Namaste ,

Narasimha ( et. al)

thank you for your repsonse...yes I am keen on the importance

Of the weekday and its lord. It was magnified by Tithi Pravesh.

 

I mention this and refer back to Sanjay's note that is quite possible

to determine the day of the week by one's spiritually advanced

abilities. This is not unusual to hear, for clarity comes to one

that is enlightened ( Ritam will enighten those that touch it).

 

Your comments are very insightful... thank you.

Dear Narasimha,

 

That was a very interesting message. I've a basic doubt -- how does one

time the event of joining a company? Is it the time one enters the

office premises, the time one signs some official document, or when one

are allotted your desk/computer/phone/chair etc. :) This question has

been bothering me for a long time.

 

regards,

Krishna.

A related question that has been bothering me a long time is: When does a

college or university begin, when a group of founders meet and agree on

starting a college, or when the first teaching begins?

Larry,

 

Ask yourself these questions:

 

1. When is a baby born? When its parents begin its manufacture (not the right

word, I guess) or when it finally gets born?

2. When you go out and buy a car, which time is to be considered for its

auspiciousness? The time the car designers huddled around to conceive it, or

when the manufacture is completed, or when it lands in the showroom, or when

you actually pay the bucks for it?

3. When does a guy die? When his breath begin to fail him, or when he's born, or

when his parents meet to you-know-what, or when the bloke has breathed his last?

 

Most likely you'll have guessed the answer to your query by now.

 

Warm regards,

 

Ramapriya

Dear Ramapriya,

 

Isn't there a simpler answer to this question? As far as your example is

concerned, there is enough controversy about determining the correct

birth time.

 

 

regards,

Krishna.

Dear Krishna,

 

Having devised the notion of "statutory time" in interpreting cricket law, which

notion I must confess has caught the delight and fancy of many a veteran umpire,

I don't think I could've actually replied Larry any more tenuously. But now that

you've dragged me into it...

 

Consider a non-astrological example: A shoots B on August 1, B dies after three

months on life support on November 1, and A is convicted of murder the

following May 1. When did the murder occur?

 

**** On May 1, when it is adjudged to be a murder, and we can safely call A a

murderer without being subjected to a libel action? This corresponds to the

opinion of those who consider the time of the wide as after the ball passes the

bowling crease and the Umpire judges it wide. Those who would say the murder

occurred on May 1 have corrupted "presumed innocent until proven guilty" into

"innocent until proven guilty".

 

**** On November 1, when all the conditions have been satisfied that determine

the crime of murder, because of the death of the victim? This corresponds to

the contention that a wide occurs when the evidence that it is a wide is

complete, when the ball actually passes out of the reach of the Batsman.

 

**** On August 1, when the shooting occurred? This corresponds to my implied

answer to Larry that a college comes into being when instituted as a, well,

institute. Simply put, at the time of its inauguration or whatever.

 

Now I don't know what the (criminal) law says about when the murder occurred,

but it is not absurd if it deems that the murder took place on August 1. I may

be wrong in saying that the college comes into being at the instant of the

inauguration, but I sincerely believe I'm not being absurd.

 

Sorry Krishna, but I can't give a simpler explanation :)

 

Warm regards,

 

Ramapriya
