Guest guest Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 Dear Sunil ji, HaHa. You know better Sir. I believe in certain part which even he may not be knowing because it is of spiritual purport, but that has nothing to do with what he has written in totality. What you mention is absolutely true. How can a physical spaceship land on a non physical Moon is exactly the question which came in my mind, which luckily this member put to Mr. Vinay and cornered him. When we talk on Groups where astronomy is related to astrology, no tlak of non-physical grahas should come up in the first place or else it will only serve to invite ridicule. regards/Bhaskar. , Sunil Bhattacharjya <sunil_bhattacharjya wrote: > > Dear Bhaskarji, > > Do you really agree with Vinayji regarding separate Saurapaksha locations for the grahas? > > Regards > > Sunil K.

From the name of our group I understand that we can have some discussions on astronomy also alongside astrology. The question on this thread is more interesting from the astronomy part of Jyotisha. If the astronauts landed in the other Moon then we should try to get Moon-landing data, which may not be sensitive and non-disclosable. NASA will have data on the distance as well as of the speed of the space rocket and the travel time etc. Thus it will be a real opportunity to verify the the claims of some people that there are two locations for each graha, ie. one the physical and the other non-physical. However one question will remain as to how a physical space vehicle can land in the non-physical Moon. Any guess? > > Regards, > > Sunil K.

Guest guest Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 Dear Shri Sunilji, I know nothing about astronomy. Just this much that we are part of the solar system of the Milky way galaxy, which may have a million Suns much brighter than the Sun we know, and even theMilky way galaxy is just a speck in the sky when watched from afar, and if we go further away, even this galaxy is not visible. Astronomy is the domain for you experts. I just know reading from spiritual scriptures that we have more grahas not visible in the sky, and even the Earth is hanging in a bag on which certain lokas exist not visible in the sky, and the details are given about the yojanas how much distance are these lokas etc. from the earth, what is the distance of their expanse and other such matters but if you ask me to quote the refrence, at the moment I cannot remember. I am also of belief that whatever energy is existing in space,is also existing in the lowest dissection when viewed by the most scientific instrument , even if a leaf is cut into the smallest part, or a stone broken into the smallest particle. This has been proven scientifically, and this is what we call the Omnipresent, Omniscient and Omnipotent God,who is a part of both Micro and Macr of anything existing in the Universe. This is the only astronomy I am interested in presently. Rest i wish to study with reference to astrology, and not more than that, but do not find the requisite time for same. These discussions which Mr,Vinay and others participating in the threads are into, I am least interested, they are of no value for me personally, and I consider them a waste of precious time. best wishes and kind regards, and full respect to your age and knowledge, I remain, humbly yours, Bhaskar. , " Bhaskar " <bhaskar_jyotish wrote: > > Dear Sunil ji, > > HaHa.
