Classics and Nodes (gbp_kumar@ etc...)1/4

[Guest guest]

Hi RR,

 

I hope this is the way we refer to any work, a work become classic if they

still remain relevant?

Plus BPHS as scripted by parashara is the 1st known book on Jyothisyha just

like Ramayana the 1st ever written epic/classic.

 

Brihat Jataka can be also called a classic but can also fall under the

Compendium label if label is the issue here.

as BJ brings in what several streams, and astrologers before Varahamihra had

had.

there is a BPHS translated by Madura krishnamurthy shastry of Rajamundry

[near Ram Mandiram, Krishna nagar] who has in similar lines just brings the

different versions of BPHS in one place/book

he has done several such translations and his Ayanamsa is like TARUNS 2deg 3

min 25 sec ahead of Lahiri.

 

I liked yr reply 1st time on the Nodes u sent an hr or so ago, at least could

make rahu and ketu of it [head or tail]

 

so please confirm if my definition of a classic is wrong? I am not as well

read or experienced just some 25 odd yrs in this and STILL LEARNING.

Do you consider Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra and Brihatjataka (some

spell it as Brihajjataka) by Parashara and Varahamihira as "jyotish"

classics?

Prashant,

 

You are asking the wrong person! "Classic" to this individual is just

a moving duck. What is classics to us may not have seemed the same to

Balabhadra who in 16th century had a different perspective of what

came earlier! Same applied to Kalidasa or other earlier writers.

 

As I understand it, Jyotish came to us mortals through possibly

several modalities

 

Revealed through direct transmission, channeling etc

 

Empirical and observation-based examination through a combination of

downloaded vidya and some of it eventually tested -- no workbooks

preserved, though!

 

Tested and mostly so in recent years (1800+). The Rao and Raman

Gharana had been most vocal in disseminating this information and

hence deserve our gratitude and pranaams even to the chagrin of some

others who might think that they had a better story to tell, if only

they were born a few decades earlier or could get interested in

astrology sooner! As they say in astrological parlance -- TIMING is

everything! ;-)

 

The label what is "Classic" and what is not has been a big deal for a

lot of individuals, more so lately and they may try to use emotion-

charged language to somehow highlight and deify what is ancient and

what they consider classical and the rest that is not, but just

because someone is old does not automatically make it more authentic

and must be carefully examined.

 

I shall not qualify further or raise any rabble on this matter at

this time! I have written on this and related matters earlier.

 

Arguably, there would be many different views about the authenticity

of classics or for that matter, discussions about the horoscopes of

mythical figures born thousands of years earlier. As a practicing

astrologer and active participant of similar fora who has

seen 'interesting' variant opinions on birthcharts of individuals

born only a few decades within where we are now and some of these

data provided by astrologers, young and old and some psychics even --

a horoscope of even a revered God, particularly a GOD born thousands

of years ago hardly, I repeat HARDLY represents valid DATA for making

astrology's premise stick in any temporal context!

 

Is Rama or Krishna, Hanumaan or Shiva or Vishnu higher than the

planets and astrology or are we getting too confused?
