Don't get personal please (New method for...)

[Guest guest]

Dear Kid,

 

These are all totally irrelevant and unnecessarily personal questions.

 

What matters to the list is that Raman Suprajarama presented a brilliant

synthesis made from two seemingly disjoint teachings of Varahamihira.

Varahamihira defined hora based on Sun and Moon as Parasara did and gave

another definition and said that some other people use it. The suggestion that

Varahamihira actually expected intelligent readers to combine both and derive a

new definition is simply brilliant. It may or may not be correct and his

understanding may still have errors. But the very idea is brilliant and opens

new possibilities. We should encourage such intelligent research that is rooted

in classics, instead of engaging in meaningless personal criticism.

 

I am not a blind supporter of Raman Suprajarama or anybody for that matter. You

may notice that I have an issue with a decision Raman Suprajarama made

regarding Cn and Le.

 

This kind of unprovoked personal attacks are totally uncalled for and will get

people off the list. Narayan, please take action against this person.

 

BTW, based on my private interactions with Raman Suprajarama, I find your claim

that he hasn't "studied a single classical astrological text" laughable. He is

quite learned, intelligent and humble and I look forward to more contributions

from him.

 

BTW, our monthly Full Moon Satya Narayana vratam is tomorrow (Thursday, 8/18) at

8 pm. Those who live near Boston and want to attend are most welcome to attend

and have prasadam for dinner. The ritual will take 2.5 hours.

 

May Jupiter's light shine on us,

Narasimha

> Dear Raman,> I find it difficult to reoncile with the praises showered on

you by some scholars of this list since I find something fishy in your

e-mails that trumpets about your rhetoric during Raman jayanthi..Though it is

not Kid's intention to take sides in family feud's, since he believes in the

adage "Blood is thicker than water "as a list member who takes note of your

mails, I would like to ask you certain questions > 1, Earlier you were giving

puzzles in this list.Now you have come up with the Hora technique of

deciphering one's financial position I know youhaven't studied a single

classical astrological text worth its name Is there any hidden agenda beyond

all these writings? I mean grooming yourself as the possible alternative or

successor of Mrs GDV ?> 2, Why was Mrs GDV assigned a comparitively

insignificant role of delivering welcome speech in Raman Jayanthi celebrations

?> 3, Did you consult your paternal aunt before mailing your findings about

Hora to the list ?> 4. What was the motive of senting mails about the paper

presented by you to several ?> 5Can you cite a classical authority

to validate your findings?Or can you illustrate your findings by applying it

to the chart of atleast 10 well-known personalities?> I hope the son of

Niranjan will show the courtesy to reply the questions for the sake of members

of this list> KID
