Guest guest Posted December 2, 2007 Report Share Posted December 2, 2007 Pandit Arjun, After reading your message , I think it will be pertinent to share my experience with you . There is an Astrologer in Trivandrum. He is a professional and may be around 94 or 95 years old. He is a Kaniyan. To better appreciate , the topic, I think you should be told who are these Kaniyans Kaniyans Kaniyars are a caste specifically assigned forthe purpose of Horoscope delineation and interpretation . It is believed Kaniyars are the first recepeints of the divine knowledge of Astrology right from the mouth of Lord Subramonia , the presiding deity of Jyotish ..Kaniyans also called Panicker , Kalari panicker etc in some places are re-christened as Ganakas or Gurukshetra samajam by the Government and is included in the other backward communities (OBC's) . Even in those dark ages when untouchability was practised , Kaniyars were allowed free movements in the society and could even enter Royal household and were respected because of their knowledge in Astrology The Bible of Horary "Prasna Marga" was written by a Namputhiri Bramin at the behest of his kaniyan disciple . There are many secrets in Astrology , that passess from generation to generation , known only to members of Kaniyar community. Anyway , the present generation has distanced themselves from the study of Astrology and majority of them are well placed in Govt jobs and finds learning of Jyotish below their dignity and status . Reverting to our topic under discussion , the time of birth of puppies was carefully recorded and a computer printout was taken to the Asan (a title as a mark of respect) . The Asan was told it belong to a new born baby and was asked to give a reading .. The Asan within a fillip retorted with a smile that the horoscope given to him was of "viyoni janma" and he even went to the extent of saying it belong to puppies , duly quoting a sanskrit sloka In another instance , few years back, the then Chief Secretary himself in a private chat told me how he became a believer in Astrology.His father in law took the chart of his daughter and his chart to the Asan for assessing the compatibility rating . The Asan on receiving the chart written in the palmyra leaf (parachment ) without even being told to whom the chart belong at a glance reportedly told that the owner of the chart is destined to become Chief Secretary . ( You should note that there is no guarantee that one in IAS cadre should retire as Chief secretary and remember this prediction was made when he just joined the IAS ) Several instances could be quoted about his terrific mastery in Astrology . He lives few km's away from Srinad's house .One of my friend from Bangalore , who himself is an expert Astrologer was eager to show his chart to the Asan. Unfortunately Asan who is now 94 or 95 is taking rest and his relatives were very angry when insisted on meeting him . Interestingly the Asan, it seems didn't make any money in his long career in Astrology spanning over 70 years and is not even a known figure . Though not connected with this Asan, I will tell you another incident that happened few months back My friend's wife (both officers in SBI & SBT respectively ) died of snake bite .When we visited their house , his mother in law was lamenting that it was written in her daughter's chart that she will die before 52 (after 51) by snake bite . You should take note , some unknown Kaniyan 51 years back (no ephemeris, no calculators or computers ,not even panchangs were readily available during that time and the kaniyars use to calculate planetary longitude manually) was able to predict death through snake bite . The bottom line is many secrets of Astrology are known only to the "paramparas " and these paramparas, atleast in kerala has ended and the knowledge has been digested by the Time and we the students of Astrology will never get any access to such knowledge.
