SIDDHANTA WERE 'agama' different from 'astronomical treaties'

April 27, 2009

Dear Vinay Jee,

As per Shiva Purana all vidya (subjects of study including astronomy) were

initially with Lord Shiva. He gifted it to various Rishi. The sources of wisdom

on various subject including pure mathematics as obtained by the the Rishi

(sages) from Lord are all 'Agama' (gifted one from the God).

Hence it is quite wrong to say 'Surya Siddhanta is based on Agama' and therefore

it is something different from

'Mathematical Astronomy' is not correct.

Somewhere these is a communication gap. We must try to find it.

It happens a lot of time in every field of knowledge.

For example take the case of Radio invented by Sir Jagdish Chandra Bose.

Still it is a mystery which process or activity of the plant kindgdom

Sir J C Bose replicated in the Radio Transmitter he invented.

What should we say about it ?

He was practising Tantric Saddhana/ Agama ?

What prompted you to assume that Aryabhata was weak in astronomy and took help

of 'Agama' rather than pure astronomy (like Sir J C Bose !)to arrive at his

value of 'Ayanamsa'

WHAT IS MOST IMPORTANT IN CORRECT PREDICTION IN JYOTISH IS GETTING THE CORRECT

HOROSCOPE, CORRECT ANALYSIS OF OVERALL PLANETARY INFLUENCES.

SYSTEM OF HOUSES AND ACCURACY OF THE AYANAMSA ETC. WITHOUT GOOD BASIC KNOWLEDGE

OF JYOTISH ARE OF NO USE AS ALL OF US KNOW.

With regards and best wishes,

MrutyunjayJi,

Read my words carefully before answering. In your haste to contradict me, you

forgot that you are contradicting the words of Bhaskara-ii whom I had quoted. It

was Bhaskaraachaarya who said his " his source of information of Suryasiddhantic

formula was not the extant text (of Suryasiddhanta) but Aagama " . If this

statement is false, please turn your gun against Bhaskara-ii and not against me.

If you think I am quoting Bhaskar-ii falsely, say so explicitly, instead of

teaching me jyotisha in your kind words :

" WHAT IS MOST IMPORTANT IN CORRECT PREDICTION IN JYOTISH IS GETTING THE

CORRECT HOROSCOPE, CORRECT ANALYSIS OF OVERALL PLANETARY INFLUENCES. SYSTEM OF

HOUSES AND ACCURACY OF THE AYANAMSA ETC. WITHOUT GOOD BASIC KNOWLEDGE OF

JYOTISH ARE OF NO USE AS ALL OF US KNOW. "

These words are good, but why thrown at me ? I may be ignorant about Jyotisha

in your view, but there is no dearth of experts who think otherwise :

Click_Here-1 , Click_Here-2 , Click_Here-3

It is amusing to find that a developer of many vedic astrology sofwares like me

is 'without basic knowledge of Jyotisha and is of no use...' . I know you are

not biased, because you do not even know me. You rightly said : " Somewhere these

is a communication gap. " Read Siddhaanta-shiromani's Vaasanaa-bhaashya

(Golaadhyaaya, Golabandhaadhikaara, his own bhaashya of verses 17-19) of

Bhaaskaraachaarya-ii, the gap will be bridged. It is wrong to imagine that

anyone can become a good astrologer without a sound knowledge of siddhanta,

which most astrologers despise now-a-days.
