Dear Anil,

>started using Chitra pakshiya Aynamsha which are used by Lahiri.

 

Citra paksha ayanamsa is not used since olden days, it is an established

ayanamsa of only some 50-60 years. So what the astrologers in olden days

used is practically unknown to us. There is nowhere some specific

reference to it. In his book Mysteries of the Sacred Universe, Mr.

Thompson mentions that in the olden days the star Revati was used as a

reference to the starting point of the zodiac. Why after all Chitra would

have to be used? It is not situated on the zodiac exactly, and if

visibility is a matter, than why not Magha? Magha is very visible, and is

situated exactly on the zodiac, so why not use this star? I have done some

experiment with this one, and found an ayanamsa of 47'05" less than Lahiri

as accurate. Interesting, it is more or less the same value as Chandra

Hari, except it is less, not more than Lahiri.

 

Yours,

Dear Dhira Krsna ji,

 

This issue has been discussed no of times. Leave all the theoretical analysis,

Lahiri Ayanamsha has given very accurate and consistent results. As Shri

Narsimharao ji has mentioned in one of the posting , doing a post facto

analysis is simple but being able to predict accurately by using any theory or

any new ayanamsha is difficult. Unless you hypothesis is proved against time ,

people would continue to use Lahiri Ayanamsha.

 

Regards,

 

Anil
