Dear Vinay ji,

 

This is a much appreciated stance from you, of opening a new thread, but

if it deals just with astronomy and mathematics, then I will not be able

to understand the same. I am basically a astrologer who reads only that

stuff which will better the pedictive abilities and keeps away from too

much theory, mathematics and the Esoteric. Any discussion which brings

me near the truth of a incident in a natives chart is wort of interest

to me . What will happen ? When it will happen ? And how it will happen

?

 

Yes You are right about Neelamji, Sreenadhji ,Sunilji and even yourself.

We are all good people and must remain so and keep away from any sort of

acrimony in our exchanges.

 

regards,

 

Bhaskar.

reserved for these useless charges and counter-charges, and let us begin

a new thread for discussing astrological problems, without any personal

attacks or diversions.

this topic is not destroyed as so many earlier attempts were destoyed

with personal attacks. I have no acrimony against you, Sunilji,

Neelamji, Sreenadhji etc, because I know they are all misunderstanding

me. All of them want good astrology ; I also want the same. Where is the

difference ? The difference lies in an unwillingness to listen. It can

be solved by shutting one's ears. They can refuse to listen to me. Why

quarrel with me ? If someone imagines he can mute my voice he is utterly

mistaken. I have just begun on the internet. I have not opened all my

cards, which will become yours the moment you try to understaqnd and use

my cards, because my cards are not mine. I discovered nothing new.

Dear Vinay Jha ji,

 

I did not anticipate this spate of negativity in response to my attempt at

peace-making. Most of my message has been misinterpreted by you. I had

written a very direct and straight mail in simple English. Anybody who cares

to read my message will be able to offer you the correct meaning. However,

here are some important points clarified:

 

First and foremost, it was RR ji, I was referring to as an umpire and not

Sunil ji. You may read the message again and see for yourself.

 

The message was my personal feeling only and I really do not see what

‘nugget of worth’ is there in those verbal discords! Hope I am free to

express what I feel for once, you’ve been doing it for months.

 

About the Chandala controversy, if you do not hold these views, then we rest

the case. I have no patience to go through all the messages. If I know Sunil

ji from his writings, he was taking a cue from one of your messages and

giving his views on the same. The word Chandala might've been an extended

synonym.

 

//Neelam Gupta is a liar because she charges me of offering " a second line

of predictive astrology " .//

 

This is most ridiculous, as anyone can read my mail and see that *I was

talking about myself* and not you. Here’s what I said:

 

//We cannot master everything in this short life. With one mainstay

profession, a second line of predictive astrology is more than what I (and

some others like me) can handle with some level of justification.//

 

Where do you fit yourself in the sentence? In AIA also there was a similar

talk about a ‘chicken’.

 

I do not wish to elaborate on the other points. I am sorry for causing

discomfort to you.

 

Regards

Neelam

Dear Bhaskarji and Neelamji,You can now see how Vinayji is lying. My mails are there to show what I said. I do not know if his past Marxist background has anything to do with this anti-astrology attitude. His unsubstantiated (hence false) claims that he alone understands the true meaning of the Suryasiddhanta because of his tapasya is only meant to make people lose their faith in the Suryasiddhanta. He is in the same league as Kaulji. He cannot give you any reference from Manu Smriti as Manu never said that astrologers are chandalas. What Manu said was that the astrologers, physicians , temple priests and people of several other professions are barred from being invited to Devakarya and Pitrukarya. Only non-professionals like poor intellectuals were to be invited and the given food and dakshina. . Vinayji claimed that in Mahabharata also the

astrologers are called Chandala. It is another lie and he cannot give any verse to you. I think Chandrahariji was right in what all he said about him.Vinayji has given only calendar years and he has not mentioned the months in his paper on monsoon cycles and that is fallacious. For example January 1901 to December 1960 may appear to be 59 years years but it is actually near 60 years than 59. Similarly December 1901 to January 1962 may appear to be 61 years but actually it is more near 60 years. He just wanted to hoodwink the audience. i am sure the audience wasamused but did not bother to give any importance to what he said. Monsoon is what decides the crop and he is denying the role of the return of Jupiter, the Sun amd the Moon at the end of 60 years to the same position convinces me that he does not understand the role of the grahas and so he does not really understand astrology at all. Even the Saturn

completes two cycles in 60 years and so it is also in the same position in 60 years. He also admitted that old data are not available to give the results for several cycles yet he does not hesitate to claim exactly 61 year cycle (ie 61 X 12 = 732 months cycle) and he has not mentioned any variance of even a month in that. What an unscientific approach? Please be careful of correspondence with him as he does not hesitate to twist matters if that suits him.Regards,Sunil K.Bhattacharjya--- On Mon, 4/6/09, vinayjhaa16 <vinayjhaa16 wrote:vinayjhaa16 <vinayjhaa16 Re: Greeks vs Indians <HOLY JEUS!> Date: Monday, April 6, 2009, 4:14 AM

 

TO ALL :

 

An astrological issue of great importance is being declared to be

non-astrological.

 

I am amused to find the same team here united against me without any

reason and with abuses, which fruatrated my attempts to discuss anything

worthwhile in AIA. I am surprised at their teamspirit and want to point

out the underlying causes which is the cementing force uniting them, and

what harm they are doing to astrology.

 

First of all, I will like to answer Bhaskarji's charge that I am abusing

all astrologers as chaandaalas without providing any refernce to

Manusmriti and MBh. In answer, I am quoting recent mail of Sunilji in

this thread "Kaulji said that the astrologers are Chandalas without

knowing that any dishonest person in any profession is a Chandala. He

did not accept that astrology was known in the ancient times in India

though he himself said that Manu mentioned that astrologers are not to

be invited to participate in Devakarya and Pitrikarya and he was

withholding the fact the physicians and the temple priest are also not

to be invited for ......"

 

It was Kaulji who said all astrologers are chaandaalas according to

Manusmriti. Sunilji corerected him by adding that according to Manu not

only all astrologers but all physicians and all temple priests are also

chaandaalas. I countered this misinterpretation of Manusmriti by

Sunilji, and said that only those astrologers, physicians and priests

were declared to be chaandaalas who made a living out of these

professions. This is literal meaning. In my view, astrologers and others

need money to live in this world and therefore have a right to accept

dakshinaa. I know a large number of pandits who adhere to this principle

and accept dakshinaa but do not ask for fees. I could have accepted

dakshinaas had I not been provided with alternative source for

livlihood. Hence, the real sense of manusmriti must have been that only

thugs are chaandaalas who pose as astrologers & c but are actually after

the pockets of their clients. It is strange that Bhaskarji is forgiving

Sunulji who made false and derogatory remarks against all astrologers

& c, and is inciting all members here on false pretexts. I merely

corrected Sunilji who was making a misinterpretation. Why Bhaskarji does

not ask Sunilji to provide the verse, which will make it clear who is

lying about Manusmriti and who is leveling false charge on me ? Instead,

Bhaskarji call me a hypocrite and concludes that I have "nothing to

offer".

 

Neelamji joined the fray against me, as she did in AIA, concluding that

my mails have "any nugget of worth", repeating Bhaskarji's charge that I

am good for nothing, and sympathising with Bhaskarji's false charges

against me that I call all astrologers as chaandaalas ("It is painful to

see a scholar like Vinay ji use such terminology which has no basis in

any Shastra"). I am being charged of what was actually said by Sunilji,

whom Neelamji hails as a good umpire to judge me (earlier she had hailed

Chandrahariji who could pass a verdict on me). Now, Sreenadhji has also

joined in this fray ( cf.

http://dir.groups. / group/JyotishGro up/message/ 22847 : "Does

those parasites in search of a free meal will feed the family of the

astrologer or what?!". Although I adhere to strict rules of sanyasa, I

need not beg for free meals because I have permanent source of income.

But I am a parasite, because I distribute my works freely !! These same

people have abused all astrologers who are now falsely blaming me for

doing so, I only corrected the reference. These people do not know how

to quote, how to read and how to behave in a forum.

 

Neelam Gupta is a liar because she charges me of offering "a second line

of predictive astrology". I had made it clear in AIA and in my website

that I strictly adhere to Parashara's predictive astrology (BPHS & c).

Why she is leveling a false charge on me ? These persons want to ban

("shun" as bhaskarji said) a person like me who is advocating the rules

of sages in the field of Vedic Astrrology. Neelam Gupta should ask

Sunilji to stop diverting the discussion away from astrology. Instead,

she is accusing me of this diversion. I never liked any discussion on

history, because I am basically a software developer and lengthy

discussion not related to current problems of practical astrology

hampers my work. But those very persons are charging me of diversion who

are themselves guilty of diverting the topic on astrology to history or

to wine and even to sex (I have in store previous mails of these

fellows, some of which contained nothing but obscene abuses to my mother

and sister). In AIA, I had also quoted a message from PVR Narasimhaji,

supported by Sanjay Rath ji, which said that the team of Chandrahariji

is too dogmatic to listen to others. This same team is after my flesh

and blood now.

 

Lastly, I must answer the useless message of Sunilji who is hellbent on

diverting astrological discussions to other things merely with a view to

malign me and get me banned.He wants a discussion on my technical paper

on weather forecasting and teleconnections in an astrological forum. How

many members here know the meaning of "teleconnections" in weather

science ? I am sorry to note that Sunilji regards a difference of 1.7

years as merely "a fraction of a year"!! He rejects the very existence

of 61-year ctcle because he fails to understand a scientific paper. His

first charge is I had "not given any substantive data". I worked on

already existing data of IITM ,Pune which I cited in reference-10 which

were originally for 1871-1978 but are constantly being updated (I also

used 1813-2007 dataset from IITM, but it was only for ISMR and not for

whole years, hence I could not use it properly). Sunilji can get these

datasest from IITM (Pune) and check for himself whether I worked without

authentic data or not. Why should I fill up my paper with data well

known to weather scientists ? I was asked my referees to remove well

known items in order to present only new things. I lucidly explained in

my paper how I used and analyzed that dataset.

 

His second charge is that I gave no repeat cycles and gave no dates of

any particular year in my paper. Either his eyesight is defective or his

intentions are far from sincere. I gave comparison of two cycles in six

figures, of three cycles in one figure and of four cycles in one figure

( Fig-1,2,3,4, 6,7,9) . Annual data of only 136 years are availabe in the

case of India, which could facilitate comparision of only two whole

cycles of 61 years, and partial comparison of three cycles (1813-2007

dataset can give more span but less reliability due lack of whole year's

data). Surprisingly, Sunilji asks me to work on "at least two or three

centuries" ; he does not even know that rainfall data for India does not

exist for so long periods. Clearly, he is a novice in this field, but

Neelamji thanks him for "volunteering to be the good umpire" ! The

referees of IISc or experts of NASA were unfit, and a chemist like

Sunilji should judge my work ! Why he does not inform the referees of

CAOS, IISc that they erred in selecting my paper ?

 

Sunilji falsely says that my paper does not give years clearly. My paper

(

http://weatherindia .wetpaint. com/page/ A+New+approach+ to+Rain+Forecast ing

) says : "1957 AD is numbered 87 (= 1957 - 1870 ) and will be found in

the second series in blue . When the second curve was superimposed upon

the first one, shape of both waveforms coincided in a majority of cases

when the gap between both series was chosen to be 61 years. Waveform of

1891-1923 ( year nos. 21-53 ) had an similarity in shape with that of

1952-1984 ( year numbers 82-114) in 25 out of 33 years , only 8 years

were out of phase. " Even a cursory glance at Fig-2 in my paper will

convince any unbiased onlooker that annual rainfall waveform replicate

the waveform of 61-years away for 50% of the time, even if we change 61

to 60 or to 62, this replication will cease. Why Sunilji deliberately

falsifies an important discovery is not difficult to guess. He has a

prejuduce for 60-year Jovian cycle, and cannot accept any new fact

against his prejudice. The Jovian cycle is quite different from the

solar cycle of 61 years. Due to his prejudices, Sunilji is deliberately

falsifying data and facts. He says about me "He does not even know how

to write a scientific paper properly and to report authentically. "

Unfortunately, it is Sunilji whio does not even know how to read a

scientific paper properly and to report honestly.

 

As for the date of Kalidasa, I do not know his arguments for his dating

of Kalidasa in 8th century BC. I have no access to his full paper, I got

a passage quoted in another person's work. Hence, I neither accept nor

refute his dating. But my knowledge of Sunilji's "scientific" temper

leads me to suspect his dating has no substantiation. He had said that

Suryasiddhanta had one hundred thousand verses. He makes wild statements

and does not cite sources. I am repeating my earlier statement that the

true date of Kalidasa can be judged only by procuring some old prints of

Ritusamhara which contained a verse at the end stating the date and

tithi, but era was not stated ; later publishers omitted this verse

because they thought a text of literature should not contain a

mathematical verse about dating written in archaic astrological

language. I have a photocopy of that page, the worn out book is in the

possession of an elderly person. Unfortunately, Sunilji pokes fun at all

my statements without any reason. It is asign of his bizarre

"scientific" attitude !

 

He is misguided by his ignorance in saying "Vinayji is wrong when he

says that INSA (India National Science Academy) papers are not

peer-reviewed. " I never said Chandrahariji' s papers were not published

in peer-reviewed journals, I said that Chandrahariji published his wrong

interprewtations of Suryasiddhanta in journals whose panel included

peers of other disciplines, not a singlr expert of Suryasiddhanta was

there. I can prove this statement in a court of law, as I have already

done. There is no other cure for liars who pose as experts of texts

which they do not understand. Neelamji is a light minded person who

thinks the fundamental texts of Indian astrology should not be discussed

and monsoon-cycles have nothiong to do with astrology. If she has no

interest in serious issues, she can keep away from these topics and

forget me. But no, the friends of Chandrahariji have a mission : they

want to modify the meaning of Suryasiddhanta which is not possible as

long as I am here. Hence, I must be hanged or fired.

 

Friends, wait for some time. I am going to dispel all this fog created

by a small team (from AIA), for which I need some time, for translating

my works into English. Ancient Indian mundane astrology was a great

science, which I want to bring to fore ; it will help in individual

horoscopy as well. I have discovered nothing new. What Neelamji wants to

ban is not "my" method, my only crime is that I made a free software out

of this ancient method, which forms the bedrock of Jyotishaachaarya

curriculum in all Sanskrit universities. Some supposedly "scientific"

persons think all ancient things must be discarded, hence this hue and

cry against me without even testing my free software !! Let them forget

me and my software, why waste so much of time over me ?

Dear Sunil ji,

 

Yes I can only agree with you. Because I can see him twisting, and

retracing back on what was said before, and also laying stress on

individuals and attributing adjectives and adverbs to them, rather than

talking tangibly on astrology or astronomy.

 

About Pitrakaryas etc. I am aware of the injunctions and even normal

grihasta people who have some knowledge about these matters, and who may

not even be astrologers, priests etc. would not go to attend a lunch at

a shradha at somebodys home if he is a distant relative. At least in my

house though we are nnot Brahmins or priests or anybody remotely related

to these sects, yet we try not going to such yearly functions at

relatives unless it is a close relative.

 

About the other matters you mentioned, yes I can agree to certain points

made by you which I understand. Rest I do not have knowledge so cannot

comment.

 

I will be careful in corresponding, because I am not able to learn

anything, and can only waste my time here.

 

regards,

 

Bhaskar.

I said. I do not know if his past Marxist background has anything to do

with this anti-astrology attitude. His unsubstantiated (hence false)

claims that he alone understands the true meaning of the Suryasiddhanta

because of his tapasya is only meant to make people lose their faith in

the Suryasiddhanta. He is in the same league as Kaulji. He cannot give

you any reference from Manu Smriti as Manu never said that astrologers

are chandalas. What Manu said was that the astrologers, physicians ,

temple priests and people of several other professions are barred from

being invited to Devakarya and Pitrukarya. Only non-professionals like

poor intellectuals were to be invited and the given food and

dakshina. . Vinayji claimed that in Mahabharata also the

astrologers are called Chandala. It is another lie and he cannot give

any verse to you. I think Chandrahariji was right in what all he said

months in his paper on monsoon cycles and that is fallacious. For

example January 1901 to December 1960 may appear to be 59

years years but it is actually near 60 years than 59. Similarly

December 1901 to January 1962 may appear to be 61 years but actually it

is more near 60 years. He just wanted to hoodwink the audience. i am

sure the audience wasamused but did not bother to give any importance to

what he said. Monsoon is what decides the crop and he is denyingÂ

the role of the return of Jupiter, the Sun amd the Moon at the end

of 60 years to the same position convinces me that he does not

understand the role of the grahas and so he does not really understand

astrology at all. Even the Saturn completes two cycles in 60 years and

so it is also in the same position in 60 years. He also admitted

that old data are not available to give the results for several cycles

yet he does

Dear Sunil ji,This is the second round of unpleasant exchanges with him. Problem is that he even misunderstands the plain language, how do you even try to explain the logic?After all this I wasn't even surprised to see a spiteful, threatening mail he just sent to my private ID.

Thanks for your concern. Will keep that in mind.RegardsNeelam

Instead of wasting thousands of man hours from all sides in proving

nothing, and " No Show " , if only he had spent a few thousand rupees on

some good software desinger , he could have removed that incorrigble

stuff there, and posted a simple link from where all could download his

software easily and make their individual assessments. At present the

state is such that, he is talking very high of the omlettes he can make

and how tasty they can be if one can eat them, but he is not capable

enough to make the omlette and serve us, or guide us to a place where

they are available for either payment or for free. So how can one judge

his claims ?

 

At the moment we cant even see the eggs, forget the eating of an

Omlette.

 

And the most irritating fact is that though he claims to be a

Brahmachari and a great spiritualist, but does not have the necessary

state of mind corresponding to his claims, which is mature, unrestless,

and wise enough to make him understand that nobody means him any harm,

nobody is here to criticise him unecessarily, we are not his enemies,

and there is no need to get touchy about simple satatements made by

anyone and take it to heart.

 

Bhaskar.

Dear members,Regarding Astrology and Its relation with profession is in the following story.Many

thousands of years ago the Lord of the universe and God of the three Lokas, Lord Sri Vishnu Narayana was

having a sleep on the bed of the Cobra.

The Goddess Lakshmi was respectfully nursing his feet.

At

the very same time the Maharishi Bhrigu presented himself to the Vaykunth Loka at the entrance.

Two

Door-keepers was standing at the entrance to the Vaykunth Loka. They were named Jai and Vijay. First of all

they welcomed Bhrigu Rishi, and after

that they asked him not to enter at the moment to Lord Sri Vishnu, since he was sleeping.

Not

being allowed entrance to Lord Sri Vishnu Narayana the Maharishi Bhrigu got very angry and said to Jai and

Vijay: "By stopping the Maharishi

Bhrigu you have insulted the most great brahmin soul. Due to that you can get a curse, which will force

you to be reborn on the Earth at least

three times."

When

listening to this threat from Maharishi Bhrigu, Jai and Vijay both bended down their heads and were very silent.

Now the Bhrigu Rishi could enter the

door, without anybody stopping him anylonger.

The

Maharishi Bhrigu then entered the place where Lord Sri Vishnu Narayana was sleeping with Goddess Lakshmi at

his feet. When Bhrigu Rishi saw this, he

became full of anger, because he thought that Lord Vishnu was not really sleeping, but only

pretending to sleep just to insult him.

This

was the time, when the Maharishi Bhrigu with his right leg kicked the chest of Lord Sri Vishnu. When he was hit

Lord Vishnu opened his eyes and went up.

 

Lord

Vishnu was just astonished to see the Bhrigu Rishi standing there. So he bended down his head with folded hands,

and said to Bhrigu Rishi: "My Lord,

my chest is the strongest thing in the world, like a mountain, but your feet are so soft. Maybe you got hurt

while kicking me. So please forgive me

for that."

While

listening to the words of Lord Vishnu, the Bhrigu rishi got very calm and felt very guilty, and he asked the

God please to forgive him.20

As

all this happened, Lakshmi, the Goddess of wealth, got very angry, and she said to Maharishi Bhrigu: "By

behaving this badly towards my husband,

you have insulted me. Therefor I now give a curse, so that you and all your fellow Brahmins will always live

in poverty begging for your living. I

will never come to your home."

After

listening to this the Bhrigu Rishi said: "Poverty Lakshmi! Whatever crime I did was in anger, and I have

already asked the Lord Sri Vishnu to

forgive me. By not thinking very nicely, you have now given this curse to me and my fellow Brahmins. But

anyway what has happened has happened. I

will now write a Jyotish Grantha, from which the Brahmins can predict all about the past,

present and future of every person in

the world. They will get good knowledge as well as good earnings from this. They will be able to earn

their livelihood. And this way you have

got to come to their home anyhow!"

Having

said this Maharishi Bhrigu went back to his ashram, and wrote his book known as "Bhrigu Samhita"

which contains the life-stories of the

past, present and future of all the people in the world on the basis of their Janma-kundalies.

First

of all Bhrigu Rishi taught the principles of this Grantha to his own son and disciple Shukra. By Shukra it was

little by little distributed to the

Brahmins all over the world.20

On

the basis of this the Brahmins have predicted about the past, present and future, and made a living from

that. This is all the story about the

Bhrigu Samhita.20i think all the people might not know about it..Regards,K.Sai Krishna--- On Mon, 6/4/09, Sunil Bhattacharjya <sunil_bhattacharjya wrote:Sunil Bhattacharjya <sunil_bhattacharjya Re:

Dear Bhaskarji and Neelamji,You can now see how Vinayji is lying. My mails are there to show what I said. I do not know if his past Marxist background has anything to do with this anti-astrology attitude. His unsubstantiated (hence false) claims that he alone understands the true meaning of the Suryasiddhanta because of his tapasya is only meant to make people lose their faith in the Suryasiddhanta. He is in the same league as Kaulji. He cannot give you any reference from Manu Smriti as Manu never said that astrologers are chandalas. What Manu said was that the astrologers, physicians , temple priests and people of several other professions are

barred from being invited to Devakarya and Pitrukarya. Only non-professionals like poor intellectuals were to be invited and the given food and dakshina. . Vinayji claimed that in Mahabharata also the

astrologers are called Chandala. It is another lie and he cannot give any verse to you. I think Chandrahariji was right in what all he said about him.Vinayji has given only calendar years and he has not mentioned the months in his paper on monsoon cycles and that is fallacious. For example January 1901 to December 1960 may appear to be 59 years years but it is actually near 60 years than 59. Similarly December 1901 to January 1962 may appear to be 61 years but actually it is more near 60 years. He just wanted to hoodwink the audience. i am sure the audience wasamused but did not bother to give any importance to what he said. Monsoon is what decides the crop and he is denying the role of the return of Jupiter, the Sun amd the Moon at the end of 60 years to the same position convinces me that he does not understand the role of the grahas and so he does not really understand astrology at all. Even the Saturn

completes two cycles in 60 years and so it is also in the same position in 60 years. He also admitted that old data are not available to give the results for several cycles yet he does not hesitate to claim exactly 61 year cycle (ie 61 X 12 = 732 months cycle) and he has not mentioned any variance of even a month in that. What an unscientific approach? Please be careful of correspondence with him as he does not hesitate to twist matters if that suits him.Regards,Sunil K.Bhattacharjya--- On Mon, 4/6/09, vinayjhaa16 <vinayjhaa16@ > wrote:vinayjhaa16 <vinayjhaa16@ > Re: Greeks vs Indians <HOLY JEUS!>Monday, April 6, 2009, 4:14 AM

 

TO ALL :

 

An astrological issue of great importance is being declared to be

non-astrological.

 

I am amused to find the same team here united against me without any

reason and with abuses, which fruatrated my attempts to discuss anything

worthwhile in AIA. I am surprised at their teamspirit and want to point

out the underlying causes which is the cementing force uniting them, and

what harm they are doing to astrology.

 

First of all, I will like to answer Bhaskarji's charge that I am abusing

all astrologers as chaandaalas without providing any refernce to

Manusmriti and MBh. In answer, I am quoting recent mail of Sunilji in

this thread "Kaulji said that the astrologers are Chandalas without

knowing that any dishonest person in any profession is a Chandala. He

did not accept that astrology was known in the ancient times in India

though he himself said that Manu mentioned that astrologers are not to

be invited to participate in Devakarya and Pitrikarya and he was

withholding the fact the physicians and the temple priest are also not

to be invited for ......"

 

It was Kaulji who said all astrologers are chaandaalas according to

Manusmriti. Sunilji corerected him by adding that according to Manu not

only all astrologers but all physicians and all temple priests are also

chaandaalas. I countered this misinterpretation of Manusmriti by

Sunilji, and said that only those astrologers, physicians and priests

were declared to be chaandaalas who made a living out of these

professions. This is literal meaning. In my view, astrologers and others

need money to live in this world and therefore have a right to accept

dakshinaa. I know a large number of pandits who adhere to this principle

and accept dakshinaa but do not ask for fees. I could have accepted

dakshinaas had I not been provided with alternative source for

livlihood. Hence, the real sense of manusmriti must have been that only

thugs are chaandaalas who pose as astrologers & c but are actually after

the pockets of their clients. It is strange that Bhaskarji is forgiving

Sunulji who made false and derogatory remarks against all astrologers

& c, and is inciting all members here on false pretexts. I merely

corrected Sunilji who was making a misinterpretation. Why Bhaskarji does

not ask Sunilji to provide the verse, which will make it clear who is

lying about Manusmriti and who is leveling false charge on me ? Instead,

Bhaskarji call me a hypocrite and concludes that I have "nothing to

offer".

 

Neelamji joined the fray against me, as she did in AIA, concluding that

my mails have "any nugget of worth", repeating Bhaskarji's charge that I

am good for nothing, and sympathising with Bhaskarji's false charges

against me that I call all astrologers as chaandaalas ("It is painful to

see a scholar like Vinay ji use such terminology which has no basis in

any Shastra"). I am being charged of what was actually said by Sunilji,

whom Neelamji hails as a good umpire to judge me (earlier she had hailed

Chandrahariji who could pass a verdict on me). Now, Sreenadhji has also

joined in this fray ( cf.

http://dir.groups. / group/JyotishGro up/message/ 22847 : "Does

those parasites in search of a free meal will feed the family of the

astrologer or what?!". Although I adhere to strict rules of sanyasa, I

need not beg for free meals because I have permanent source of income.

But I am a parasite, because I distribute my works freely !! These same

people have abused all astrologers who are now falsely blaming me for

doing so, I only corrected the reference. These people do not know how

to quote, how to read and how to behave in a forum.

 

Neelam Gupta is a liar because she charges me of offering "a second line

of predictive astrology". I had made it clear in AIA and in my website

that I strictly adhere to Parashara's predictive astrology (BPHS & c)..

Why she is leveling a false charge on me ? These persons want to ban

("shun" as bhaskarji said) a person like me who is advocating the rules

of sages in the field of Vedic Astrrology. Neelam Gupta should ask

Sunilji to stop diverting the discussion away from astrology. Instead,

she is accusing me of this diversion. I never liked any discussion on

history, because I am basically a software developer and lengthy

discussion not related to current problems of practical astrology

hampers my work. But those very persons are charging me of diversion who

are themselves guilty of diverting the topic on astrology to history or

to wine and even to sex (I have in store previous mails of these

fellows, some of which contained nothing but obscene abuses to my mother

and sister). In AIA, I had also quoted a message from PVR Narasimhaji,

supported by Sanjay Rath ji, which said that the team of Chandrahariji

is too dogmatic to listen to others. This same team is after my flesh

and blood now.

 

Lastly, I must answer the useless message of Sunilji who is hellbent on

diverting astrological discussions to other things merely with a view to

malign me and get me banned.He wants a discussion on my technical paper

on weather forecasting and teleconnections in an astrological forum. How

many members here know the meaning of "teleconnections" in weather

science ? I am sorry to note that Sunilji regards a difference of 1.7

years as merely "a fraction of a year"!! He rejects the very existence

of 61-year ctcle because he fails to understand a scientific paper. His

first charge is I had "not given any substantive data". I worked on

already existing data of IITM ,Pune which I cited in reference-10 which

were originally for 1871-1978 but are constantly being updated (I also

used 1813-2007 dataset from IITM, but it was only for ISMR and not for

whole years, hence I could not use it properly). Sunilji can get these

datasest from IITM (Pune) and check for himself whether I worked without

authentic data or not. Why should I fill up my paper with data well

known to weather scientists ? I was asked my referees to remove well

known items in order to present only new things. I lucidly explained in

my paper how I used and analyzed that dataset.

 

His second charge is that I gave no repeat cycles and gave no dates of

any particular year in my paper. Either his eyesight is defective or his

intentions are far from sincere. I gave comparison of two cycles in six

figures, of three cycles in one figure and of four cycles in one figure

( Fig-1,2,3,4, 6,7,9) . Annual data of only 136 years are availabe in the

case of India, which could facilitate comparision of only two whole

cycles of 61 years, and partial comparison of three cycles (1813-2007

dataset can give more span but less reliability due lack of whole year's

data). Surprisingly, Sunilji asks me to work on "at least two or three

centuries" ; he does not even know that rainfall data for India does not

exist for so long periods. Clearly, he is a novice in this field, but

Neelamji thanks him for "volunteering to be the good umpire" ! The

referees of IISc or experts of NASA were unfit, and a chemist like

Sunilji should judge my work ! Why he does not inform the referees of

CAOS, IISc that they erred in selecting my paper ?

 

Sunilji falsely says that my paper does not give years clearly. My paper

(

http://weatherindia .wetpaint. com/page/ A+New+approach+ to+Rain+Forecast ing

) says : "1957 AD is numbered 87 (= 1957 - 1870 ) and will be found in

the second series in blue . When the second curve was superimposed upon

the first one, shape of both waveforms coincided in a majority of cases

when the gap between both series was chosen to be 61 years. Waveform of

1891-1923 ( year nos. 21-53 ) had an similarity in shape with that of

1952-1984 ( year numbers 82-114) in 25 out of 33 years , only 8 years

were out of phase. " Even a cursory glance at Fig-2 in my paper will

convince any unbiased onlooker that annual rainfall waveform replicate

the waveform of 61-years away for 50% of the time, even if we change 61

to 60 or to 62, this replication will cease. Why Sunilji deliberately

falsifies an important discovery is not difficult to guess. He has a

prejuduce for 60-year Jovian cycle, and cannot accept any new fact

against his prejudice. The Jovian cycle is quite different from the

solar cycle of 61 years. Due to his prejudices, Sunilji is deliberately

falsifying data and facts. He says about me "He does not even know how

to write a scientific paper properly and to report authentically. "

Unfortunately, it is Sunilji whio does not even know how to read a

scientific paper properly and to report honestly..

 

As for the date of Kalidasa, I do not know his arguments for his dating

of Kalidasa in 8th century BC. I have no access to his full paper, I got

a passage quoted in another person's work. Hence, I neither accept nor

refute his dating. But my knowledge of Sunilji's "scientific" temper

leads me to suspect his dating has no substantiation. He had said that

Suryasiddhanta had one hundred thousand verses. He makes wild statements

and does not cite sources. I am repeating my earlier statement that the

true date of Kalidasa can be judged only by procuring some old prints of

Ritusamhara which contained a verse at the end stating the date and

tithi, but era was not stated ; later publishers omitted this verse

because they thought a text of literature should not contain a

mathematical verse about dating written in archaic astrological

language. I have a photocopy of that page, the worn out book is in the

possession of an elderly person. Unfortunately, Sunilji pokes fun at all

my statements without any reason. It is asign of his bizarre

"scientific" attitude !

 

He is misguided by his ignorance in saying "Vinayji is wrong when he

says that INSA (India National Science Academy) papers are not

peer-reviewed. " I never said Chandrahariji' s papers were not published

in peer-reviewed journals, I said that Chandrahariji published his wrong

interprewtations of Suryasiddhanta in journals whose panel included

peers of other disciplines, not a singlr expert of Suryasiddhanta was

there. I can prove this statement in a court of law, as I have already

done. There is no other cure for liars who pose as experts of texts

which they do not understand. Neelamji is a light minded person who

thinks the fundamental texts of Indian astrology should not be discussed

and monsoon-cycles have nothiong to do with astrology. If she has no

interest in serious issues, she can keep away from these topics and

forget me. But no, the friends of Chandrahariji have a mission : they

want to modify the meaning of Suryasiddhanta which is not possible as

long as I am here. Hence, I must be hanged or fired.

 

Friends, wait for some time. I am going to dispel all this fog created

by a small team (from AIA), for which I need some time, for translating

my works into English. Ancient Indian mundane astrology was a great

science, which I want to bring to fore ; it will help in individual

horoscopy as well. I have discovered nothing new. What Neelamji wants to

ban is not "my" method, my only crime is that I made a free software out

of this ancient method, which forms the bedrock of Jyotishaachaarya

curriculum in all Sanskrit universities. Some supposedly "scientific"

persons think all ancient things must be discarded, hence this hue and

cry against me without even testing my free software !! Let them forget

me and my software, why waste so much of time over me ?

Dear Sunilda,

 

Please kindly call me rohini, henceforth :-)

If my own Dada, who was a gift in this lifetime to me and an absolutely

unattainable Role Model, were alive today he would be about your age...

 

Age aside, your wonderful accomplishments in science and particularly Chemistry

that has always been so endearing to me, if only I had the brains for it :-) --

is wonderful to hear. Jyotish can certainly benefit from more scientists, from

all disciplines -- and that is the catchword! Most people think and assume that

scientists are simply disorganized, though creative geniuses who forget what or

when they ate last or where they kept their socks (absent-minded professor

stereotype!) but little does the general public realizes how ridiculously

simplistic that perception is.

 

It is commendable that after spending a long career in an intensive pursuit such

as science is, you have chosen to focus your vast experience and readily obvious

superior mental acumen to the pursuit of astrology/astronomy and to get to the

roots of it. Actually to the roots of humanity in a sense! WE ALL sometimes

overlook and ignore the obvious fact that at one time, long long long long time

ago, there must have been just a few humans and not billions who were just

carted down to planet earth in some space-shape as some newage SCI-FI lore has

tried to convince us from time to time (since early 90's at least since I had

been observing that ground-swell).

 

Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam was not an empty phrase, a mere pleasantry that was penned

by some Ancient Elder just to assuage tensions or a 'feel-good' affirmation -- I

think it was simply an expression of " knowing " , a wisdom that could only have

come from a Parental Divine Source!

As Sreenadhji invited him to AIA he thought that everybody would worship him

there without questioning. He claimed that he alone has the secret knowledge of

Suryasiddhanta and he went on telling about such things, which he could not

substantiate. However he was in for surprise as AIA, like any other sensible

fora, the AIA members would not tolerate any baseless statement.

Dear Rohini,

 

Thank you for the good words.

 

Yes the Rig Veda says that we are all brothers. But sometimes conflict does

occur like it happened in the Mahabharata days and it happens these days too. We

have to voice our concern and cannot remain indifferent to any wrong-doing. Then

leave it at that. I think that this age is such that all knowledge will spread

and people will be benefitted.

 

Best wishes,

 

Sunil K. Bhattacharjya

Dear Sunilda,

 

Please kindly call me rohini, henceforth :-)

If my own Dada, who was a gift in this lifetime to me and an absolutely

unattainable Role Model, were alive today he would be about your age...

 

Age aside, your wonderful accomplishments in science and particularly Chemistry

that has always been so endearing to me, if only I had the brains for it :-) --

is wonderful to hear. Jyotish can certainly benefit from more scientists, from

all disciplines -- and that is the catchword! Most people think and assume that

scientists are simply disorganized, though creative geniuses who forget what or

when they ate last or where they kept their socks (absent-minded professor

stereotype!) but little does the general public realizes how ridiculously

simplistic that perception is.

 

It is commendable that after spending a long career in an intensive pursuit such

as science is, you have chosen to focus your vast experience and readily obvious

superior mental acumen to the pursuit of astrology/astronomy and to get to the

roots of it. Actually to the roots of humanity in a sense! WE ALL sometimes

overlook and ignore the obvious fact that at one time, long long long long time

ago, there must have been just a few humans and not billions who were just

carted down to planet earth in some space-shape as some newage SCI-FI lore has

tried to convince us from time to time (since early 90's at least since I had

been observing that ground-swell) .

 

Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam was not an empty phrase, a mere pleasantry that was penned

by some Ancient Elder just to assuage tensions or a 'feel-good' affirmation -- I

think it was simply an expression of " knowing " , a wisdom that could only have

come from a Parental Divine Source!

later, ie. towards the end of my career, I changed my field to Environmental

engineering. I have interest in Indian Philosophy, Ancient Indian History and 

in Jyotish Shastra. In Jyotish shastra I have equal interest interest in Hindu

astronomy and Hindu astrology. But astrology is really a big subject and in that

I am somewhat like a beginner but I have come to realize the utility of Astrlogy

and see that sooner the world realises its value better it will be. Astrology ia

a boon to the humanity  and that is why, even though I am not an expert in

astrology, I do not like anybody condemning astrology without any basis like

Shri Avtar Krishen Kaul  isdoing. I came to know about Shri Vinay Jha first time

in the AIA forum and he somehow

> extricated himself from the bad situation he created for himself in the AIA.

As Sreenadhji invited him to AIA he thought that everybody would worship him

there without questioning. He claimed that he alone has the secret knowledge of

Suryasiddhanta and he went on telling about such things, which he could not

substantiate. However he was in for surprise as AIA, like any other sensible

fora, the AIA members would not tolerate any baseless statement.

At 4:40 AM GMT today, I made following reply to Sunilji's wrong interpretations

of Manusmriti as well as of my messages, which did not appear in common mailbox,

hence I am posting it again :

>>>>>>>>>> To Sunilji :

According to Manusmriti, " apaankta " brahmin was not only prevented from sitting

among pure brahmins during a shraaddha feast but was not even allowed to see

good brahmins eating in such feasts (iii, 178) ; such a treatment was meted out

to chaandalas in those days, who were similarly segregated during such feasts.

Mahabharata uses the term pankti-dooshaka instead of Manusmriti's " apaankta " ,

but in the same sense. Manusmriti uses the term " pankti-paavana " an an antonym

for " apaankta " , hence " apaankta " is a synonymnfor pankti-dooshaka " , which is

used in MBh together with the term " chaandaala " for such persons. But who are

these " apaankta " persons ? Sunilji and Kaulji say astrologers were " apaankta "

persons, which is not true. Manusmriti has made no derogatory reference to

Jyotishi, even once. On the contrary, in Mn.iii.183-185, knower of six

Vedaangas are declared to be pankti-paavana brahmins, which proves that

Manusmriti regards Jyotishi as a " pankti-paavana " , which is opposite to

" apaankta " or pankti-dooshakas. The verse which forbids socalled astrologers

from sitting in a shraaddha feast (Mn, iii, 162) uses the word " nakshatreyashcha

jeevati " which is same as nakshatrajeevee. Nakshatrajeevees are

pankti-dooshakas and Jyotishis are pankti-paavanas according to Manusmriti.

Nakshatrajeevees are derided in other ancient texts too, and they are never

eulogized in any ancient text I have ever read. Nakshatrajeevees were not

regarded as astrologers, they were viewed as cheats who rob people by

masquerading as astrologers. They were equated with chaandaalas in MBh. The

fault lies in western translators. Buhler translated Nakshatrajeevee as

" astrologer " . Kaulji was cheated by relying on wrong translations, and Sunilji

followed the same wrong line. Nakshatrajeevees are different from astrologer,

the latter was denoted by the revered term " jyotishi " in all ancient texts

including Manusmriti and MBh. Similarly, all temple-priests are not derided in

Manusmriti, please read the Mn-iii to get the fuller sense on Manusmriti.

Sunilji should read properly. He misreads Manusmriti, MBh and he similarly

misreads my paper on 61-year cycle. I know he is not a dishonest person, he is

being carried by uncontrolled anger against me. Any term must be defined in its

proper context only. We have no right to impose our meanings on ancient terms.

While dealing with ancient texts, we must not forget that these texts were

written in contexts and milieus vastly different from ours.

 

Sunilji's attitude and language is turning from bad to worse. If he calms down a

bit, he may see differently. He fails to see why an anti-astrology person should

devote his life to develop free astrological softwares based on ancient

predictive principles ; my only " crime " is that among the myriads of softwares I

developed, I found that Suryasiddhantic Ganita combined with Parashara Phalita

best suits the purposes of predictive astrology. Before delving into

Suryasiddhanta, I used astrological softwares developed by others and then

developed astrological softwares based on modern astronomy myself, but they did

not give accurate Vimshottari timings and divisionals were also not

satisfactory. Other software developers also know this problem, that is why they

are experimenting with various types of year lengths for Vimshottari and with

various values of ayanamsha. Sunilji is not interested in these real problems of

astrology and is merely interested in solutions of practical problems through

word duels, which is a mere wastage of time.

 

When Sunilji's unwarranted anger against me subsides, I will request him to read

my paper on 61-year cycle again. At present, he is not in a mood to understand

it properly, and is driven with a wish to refute each and every word from me. I

hope the scientist within him will eventually overcome his unfounded anger. I

tried to use some harsh words in order to compel him to pay heed to facts, but I

failed. I, therefore, apologize for using harsh words, and request him to drop

this thread at present, and discuss the matters after a few days when he calms

down. I know I am much younger to him, but he does not know he is

misinterpreting almost every sentence from me due to anger.

 

with regards,

-VJ <<<<<<<<<<

 

I got the following reply from Sunil ji :

" A liar wants to extricate himself by attributing his own mistakes to others

and rejoices. Only a spineless and gutless man is unable to admit his own

mistake. A liar is worse than a chandala. "

 

My answer is:

 

What a " scientific method " and " honourable manner " !! I will not take a refuge

in abusing those who abuse me, because I have better words whose worth will be

decided by Time. Nakshatrasoochakas are different from Jyotishis, which Sunilji

does not understand.

 

Sunilji said : " Vinayji has given only calendar years and he has not mentioned

the months in his paper on monsoon cycles " . I explained the method and my

experiments with all types of years beginning with Jan, feb, Mar, etc, and found

that year beginning with April gives best results as far as long term cyclical

patterns in Monsoons are concerned. Yet he says I said nothing about months

!Either Sunilji is not interested in or not proficient ib this field, or is

deliberately distoring facts. Figures in my papers clearly indicate whether I

use year beginning with January or with April. Two curves superimposed upon each

other have exact difference of 61 years. For 50% of this cycle, repetitive

pattern is clear, for the remaining chaotic half, there is no trace of any

cyclicity. By confusing this 61-year solar cycle with 60-year Jovian cycle (59.3

solar years), does Sunil ji wants to believe that Jovian cycle is true only for

50% and false for the rest 50% ?

Jupiter, Sun and Moon do not return to the same position at the end of 60 years,

60 jovian years are equal to 59.305 solar years, difference is of over 250

degrees or 0.7 years, which is over 8 rashis ! Astrologers make varshaphala at

mesha samkraantis. Error of over 8 rashis will destroy this method. Saturn

completes two cucles in 59 and not in 60 years. A real scientist should not be

so crude.

sometimes overlook and ignore the obvious fact that at one time, long long long

long time ago, there must have been just a few humans and not billions who were

just carted down to planet earth in some space-shape as some newage SCI-FI lore

has tried to convince us from time to time (since early 90's at least since I

had been observing that ground-swell) .

in Jyotish Shastra. In Jyotish shastra I have equal interest interest in Hindu

astronomy and Hindu astrology. But astrology is really a big subject and in that

I am somewhat like a beginner but I have come to realize the utility of Astrlogy

and see that sooner the world realises its value better it will be. Astrology ia

a boon to the humanity  and that is why, even though I am not an expert in

astrology, I do not like anybody condemning astrology without any basis like

Shri Avtar Krishen Kaul  isdoing. I came to know about Shri Vinay Jha first time

in the AIA forum and he somehow

As Sreenadhji invited him to AIA he thought that everybody would worship him

there without questioning. He claimed that he alone has the secret knowledge of

Suryasiddhanta and he went on telling about such things, which he could not

substantiate. However he was in for surprise as AIA, like any other sensible

fora, the AIA members would not tolerate any baseless statement.

Dear Bhaskarji and Neelamji,

 

You can now see how Vinayji is lying. My mails are there to show what I said. I

do not know if his past Marxist background has anything to do with this

anti-astrology attitude. His unsubstantiated (hence false) claims that he alone

understands the true meaning of the Suryasiddhanta because of his tapasya is

only meant to make people lose their faith in the Suryasiddhanta. He is in the

same league as Kaulji. He cannot give you any reference from Manu Smriti as Manu

never said that astrologers are chandalas. What Manu said was that the

astrologers, physicians , temple priests and people of several other professions

are barred from being invited to Devakarya and Pitrukarya. Only

non-professionals like poor intellectuals were to be invited and the given food

and dakshina. . Vinayji claimed that in Mahabharata also the astrologers are

called Chandala. It is another lie and he cannot give any verse to you. I think

Chandrahariji was right in what all he said

about him.

 

Vinayji has given only calendar years and he has not mentioned the months in his

paper on monsoon cycles and that is fallacious. For example January 1901 to

December 1960 may appear to be 59 years years but it is actually near 60

years than 59. Similarly December 1901 to January 1962 may appear to be 61 years

but actually it is more near 60 years. He just wanted to hoodwink the audience.

i am sure the audience wasamused but did not bother to give any importance to

what he said. Monsoon is what decides the crop and he is denying the role ofÂ

the return of Jupiter, the Sun amd the Moon at the end of 60 years to the same

position convinces me that he does not understand the role of the grahas and

so he does not really understand astrology at all. Even the Saturn completes two

cycles in 60 years and so it is also in the same position in 60 years. He also

admitted that old data are not available to give the results for several cycles

yet he does

not hesitate to claim exactly 61 year cycle (ie 61 X 12 = 732 months cycle) and

he has not mentioned any variance of even a month in that. What an unscientific

approach?Â

 

Please be careful of correspondence with him as he does not hesitate to twist

matters if that suits him.

 

Regards,

 

Sunil K.Bhattacharjya

TO ALL :

 

An astrological issue of great importance is being declared to be

non-astrological.

 

I am amused to find the same team here united against me without any

reason and with abuses, which fruatrated my attempts to discuss anything

worthwhile in AIA. I am surprised at their teamspirit and want to point

out the underlying causes which is the cementing force uniting them, and

what harm they are doing to astrology.

 

First of all, I will like to answer Bhaskarji's charge that I am abusing

all astrologers as chaandaalas without providing any refernce to

Manusmriti and MBh. In answer, I am quoting recent mail of Sunilji in

this thread " Kaulji said that the astrologers are Chandalas without

knowing that any dishonest person in any profession is a Chandala. He

did not accept that astrology was known in the ancient times in India

though he himself said that Manu mentioned that astrologers are not to

be invited to participate in Devakarya and Pitrikarya and he was

withholding the fact the physicians and the temple priest are also not

to be invited for ...... "

 

It was Kaulji who said all astrologers are chaandaalas according to

Manusmriti. Sunilji corerected him by adding that according to Manu not

only all astrologers but all physicians and all temple priests are also

chaandaalas. I countered this misinterpretation of Manusmriti by

Sunilji, and said that only those astrologers, physicians and priests

were declared to be chaandaalas who made a living out of these

professions. This is literal meaning. In my view, astrologers and others

need money to live in this world and therefore have a right to accept

dakshinaa. I know a large number of pandits who adhere to this principle

and accept dakshinaa but do not ask for fees. I could have accepted

dakshinaas had I not been provided with alternative source for

livlihood. Hence, the real sense of manusmriti must have been that only

thugs are chaandaalas who pose as astrologers & c but are actually after

the pockets of their clients. It is strange that Bhaskarji is forgiving

Sunulji who made false and derogatory remarks against all astrologers

& c, and is inciting all members here on false pretexts. I merely

corrected Sunilji who was making a misinterpretation. Why Bhaskarji does

not ask Sunilji to provide the verse, which will make it clear who is

lying about Manusmriti and who is leveling false charge on me ? Instead,

Bhaskarji call me a hypocrite and concludes that I have " nothing to

offer " .

 

Neelamji joined the fray against me, as she did in AIA, concluding that

my mails have " any nugget of worth " , repeating Bhaskarji's charge that I

am good for nothing, and sympathising with Bhaskarji's false charges

against me that I call all astrologers as chaandaalas ( " It is painful to

see a scholar like Vinay ji use such terminology which has no basis in

any Shastra " ). I am being charged of what was actually said by Sunilji,

whom Neelamji hails as a good umpire to judge me (earlier she had hailed

Chandrahariji who could pass a verdict on me). Now, Sreenadhji has also

joined in this fray ( cf.

http://dir.groups. / group/JyotishGro up/message/ 22847 : " Does

those parasites in search of a free meal will feed the family of the

astrologer or what?! " . Although I adhere to strict rules of sanyasa, I

need not beg for free meals because I have permanent source of income.

But I am a parasite, because I distribute my works freely !! These same

people have abused all astrologers who are now falsely blaming me for

doing so, I only corrected the reference. These people do not know how

to quote, how to read and how to behave in a forum.

 

Neelam Gupta is a liar because she charges me of offering " a second line

of predictive astrology " . I had made it clear in AIA and in my website

that I strictly adhere to Parashara's predictive astrology (BPHS & c).

Why she is leveling a false charge on me ? These persons want to ban

( " shun " as bhaskarji said) a person like me who is advocating the rules

of sages in the field of Vedic Astrrology. Neelam Gupta should ask

Sunilji to stop diverting the discussion away from astrology. Instead,

she is accusing me of this diversion. I never liked any discussion on

history, because I am basically a software developer and lengthy

discussion not related to current problems of practical astrology

hampers my work. But those very persons are charging me of diversion who

are themselves guilty of diverting the topic on astrology to history or

to wine and even to sex (I have in store previous mails of these

fellows, some of which contained nothing but obscene abuses to my mother

and sister). In AIA, I had also quoted a message from PVR Narasimhaji,

supported by Sanjay Rath ji, which said that the team of Chandrahariji

is too dogmatic to listen to others. This same team is after my flesh

and blood now.

 

Lastly, I must answer the useless message of Sunilji who is hellbent on

diverting astrological discussions to other things merely with a view to

malign me and get me banned.He wants a discussion on my technical paper

on weather forecasting and teleconnections in an astrological forum. How

many members here know the meaning of " teleconnections " in weather

science ? I am sorry to note that Sunilji regards a difference of 1.7

years as merely " a fraction of a year " !! He rejects the very existence

of 61-year ctcle because he fails to understand a scientific paper. His

first charge is I had " not given any substantive data " . I worked on

already existing data of IITM ,Pune which I cited in reference-10 which

were originally for 1871-1978 but are constantly being updated (I also

used 1813-2007 dataset from IITM, but it was only for ISMR and not for

whole years, hence I could not use it properly). Sunilji can get these

datasest from IITM (Pune) and check for himself whether I worked without

authentic data or not. Why should I fill up my paper with data well

known to weather scientists ? I was asked my referees to remove well

known items in order to present only new things. I lucidly explained in

my paper how I used and analyzed that dataset.

 

His second charge is that I gave no repeat cycles and gave no dates of

any particular year in my paper. Either his eyesight is defective or his

intentions are far from sincere. I gave comparison of two cycles in six

figures, of three cycles in one figure and of four cycles in one figure

( Fig-1,2,3,4, 6,7,9) . Annual data of only 136 years are availabe in the

case of India, which could facilitate comparision of only two whole

cycles of 61 years, and partial comparison of three cycles (1813-2007

dataset can give more span but less reliability due lack of whole year's

data). Surprisingly, Sunilji asks me to work on " at least two or three

centuries " ; he does not even know that rainfall data for India does not

exist for so long periods. Clearly, he is a novice in this field, but

Neelamji thanks him for " volunteering to be the good umpire " ! The

referees of IISc or experts of NASA were unfit, and a chemist like

Sunilji should judge my work ! Why he does not inform the referees of

CAOS, IISc that they erred in selecting my paper ?

 

Sunilji falsely says that my paper does not give years clearly. My paper

(

http://weatherindia .wetpaint. com/page/ A+New+approach+ to+Rain+Forecast ing

) says : " 1957 AD is numbered 87 (= 1957 - 1870 ) and will be found in

the second series in blue . When the second curve was superimposed upon

the first one, shape of both waveforms coincided in a majority of cases

when the gap between both series was chosen to be 61 years. Waveform of

1891-1923 ( year nos. 21-53 ) had an similarity in shape with that of

1952-1984 ( year numbers 82-114) in 25 out of 33 years , only 8 years

were out of phase. " Even a cursory glance at Fig-2 in my paper will

convince any unbiased onlooker that annual rainfall waveform replicate

the waveform of 61-years away for 50% of the time, even if we change 61

to 60 or to 62, this replication will cease. Why Sunilji deliberately

falsifies an important discovery is not difficult to guess. He has a

prejuduce for 60-year Jovian cycle, and cannot accept any new fact

against his prejudice. The Jovian cycle is quite different from the

solar cycle of 61 years. Due to his prejudices, Sunilji is deliberately

falsifying data and facts. He says about me " He does not even know how

to write a scientific paper properly and to report authentically. "

Unfortunately, it is Sunilji whio does not even know how to read a

scientific paper properly and to report honestly.

 

As for the date of Kalidasa, I do not know his arguments for his dating

of Kalidasa in 8th century BC. I have no access to his full paper, I got

a passage quoted in another person's work. Hence, I neither accept nor

refute his dating. But my knowledge of Sunilji's " scientific " temper

leads me to suspect his dating has no substantiation. He had said that

Suryasiddhanta had one hundred thousand verses. He makes wild statements

and does not cite sources. I am repeating my earlier statement that the

true date of Kalidasa can be judged only by procuring some old prints of

Ritusamhara which contained a verse at the end stating the date and

tithi, but era was not stated ; later publishers omitted this verse

because they thought a text of literature should not contain a

mathematical verse about dating written in archaic astrological

language. I have a photocopy of that page, the worn out book is in the

possession of an elderly person. Unfortunately, Sunilji pokes fun at all

my statements without any reason. It is asign of his bizarre

" scientific " attitude !

 

He is misguided by his ignorance in saying " Vinayji is wrong when he

says that INSA (India National Science Academy) papers are not

peer-reviewed. " I never said Chandrahariji' s papers were not published

in peer-reviewed journals, I said that Chandrahariji published his wrong

interprewtations of Suryasiddhanta in journals whose panel included

peers of other disciplines, not a singlr expert of Suryasiddhanta was

there. I can prove this statement in a court of law, as I have already

done. There is no other cure for liars who pose as experts of texts

which they do not understand. Neelamji is a light minded person who

thinks the fundamental texts of Indian astrology should not be discussed

and monsoon-cycles have nothiong to do with astrology. If she has no

interest in serious issues, she can keep away from these topics and

forget me. But no, the friends of Chandrahariji have a mission : they

want to modify the meaning of Suryasiddhanta which is not possible as

long as I am here. Hence, I must be hanged or fired.

 

Friends, wait for some time. I am going to dispel all this fog created

by a small team (from AIA), for which I need some time, for translating

my works into English. Ancient Indian mundane astrology was a great

science, which I want to bring to fore ; it will help in individual

horoscopy as well. I have discovered nothing new. What Neelamji wants to

ban is not " my " method, my only crime is that I made a free software out

of this ancient method, which forms the bedrock of Jyotishaachaarya

curriculum in all Sanskrit universities. Some supposedly " scientific "

persons think all ancient things must be discarded, hence this hue and

cry against me without even testing my free software !! Let them forget

me and my software, why waste so much of time over me ?

At 4:40 AM GMT today, I made following reply to Sunilji's wrong interpretations

of Manusmriti as well as of my messages, which did not appear in common mailbox,

hence I am posting it again :

>>>>>>>>>> To Sunilji :

According to Manusmriti, " apaankta " brahmin was not only prevented from sitting

among pure brahmins during a shraaddha feast but was not even allowed to see

good brahmins eating in such feasts (iii, 178) ; such a treatment was meted out

to chaandalas in those days, who were similarly segregated during such feasts.

Mahabharata uses the term pankti-dooshaka instead of Manusmriti's " apaankta " ,

but in the same sense. Manusmriti uses the term " pankti-paavana " an an antonym

for " apaankta " , hence " apaankta " is a synonymnfor pankti-dooshaka " , which is

used in MBh together with the term " chaandaala " for such persons. But who are

these " apaankta " persons ? Sunilji and Kaulji say astrologers were " apaankta "

persons, which is not true. Manusmriti has made no derogatory reference to

Jyotishi, even once. On the contrary, in Mn..iii.183-185, knower of six

Vedaangas are declared to be pankti-paavana brahmins, which proves that

Manusmriti regards Jyotishi as a

" pankti-paavana " , which is opposite to " apaankta " or pankti-dooshakas. The

verse which forbids socalled astrologers from sitting in a shraaddha feast (Mn,

iii, 162) uses the word " nakshatreyashcha jeevati " which is same as

nakshatrajeevee. Nakshatrajeevees are pankti-dooshakas and Jyotishis are

pankti-paavanas according to Manusmriti. Nakshatrajeevees are derided in other

ancient texts too, and they are never eulogized in any ancient text I have ever

read. Nakshatrajeevees were not regarded as astrologers, they were viewed as

cheats who rob people by masquerading as astrologers. They were equated with

chaandaalas in MBh. The fault lies in western translators. Buhler translated

Nakshatrajeevee as " astrologer " . Kaulji was cheated by relying on wrong

translations, and Sunilji followed the same wrong line. Nakshatrajeevees are

different from astrologer, the latter was denoted by the revered term " jyotishi "

in all ancient texts including Manusmriti and

MBh. Similarly, all temple-priests are not derided in Manusmriti, please read

the Mn-iii to get the fuller sense on Manusmriti. Sunilji should read properly.

He misreads Manusmriti, MBh and he similarly misreads my paper on 61-year cycle.

I know he is not a dishonest person, he is being carried by uncontrolled anger

against me. Any term must be defined in its proper context only. We have no

right to impose our meanings on ancient terms. While dealing with ancient texts,

we must not forget that these texts were written in contexts and milieus vastly

different from ours.

 

Sunilji's attitude and language is turning from bad to worse. If he calms down a

bit, he may see differently. He fails to see why an anti-astrology person should

devote his life to develop free astrological softwares based on ancient

predictive principles ; my only " crime " is that among the myriads of softwares I

developed, I found that Suryasiddhantic Ganita combined with Parashara Phalita

best suits the purposes of predictive astrology. Before delving into

Suryasiddhanta, I used astrological softwares developed by others and then

developed astrological softwares based on modern astronomy myself, but they did

not give accurate Vimshottari timings and divisionals were also not

satisfactory. Other software developers also know this problem, that is why they

are experimenting with various types of year lengths for Vimshottari and with

various values of ayanamsha. Sunilji is not interested in these real problems of

astrology and is merely interested in

solutions of practical problems through word duels, which is a mere wastage of

time.

 

When Sunilji's unwarranted anger against me subsides, I will request him to read

my paper on 61-year cycle again. At present, he is not in a mood to understand

it properly, and is driven with a wish to refute each and every word from me. I

hope the scientist within him will eventually overcome his unfounded anger. I

tried to use some harsh words in order to compel him to pay heed to facts, but I

failed. I, therefore, apologize for using harsh words, and request him to drop

this thread at present, and discuss the matters after a few days when he calms

down. I know I am much younger to him, but he does not know he is

misinterpreting almost every sentence from me due to anger.

 

with regards,

-VJ <<<<<<<<<<

 

I got the following reply from Sunil ji :

" A liar wants to extricate himself by attributing his own mistakes to others and

rejoices. Only a spineless and gutless man is unable to admit his own mistake. A

liar is worse than a chandala. "

 

My answer is:

 

What a " scientific method " and " honourable manner " !! I will not take a refuge

in abusing those who abuse me, because I have better words whose worth will be

decided by Time. Nakshatrasoochakas are different from Jyotishis, which Sunilji

does not understand.

 

Sunilji said : " Vinayji has given only calendar years and he has not mentioned

the months in his paper on monsoon cycles " . I explained the method and my

experiments with all types of years beginning with Jan, feb, Mar, etc, and found

that year beginning with April gives best results as far as long term cyclical

patterns in Monsoons are concerned. Yet he says I said nothing about months

!Either Sunilji is not interested in or not proficient ib this field, or is

deliberately distoring facts. Figures in my papers clearly indicate whether I

use year beginning with January or with April. Two curves superimposed upon each

other have exact difference of 61 years. For 50% of this cycle, repetitive

pattern is clear, for the remaining chaotic half, there is no trace of any

cyclicity. By confusing this 61-year solar cycle with 60-year Jovian cycle (59.3

solar years), does Sunil ji wants to believe that Jovian cycle is true only for

50% and false for the rest 50% ?

Jupiter, Sun and Moon do not return to the same position at the end of 60 years,

60 jovian years are equal to 59.305 solar years, difference is of over 250

degrees or 0.7 years, which is over 8 rashis ! Astrologers make varshaphala at

mesha samkraantis. Error of over 8 rashis will destroy this method. Saturn

completes two cucles in 59 and not in 60 years. A real scientist should not be

so crude.

As Sreenadhji invited him to AIA he thought that everybody would worship him

there without questioning. He claimed that he alone has the secret knowledge of

Suryasiddhanta and he went on telling about such things, which he could not

substantiate. However he was in for surprise as AIA, like any other sensible

fora, the AIA members would not tolerate any baseless statement.

Sunil Da,

 

From your mouth to God's ears or at least to the Divinity that hides within all

of us -- which is what I believe the so called Life-Force is! When trapped in a

human shell of " maati " , the Divine force forms a living human being. Sadly, most

often the maati/earth takes over.

 

That said, I was always taken by the statement that I once read that in times of

Mahabharata, enemies -- who were really friends, relatives and Gurubhais etc --

used to visit enemy camps after sundown without fear! Now, not being versed in

ancient scriptural literature at all, perhaps such was not true and I am

mis-guided. Please correct me if that is the case, since I have addressed you as

Dada.

 

A peasant like me would wonder, " Is it the Sun that makes humans fight? When the

sun was up, the Mahabharata war was fierce and deadly, but when the Sun went

down -- the war vanished and everyone became friend-relative-gurubhai again!

What Maya! And they call Chandra, the Queen of the Night Mayavini! "

 

So confusing to an astrologer, indeed!

 

What is the truth?

 

Rohini

and people will be benefitted.

ridiculously simplistic that perception is.

sometimes overlook and ignore the obvious fact that at one time, long long long

long time ago, there must have been just a few humans and not billions who were

just carted down to planet earth in some space-shape as some newage SCI-FI lore

has tried to convince us from time to time (since early 90's at least since I

had been observing that ground-swell) .

in Jyotish Shastra. In Jyotish shastra I have equal interest interest in Hindu

astronomy and Hindu astrology. But astrology is really a big subject and in that

I am somewhat like a beginner but I have come to realize the utility of Astrlogy

and see that sooner the world realises its value better it will be. Astrology ia

a boon to the humanity  and that is why, even though I am not an expert in

astrology, I do not like anybody condemning astrology without any basis like

Shri Avtar Krishen Kaul  isdoing. I came to know about Shri Vinay Jha first time

in the AIA forum and he somehow

As Sreenadhji invited him to AIA he thought that everybody would worship him

there without questioning. He claimed that he alone has the secret knowledge of

Suryasiddhanta and he went on telling about such things, which he could not

substantiate. However he was in for surprise as AIA, like any other sensible

fora, the AIA members would not tolerate any baseless statement.

Dear Rohini,

 

Yes.  Manu, the first law-giver, had prescribed the rules of the war and one

rule among those was that a person must warn his opponent about the intention to

fight (ie. to fight it out, over whatever be the cause, for which fighting may

be considered necessary). A person has to fight only with the opponent only

if the latter is prepared for the fight. One should not attack an unarmed

opponent, even though there is enmity between them.  You might have read in the

Bhagavad Gita that at the end of the first chapter Arjuna laid down his arms.

Then in the beginning of the next (ie.second) chapter he requested Lord Krishna

for guidance and the Lord could impart the lessons of the Bhagavad Gita to

Arjuna, even though it was in the middle of the battle field, simply because

Arjuna was unarmed and Bhishma, the commander of the Kaurava army, was  a

law-abiding person and he  would not allow any attack from the Kaurava side on

the unarmed

Arjuna. Many scholars, who do not know this, wonder as to how the Bhagavad

Gita could have been delivered in the battle-field.

 

Manu gave some more rules for the war. Then just before the Mahabharata war some

additional rules were made, such as that after the battle is over for the

day all would be friends again till the battle was resumed on the next day. In

Mahabharata you will find that after framing these rules they themselves were

surprised that they have made such rules.These rules were strictly observed till

Bhishma was in command and later on however there were many breaches of the

rules.

 

One thing stands out from this that the Bharat-vashis of those times believed

that fighting may be necessary over some issues but basically all are friends.

Of course there were some black sheeps like Duryodhana who did not inherently

believe in the rules as he made his own rules and in the end he did not gain

anything by that attitude.

 

As regards your second query the Sun is the source of all energy and all

interplay of energy is possible due to the Sun. Curiously it is said that the

number one (numerologically) people are generally more energetic than the other

people, when the Sun rises and they become tired or lethargic towards the end of

the day when the Sun sets. Please let me know if you have observed any such

thing. The Sun is the giver of knowledge too. Yajnavalkya got his Vedic

knowledge from the Sun. Mayasura and even Hanuman were  said to have received

the knowledge of Astrology from the Sun. The Sun spurs all of us to learn things

and to do things while the Moon being the ruler of mind allows us to think and

retrospect. We have to respect the role of both the Sun and the Moon in our

life.

 

I do not know if what I wrote would be of help. I was quite curious to know that

you have a Chemistry background too. Can you please let me know more about you

and what are your interests.

 

Best wishes,

 

Sunil K. Bhattacharjya.

Sunil Da,

 

From your mouth to God's ears or at least to the Divinity that hides within all

of us -- which is what I believe the so called Life-Force is! When trapped in a

human shell of " maati " , the Divine force forms a living human being. Sadly, most

often the maati/earth takes over.

 

That said, I was always taken by the statement that I once read that in times of

Mahabharata, enemies -- who were really friends, relatives and Gurubhais etc --

used to visit enemy camps after sundown without fear! Now, not being versed in

ancient scriptural literature at all, perhaps such was not true and I am

mis-guided. Please correct me if that is the case, since I have addressed you as

Dada.

 

A peasant like me would wonder, " Is it the Sun that makes humans fight? When the

sun was up, the Mahabharata war was fierce and deadly, but when the Sun went

down -- the war vanished and everyone became friend-relative- gurubhai again!

What Maya! And they call Chandra, the Queen of the Night Mayavini! "

 

So confusing to an astrologer, indeed!

 

What is the truth?

 

Rohini

and people will be benefitted.

sometimes overlook and ignore the obvious fact that at one time, long long long

long time ago, there must have been just a few humans and not billions who were

just carted down to planet earth in some space-shape as some newage SCI-FI lore

has tried to convince us from time to time (since early 90's at least since I

had been observing that ground-swell) .

I am somewhat like a beginner but I have come to realize the utility of Astrlogy

and see that sooner the world realises its value better it will be. Astrology ia

a boon to the humanity  and that is why, even though I am not an expert in

astrology, I do not like anybody condemning astrology without any basis like

Shri Avtar Krishen Kaul  isdoing. I came to know about Shri Vinay Jha first time

in the AIA forum and he somehow

As Sreenadhji invited him to AIA he thought that everybody would worship him

there without questioning. He claimed that he alone has the secret knowledge of

Suryasiddhanta and he went on telling about such things, which he could not

substantiate. However he was in for surprise as AIA, like any other sensible

fora, the AIA members would not tolerate any baseless statement.

Raj ji,

 

Depends on whether one is watching it from the 1 or 7 -- perspective!

Interestingly it is not a view from the north vs south pole but more like East

vs West! Roughly twelve hours apart but at the very same instant! Isn't that

interesting? Where else could it happen but on planet earth!

 

Actually, it can happen on any planet, but this one, earth, has humans that make

it significant through their observation!

 

As they say, " Trees falling in remote forests do not make any noise! "

 

or the more colourful expression, " jangal may More naacha... "

BROTHERS ???

 

Sunil ji said : " the Rig Veda says that we are all brothers. "

 

It is a very good idea of Sunil ji for which I support him, excepting for the

fact that Rgveda never said so. There are 33 references to /bhraatr// in entire

Rgveda in all its possible declinations. In 32 instances, it is used for the

Sun, and in the 33rd instance, it is used for the son of Vivasvaana Sun named

Vaivasvata Yama who was also a brother of Yami (twin). All traditional

grammarians deduced it from the root //bhraash// which means " to shine " , and

has forms like bhraach and bhraaj too. A brother never shines, but the Sun

shines. The original Vedic meaning of bhraatr was " a Sun (because it shines) " ,

and " brother " is a later Laukika meaning. Saayana surmised that bhraatr in

Rgveda might be related to //bhr// , but //bhr// is related to bhartaa which

means husband. A father bears/sustains, and then husband sustains, not the

brother. But the Sun shines as well as sustains everything alive. Hence, the

Rgveda says none of us are brothers, only

the Sun is a bhraatr, and at one place (RV, X,10) its son is also a bhraatr.

We should not impose our laukika meanings upon Vedic meanings. I hope Sunil ji

will take this remark in a positive manner, and will try to consult the original

verses instead of relying upon translations by mlechchhas.

 

-VJ

Dear Shri Vinayji,

 

Thanks for so good clarifications.

 

Please continue with shedding knowledge on us.

 

Please dont mind with the mails of 'sunil_bhattacharjy a' as we all know he

talks with out and proof.He has to write anything that is all with him.But

please you continue with your knowledge as he is giving opportunity to let you

prove yourself as good and sound scholar.

 

Please continue.

 

Luv and Regards

Re: Greeks vs Indians <HOLY JEUS!>

 

Tuesday, April 7, 2009, 6:34 PM

 

At 4:40 AM GMT today, I made following reply to Sunilji's wrong interpretations

of Manusmriti as well as of my messages, which did not appear in common mailbox,

hence I am posting it again :

>>>>>>>>>> To Sunilji :

According to Manusmriti, " apaankta " brahmin was not only prevented from sitting

among pure brahmins during a shraaddha feast but was not even allowed to see

good brahmins eating in such feasts (iii, 178) ; such a treatment was meted out

to chaandalas in those days, who were similarly segregated during such feasts.

Mahabharata uses the term pankti-dooshaka instead of Manusmriti's " apaankta " ,

but in the same sense. Manusmriti uses the term " pankti-paavana " an an antonym

for " apaankta " , hence " apaankta " is a synonymnfor pankti-dooshaka " , which is

used in MBh together with the term " chaandaala " for such persons. But who are

these " apaankta " persons ? Sunilji and Kaulji say astrologers were " apaankta "

persons, which is not true. Manusmriti has made no derogatory reference to

Jyotishi, even once. On the contrary, in Mn..iii.183- 185, knower of six

Vedaangas are declared to be pankti-paavana brahmins, which proves that

Manusmriti regards Jyotishi as a

" pankti-paavana " , which is opposite to " apaankta " or pankti-dooshakas. The

verse which forbids socalled astrologers from sitting in a shraaddha feast (Mn,

iii, 162) uses the word " nakshatreyashcha jeevati " which is same as

nakshatrajeevee. Nakshatrajeevees are pankti-dooshakas and Jyotishis are

pankti-paavanas according to Manusmriti. Nakshatrajeevees are derided in other

ancient texts too, and they are never eulogized in any ancient text I have ever

read. Nakshatrajeevees were not regarded as astrologers, they were viewed as

cheats who rob people by masquerading as astrologers. They were equated with

chaandaalas in MBh. The fault lies in western translators. Buhler translated

Nakshatrajeevee as " astrologer " . Kaulji was cheated by relying on wrong

translations, and Sunilji followed the same wrong line. Nakshatrajeevees are

different from astrologer, the latter was denoted by the revered term " jyotishi "

in all ancient texts including Manusmriti and

MBh. Similarly, all temple-priests are not derided in Manusmriti, please read

the Mn-iii to get the fuller sense on Manusmriti. Sunilji should read properly.

He misreads Manusmriti, MBh and he similarly misreads my paper on 61-year cycle.

I know he is not a dishonest person, he is being carried by uncontrolled anger

against me. Any term must be defined in its proper context only. We have no

right to impose our meanings on ancient terms. While dealing with ancient texts,

we must not forget that these texts were written in contexts and milieus vastly

different from ours.

 

Sunilji's attitude and language is turning from bad to worse. If he calms down a

bit, he may see differently. He fails to see why an anti-astrology person should

devote his life to develop free astrological softwares based on ancient

predictive principles ; my only " crime " is that among the myriads of softwares I

developed, I found that Suryasiddhantic Ganita combined with Parashara Phalita

best suits the purposes of predictive astrology. Before delving into

Suryasiddhanta, I used astrological softwares developed by others and then

developed astrological softwares based on modern astronomy myself, but they did

not give accurate Vimshottari timings and divisionals were also not

satisfactory. Other software developers also know this problem, that is why they

are experimenting with various types of year lengths for Vimshottari and with

various values of ayanamsha. Sunilji is not interested in these real problems of

astrology and is merely interested in

solutions of practical problems through word duels, which is a mere wastage of

time.

 

When Sunilji's unwarranted anger against me subsides, I will request him to read

my paper on 61-year cycle again. At present, he is not in a mood to understand

it properly, and is driven with a wish to refute each and every word from me. I

hope the scientist within him will eventually overcome his unfounded anger. I

tried to use some harsh words in order to compel him to pay heed to facts, but I

failed. I, therefore, apologize for using harsh words, and request him to drop

this thread at present, and discuss the matters after a few days when he calms

down. I know I am much younger to him, but he does not know he is

misinterpreting almost every sentence from me due to anger.

 

with regards,

-VJ <<<<<<<<<<

 

I got the following reply from Sunil ji :

" A liar wants to extricate himself by attributing his own mistakes to others and

rejoices. Only a spineless and gutless man is unable to admit his own mistake. A

liar is worse than a chandala. "

 

My answer is:

 

What a " scientific method " and " honourable manner " !! I will not take a refuge

in abusing those who abuse me, because I have better words whose worth will be

decided by Time. Nakshatrasoochakas are different from Jyotishis, which Sunilji

does not understand.

 

Sunilji said : " Vinayji has given only calendar years and he has not mentioned

the months in his paper on monsoon cycles " . I explained the method and my

experiments with all types of years beginning with Jan, feb, Mar, etc, and found

that year beginning with April gives best results as far as long term cyclical

patterns in Monsoons are concerned. Yet he says I said nothing about months

!Either Sunilji is not interested in or not proficient ib this field, or is

deliberately distoring facts. Figures in my papers clearly indicate whether I

use year beginning with January or with April. Two curves superimposed upon each

other have exact difference of 61 years. For 50% of this cycle, repetitive

pattern is clear, for the remaining chaotic half, there is no trace of any

cyclicity. By confusing this 61-year solar cycle with 60-year Jovian cycle (59.3

solar years), does Sunil ji wants to believe that Jovian cycle is true only for

50% and false for the rest 50% ?

Jupiter, Sun and Moon do not return to the same position at the end of 60 years,

60 jovian years are equal to 59.305 solar years, difference is of over 250

degrees or 0.7 years, which is over 8 rashis ! Astrologers make varshaphala at

mesha samkraantis. Error of over 8 rashis will destroy this method. Saturn

completes two cucles in 59 and not in 60 years. A real scientist should not be

so crude.

I am somewhat like a beginner but I have come to realize the utility of Astrlogy

and see that sooner the world realises its value better it will be. Astrology ia

a boon to the humanity and that is why, even though I am not an expert in

astrology, I do not like anybody condemning astrology without any basis like

Shri Avtar Krishen Kaul isdoing. I came to know about Shri Vinay Jha first time

As Sreenadhji invited him to AIA he thought that everybody would worship him

there without questioning. He claimed that he alone has the secret knowledge of

Suryasiddhanta and he went on telling about such things, which he could not

substantiate. However he was in for surprise as AIA, like any other sensible

fora, the AIA members would not tolerate any baseless statement.

" Bharat-varshis of those times believed that fighting may be necessary over some

issues but basically all are friends. "

 

Well said !! May we follow this rule ?

Re: Re: Greeks vs Indians <HOLY JEUS!>

 

 

 

 

 

Dear Rohini,

 

Yes. Manu, the first law-giver, had prescribed the rules of the war and one

rule among those was that a person must warn his opponent about the intention to

fight (ie. to fight it out, over whatever be the cause, for which fighting may

be considered necessary). A person has to fight only with the opponent only if

the latter is prepared for the fight. One should not attack an unarmed opponent,

even though there is enmity between them. You might have read in the Bhagavad

Gita that at the end of the first chapter Arjuna laid down his arms. Then in the

beginning of the next (ie.second) chapter he requested Lord Krishna for guidance

and the Lord could impart the lessons of the Bhagavad Gita to Arjuna, even

though it was in the middle of the battle field, simply because Arjuna was

unarmed and Bhishma, the commander of the Kaurava army, was a law-abiding

person and he would not allow any attack from the Kaurava side on the unarmed

Arjuna. Many scholars, who do not know this, wonder as to how the Bhagavad Gita

could have been delivered in the battle-field.

 

Manu gave some more rules for the war. Then just before the Mahabharata war some

additional rules were made, such as that after the battle is over for the day

all would be friends again till the battle was resumed on the next day. In

Mahabharata you will find that after framing these rules they themselves were

surprised that they have made such rules.These rules were strictly observed till

Bhishma was in command and later on however there were many breaches of the

rules.

 

One thing stands out from this that the Bharat-vashis of those times believed

that fighting may be necessary over some issues but basically all are friends.

Of course there were some black sheeps like Duryodhana who did not inherently

believe in the rules as he made his own rules and in the end he did not gain

anything by that attitude.

 

As regards your second query the Sun is the source of all energy and all

interplay of energy is possible due to the Sun. Curiously it is said that the

number one (numerologically) people are generally more energetic than the other

people, when the Sun rises and they become tired or lethargic towards the end of

the day when the Sun sets. Please let me know if you have observed any such

thing. The Sun is the giver of knowledge too. Yajnavalkya got his Vedic

knowledge from the Sun. Mayasura and even Hanuman were said to have received

the knowledge of Astrology from the Sun. The Sun spurs all of us to learn things

and to do things while the Moon being the ruler of mind allows us to think and

retrospect. We have to respect the role of both the Sun and the Moon in our

life.

 

I do not know if what I wrote would be of help. I was quite curious to know that

you have a Chemistry background too. Can you please let me know more about you

and what are your interests.

 

Best wishes,

 

Sunil K. Bhattacharjya.

Sunil Da,

 

From your mouth to God's ears or at least to the Divinity that hides within all

of us -- which is what I believe the so called Life-Force is! When trapped in a

human shell of " maati " , the Divine force forms a living human being. Sadly, most

often the maati/earth takes over.

 

That said, I was always taken by the statement that I once read that in times of

Mahabharata, enemies -- who were really friends, relatives and Gurubhais etc --

used to visit enemy camps after sundown without fear! Now, not being versed in

ancient scriptural literature at all, perhaps such was not true and I am

mis-guided. Please correct me if that is the case, since I have addressed you as

Dada.

 

A peasant like me would wonder, " Is it the Sun that makes humans fight? When the

sun was up, the Mahabharata war was fierce and deadly, but when the Sun went

down -- the war vanished and everyone became friend-relative- gurubhai again!

What Maya! And they call Chandra, the Queen of the Night Mayavini! "

 

So confusing to an astrologer, indeed!

 

What is the truth?

 

Rohini

sometimes overlook and ignore the obvious fact that at one time, long long long

long time ago, there must have been just a few humans and not billions who were

just carted down to planet earth in some space-shape as some newage SCI-FI lore

has tried to convince us from time to time (since early 90's at least since I

I am somewhat like a beginner but I have come to realize the utility of Astrlogy

and see that sooner the world realises its value better it will be. Astrology ia

a boon to the humanity and that is why, even though I am not an expert in

astrology, I do not like anybody condemning astrology without any basis like

Shri Avtar Krishen Kaul isdoing. I came to know about Shri Vinay Jha first time

in the AIA forum and he somehow

As Sreenadhji invited him to AIA he thought that everybody would worship him

there without questioning. He claimed that he alone has the secret knowledge of

Suryasiddhanta and he went on telling about such things, which he could not

substantiate. However he was in for surprise as AIA, like any other sensible

fora, the AIA members would not tolerate any baseless statement.

Raj ji,

 

I will never allow to reach any topic to nadir if I can, and even if I am not

guilty I never hesitate in apologizing. My own personal prestige is a worthless

commodity for me. White Yajurveda (ch-32) says : " na tasya pratima asti yasya

naama mahat yasha " ( He has no image Whose name is great Glory.) Only He has a

right to glory, not us.

Re: Greeks vs Indians <HOLY JEUS!>

 

 

 

 

 

Raj ji,

 

Depends on whether one is watching it from the 1 or 7 -- perspective!

Interestingly it is not a view from the north vs south pole but more like East

vs West! Roughly twelve hours apart but at the very same instant! Isn't that

interesting? Where else could it happen but on planet earth!

 

Actually, it can happen on any planet, but this one, earth, has humans that make

it significant through their observation!

 

As they say, " Trees falling in remote forests do not make any noise! "

 

or the more colourful expression, " jangal may More naacha... "

Dear Sunil da,

 

Thanks for the very thoughtful post. I shall address just the beginning and

ending portions of it, for now.

 

Indeed, one must not attack willy-nilly, something that has been occuring

increasingly in modern times and more so on Internet. I sometimes in my wild

fantasies wonder if the individuals who fight tooth and nail on internet were to

meet face to face! I would love to be the fly on the wall at such a meeting ;-)

 

That said, while it is true that one must fight for a just cause and for what

one believes is the truth, but at times it is also useful to demonstrate that

discretion is the better part of valour.

 

All that modern stuff aside, it perplexes more than amazes me that in the

puratan purer times of higher principles and values, with such honourable living

standards, people still needed to fight, go to war and to kill! I suppose there

is the concept of dharmayuddha and some of the killing and bloodshed may be

metaphorical and so on but it seems that anabolism must be balanced with

catabolism in a cosmic sense. This is what I love about nature. It is so

intrinsic and so verily jives with life itself, with the human experience

itself. No wonder scientists equate Nature with God. Scientists are trying to

understand Nature, spiritualists are trying to understand and realize God.

Perhaps they are both really climbing up the same mountain with the mountain of

ignorance getting between them and hence they cannot see each other or the

unique perspectives that each has of the very same reality!

 

Now to the simpler matter of the last para. I am sorry if I misled you. I was

just expressing my admiration about scientists like you and particularly

chemists who have the knowledge to potentially understand much of nature because

I have heard that chemistry is at the core of everything, although physics too

being the other pure science. I was lamenting that I wish I had brains enough or

good teachers to be able to learn chemistry. Maybe, in the next lifetime :-)

 

I also find it admirable that chemists such as you have a deep interest in

astrology and spiritual matters. I realize you said that astrology was not your

forte but from knowing quite a few astrologers (of all cloths), it is not the

forte of some of them, either!

 

Warm regards,

 

Rohini

rule among those was that a person must warn his opponent about the intention to

fight (ie. to fight it out, over whatever be the cause, for which fighting may

be considered necessary). A person has to fight only with the opponent only

if the latter is prepared for the fight. One should not attack an unarmed

opponent, even though there is enmity between them.  You might have read in the

Bhagavad Gita that at the end of the first chapter Arjuna laid down his arms.

Then in the beginning of the next (ie.second) chapter he requested Lord Krishna

for guidance and the Lord could impart the lessons of the Bhagavad Gita to

Arjuna, even though it was in the middle of the battle field, simply because

Arjuna was unarmed and Bhishma, the commander of the Kaurava army, was  a

law-abiding person and he  would not allow any attack from the Kaurava side on

the unarmed

some additional rules were made, such as that after the battle is over for the

day all would be friends again till the battle was resumed on the next day. In

Mahabharata you will find that after framing these rules they themselves were

surprised that they have made such rules.These rules were strictly observed till

Bhishma was in command and later on however there were many breaches of the

rules.

Of course there were some black sheeps like Duryodhana who did not inherently

believe in the rules as he made his own rules and in the end he did not gain

anything by that attitude.

number one (numerologically) people are generally more energetic than the other

people, when the Sun rises and they become tired or lethargic towards the end of

the day when the Sun sets. Please let me know if you have observed any such

thing. The Sun is the giver of knowledge too. Yajnavalkya got his Vedic

knowledge from the Sun. Mayasura and even Hanuman were  said to have received

the knowledge of Astrology from the Sun. The Sun spurs all of us to learn things

and to do things while the Moon being the ruler of mind allows us to think and

retrospect. We have to respect the role of both the Sun and the Moon in our

life.

I am somewhat like a beginner but I have come to realize the utility of Astrlogy

and see that sooner the world realises its value better it will be. Astrology ia

a boon to the humanity  and that is why, even though I am not an expert in

astrology, I do not like anybody condemning astrology without any basis like

Shri Avtar Krishen Kaul  isdoing. I came to know about Shri Vinay Jha first time

in the AIA forum and he somehow

substantiate. However he was in for surprise as AIA, like any other sensible

fora, the AIA members would not tolerate any baseless statement.

Dear RR ji,

 

// As they say, " Trees falling in remote forests do not make any noise! " //

 

But a single matchstick made from those fallen tress, has the potential to

create a firestorm and cause great havoc,in a nearby known civilsation. So

underestimation may not be the apt itinerary.

 

regards,

Bhaskar.

Interestingly it is not a view from the north vs south pole but more like East

vs West! Roughly twelve hours apart but at the very same instant! Isn't that

interesting? Where else could it happen but on planet earth!

Indian Kachua had really spurred up Vinayji. Now we can see the great Vedic

scholar in Vinayji.

BROTHERS ???

 

 

 

Sunil ji said : " the Rig Veda says that we are all brothers. "

 

 

 

It is a very good idea of Sunil ji for which I support him, excepting for the

fact that Rgveda never said so. There are 33 references to /bhraatr// in entire

Rgveda in all its possible declinations. In 32 instances, it is used for the

Sun, and in the 33rd instance, it is used for the son of Vivasvaana Sun named

Vaivasvata Yama who was also a brother of Yami (twin). All traditional

grammarians deduced it from the root //bhraash// which means " to shine " , and

has forms like bhraach and bhraaj too. A brother never shines, but the Sun

shines. The original Vedic meaning of bhraatr was " a Sun (because it shines) " ,

and " brother " is a later Laukika meaning. Saayana surmised that bhraatr in

Rgveda might be related to //bhr// , but //bhr// is related to bhartaa which

means husband. A father bears/sustains, and then husband sustains, not the

brother. But the Sun shines as well as sustains everything alive. Hence, the

Rgveda says none of us are brothers, only

 

the Sun is a bhraatr, and at one place (RV, X,10) its son is also a bhraatr.

We should not impose our laukika meanings upon Vedic meanings. I hope Sunil ji

will take this remark in a positive manner, and will try to consult the original

verses instead of relying upon translations by mlechchhas.

At 4:40 AM GMT today, I made following reply to Sunilji's wrong interpretations

of Manusmriti as well as of my messages, which did not appear in common mailbox,

hence I am posting it again :

 

>>>>>>>>>> To Sunilji :

 

According to Manusmriti, " apaankta " brahmin was not only prevented from sitting

among pure brahmins during a shraaddha feast but was not even allowed to see

good brahmins eating in such feasts (iii, 178) ; such a treatment was meted out

to chaandalas in those days, who were similarly segregated during such feasts.

Mahabharata uses the term pankti-dooshaka instead of Manusmriti's " apaankta " ,

but in the same sense. Manusmriti uses the term " pankti-paavana " an an antonym

for " apaankta " , hence " apaankta " is a synonymnfor pankti-dooshaka " , which is

used in MBh together with the term " chaandaala " for such persons. But who are

these " apaankta " persons ? Sunilji and Kaulji say astrologers were " apaankta "

persons, which is not true. Manusmriti has made no derogatory reference to

Jyotishi, even once. On the contrary, in Mn..iii.183- 185, knower of six

Vedaangas are declared to be pankti-paavana brahmins, which proves that

Manusmriti regards Jyotishi as a

 

" pankti-paavana " , which is opposite to " apaankta " or pankti-dooshakas. The

verse which forbids socalled astrologers from sitting in a shraaddha feast (Mn,

iii, 162) uses the word " nakshatreyashcha jeevati " which is same as

nakshatrajeevee. Nakshatrajeevees are pankti-dooshakas and Jyotishis are

pankti-paavanas according to Manusmriti. Nakshatrajeevees are derided in other

ancient texts too, and they are never eulogized in any ancient text I have ever

read. Nakshatrajeevees were not regarded as astrologers, they were viewed as

cheats who rob people by masquerading as astrologers. They were equated with

chaandaalas in MBh. The fault lies in western translators. Buhler translated

Nakshatrajeevee as " astrologer " . Kaulji was cheated by relying on wrong

translations, and Sunilji followed the same wrong line. Nakshatrajeevees are

different from astrologer, the latter was denoted by the revered term " jyotishi "

in all ancient texts including Manusmriti and

 

MBh. Similarly, all temple-priests are not derided in Manusmriti, please read

the Mn-iii to get the fuller sense on Manusmriti. Sunilji should read properly.

He misreads Manusmriti, MBh and he similarly misreads my paper on 61-year cycle.

I know he is not a dishonest person, he is being carried by uncontrolled anger

against me. Any term must be defined in its proper context only. We have no

right to impose our meanings on ancient terms. While dealing with ancient texts,

we must not forget that these texts were written in contexts and milieus vastly

different from ours.

 

 

 

Sunilji's attitude and language is turning from bad to worse. If he calms down a

bit, he may see differently. He fails to see why an anti-astrology person should

devote his life to develop free astrological softwares based on ancient

predictive principles ; my only " crime " is that among the myriads of softwares I

developed, I found that Suryasiddhantic Ganita combined with Parashara Phalita

best suits the purposes of predictive astrology. Before delving into

Suryasiddhanta, I used astrological softwares developed by others and then

developed astrological softwares based on modern astronomy myself, but they did

not give accurate Vimshottari timings and divisionals were also not

satisfactory. Other software developers also know this problem, that is why they

are experimenting with various types of year lengths for Vimshottari and with

various values of ayanamsha. Sunilji is not interested in these real problems of

astrology and is merely interested in

 

solutions of practical problems through word duels, which is a mere wastage of

time.

 

 

 

When Sunilji's unwarranted anger against me subsides, I will request him to read

my paper on 61-year cycle again. At present, he is not in a mood to understand

it properly, and is driven with a wish to refute each and every word from me. I

hope the scientist within him will eventually overcome his unfounded anger. I

tried to use some harsh words in order to compel him to pay heed to facts, but I

failed. I, therefore, apologize for using harsh words, and request him to drop

this thread at present, and discuss the matters after a few days when he calms

down. I know I am much younger to him, but he does not know he is

misinterpreting almost every sentence from me due to anger.

I got the following reply from Sunil ji :

 

" A liar wants to extricate himself by attributing his own mistakes to others and

rejoices. Only a spineless and gutless man is unable to admit his own mistake. A

liar is worse than a chandala. "

 

 

 

My answer is:

 

 

 

What a " scientific method " and " honourable manner " !! I will not take a refuge

in abusing those who abuse me, because I have better words whose worth will be

decided by Time. Nakshatrasoochakas are different from Jyotishis, which Sunilji

does not understand.

 

 

 

Sunilji said : " Vinayji has given only calendar years and he has not mentioned

the months in his paper on monsoon cycles " . I explained the method and my

experiments with all types of years beginning with Jan, feb, Mar, etc, and found

that year beginning with April gives best results as far as long term cyclical

patterns in Monsoons are concerned. Yet he says I said nothing about months

!Either Sunilji is not interested in or not proficient ib this field, or is

deliberately distoring facts. Figures in my papers clearly indicate whether I

use year beginning with January or with April. Two curves superimposed upon each

other have exact difference of 61 years. For 50% of this cycle, repetitive

pattern is clear, for the remaining chaotic half, there is no trace of any

cyclicity. By confusing this 61-year solar cycle with 60-year Jovian cycle (59.3

solar years), does Sunil ji wants to believe that Jovian cycle is true only for

50% and false for the rest 50% ?

 

Jupiter, Sun and Moon do not return to the same position at the end of 60 years,

60 jovian years are equal to 59.305 solar years, difference is of over 250

degrees or 0.7 years, which is over 8 rashis ! Astrologers make varshaphala at

mesha samkraantis. Error of over 8 rashis will destroy this method. Saturn

completes two cucles in 59 and not in 60 years. A real scientist should not be

so crude.

a boon to the humanity and that is why, even though I am not an expert in

astrology, I do not like anybody condemning astrology without any basis like

Shri Avtar Krishen Kaul isdoing. I came to know about Shri Vinay Jha first time

in the AIA forum and he somehow

As Sreenadhji invited him to AIA he thought that everybody would worship him

there without questioning. He claimed that he alone has the secret knowledge of

Suryasiddhanta and he went on telling about such things, which he could not

substantiate. However he was in for surprise as AIA, like any other sensible

fora, the AIA members would not tolerate any baseless statement.

Indian Kachua had really spurred up Vinayji. Now we can see the great Vedic

scholar in Vinayji.

BROTHERS ???

 

 

 

Sunil ji said : " the Rig Veda says that we are all brothers. "

 

 

 

It is a very good idea of Sunil ji for which I support him, excepting for the

fact that Rgveda never said so. There are 33 references to /bhraatr// in entire

Rgveda in all its possible declinations. In 32 instances, it is used for the

Sun, and in the 33rd instance, it is used for the son of Vivasvaana Sun named

Vaivasvata Yama who was also a brother of Yami (twin). All traditional

grammarians deduced it from the root //bhraash// which means " to shine " , and

has forms like bhraach and bhraaj too. A brother never shines, but the Sun

shines. The original Vedic meaning of bhraatr was " a Sun (because it shines) " ,

and " brother " is a later Laukika meaning. Saayana surmised that bhraatr in

Rgveda might be related to //bhr// , but //bhr// is related to bhartaa which

means husband. A father bears/sustains, and then husband sustains, not the

brother. But the Sun shines as well as sustains everything alive. Hence, the

Rgveda says none of us are brothers, only

 

the Sun is a bhraatr, and at one place (RV, X,10) its son is also a bhraatr.

We should not impose our laukika meanings upon Vedic meanings. I hope Sunil ji

will take this remark in a positive manner, and will try to consult the original

verses instead of relying upon translations by mlechchhas.

Re: Re: Greeks vs Indians <HOLY JEUS!>

 

 

 

Dear Shri Vinayji,

 

 

 

Thanks for so good clarifications.

 

 

 

Please continue with shedding knowledge on us.

 

 

 

Please dont mind with the mails of 'sunil_bhattacharjy a' as we all know he

talks with out and proof.He has to write anything that is all with him.But

please you continue with your knowledge as he is giving opportunity to let you

prove yourself as good and sound scholar.

 

 

 

Please continue.

 

 

 

Luv and Regards

At 4:40 AM GMT today, I made following reply to Sunilji's wrong interpretations

of Manusmriti as well as of my messages, which did not appear in common mailbox,

hence I am posting it again :

 

>>>>>>>>>> To Sunilji :

 

According to Manusmriti, " apaankta " brahmin was not only prevented from sitting

among pure brahmins during a shraaddha feast but was not even allowed to see

good brahmins eating in such feasts (iii, 178) ; such a treatment was meted out

to chaandalas in those days, who were similarly segregated during such feasts.

Mahabharata uses the term pankti-dooshaka instead of Manusmriti's " apaankta " ,

but in the same sense. Manusmriti uses the term " pankti-paavana " an an antonym

for " apaankta " , hence " apaankta " is a synonymnfor pankti-dooshaka " , which is

used in MBh together with the term " chaandaala " for such persons. But who are

these " apaankta " persons ? Sunilji and Kaulji say astrologers were " apaankta "

persons, which is not true. Manusmriti has made no derogatory reference to

Jyotishi, even once. On the contrary, in Mn..iii.183- 185, knower of six

Vedaangas are declared to be pankti-paavana brahmins, which proves that

Manusmriti regards Jyotishi as a

 

" pankti-paavana " , which is opposite to " apaankta " or pankti-dooshakas. The

verse which forbids socalled astrologers from sitting in a shraaddha feast (Mn,

iii, 162) uses the word " nakshatreyashcha jeevati " which is same as

nakshatrajeevee. Nakshatrajeevees are pankti-dooshakas and Jyotishis are

pankti-paavanas according to Manusmriti. Nakshatrajeevees are derided in other

ancient texts too, and they are never eulogized in any ancient text I have ever

read. Nakshatrajeevees were not regarded as astrologers, they were viewed as

cheats who rob people by masquerading as astrologers. They were equated with

chaandaalas in MBh. The fault lies in western translators. Buhler translated

Nakshatrajeevee as " astrologer " . Kaulji was cheated by relying on wrong

translations, and Sunilji followed the same wrong line. Nakshatrajeevees are

different from astrologer, the latter was denoted by the revered term " jyotishi "

in all ancient texts including Manusmriti and

 

MBh. Similarly, all temple-priests are not derided in Manusmriti, please read

the Mn-iii to get the fuller sense on Manusmriti. Sunilji should read properly.

He misreads Manusmriti, MBh and he similarly misreads my paper on 61-year cycle.

I know he is not a dishonest person, he is being carried by uncontrolled anger

against me. Any term must be defined in its proper context only. We have no

right to impose our meanings on ancient terms. While dealing with ancient texts,

we must not forget that these texts were written in contexts and milieus vastly

different from ours.

 

 

 

Sunilji's attitude and language is turning from bad to worse. If he calms down a

bit, he may see differently. He fails to see why an anti-astrology person should

devote his life to develop free astrological softwares based on ancient

predictive principles ; my only " crime " is that among the myriads of softwares I

developed, I found that Suryasiddhantic Ganita combined with Parashara Phalita

best suits the purposes of predictive astrology. Before delving into

Suryasiddhanta, I used astrological softwares developed by others and then

developed astrological softwares based on modern astronomy myself, but they did

not give accurate Vimshottari timings and divisionals were also not

satisfactory. Other software developers also know this problem, that is why they

are experimenting with various types of year lengths for Vimshottari and with

various values of ayanamsha. Sunilji is not interested in these real problems of

astrology and is merely interested in

 

solutions of practical problems through word duels, which is a mere wastage of

time.

 

 

 

When Sunilji's unwarranted anger against me subsides, I will request him to read

my paper on 61-year cycle again. At present, he is not in a mood to understand

it properly, and is driven with a wish to refute each and every word from me. I

hope the scientist within him will eventually overcome his unfounded anger. I

tried to use some harsh words in order to compel him to pay heed to facts, but I

failed. I, therefore, apologize for using harsh words, and request him to drop

this thread at present, and discuss the matters after a few days when he calms

down. I know I am much younger to him, but he does not know he is

misinterpreting almost every sentence from me due to anger.

 

 

 

with regards,

 

-VJ <<<<<<<<<<

 

 

 

I got the following reply from Sunil ji :

 

" A liar wants to extricate himself by attributing his own mistakes to others and

rejoices. Only a spineless and gutless man is unable to admit his own mistake. A

liar is worse than a chandala. "

 

 

 

My answer is:

 

 

 

What a " scientific method " and " honourable manner " !! I will not take a refuge

in abusing those who abuse me, because I have better words whose worth will be

decided by Time. Nakshatrasoochakas are different from Jyotishis, which Sunilji

does not understand.

 

 

 

Sunilji said : " Vinayji has given only calendar years and he has not mentioned

the months in his paper on monsoon cycles " . I explained the method and my

experiments with all types of years beginning with Jan, feb, Mar, etc, and found

that year beginning with April gives best results as far as long term cyclical

patterns in Monsoons are concerned. Yet he says I said nothing about months

!Either Sunilji is not interested in or not proficient ib this field, or is

deliberately distoring facts. Figures in my papers clearly indicate whether I

use year beginning with January or with April. Two curves superimposed upon each

other have exact difference of 61 years. For 50% of this cycle, repetitive

pattern is clear, for the remaining chaotic half, there is no trace of any

cyclicity. By confusing this 61-year solar cycle with 60-year Jovian cycle (59.3

solar years), does Sunil ji wants to believe that Jovian cycle is true only for

50% and false for the rest 50% ?

 

Jupiter, Sun and Moon do not return to the same position at the end of 60 years,

60 jovian years are equal to 59.305 solar years, difference is of over 250

degrees or 0.7 years, which is over 8 rashis ! Astrologers make varshaphala at

mesha samkraantis. Error of over 8 rashis will destroy this method. Saturn

completes two cucles in 59 and not in 60 years. A real scientist should not be

so crude.

I am somewhat like a beginner but I have come to realize the utility of Astrlogy

and see that sooner the world realises its value better it will be. Astrology ia

a boon to the humanity and that is why, even though I am not an expert in

astrology, I do not like anybody condemning astrology without any basis like

Shri Avtar Krishen Kaul isdoing. I came to know about Shri Vinay Jha first time

in the AIA forum and he somehow

As Sreenadhji invited him to AIA he thought that everybody would worship him

there without questioning. He claimed that he alone has the secret knowledge of

Suryasiddhanta and he went on telling about such things, which he could not

substantiate. However he was in for surprise as AIA, like any other sensible

fora, the AIA members would not tolerate any baseless statement.

Dear Rohini,

 

I agree with you that we must remember " discretion is the better part of

valour " .

 

Best wishes,

Dear Sunil da,

 

 

 

Thanks for the very thoughtful post. I shall address just the beginning and

ending portions of it, for now.

 

 

 

Indeed, one must not attack willy-nilly, something that has been occuring

increasingly in modern times and more so on Internet. I sometimes in my wild

fantasies wonder if the individuals who fight tooth and nail on internet were to

meet face to face! I would love to be the fly on the wall at such a meeting ;-)

 

 

 

That said, while it is true that one must fight for a just cause and for what

one believes is the truth, but at times it is also useful to demonstrate that

discretion is the better part of valour.

 

 

 

All that modern stuff aside, it perplexes more than amazes me that in the

puratan purer times of higher principles and values, with such honourable living

standards, people still needed to fight, go to war and to kill! I suppose there

is the concept of dharmayuddha and some of the killing and bloodshed may be

metaphorical and so on but it seems that anabolism must be balanced with

catabolism in a cosmic sense. This is what I love about nature. It is so

intrinsic and so verily jives with life itself, with the human experience

itself. No wonder scientists equate Nature with God. Scientists are trying to

understand Nature, spiritualists are trying to understand and realize God.

Perhaps they are both really climbing up the same mountain with the mountain of

ignorance getting between them and hence they cannot see each other or the

unique perspectives that each has of the very same reality!

 

 

 

Now to the simpler matter of the last para. I am sorry if I misled you. I was

just expressing my admiration about scientists like you and particularly

chemists who have the knowledge to potentially understand much of nature because

I have heard that chemistry is at the core of everything, although physics too

being the other pure science. I was lamenting that I wish I had brains enough or

good teachers to be able to learn chemistry. Maybe, in the next lifetime :-)

 

 

 

I also find it admirable that chemists such as you have a deep interest in

astrology and spiritual matters. I realize you said that astrology was not your

forte but from knowing quite a few astrologers (of all cloths), it is not the

forte of some of them, either!

 

 

 

Warm regards,

 

 

 

Rohini

> Yes.  Manu, the first law-giver, had prescribed the rules of the war and one

rule among those was that a person must warn his opponent about the intention to

fight (ie. to fight it out, over whatever be the cause, for which fighting may

be considered necessary). A person has to fight only with the opponent only

if the latter is prepared for the fight. One should not attack an unarmed

opponent, even though there is enmity between them.  You might have read in the

Bhagavad Gita that at the end of the first chapter Arjuna laid down his arms.

Then in the beginning of the next (ie.second) chapter he requested Lord Krishna

for guidance and the Lord could impart the lessons of the Bhagavad Gita to

Arjuna, even though it was in the middle of the battle field, simply because

Arjuna was unarmed and Bhishma, the commander of the Kaurava army, was  a

law-abiding person and he  would not allow any attack from the Kaurava side on

the unarmed

Gita could have been delivered in the battle-field.

> Manu gave some more rules for the war. Then just before the Mahabharata war

some additional rules were made, such as that after the battle is over for the

day all would be friends again till the battle was resumed on the next day. In

Mahabharata you will find that after framing these rules they themselves were

surprised that they have made such rules.These rules were strictly observed till

Bhishma was in command and later on however there were many breaches of the

rules.

 

>  

 

> One thing stands out from this that the Bharat-vashis of those times believed

that fighting may be necessary over some issues but basically all are friends.

Of course there were some black sheeps like Duryodhana who did not inherently

believe in the rules as he made his own rules and in the end he did not gain

anything by that attitude.

> As regards your second query the Sun is the source of all energy and all

interplay of energy is possible due to the Sun. Curiously it is said that the

number one (numerologically) people are generally more energetic than the other

people, when the Sun rises and they become tired or lethargic towards the end of

the day when the Sun sets. Please let me know if you have observed any such

thing. The Sun is the giver of knowledge too. Yajnavalkya got his Vedic

knowledge from the Sun. Mayasura and even Hanuman were  said to have received

the knowledge of Astrology from the Sun. The Sun spurs all of us to learn things

and to do things while the Moon being the ruler of mind allows us to think and

retrospect. We have to respect the role of both the Sun and the Moon in our

life.

mis-guided. Please correct me if that is the case, since I have addressed you as

and assume that scientists are simply disorganized, though creative geniuses who

forget what or when they ate last or where they kept their socks (absent-minded

professor stereotype!) but little does the general public realizes how

ridiculously simplistic that perception is.

sometimes overlook and ignore the obvious fact that at one time, long long long

long time ago, there must have been just a few humans and not billions who were

just carted down to planet earth in some space-shape as some newage SCI-FI lore

has tried to convince us from time to time (since early 90's at least since I

had been observing that ground-swell) .

engineering. I have interest in Indian Philosophy, Ancient Indian History and 

in Jyotish Shastra. In Jyotish shastra I have equal interest interest in Hindu

astronomy and Hindu astrology. But astrology is really a big subject and in that

I am somewhat like a beginner but I have come to realize the utility of Astrlogy

and see that sooner the world realises its value better it will be. Astrology ia

a boon to the humanity  and that is why, even though I am not an expert in

astrology, I do not like anybody condemning astrology without any basis like

Shri Avtar Krishen Kaul  isdoing. I came to know about Shri Vinay Jha first time

in the AIA forum and he

somehow

him there without questioning. He claimed that he alone has the secret knowledge

of Suryasiddhanta and he went on telling about such things, which he could not

substantiate. However he was in for surprise as AIA, like any other sensible

fora, the AIA members would not tolerate any baseless statement.

Dear Rohini,

 

I mentioned  Rig Veda as saying that " All men are brothers " . I now realise that

I should have given the relevant verse, as some group members may doubt my

statement. The relevant verse is as follows:

 

अजà¥à¤¯à¥‡à¤·à¥à¤ à¤¾à¤¸à¥‹ अकनिषà¥à¤ à¤¾à¤¸ à¤à¤¤à¥‡ सम

भरातरो वावà¥à¤°à¥à¤§à¥à¤ƒ सौभगाय | (Rig Veda

5.60.5)

 

This means that no one is big, no one is small, all are equal and all are

brothers.

 

Best wishes,

 

Sunil K. Bhattacharjya

Dear Sunil da,

 

 

 

Thanks for the very thoughtful post. I shall address just the beginning and

ending portions of it, for now.

 

 

 

Indeed, one must not attack willy-nilly, something that has been occuring

increasingly in modern times and more so on Internet. I sometimes in my wild

fantasies wonder if the individuals who fight tooth and nail on internet were to

meet face to face! I would love to be the fly on the wall at such a meeting ;-)

 

 

 

That said, while it is true that one must fight for a just cause and for what

one believes is the truth, but at times it is also useful to demonstrate that

discretion is the better part of valour.

 

 

 

All that modern stuff aside, it perplexes more than amazes me that in the

puratan purer times of higher principles and values, with such honourable living

standards, people still needed to fight, go to war and to kill! I suppose there

is the concept of dharmayuddha and some of the killing and bloodshed may be

metaphorical and so on but it seems that anabolism must be balanced with

catabolism in a cosmic sense. This is what I love about nature. It is so

intrinsic and so verily jives with life itself, with the human experience

itself. No wonder scientists equate Nature with God. Scientists are trying to

understand Nature, spiritualists are trying to understand and realize God.

Perhaps they are both really climbing up the same mountain with the mountain of

ignorance getting between them and hence they cannot see each other or the

unique perspectives that each has of the very same reality!

 

 

 

Now to the simpler matter of the last para. I am sorry if I misled you. I was

just expressing my admiration about scientists like you and particularly

chemists who have the knowledge to potentially understand much of nature because

I have heard that chemistry is at the core of everything, although physics too

being the other pure science. I was lamenting that I wish I had brains enough or

good teachers to be able to learn chemistry. Maybe, in the next lifetime :-)

 

 

 

I also find it admirable that chemists such as you have a deep interest in

astrology and spiritual matters. I realize you said that astrology was not your

forte but from knowing quite a few astrologers (of all cloths), it is not the

forte of some of them, either!

 

 

 

Warm regards,

> Yes.  Manu, the first law-giver, had prescribed the rules of the war and one

rule among those was that a person must warn his opponent about the intention

to fight (ie. to fight it out, over whatever be the cause, for which fighting

may be considered necessary). A person has to fight only with the opponent

only if the latter is prepared for the fight. One should not attack an

unarmed opponent, even though there is enmity between them.  You might have

read in the Bhagavad Gita that at the end of the first chapter Arjuna laid

down his arms. Then in the beginning of the next (ie.second) chapter

he requested Lord Krishna for guidance and the Lord could impart the lessons

of the Bhagavad Gita to Arjuna, even though it was in the middle of the

battle field, simply because Arjuna was unarmed and Bhishma, the commander of

the Kaurava army, was  a law-abiding person and he  would not allow any

attack from the Kaurava side on the unarmed

 

> Arjuna. Many scholars, who do not know this, wonder as to how the Bhagavad

Gita could have been delivered in the battle-field.

 

>  

 

> Manu gave some more rules for the war. Then just before the Mahabharata war

some additional rules were made, such as that after the battle is over for the

day all would be friends again till the battle was resumed on the next day. In

Mahabharata you will find that after framing these rules they themselves were

surprised that they have made such rules.These rules were strictly observed

till Bhishma was in command and later on however there were many breaches of the

rules.

> One thing stands out from this that the Bharat-vashis of those times believed

that fighting may be necessary over some issues but basically all are friends.

Of course there were some black sheeps like Duryodhana who did not inherently

believe in the rules as he made his own rules and in the end he did not gain

anything by that attitude.

> As regards your second query the Sun is the source of all energy and all

interplay of energy is possible due to the Sun. Curiously it is said that the

number one (numerologically) people are generally more energetic than the other

people, when the Sun rises and they become tired or lethargic towards the end of

the day when the Sun sets. Please let me know if you have observed any such

thing. The Sun is the giver of knowledge too. Yajnavalkya got his Vedic

knowledge from the Sun. Mayasura and even Hanuman were  said to have received

the knowledge of Astrology from the Sun. The Sun spurs all of us to learn things

and to do things while the Moon being the ruler of mind allows us to think and

retrospect. We have to respect the role of both the Sun and the Moon in our

life.

and assume that scientists are simply disorganized, though creative geniuses who

forget what or when they ate last or where they kept their socks (absent-minded

ridiculously simplistic that perception is.

sometimes overlook and ignore the obvious fact that at one time, long long long

long time ago, there must have been just a few humans and not billions who were

just carted down to planet earth in some space-shape as some newage SCI-FI lore

has tried to convince us from time to time (since early 90's at least since I

had been observing that ground-swell) .

in Jyotish Shastra. In Jyotish shastra I have equal interest interest in Hindu

astronomy and Hindu astrology. But astrology is really a big subject and in that

I am somewhat like a beginner but I have come to realize the utility of Astrlogy

and see that sooner the world realises its value better it will be. Astrology ia

a boon to the humanity  and that is why, even though I am not an expert in

astrology, I do not like anybody condemning astrology without any basis like

Shri Avtar Krishen Kaul  isdoing. I came to know about Shri Vinay Jha first

time in the AIA forum and he

somehow

substantiate. However he was in for surprise as AIA, like any other sensible

fora, the AIA members would not tolerate any baseless statement.
