Exalted retro, a grey area/To sreeram

[Guest guest]

Dear Sreeram, I liked Mr Mehta's post and the content looks refreshing, and I'd look forward to his sharing of knowledge/experience here. I was just taking a mild umbrage at his parting interjection 'phew'. Which to me suggested we are struggling with silly fundamentals, which bores him. Good. So was my riposte, wasn't it? Who has the last word, my friend! Those 'few' who may be having, are -- I am sure -- farthest from 'phew' RKsreeram srinivas <sreeram64 wrote: Dear RKji,I

think there are few things that are getting blown up:1) Astrology belongs to everyone and there are NO individual owners. Weall agree.2) Yes there are rules laid down in the astro_classics, and nobody hascontested it3) Nobody has arrogated to that level as stated in your original email.For this group clearly mentioned again and again that there are NO gurus- but only students of astrology, learning with heart, NOT with a intent-MIND.4) I myself has not read many astro_literature of the same is insouth-indian libraries, do not know the process of accessing them andpartly for want to time.5) "Jyotish Group" mentions on its home page that the group has beengraced by Sri K.N. Rao, but it was the same Sri K.N. Rao who said in thesame group one day, when he was fighting the Astrology education casein Supreme Court, NO one in the group has offered their services or helpwhatsoever. i.e. expression

of help.6) Jyotish Group does have some noble hearted members including Bhaskar.7) It is NOT my intent to paint them black, but to highlight thehypocrisy of Indians in general.8) If somebody has done some good work in bringing out astro_literatureand is willing to share it across without any restrictions, why indulgein individual slanging ?9) Let the subject of astrology be our focus, rather than theindividuals.Example : Sri K.N. Rao seldom said anything against Mr. Finn Wandahl,though he differed with him on few occassions - for a single point thatMr. Finn has done sufficiently well in promoting astrology. Similarly,Sri K.N. Rao never said a word against Late Sri B.V. Raman except ontechnical reasons of Ayanamsa issues, where everybody is entitled touphold their own personal reasons.10) Find contesting points on the "subject" should it deviate or expresssomething contradicting to well

known or accepted normsExample: Some controversy of Rahu/Ketu aspects. Few consider onlydispositor theory, but respected exponents like Late Sri Sitaram Jhahave considered special aspects, in their published books.11) The astro_literature is so huge that would take alteast 10 years injust reading them. That is what I realized during my personalassociation with Late Sri C.S. Patel after looking at his personalibrary, though he has written only 5 books, what knowledge went intothose 5 books is beyond many many peoples imagination.12) So my concluding request to members is NOT to get influenced byanyone other than by sheer sujbect itself. Do not be conduits ormessengers of other. Go by your own convinctions and debate on themwhere necessary. By doing so, you may forget or lose your own characterone day.What is our contribution to the subject of astrology, that we startcasting aspersions on others

??I myself against self proclaimed Visionaries or Gurus.Let the space provided by corporation, be used intelligently thanto satisfy our personal whims & fancies.With regards,Sreeram_Srinivas , rk dash <arkaydashwrote:Dear Group:The point made by Goel Saab is of great salience. There arerules/features about planets that are for longevity calculation pupose,eg.It is easy go about throwing one's weight after reading astrology forseven or ten years, arrogating to oneself the 'know-it-all' wisdom of arishi.

And humbly.RKGopal Goel gkgoel1937 wrote:Dear Vinita Kumar and other Friends,Astrology does not belong to any particular person , this is a veryuseful branch of knoweldge and

extend its help to huminity in all walksof life.Then there is no scope ti fight on the basic princples of astrology ,which were developed over past 5000 - 6ooo years by the persons of greatrepute and wisdom.I will make an attempt to explain various issues one by one in mysuccessive mails.Topic of this mail - Exaltation , Mooltrikona and own house of planetsThere is a general dictum that a planet in Exaltation gives fullauspicious results , in Mooltrikona 75%. Own house 50%.Sun - Own sign and Mooltrikona is Leo , Exaltation is Aries.There is no problem if Sun in Aries, but if Sun is placed in leo ,should it be considered in own or mooltrikona sign.IN SUCH A SITUATION TEXTS GIVES US DIRECTION:In case Sun is placed in 1st 20 degree of Leo it is considered as if itis placed in its Mooltrikona sign and rest of the portion of sign isconsidered as if it is placed in its Own sign.The Sun is lord of

signLeo.Let us take the case of Mercury:It owns Gemini and Virgo . Virgo is its own ,mooltrikona as well asexaltation sign. If Mercury is placed in Virgo , upto 15deg is itsexaltation , next 5deg is mooltrikona .and rest is own sign.Thus basically this rule is devised to know thedegree of auspicious results when Mercury is placed in sign Virgo.For calculating duration Dsaa periods in char dasa's etc , or longevity, WHOLE SIGN VIRGO IS CONSIDERED AS EXALTATION SIGN.Moon :Taurus is its exaltation sign upto 3deg and rest of the sign isconsidered as its mooltrikona , when Moon is placed in Taurus.Otherwise Taurus is considered its exaltation sign and Cancer is onlyconsidered its own sign( In the case of all other planets Mooltrikonasign also actsas their own sign also)EVERY RULE IS GIVEN FOR SPECIFIC USE AND PURPOSE.In my next mail , I will try to explain some nice features on interfriendship of

planets . All of you know it , still it is quiteinteresting to discuss.In my subsequent mail , I will try to explain the secrets of retrogradeplanets.RegardsG.K.GOELPh: 09350311433Add: L-409, SARITA VIHARNEW DELHI-110 076INDIA
