), etc. The values for same house number are the same. That is

to say the bhava bal for each house is identical in these charts. I

have not reviewed all the charts, but the few that I did look at, the

values are the same".

 

Planetary Info

"When looking at the planetary information under the Special Charts

column; all planetary information is for the natal chart and planetary

info for bhava chart is the same as the birth chart (even when

planetary positions change) with regard to sign placement and dignity.

I have not looked at all the special charts".

 

*****************************************************

 

Hope this helps those who use PL. I have not examined all facets of

this software. If others have issues or problems they have

identified, I would be interested in hearing about them.

 

Your comments will be most appreciated.

 

Best Wishes,

Shirish

Thanks -- now we have a more specific idea about which areas of

miscalculation you were talking about! Hasty implementation of some

of the new research by programmers for competitive reasons would be

my guess in these instances!

~ Om Namah Shivaya ~

 

I have also heard from some other users regarding

calculations problems in PL 6. I guess it is because

the people who are developing the software don't have

Astrological knowledge, so counter checking is not

there. Guess development team is just given

mathematical formulaes and while co-relating different

modules, an error results.

 

Till now, for accurate calculations JHL (Free Version)

is good for me. I am strongly looking to buy the

commercial version, whenever it will be in reach of my

pocket.

Just a note of caution when making statements that question accuracy

of any software. Many of the factors noted here are neither

mainstream jyotish nor used by most individuals. Often I have seen

errors in these less common but added anyway for competition's sake

that do not get tested and depend upon user feedback. Given the

small user base for the commercial software and the types of errors

that used to crop up in basic calculations even a few years ago,

most software have come ahead quite far.

 

Given that, one must never let go of caution as these software

packages are still unwieldy and do not have smooth interfaces.

Errors can arise due to many reasons and may go unnoticed until a

time-bomb goes off somewhere. And the problems get addressed in a

random manner, it seems!

 

We got to work with what we have, but with caution, particularly if

it is one of the exotic, new research/logic based features, such as

the varga bhava bala in the list given here.
