kp-a few thoughts

[Guest guest]

Hi list,

Though most of the people misunderstood kp as systems approach, a few had

actually posted the difference between kp & vedic astrology. I learnt kp basics

last year, so I thought of sharing my thoughts with u all. As someone had

mentioned, it uses placidus system of house division, kp ayanamsa, & stellar

aspects. But I never used kp ayanamsa, & seldom used stellar aspects, still got

the results. I always used lahiri ayanamsa .The beauty of the system lies in

ruling planets & significations in terms of houses. For eg. If a planet

signifies 9th & 5th house, , it will not b considered good for career. Though

it may b considered good for higher studies. kp can be best utilized for

horary cases, since u know the accurate time of asking questions.

Particularly for yes/ no questions, kp is certainly the best. In simpler cases

u need not to even cast the chart, ruling planets can tell u a lot. Here I

would say, whatever prof. krishnamurty has written in his books is not the

final word, there is scope of rectification & research in this area. most of

the people try to learn kp from books which is not at all easy, especially when

the books lack clarity & brevity.

I feel that kp is nothing but a refined branch of vedic astrology , after all

dividing nakshtra in vimshottari proportions cannot be a non vedic technique.

Some even believe that it is taken from nadi shastras by prof krisnamurty. How

to correlate to other udu dasas , how we can develop a holistic methodology r

some of the questions which form area of future research.

Though I m not so sound in kp, but once I had tried to time my friend’s

arrival as an exercise , & results were accurate upto mintues.

So, kp is not just an imagination or fool’s exercise, but an important

predictive technique which its founder tried to develop as a system. I don’t

think people can wholly rely on kp for making predictions but It can make

wonders if used as a subsidiary technique.

>From its books , I got this impression that people have rather misused this

accurate technique for predicting quantitative non-essential matter. Predicting

no. of sticks in matchbox, no. of letters to b received on a particular day etc

... perhaps one should first understand meaning & purpose of astrology .

once I had listened to osho‘s discourse on astrology(“mein kehta akhan dekhi”),

he talked about 3 divisions essential, semi-essential, essential area of

predictive astrology. Normally people want to know when will they die Has

anyone ever asked whether he will be happy or sad while departing this world?

just think, does it really matter if u become aware of exact time , what

about its qualitative aspect? What matters is the life u led was of any use to

any one or not….

Anyway, misuse is something which is common to every useful technique, kp or

vedic ;What ever we want to predict, whatever technique we use, the essence &

purpose of astrology is spiritual & will always remain spiritual.

I m neither a kp expert, nor a member of any kp group, not even osho’s disciple;

what I wrote r my personal thoughts and experiences as a student of this divine

science.
