Guest guest Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 I deeply regret to inform the group that Pt. Dinesh Chandra Awasthi, a great sanskrit scholar and an exponent of Jyotish for over 25 years expired at the young age of 53, on 8th November 2006 around 10am. He was a pioneer of sort in editing and providing content and calculations for Astrology software over a decade back. He is well known for his organizational abilities and has organized hundreds of get-togethers and seminars in India. He was recently appointed Chairman of the Mumbai Chapter of ICAS. Pt. Awasthi had a few months back started a project to "Unify BPHS" from several sources and come up with an authentic translation (based on secondary sources, as no primary source is available) of BPHS. I was the sponsor for the project. He leaves behind his wife, three daughters and one son in Mumbai, India. May his soul rest in peace. raj rao Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 So sorry to learn that one so young has passed over, and may his soul rest in peace.

Guest guest Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 It was a sudden loss. He had high fever for just 2 days and was hospitalised as he started deteriorating very fast. He died of suspected Dengue and severe Pneumonia. raj , "Marg" <margie9 wrote: > > So sorry to learn that one so young has passed over, and may his soul rest in peace.
