Guest guest Posted April 23, 2003 Report Share Posted April 23, 2003 dear friends, I am happy to see discussion initiated by young Puneet pandey about " whether KP is Vedic". Responses from learned members are enlightening.I place a few observation.1 Vedic Astrology has emaneted from Vedas and coordinates adopted are basically soli lunar and constellation are predominats. Exposition By Graet Parasher and Jamini are inclusive of basics.The first known researcher of our time in vedic astrology the late sh. H.R.Seshadri Iyer in all humility has held that that revelation of hidden truth is attempted and only a novel line of approach is possible.I agree with him.Whatever research we are seeing is nothing but these are efforts which were hidden in tradition and were closly guarded, that have been explained. Some of the authors are very intelligent They put forward simple theories in complex ways mixing spritual jargon. The real taste of pudding is its eating.I have been silently interacting all known theories circulated in last 34 years and have amply experimanted many of them, like Syatem Analysis. KP.And many others.Before any system is condemned it shold be given fair trial.To my mind SA and KP are subsets of Vedic astrology.They are useful but every system has limitation.SA has limitation since it concentrats on short term search of solution of human problems and starategy to influence client .KP is superb equally effective like traditional prasna if properly handeled.Reasons of KP going in disuse are many.Some are 1. Lack of research to update ayanamsa value w.r.t two values adopted in time of Master one based on New Combs Formula and other floated by Sh. R.E.Manu.2. Tedious calculation of House cusp for which no software has been written which can furnish accurate cusps of houses.Even Goravani Leo and astro-kundali does not stand to test.Kala is yet to develop module for it .Demo of Shri jyotish as well as some others i could lay hand are far from accuracy.3. No forum is available for interaction and no regular Magazine now a days. To conclude I put before a simple question Could you make astrology to work honestly for u and ur frieds.Forget justifying events after they have occured and those prediction which came correct by chance u made before event. Set Apart economical angle of modern days. If it works well for u it is a blessing. I know it works for some very accurately but they donot disclose there methods.So still much is needed.Hope my this message will stir thinking in direction leading u toward light.With best wishes to all members on list and with apologies if any part of my thinking is hurtful to any one.RCS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
