Guest guest Posted July 15, 2005 Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 ||om paramagurave namah|| Dear Pradeep, namaste Sorry to butt into this debate between you and Narasimha. A few points: (1) There are other quotes in BPHS that might indicate the use of houses in vargas but Narasimha has cited a strong candidate. Of course this is subject to the inductive logic that one uses when reading BPHS. Do not ask me for these quotes as your questions forced me to search for it...therefore in the same way you must find them yourself. (2) I agree with Narasimha that some of the words you used are not conducive to a balanced and rational discussion. Even if you had not intended that these words should convey the meaning as commonly understood. For example, you used the word 'frustrated' in the below email. Such words casting or reflective of a biased thinking should not be there in any debate. (3)Your arguments are something similar to Don Quixote with the difference that you sit on your horse and argue that someone else ought to charge at the windmills! This is totally against the accepted norms of scholarly debate and the onus is on you to prove your stand in the same way that Narasimha has done. I have been following your emails from the beginning and there are very few instances/examples to validate your thinking. (4) The proof of pudding is in the timing of events as far as Jyotisa is concerned. Using your approach, can you demonstrate that it yields a more consistent and reproducible results when timing the events? I have done some studies on siddhamsa and my experience is that when treating the siddhamsa as a chart, it is very accurate as far as the timing of events is concerned. (5) Taking the siddhamsa as a specific example, can you please explain how to analyse it using your approach? How to analyse the siddhamsa vargas within the kshetra? (6) I am fascinated by your illustration of the word 'kshetra'. While acknowledging that it does refer to body, I am puzzled by your rigid stand on this word...why is it that kshetra must refer to the body only and not parts of the body? Why cant the heart be referred to as kshetra when studying it as an independent unit? Ditto for the liver, spleen etc. Your rigid stand on this word implies that the equivalence of macro-cosmos = micro-cosmos or brahmanda = pindanda is not valid here in the context of vargas. Or in other words, there is no link between phenomena happening at the micro level scalable to the macro-level. best regards Hari PS: I changed the subject of this email string. vedic astrology, "vijayadas_pradeep" <vijayadas_pradeep> wrote: > Dear Narasimha ji > > Though we consider works from other sages,as far as i know,Parashara > muni and his works are accepeted by majority as a standard guideline. > Then i have already mentioned that scholars prior to the ones you have > said,did not use houses in navamsha though they used navamsha. > For example if lagna lord has a navamsha of 9th lord,then they > referred to it as bhagya navamsha. > Also we need not not assume that only the well known and the ones who > have got their works pulished as having tradition and knowledge. > There were many who did not use houses as it is not possile.Thus i did > not make any blunt view and there is no need for you to get frustrated. > > Regarding your shloka w.r to Raja yoga- Late Shri Santhanam had > already expressed his concern. > He said he cannot imagine aspects in vargas,and is a first step > towards my point.Late Shri Subbu Rao also had expressed concerns over > using bhavas. > Also the shloka, as you had explained in the past, is - the same > planet ''joining'' or aspecting shadvargas of Lagna(i think it is not > divisional ''charts''). > Thus i will say ,for example if shukra is the planet ,then shukra has > to aspect or be placed in the six vargas of Lagna. > Thus if shukra is aspecting or placed in the kshethra of lagna > ((aspects(graha) emanate by longitudinal degress according to > parashara)) and is occupying the other 5 vargas ,then there is no > ambiguity. > We derive navamsha from position in rashi chakra,but while analysis we > want to take them to a different plane!!!! > > Aspects on navamsha of lagna - is to see the root sign containing > lagna navamsha and seeing the aspects there. > Aspects on Karakamsha lagna too is similar.Thus 12th from karakamsha > has to be seen from rashi chakra for the same reason. > Rule for aspects given by sage is clear and can happen only in rashi > chakra. > In vargas we are arranging the signs and they are not as in real > order.Planets position in the heaven cannot be changed. > When we see navamsha we are again looking at the same position,but > from a closer angle.It is not difficult to understand this. > > If you have not understood my concerns written in the past,i have no > more knowledge to convey. > > Respect > Pradeep > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 15, 2005 Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 ear Hari Thanks for your mail. Point number 1 - if you share the shlokas,we can discuss. 2)I am sorry to say that you have failed to see arrogant and sarcastic questions from shri Narasimha like ''Who are you'' - ''Are you the authority'' etc.Is that a bias from you.Did i say i am some one or i am the authority.I used ''Raw'' as,other scholars prior to the said scholars,have not used bhavas.Thus i too can express my strong views,though not a scholar,when supported by rational.Strong concerns are only on certain points.''Who are you'' kind of questions can only come out of frustration.If we do not have mutual respect,no matter how learned we are ,how do we debate.Though frustration is not a bad word,considering your advise i can be more careful. 3)I go by, parashara,evident shlokas and works of scholars from yesteryears and my own discretion.Proposers of new theory have to give evidence.I can only give inconsistencies,which I have given in multiples.So have Scholars. 4)We have seen shri Narsimha wonderfully explaining, Pope Ratzinger (even Brahma lokamsha) with a wrong chart.Thus let us not talk about proof and pudding.First verify possibilty,then analysis.Not degrading the scholar in Narasimha,but pointing the pitfalls. 5)If i do not know something ,i wait and persevere.I do not want to go for fast conclusions.Jyotish takes janmas to understand.We cannot explain everything in jyotish by putting bhava,especially when not sanctioned. 6)I never said Kshethra is for Body.Kshethra of a planet infact is referring to a limb.All the kshethras together constitute body.Rashi chakra and Bhavas together become the system.All the shlokas from parashara refer to bhavas in rashi chakra.Vargas including Kshethra refers to individual matters.

Guest guest Posted July 15, 2005 Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 ||om brihaspataye namah|| Dear Pradeep, Thanks for your reply. I have seen the other mails concerning this debate and it is my judgement that this debate is inconsistent. I just would like to respectfully state that I had no perceived bias when writing point 2.
