Guest guest Posted December 18, 2003 Report Share Posted December 18, 2003 Dear readers, A view-point only. I felt that some scholars have been hurt when I used the word "Jaimini System" in a recent post beacause they do not want to differentiate between Parashara and Jaimini. I have also been instructed to read BPHS more carefully. Parashara has devoted a large number of chapters where Karakatwas, aspects, D-charts, results of planets and bhavas etc etc have been mentioned and by the time one gets acquinted to them, he exposes the sign aspects, karakamsha, upapada, arudhas etc etc. Most of the scholars use planetary aspects, fixed karakas, use D-chats and follow Vimshottari dasha etc.. but do not simultaneously recognise sign aspects, chara karakas, chara dasha etc. Those of them may be called following Parasharic way of delineations. Maharshi Jaimini picked up the other set of parameters and developed on it which may be called "The Jaimini system of astrology" even though the origin of Jaimini principles could belong to Maharshi Parashara. Jaimini wrote his work in the form of sutras, perhaps it was his way of writing (please do not question it) ! This is the way I view both the works. I think that an un-necessary fuss is not required to discuss whether Jaimini astrology belongs to Jaimini or Parashara. There are many important things to remark rather than tangling on this issue. I hope, my view-point is clear on this point. In case, if my views (so far given) as reply to various posts are not admissible to this elite group, I would not mind withdrawing myself, thus avoiding hurt to anybody. Your feedback is solicited.
