Ayanamsa Debate

[Guest guest]

Dear Sreenadh and friends,

I am seeing the group after a long break due to tight schedules and now I am writing from Trivandrum as I found you people debating on ayanamsa. Had astrologers been of scientific habits the 'ayanamsa' debate would have ended by this time. In Kerala to all Chitrapaksha Panchanga makers I have send a copy of my latest paper appearing in Ind Jour of Hist of Science_March 2006, INSA, N.Delhi-2 asking them to respond scientifically if they intend to have real standardization and rationalization of Panchangas. Most of the Chakravartis did not turn up - may be the paper published in the journal had the conclusion with sufficient proof that the Calendar Reform Committee comitted gross mistake in understanding and interpreting the polar longitudes of Suryasiddhanta. Unless it is a sound scientific work is it possible that such a paper will be accepted by journal. IJHS took 2.5 years to publish the paper (Aug 2003 to March 2006) to have the paper in print. It is therefore apparent that the paper had been send to many referees and has been published because of the irrefutable scientific grounds.

Here the question is does the astrology community has the spirit and the knowledge to accept a true scientific work? Pradeep had been interacting with the PVR group and some of the Gurus have been making silly comments instead of replying to my scientific works. I have mailed solid data to PVR but he has not replied to any such mail. His doubts are of the type - where is Muladhara? When that is answered he will ask why it should be 240 degree? When the ayanamsa is proved with published data on Mrtyubhagas, he never answers. A mathematical proof based on Suryasiddhanta was also mailed to him but he never replied to such mails.

It is of no use to waste time with people who pretend to be in sleep. Those who have the good sense may ponder on the following points:

1. How could the ancient people think that their astronomical computations are not accurate and they needed more accuracy? See, I can know my measurement as wrong only if I have a standard or scale to compare. What was that standard in ancient times?

2. If astrologers in India says that 'samkrama' is at 10 AM, 1015 AM, 11AM or say 1700 hrs - how can we ascertain that which of these is correct?

3. If we have no means to ascertain the truth of "SUBHA & ASUBHA" times given by different panchangas (ephemeris) - what is the credibility of Jyotisha?

4. Is there any relevance to Jyotisha in our lives beyond that of a "Cow over the page of a book"? Only lunacy induced by Moon and tidal effects are the impact of planets on human beings? No other effect?

5. What made Varaha Mihira to pray at the outset "Moorthithve..." to rising Sun for "Vacham nah sa dadathu trilokyadeepo ravi". How Sun can give word, vak?

6. How is it that Gayatri is able to bestow divine grace on people? How does Savitru impart his grace?

Go deeper into Jyotisha - it is a Yogatmaka sastram. Jyotischakram involves the 'Time Structure of Breathing' and True Zodiac is Mahayogi and Mahakala. If you can realize a Yogi on the sky, in the path of the Sun, then the jyotisha that you follow has a meaning. Otherwise it shall be a psueudoscience as is being preached and practiced by some people on different groups.

Hope Sreenadh will be able to make some fresh air blow over world wide web of naueating discussions on Jyotisha. Some of the lessons that are being taught to students as researches are really rubbish...
