Hare Rama Krsna!

 

Dear Mr. Goel,

 

> 2. First point of Sidereal Aries -our ancient Rishis suggested that this

>point should be opposite to Star Chitra.

 

Can you point out to us any quote from the ancient rishis where they have

stated this?

 

Ys,

Dhira Krsna dasa,

Dear Goelji,

I thankyou for your response to my message. I was away so could not

respond to your reply earlier.

As I said, I have not used any scriptural reference in my study.With

due regards to the available knowledge with us, we are all aware that

a lot of knowledge is missing from our religious and ancient books. e

are also aware that over the last few centuries some "value addition"

has been done by the scholars of this time.

Sir, ayanamsha is the measure of the precession of the equinoxes. It

is not dependent on when the human society developed the concept of

Rashi chakra. It is natural and therefore, precedes any Zero mark.

Further, whenever we selected a Zero, its for relative measurement.

Ayanamsha or the precession is basic astronomy and independent of the

civilisations and even sacrosanct religious thought.

Our ancient seers knew this as did other civilisations in Egypt,

China and other places.

 

Sir, may I ask that have we given due weightage to Guru or Jupiter?

Why does Guru have the status of a satwik graha along with the

luminaries, Sun and the Moon. For like the Sun and the Moon form

a "natural" month; Sun and Guru form a "natural" year.

I do not invent this, it is a natural cycle.

 

Swami Yukteshwarji in his book in 1894 on the "Holy Sciences" given

us the hint to decipher it. He has stated that the Precession would

be a cycle of 24000 years with the ayanamsha at 54 seconds/year.

He is right!

Only he refers to the "natural" year created by the conjunction of

Sun and Guru. For each such conjunction gives a 54 seconds change in

precession.

And I may add with your permission that the entire Jyotish is but a

conjunction, opposition and motion of stars. Does not the conjunction

of Sun and Moon create a month?

I am grateful that you read through what I wrote.I shall try to

answer any other questions too.

with regards

To add "spice and thought" to the discussion, Ayanamsa comes into place

due to the 3rd Motion of the Earth!

 

I am suprised, none have made a mention of this !

 

Om Tat Sat,

All gurus

In this Ayanamsha too much of Confushions in this. In the case of calculate a Jathaka , if using each ayanamsha jathaka have Too much of Differences. One Mr. Chadrahari , He developed a ayanamsha that is called Mooladhara rahushiki chakra. Too much of thining and Ayanamsha are Available in the World. But Which Is Correct.

Suggest you try out on different charts and draw the conclusions

youself. Leaving aside mathematical research, I have myself tried

different ayanamsas, but satisfied that grandfathers (Raman) ayanamsa

gives good results.
