RE: A controversial article on vedic astrology...[2 cents, challenges]

[Guest guest]

Decades ago, a distinguished person used to lure me in a game of

chess and beat me convincingly. He would lead me in a trap, pitfall

and a swindle with a straight face. Only the twinkle in his eyes

would at times reveal the trap. It was a great learning process

though for a beginner. Now much later in the journey of life,

innocuous phrases like, `'math challenged" and "hindi not my first

language" are once again leading me in such openings. My opening and

middle game much better now though. I should be able to skirt around

these. Still a great learning process though!

The fact remains that the very basis of Jyotish , the ayanamsha which

decides the values remains unresolved.

The fact also remains that most of the commonly used Ayanamshas

revolve around plus minus 3 degrees of the Lahiri chitrapaksha.

The fact also remains that the tropical astrology is also right.

The fact remains that there can be more than one approach and one

route to climb a mountain and yet reach the same place.

The fact also remains that non -astrological divinations also give

similar answers.

The same rasagulla tastes different when eaten at different places

with different people.

And why does food cooked by Ma always taste the same?

So the journey of life continues........

[Guest guest]

Dear Rishi ji,

 

Since you specifically quoted a few of my phrases I must answer. I am

indeed math challenged. You should see my marks in math! I am also

hindi challenged. I used to love hindi in school and was average to

above average. But I have probably had an opportunity to speak or

read or write hindi for perhaps less than a total of 24 hours in the

last many many years. I can write with difficulty, I find it hard to

speak or think in Hindi. It is amazing how quickly one's first

language evaporates or at least goes on the backburner.

Oh and the third truth is that I do not know Chess at all.

 

Online perceptions can be very deceptive. My misfortune is that

though I consider myself as a perpetual student of astrology and

human experience, and publicly state same repeatedly, I am mistaken

by some who insist that they see me in a teacher role. And then they

get upset, dejected and begin to feel that I am somehow throwing

roshogollas at them with nuggets of wisdom embedded in those

roshogollas (technically that would make it a rajbhog!). This is

their maya, not mine!

 

Yes these are very valid questions that you asked about ayanamsha,

different systems working, and even wrong charts giving the answers

and the role of divine inspiration, intuition, sadhna etc. Many

experienced astrologers have in unambiguous statements stated the

same for many years. There is nothing new there. There is no absolute

system or FIX on gauging human experience. Many portals have been

provided or evolved. The many window approach makes sense in terms of

what has been stated for millennia by seers and psychics and sages

and now by quantum physicists: Everything in universe is connected.

Strange as it may seem, even if an electron experiences something, it

leaves a permanent record which can be seen in many different ways.

The significant word is not "different" but 'MANY'.

 

Best of luck with resolving your uncertainties.

 

RR
