A New Journal of Astrology by a University

[Guest guest]

Vinay ji,

 

It is indeed pleasure to know the publication of hindi based jyotish

journal (being from MP - hindi speaking land). I have seen few

reasonably successful hindi jyotish magazines (from delhi / jaipur

etc) and they have good sized audience. So there is always scope for

good journal, as long as it is focussed in its purpose.

 

Being KP astrologer, I am interested in knowing - if your magazine

will have KP contents.

 

Best wishes for new journal.

 

regards / Anu Pathak

Dept of Jyotisha, KSD Sanskrit University (India) has decided to start

a new journal of astrology Jyotisha Shodha Patrikaa in Hindi , for

which quality contributions are requested. I have been asked by my

friend Dr Radhakant Mishra (Head of Dept as well as of Faculty of

Jyotisha) to get this task accomplished.

 

Anyone can send the contribution to me through email or to the HOD

through post, preferably in Hindi (but some articles in English may be

included even in the Hindi magazine). Rank or degrees of contributors

will not carry any weight, only the quality of contributions will be

valued.

 

It is for the first time that a Sansktit university recognized by govt

has decided to start an astrological magazine. But no funds have been

allocated for this project during the current financial year,

hence no renumeration will be paid to the contributors.

 

An astrological webzine in English may also be launched by the Dept of

Jyotisha of this university. Members of this group (and their

acquaintances) are also requested to send proposals and suggestions

concerning the design, layout, etc of web magazine. Its editorial

board has not been finalized, and knowledgeable persons willing to

give some time may be requested to participate in editing and managing

the webzine.

 

The main purpose of this project is to discuss cardinal problems of

both Ganita(mathematical) and Phalita(predictive) aspects of Vedic

Jotisha, esp with a view to find out best methods suitable for

predictive astrology. All systems of Vedic astrology can be compared

and evaluated with this aim in view. We do not want to focus on mere

theoretical discussions, but are desirous of bringing to light

practical techniques which could be used in individual and mundane

analyses.

 

Article in Hindi sent through email should accompany the font used,

otherwise we may not be able to read it. Persons desirous of more

information can contact me through email or search my website.

The main problem of modern astrology is success rate of predictions

according to various systems. Hence, all systems ought to be tested.

There are nearly 50 types of ayanamshas in softwares based om physical

astronomy, and there are scores of traditional methods practiced by

almanac makers in India. We cannot give equal coverage to all these

methods, it is just impossible. But if you want to contribute

something on KP system, you are most welcome. But the article should

be upto the standards expected for a research article for a university

research journal. For instance, you can use KP or any other system to

generate rainfall forecasts and test the results with 100 years of

past data. Or you can examine at least 30-40 cancer patients to find

out common features.

Thanks!

Many thanks for your clarification on KP based articles.

 

When is the likely first release date and deadline for paper

submission.

 

I look forward for your journal release, as there are not many

qualitative publications (though with good circulation). and Perhaps,

there will be first such journal participated by so many learned

scholars / professors. Otherwise, most of publications are run by

commercial (or deemed commercial) publishers / authors.

This magazine is annual in its initial phase, because we do not want

to be compelled to publish rubbish. At present people do not have a

habit of writing research papers in astrology. A research papers must

bring out something new or throe new light on the old in some

important field of astrology. Moreover, the method must be based upon

some well established tradition. New techniques or ideas can be

published only if they are presented in well referenced and logical

manner, or be well established authorities. But it must be related to

Jyotisha as prescribed in the curriculum of Sanskrit universities of

India, esp KSDS University.

 

KP System is not in the university curriculum, but if one can prove

that KP System can give better predictive results in a consistent

manner then we will certainly publish such a work. But before

publishing we will compare the " results " with the methods which our

university teaches and believes to be true. We want practical results,

not mere preaching about methods.

 

Nearly all matter for current year's publication is ready, with minor

exceptions, and we expect to send the matter to press by the end of

this month or in next month. But time should be no constraint for a

research papers. If one cannot finish it within time, his/her work may

find a place in next issue.

 

The article/peper can be sent to me through email, which I can provide

when demanded. Or, the article /paper can be sent by post, which may

take longer time.
