Guest guest Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 Dear Jhaaji and Rohiniranjanji, I think Rohiniranjanji is quite correct since he said those countries following the sayan system prosper.I will like to add that sayan system gives prosperity and nirayan system give peace.There should be coordination so we get both prosperity and peace. But then all this time there was coordination of the sayan and the nirayan sankrantis when south asia had peade and prosperity. Ever since the breaking of the coordination started, then the downfall also started and the downfall will not improve if we do not re-establlish the coordination again between the sayan and the nirayan sankrantis,between the solar and the lunar dates.This is as clear as daylight, for those who want to see.But to others who are prejudiced,there is no medicine for prejudice as Jhaaji says. Upto the 14 century the coordination between the sayan and the nirayna , the solar and the lunar sankrantis was there.but then after that the connection broke when foreign invasions started and conquered India and the south asian nations. Dear jhaaji will you please enlighten me as to how many bhaavas the two rashis Meen and Mesh are capable of reflecting.Are both capable of reflecting the 12 bhaavas or not? thank you.

Nirayana Mesha Samkrannti gives phala of whole year in all fields , including agriculture and climate. Similarly, mundane horoscopes for other samkrantis and nakshatra transits yield accurate results only when sidereal method is followed. Seasons are tropical, but their regulators are medini (mundane) horoscopes of solar transits into nirayana Raashis and Nakshatras. > > > > Countries which follow tropical astrology have prospered onlt recently.

Jhaaji is saying it is a age old thing, but there is no problem in being age old.Many times the older, the more truer. Thus let us concentrate in what Dheengraji is saying. > > > > > He is saying, the signs of the zodiacs is not on the ecliptic exactly, it is say, plus minus eight or nine degrees on the ecliptic.If it should be true for plus minus eight( or 9) then why it should not be true when it is plus minus forty five degrees? He says we are also marking as on the rashis when actually it is not. > > > > > Thus according to Dhreengraji, it should be true for 45 degreees if true for 8 (or 9)degrees.Am I right Dhreengraji? what would Jhaaji and Bhattachrjyaji say?

Moreover, your statement about correspondence of raashis with constellations shows that you are neither a scientist nor an astrologer. If you are a scientist, how can you prove that physical stars or planets can have astrological effects ? If you are a supporter of astrology, why you do not test astrology on the basis of its standard ( " age-old " ) principles before discarding them, which are " age-old " (ie, outdated) for you ? > > > > > > > > > > > > <<< " Vinayji is saying it is age old point:- i think Vinay ji himself has not checked the position of conestellation on ecliptic...

This is his assertion and subsequently he reasserted that. Assertions and reassertions are after all assertions. He never cared to understand why the constellations in the ecliptic band was chosen in the first place in preference to the constallationa outside the ecliptic band. Do you think he is right in ignoring the reasons for the preferential choice of the constallation in theecliptic band? Or should we assume that he is ignorant of the same? > > > > > > > > > > > > He admits that he does not believe in astrology. It appears to me that he is trying to mean that if the constellations outside the ecliptic band have no effect on man then the constellations within the ecliptic band also would not have any effect on man and therefore the astrology, which involves these useless constellations is also of no use to man. He says so because he does not know in the first place why the constallations in the ecliptic band were chosen preferentially.

Has any theoretical astrophysicist done any such work on that and reported the findings in scientific literature?

It runs as follows, " Astronomer s have divided the sky into 88 constellations. ..the ancient people named these groups of stars after animals and mythological characters.For example, the contellations Leo was named after lion, Pisces after two fish,and Taurus after a bull " .Do you understand that the scientists recognise each rashi as one constellations. The 27 constellations of which you have mentioned, are not the scientist's categorisaion but of the eastern daily lunar constellations, we call as nakshyatras.

Is my expression in English so weak that you are not able to understand its logic? I hope that you do not believe some stars effect us and others do not.Do you think only 12 groups of stars effect us and the remaining 76 groups categorised by science are incapable to effect us?

But you being ignorant about dharma shastra like Dharma sindhu, kala madhav etc talk like a unread and non religious person.. You also do not take the trouble to read them.

Or go to a library and read them.But do not make the jokes of the century by saying mesh sankranti is not linked to vernal equinox and makar sankranti is not linked to winter solstice.Bhagvatam itself is full of these assertions.I have quoted the description of the Sishumar chakra too. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > OK then good bye for today.Take care. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Hari Malla > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > , Sunil Bhattacharjya <sunil_bhattacharjy a wrote: > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Shri Harimalla, > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > 1) > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Go and discuss calendar reform in calendar group and not here.

Any Vedic scholar will understand that the verses I gave show the presence of Rashi in Veda. Also tell them that all the nine grahas are also in the Veda. Sometimes the terminologies are different. For example, Rahu and Ketu are called Svarabhanu in Veda. The Sun, the Moon and Brihaspati are of course in the same name. I already told AKK that Manu had told that the Kings should consult Astrologers. thereby approving the use of Astrology.

I just simply told him that the Vedic words and the verses have Paroksha and Pratyaksha meanings. Brihadaranyaka Upanishad (4.2.2) says : " paroksha priya hi devaah pratyaksha dvishah " , which means that the gods love the indirect or obscure meanings and dislikes the evident or obvious.

But I understand that for proper comprehension of the Vedic verses one must read the Puranas first and then one must also know the Vyakarana, Nirukta and Chanda etc. If this requirement makes someone special then it is so.

Guest guest Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 It is not about right or wrong, correct or its antonym! It is not about what we individually SAY or CLAIM ... but what we INDIVIDUALLY -- DO! and that is where the adage that plucked at the harp of my heart... We each have the choice to pick a string and then we reach out and pluck it and through that simple action we create sound and express in Akasha that is the fifth tattwa. As long as we all continue to express -- communication will! And we all will remain connected. The alternative also exists I suppose but I have not taken that alternative turn and have no clue where that leads! Awaiting to hear from anyone who has ...? And would wish to share ...?? , " harimalla " <harimalla wrote: > > Dear Jhaaji and Rohiniranjanji, > > I think Rohiniranjanji is quite correct since he said those countries following the sayan system prosper.I will like to add that sayan system gives prosperity and nirayan system give peace.There should be coordination so we get both prosperity and peace. > But then all this time there was coordination of the sayan and the nirayan sankrantis when south asia had peade and prosperity. Ever since the breaking of the coordination started, then the downfall also started and the downfall will not improve if we do not re-establlish the coordination again between the sayan and the nirayan sankrantis,between the solar and the lunar dates.This is as clear as daylight, for those who want to see.But to others who are prejudiced,there is no medicine for prejudice as Jhaaji says. > Upto the 14 century the coordination between the sayan and the nirayna , the solar and the lunar sankrantis was there.but then after that the connection broke when foreign invasions started and conquered India and the south asian nations. > Dear jhaaji will you please enlighten me as to how many bhaavas the two rashis Meen and Mesh are capable of reflecting.Are both capable of reflecting the 12 bhaavas or not? thank you. > Regards, > Hari Malla > > > > , " Rohiniranjan " <jyotish_vani@> wrote: > > > > Dear Jha Saheb, > > > > Since you quoted and seemingly responded to the content in my message inspite of addressing Sunil-Da, it would be impolite of me to not respond to you directly ;-) > > > > ...

Nirayana Mesha Samkrannti gives phala of whole year in all fields , including agriculture and climate. Similarly, mundane horoscopes for other samkrantis and nakshatra transits yield accurate results only when sidereal method is followed.

Jhaaji is saying it is a age old thing, but there is no problem in being age old.Many times the older, the more truer. Thus let us concentrate in what Dheengraji is saying. > > > > > > He is saying, the signs of the zodiacs is not on the ecliptic exactly, it is say, plus minus eight or nine degrees on the ecliptic.If it should be true for plus minus eight( or 9) then why it should not be true when it is plus minus forty five degrees?

Moreover, your statement about correspondence of raashis with constellations shows that you are neither a scientist nor an astrologer. If you are a scientist, how can you prove that physical stars or planets can have astrological effects ? If you are a supporter of astrology, why you do not test astrology on the basis of its standard ( " age-old " ) principles before discarding them, which are " age-old " (ie, outdated) for you ? > > > > > > > > > > > > > > <<< " Vinayji is saying it is age old point:- i think Vinay ji himself has not checked the position of conestellation on ecliptic...

This is his assertion and subsequently he reasserted that. Assertions and reassertions are after all assertions. He never cared to understand why the constellations in the ecliptic band was chosen in the first place in preference to the constallationa outside the ecliptic band. Do you think he is right in ignoring the reasons for the preferential choice of the constallation in theecliptic band? Or should we assume that he is ignorant of the same? > > > > > > > > > > > > > > He admits that he does not believe in astrology. It appears to me that he is trying to mean that if the constellations outside the ecliptic band have no effect on man then the constellations within the ecliptic band also would not have any effect on man and therefore the astrology, which involves these useless constellations is also of no use to man. He says so because he does not know in the first place why the constallations in the ecliptic band were chosen preferentially.

It runs as follows, " Astronomer s have divided the sky into 88 constellations. ..the ancient people named these groups of stars after animals and mythological characters.For example, the contellations Leo was named after lion, Pisces after two fish,and Taurus after a bull " .Do you understand that the scientists recognise each rashi as one constellations.

Is my expression in English so weak that you are not able to understand its logic? I hope that you do not believe some stars effect us and others do not.Do you think only 12 groups of stars effect us and the remaining 76 groups categorised by science are incapable to effect us?

But you being ignorant about dharma shastra like Dharma sindhu, kala madhav etc talk like a unread and non religious person.. You also do not take the trouble to read them.

Or go to a library and read them.But do not make the jokes of the century by saying mesh sankranti is not linked to vernal equinox and makar sankranti is not linked to winter solstice.Bhagvatam itself is full of these assertions.I have quoted the description of the Sishumar chakra too. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > OK then good bye for today.Take care. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Hari Malla > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > , Sunil Bhattacharjya <sunil_bhattacharjy a wrote: > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Shri Harimalla, > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > 1) > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Go and discuss calendar reform in calendar group and not here.

This is just waste of time.When a method of calendar reform is available with the rashis continuing why do you not support such a method of calendar reform? > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Thank you, > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Hari Malla > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > , Sunil Bhattacharjya <sunil_bhattacharjy a wrote: > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > --- On Fri, 6/19/09, sunil_bhattacharjya <sunil_bhattacharjy a wrote: > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > sunil_bhattacharjya <sunil_bhattacharjy a > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Re: [WAVES-Vedic] Re: Rashi in Vedic literature, the Relevant Chronology and the Sidereal > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > WAVES-Vedic > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Cc: Vedic_research_ institute, USBrahmins@gro ups.com, kk.mehrotra@ ... > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Friday, June 19, 2009, 8:09 PM > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Dear Shri Mehrotra, > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > 1) > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Did you not yourself opine as follows; > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Quote > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > " To me, he appears to be hardly a Vedic scholar " > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Unquote > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Did you expect me to challenge your opinion and go all out to prove myself as a Vedic scholar?

I just simply told him that the Vedic words and the verses have Paroksha and Pratyaksha meanings. Brihadaranyaka Upanishad (4.2.2) says : " paroksha priya hi devaah pratyaksha dvishah " , which means that the gods love the indirect or obscure meanings and dislikes the evident or obvious.

Nirayana Mesha Samkrannti gives phala of whole year in all fields , including agriculture and climate. Similarly, mundane horoscopes for other samkrantis and nakshatra transits yield accurate results only when sidereal method is followed.

Jhaaji is saying it is a age old thing, but there is no problem in being age old.Many times the older, the more truer. Thus let us concentrate in what Dheengraji is saying. > > > > He is saying, the signs of the zodiacs is not on the ecliptic exactly, it is say, plus minus eight or nine degrees on the ecliptic.If it should be true for plus minus eight( or 9) then why it should not be true when it is plus minus forty five degrees?

Moreover, your statement about correspondence of raashis with constellations shows that you are neither a scientist nor an astrologer. If you are a scientist, how can you prove that physical stars or planets can have astrological effects ? If you are a supporter of astrology, why you do not test astrology on the basis of its standard ( " age-old " ) principles before discarding them, which are " age-old " (ie, outdated) for you ? > > > > > > > > > > <<< " Vinayji is saying it is age old point:- i think Vinay ji himself has not checked the position of conestellation on ecliptic...

This is his assertion and subsequently he reasserted that. Assertions and reassertions are after all assertions. He never cared to understand why the constellations in the ecliptic band was chosen in the first place in preference to the constallationa outside the ecliptic band.

It appears to me that he is trying to mean that if the constellations outside the ecliptic band have no effect on man then the constellations within the ecliptic band also would not have any effect on man and therefore the astrology, which involves these useless constellations is also of no use to man. He says so because he does not know in the first place why the constallations in the ecliptic band were chosen preferentially.

It runs as follows, " Astronomer s have divided the sky into 88 constellations. ..the ancient people named these groups of stars after animals and mythological characters.For example, the contellations Leo was named after lion, Pisces after two fish,and Taurus after a bull " .Do you understand that the scientists recognise each rashi as one constellations.

Or go to a library and read them.But do not make the jokes of the century by saying mesh sankranti is not linked to vernal equinox and makar sankranti is not linked to winter solstice.Bhagvatam itself is full of these assertions.I have quoted the description of the Sishumar chakra too. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > OK then good bye for today.Take care. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Hari Malla > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > , Sunil Bhattacharjya <sunil_bhattacharjy a wrote: > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Shri Harimalla, > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > 1) > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Go and discuss calendar reform in calendar group and not here.

I just simply told him that the Vedic words and the verses have Paroksha and Pratyaksha meanings. Brihadaranyaka Upanishad (4.2.2) says : " paroksha priya hi devaah pratyaksha dvishah " , which means that the gods love the indirect or obscure meanings and dislikes the evident or obvious.

Those who are not interested in astrology at all ask such questions. No insult intended. Please do not destroy an astrological forum by putting such meaningless or unclear questions. If Malla Ji feels offended, I apologize, but I must say that he is not really interested in astrology at all. That is why such questions come to his mind. -VJ ============================ === ________________________________ " harimalla " <harimalla Thursday, July 2, 2009 8:16:12 AM Re: Rashi in Vedic literature, the Relevant Chronology and the Sidereal Dear Jhaaji and Rohiniranjanji, I think Rohiniranjanji is quite correct since he said those countries following the sayan system prosper.I will like to add that sayan system gives prosperity and nirayan system give peace.There should be coordination so we get both prosperity and peace. But then all this time there was coordination of the sayan and the nirayan sankrantis when south asia had peade and prosperity. Ever since the breaking of the coordination started, then the downfall also started and the downfall will not improve if we do not re-establlish the coordination again between the sayan and the nirayan sankrantis,between the solar and the lunar dates.This is as clear as daylight, for those who want to see.But to others who are prejudiced,there is no medicine for prejudice as Jhaaji says. Upto the 14 century the coordination between the sayan and the nirayna , the solar and the lunar sankrantis was there.but then after that the connection broke when foreign invasions started and conquered India and the south asian nations. Dear jhaaji will you please enlighten me as to how many bhaavas the two rashis Meen and Mesh are capable of reflecting.Are both capable of reflecting the 12 bhaavas or not? thank you.

Nirayana Mesha Samkrannti gives phala of whole year in all fields , including agriculture and climate. Similarly, mundane horoscopes for other samkrantis and nakshatra transits yield accurate results only when sidereal method is followed. Seasons are tropical, but their regulators are medini (mundane) horoscopes of solar transits into nirayana Raashis and Nakshatras. > > > > Countries which follow tropical astrology have prospered onlt recently.

Jhaaji is saying it is a age old thing, but there is no problem in being age old.Many times the older, the more truer. Thus let us concentrate in what Dheengraji is saying. > > > > > He is saying, the signs of the zodiacs is not on the ecliptic exactly, it is say, plus minus eight or nine degrees on the ecliptic.If it should be true for plus minus eight( or 9) then why it should not be true when it is plus minus forty five degrees?

Moreover, your statement about correspondence of raashis with constellations shows that you are neither a scientist nor an astrologer. If you are a scientist, how can you prove that physical stars or planets can have astrological effects ? If you are a supporter of astrology, why you do not test astrology on the basis of its standard ( " age-old " ) principles before discarding them, which are " age-old " (ie, outdated) for you ? > > > > > > > > > > > > <<< " Vinayji is saying it is age old point:- i think Vinay ji himself has not checked the position of conestellation on ecliptic...

This is his assertion and subsequently he reasserted that. Assertions and reassertions are after all assertions. He never cared to understand why the constellations in the ecliptic band was chosen in the first place in preference to the constallationa outside the ecliptic band. Do you think he is right in ignoring the reasons for the preferential choice of the constallation in theecliptic band? Or should we assume that he is ignorant of the same? > > > > > > > > > > > > He admits that he does not believe in astrology. It appears to me that he is trying to mean that if the constellations outside the ecliptic band have no effect on man then the constellations within the ecliptic band also would not have any effect on man and therefore the astrology, which involves these useless constellations is also of no use to man. He says so because he does not know in the first place why the constallations in the ecliptic band were chosen preferentially.

But you being ignorant about dharma shastra like Dharma sindhu, kala madhav etc talk like a unread and non religious person.. You also do not take the trouble to read them.

Any Vedic scholar will understand that the verses I gave show the presence of Rashi in Veda. Also tell them that all the nine grahas are also in the Veda. Sometimes the terminologies are different. For example, Rahu and Ketu are called Svarabhanu in Veda. The Sun, the Moon and Brihaspati are of course in the same name. I already told AKK that Manu had told that the Kings should consult Astrologers. thereby approving the use of Astrology. If AKK cannot find a copy of the Manu smriti you can tell him that it is in the Internet.

If you think that the Vedic words and the verses do not have any paroksha meaning it is upto you. I have quoted what the Brhadaranyaka Upanishad said.

I just simply told him that the Vedic words and the verses have Paroksha and Pratyaksha meanings. Brihadaranyaka Upanishad (4.2.2) says : " paroksha priya hi devaah pratyaksha dvishah " , which means that the gods love the indirect or obscure meanings and dislikes the evident or obvious. Let him not accept that if he likes. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > I do not claim myself to be an authority on the Veda. But I understand that for proper comprehension of the Vedic verses one must read the Puranas first and then one must also know the Vyakarana, Nirukta and Chanda etc. If this requirement makes someone special then it is so.

Guest guest Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 Dear Vinay, Shri Harimalla is saying that the name of the Rashis should be changed. First let him try to change his own name to Avatar krishen Kaul and see if that is easy. He raises such absurd questions that no sane person ever raised and no sane person will ever raise. Can he show if the Uttarayana occurred in the Makar Rashi in 6000 or 7000 years ago? Uttarayana occurred in Makar arashi for 22 centuries and it is over now. We cannot live in that always. In the ancient times people accepted in whichever Rashi the Uttarayana occurred. The heavenly bodies do not obey our command and we have to respect what is what about the heavenly bodies. Even a child will understand that but he is pretending not to understand. God alone knows what the hidden reasons are. Though he speaks in the name of Dharmashastras he has not quoted so far from any original Dharmashastra.

Those who are not interested in astrology at all ask such questions. No insult intended. Please do not destroy an astrological forum by putting such meaningless or unclear questions.

But then all this time there was coordination of the sayan and the nirayan sankrantis when south asia had peade and prosperity. Ever since the breaking of the coordination started, then the downfall also started and the downfall will not improve if we do not re-establlish the coordination again between the sayan and the nirayan sankrantis,between the solar and the lunar dates.This is as clear as daylight, for those who want to see.But to others who are prejudiced,there is no medicine for prejudice as Jhaaji says. Upto the 14 century the coordination between the sayan and the nirayna , the solar and the lunar sankrantis was there.but then after that the connection broke when foreign invasions started and conquered India and the south asian nations. Dear jhaaji will you please enlighten me as to how many bhaavas the two rashis Meen and Mesh are capable of reflecting.Are both capable of reflecting the 12 bhaavas or not? thank you.

Nirayana Mesha Samkrannti gives phala of whole year in all fields , including agriculture and climate. Similarly, mundane horoscopes for other samkrantis and nakshatra transits yield accurate results only when sidereal method is followed.

Jhaaji is saying it is a age old thing, but there is no problem in being age old.Many times the older, the more truer.

Moreover, your statement about correspondence of raashis with constellations shows that you are neither a scientist nor an astrologer. If you are a scientist, how can you prove that physical stars or planets can have astrological effects ?

This is his assertion and subsequently he reasserted that. Assertions and reassertions are after all assertions. He never cared to understand why the constellations in the ecliptic band was chosen in the first place in preference to the constallationa outside the ecliptic band. Do you think he is right in ignoring the reasons for the preferential choice of the constallation in theecliptic band? Or should we assume that he is ignorant of the same? > > > > > > > > > > > > He admits that he does not believe in astrology. It appears to me that he is trying to mean that if the constellations outside the ecliptic band have no effect on man then the constellations within the ecliptic band also would not have any effect on man and therefore the astrology, which involves these useless constellations is also of no use to man. He says so because he does not know in the first place why the constallations in the ecliptic band were chosen preferentially.

But you being ignorant about dharma shastra like Dharma sindhu, kala madhav etc talk like a unread and non religious person.. You also do not take the trouble to read them.

Or go to a library and read them.But do not make the jokes of the century by saying mesh sankranti is not linked to vernal equinox and makar sankranti is not linked to winter solstice.Bhagvatam itself is full of these assertions.I have quoted the description of the Sishumar chakra too. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > OK then good bye for today.Take care. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Hari Malla > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > , Sunil Bhattacharjya <sunil_bhattacharjy a wrote: > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Shri Harimalla, > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > 1) > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Go and discuss calendar reform in calendar group and not here.

You don't even know that the ecliptic has 27 constellations and not 12.. I made you admit that nothing like consideration of 88 constellations is mentioned in the ancient texts and that these are your own wild ideas. If you want to create a new form of Jyotish shastra please go and do it yourself and publish a book and get the recognition yourself. But don't try to involve me in your absurd ideas.

I have already given reference to the verses, where the Rashis appear in the Vedas, Vedanga Jyotisha and Purana. So why should we panic?

Sathaye could not find the Vedanga jyotisha. I told him where to find the Vedanga Jyotisha, published by INSA. Any Vedic scholar will understand that the verses I gave show the presence of Rashi in Veda. Also tell them that all the nine grahas are also in the Veda. Sometimes the terminologies are different. For example, Rahu and Ketu are called Svarabhanu in Veda. The Sun, the Moon and Brihaspati are of course in the same name. I already told AKK that Manu had told that the Kings should consult Astrologers. thereby approving the use of Astrology. If AKK cannot find a copy of the Manu smriti you can tell him that it is in the Internet.

If you think that the Vedic words and the verses do not have any paroksha meaning it is upto you. I have quoted what the Brhadaranyaka Upanishad said.

I just simply told him that the Vedic words and the verses have Paroksha and Pratyaksha meanings. Brihadaranyaka Upanishad (4.2.2) says : " paroksha priya hi devaah pratyaksha dvishah " , which means that the gods love the indirect or obscure meanings and dislikes the evident or obvious.

Guest guest Posted July 4, 2009 Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 Dear Rohini, In the ancient times we had both the Seasonal (Tropical) and the Sidereeal calendars. The two were existing in side by side without interfering with each other. The Gregorian calendar is originally based on Vedic Seasonal calendar taken to the west much before Jesus Christ was born. Julius ceasar ammended it and then Gregory ammnded it further. Greeks got a lot of knowledge from us. Do you know that Aristotle studies in Takshashila? It is reported that even Plato came to Takshashila. Then in the 4th century BCE Megasthenes learnt from India during his stay in india as the Greek ambassador. Later on Ptolemy sent ambassador to the court of Samudragupta. All these people learnt a lot from India. Best wishes, Sunil K.

Nirayana Mesha Samkrannti gives phala of whole year in all fields , including agriculture and climate. Similarly, mundane horoscopes for other samkrantis and nakshatra transits yield accurate results only when sidereal method is followed.

Jhaaji is saying it is a age old thing, but there is no problem in being age old.Many times the older, the more truer.

Moreover, your statement about correspondence of raashis with constellations shows that you are neither a scientist nor an astrologer. If you are a scientist, how can you prove that physical stars or planets can have astrological effects ?

This is his assertion and subsequently he reasserted that. Assertions and reassertions are after all assertions. He never cared to understand why the constellations in the ecliptic band was chosen in the first place in preference to the constallationa outside the ecliptic band. Do you think he is right in ignoring the reasons for the preferential choice of the constallation in theecliptic band? Or should we assume that he is ignorant of the same? > > > > > > > > > > > > > > He admits that he does not believe in astrology. It appears to me that he is trying to mean that if the constellations outside the ecliptic band have no effect on man then the constellations within the ecliptic band also would not have any effect on man and therefore the astrology, which involves these useless constellations is also of no use to man. He says so because he does not know in the first place why the constallations in the ecliptic band were chosen preferentially.

Has any theoretical astrophysicist done any such work on that and reported the findings in scientific literature?

It runs as follows, " Astronomer s have divided the sky into 88 constellations. ..the ancient people named these groups of stars after animals and mythological characters.For example, the contellations Leo was named after lion, Pisces after two fish,and Taurus after a bull " .Do you understand that the scientists recognise each rashi as one constellations.

Is my expression in English so weak that you are not able to understand its logic? I hope that you do not believe some stars effect us and others do not.Do you think only 12 groups of stars effect us and the remaining 76 groups categorised by science are incapable to effect us?

But you being ignorant about dharma shastra like Dharma sindhu, kala madhav etc talk like a unread and non religious person.. You also do not take the trouble to read them.

Or go to a library and read them.But do not make the jokes of the century by saying mesh sankranti is not linked to vernal equinox and makar sankranti is not linked to winter solstice.Bhagvatam itself is full of these assertions.I have quoted the description of the Sishumar chakra too. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > OK then good bye for today.Take care. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Hari Malla > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > , Sunil Bhattacharjya <sunil_bhattacharjy a wrote: > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Shri Harimalla, > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > 1) > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Go and discuss calendar reform in calendar group and not here.

Any Vedic scholar will understand that the verses I gave show the presence of Rashi in Veda. Also tell them that all the nine grahas are also in the Veda. Sometimes the terminologies are different. For example, Rahu and Ketu are called Svarabhanu in Veda. The Sun, the Moon and Brihaspati are of course in the same name. I already told AKK that Manu had told that the Kings should consult Astrologers. thereby approving the use of Astrology. If AKK cannot find a copy of the Manu smriti you can tell him that it is in the Internet.

I just simply told him that the Vedic words and the verses have Paroksha and Pratyaksha meanings. Brihadaranyaka Upanishad (4.2.2) says : " paroksha priya hi devaah pratyaksha dvishah " , which means that the gods love the indirect or obscure meanings and dislikes the evident or obvious. Let him not accept that if he likes. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > I do not claim myself to be an authority on the Veda. But I understand that for proper comprehension of the Vedic verses one must read the Puranas first and then one must also know the Vyakarana, Nirukta and Chanda etc. If this requirement makes someone special then it is so.

Guest guest Posted July 4, 2009 Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 Dear Sunil-da, I just posted a fact as it exists now and was not trying to definitively connect it to any zodiac, calendar or agenda etc :-) Regardless of how it was perceived, or used by others, here or elsewhere, who responded to the best of their personal perspectives -- and I am ready to believe that they all did so transparently for I am convinced that no one who is posting and sharing on this forum has any ulterior motive or personal sneaky agenda. Essentially, we all are at a beach that faces an OCEAN. For example the Pacific Ocean? Each of us keep tossing a pebble, a stone into the OCEAN and if we time it right when an incoming tide SWELLS in, we have a choice: Did our launch (am talking stones not missiles!) was well planned and well-timed {Consumer} Was the launch responsible for the TIDE? {Creator!} We are back to the original question: Destiny or Free-Will? <<Absolutely no reference to North Korea!>> RR vedic astrology , Sunil Bhattacharjya <sunil_bhattacharjya wrote: > > Dear Rohini, > > In the ancient times we had both the Seasonal (Tropical) and the Sidereeal calendars. The two were existing in side by side without interfering with each other. The Gregorian calendar is originally based on Vedic Seasonal calendar taken to the west much before Jesus Christ was born. Julius ceasar ammended it and then Gregory ammnded it further. Greeks got a lot of knowledge from us. Do you know that Aristotle studies in Takshashila? It is reported that even Plato came to Takshashila. Then in the 4th century BCE Megasthenes learnt from India during his stay in india as the Greek ambassador. Later on Ptolemy sent ambassador to the court of Samudragupta. All these people learnt a lot from India. > > Best wishes, > > Sunil K.

Nirayana Mesha Samkrannti gives phala of whole year in all fields , including agriculture and climate. Similarly, mundane horoscopes for other samkrantis and nakshatra transits yield accurate results only when sidereal method is followed.

Jhaaji is saying it is a age old thing, but there is no problem in being age old.Many times the older, the more truer. Thus let us concentrate in what Dheengraji is saying. > > > > > > > He is saying, the signs of the zodiacs is not on the ecliptic exactly, it is say, plus minus eight or nine degrees on the ecliptic.If it should be true for plus minus eight( or 9) then why it should not be true when it is plus minus forty five degrees? He says we are also marking as on the rashis when actually it is not. > > > > > > > Thus according to Dhreengraji, it should be true for 45 degreees if true for 8 (or 9)degrees.Am I right Dhreengraji? what would Jhaaji and Bhattachrjyaji say?

Moreover, your statement about correspondence of raashis with constellations shows that you are neither a scientist nor an astrologer. If you are a scientist, how can you prove that physical stars or planets can have astrological effects ?

This is his assertion and subsequently he reasserted that. Assertions and reassertions are after all assertions. He never cared to understand why the constellations in the ecliptic band was chosen in the first place in preference to the constallationa outside the ecliptic band. Do you think he is right in ignoring the reasons for the preferential choice of the constallation in theecliptic band? Or should we assume that he is ignorant of the same? > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > He admits that he does not believe in astrology. It appears to me that he is trying to mean that if the constellations outside the ecliptic band have no effect on man then the constellations within the ecliptic band also would not have any effect on man and therefore the astrology, which involves these useless constellations is also of no use to man. He says so because he does not know in the first place why the constallations in the ecliptic band were chosen preferentially.

It runs as follows, " Astronomer s have divided the sky into 88 constellations. ..the ancient people named these groups of stars after animals and mythological characters.For example, the contellations Leo was named after lion, Pisces after two fish,and Taurus after a bull " .Do you understand that the scientists recognise each rashi as one constellations. The 27 constellations of which you have mentioned, are not the scientist's categorisaion but of the eastern daily lunar constellations, we call as nakshyatras.

Is my expression in English so weak that you are not able to understand its logic? I hope that you do not believe some stars effect us and others do not.Do you think only 12 groups of stars effect us and the remaining 76 groups categorised by science are incapable to effect us?

In mythology,it represents the ram with the golden fleece that was sought by Jason and the Argonauts... ..Technically, Aries is no longer the first zodiacal sign because the vernal equinox has moved on into the Pisces, due to the effect of the precession of the equinoxes.

But you being ignorant about dharma shastra like Dharma sindhu, kala madhav etc talk like a unread and non religious person.. You also do not take the trouble to read them.

Or go to a library and read them.But do not make the jokes of the century by saying mesh sankranti is not linked to vernal equinox and makar sankranti is not linked to winter solstice.Bhagvatam itself is full of these assertions.I have quoted the description of the Sishumar chakra too. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > OK then good bye for today.Take care. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Hari Malla > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > , Sunil Bhattacharjya <sunil_bhattacharjy a wrote: > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Shri Harimalla, > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > 1) > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Go and discuss calendar reform in calendar group and not here.

If you think that the Vedic words and the verses do not have any paroksha meaning it is upto you. I have quoted what the Brhadaranyaka Upanishad said.

But your assumption that I am an astrologer is also not correct. I am a retired scientist and with interest in Ancient Indian History, Indian Philosophy and the Jyotish Shastra, which includes Hindu Astronomy and Hindu Astrology..

I just simply told him that the Vedic words and the verses have Paroksha and Pratyaksha meanings. Brihadaranyaka Upanishad (4.2.2) says : " paroksha priya hi devaah pratyaksha dvishah " , which means that the gods love the indirect or obscure meanings and dislikes the evident or obvious.

But I understand that for proper comprehension of the Vedic verses one must read the Puranas first and then one must also know the Vyakarana, Nirukta and Chanda etc. If this requirement makes someone special then it is so.

Nirayana Mesha Samkrannti gives phala of whole year in all fields , including agriculture and climate. Similarly, mundane horoscopes for other samkrantis and nakshatra transits yield accurate results only when sidereal method is followed. Seasons are tropical, but their regulators are medini (mundane) horoscopes of solar transits into nirayana Raashis and Nakshatras. > > > > Countries which follow tropical astrology have prospered onlt recently.

Jhaaji is saying it is a age old thing, but there is no problem in being age old.Many times the older, the more truer. Thus let us concentrate in what Dheengraji is saying. > > > > > He is saying, the signs of the zodiacs is not on the ecliptic exactly, it is say, plus minus eight or nine degrees on the ecliptic.If it should be true for plus minus eight( or 9) then why it should not be true when it is plus minus forty five degrees?

Moreover, your statement about correspondence of raashis with constellations shows that you are neither a scientist nor an astrologer. If you are a scientist, how can you prove that physical stars or planets can have astrological effects ?

This is his assertion and subsequently he reasserted that. Assertions and reassertions are after all assertions. He never cared to understand why the constellations in the ecliptic band was chosen in the first place in preference to the constallationa outside the ecliptic band. Do you think he is right in ignoring the reasons for the preferential choice of the constallation in theecliptic band? Or should we assume that he is ignorant of the same? > > > > > > > > > > > > He admits that he does not believe in astrology. It appears to me that he is trying to mean that if the constellations outside the ecliptic band have no effect on man then the constellations within the ecliptic band also would not have any effect on man and therefore the astrology, which involves these useless constellations is also of no use to man. He says so because he does not know in the first place why the constallations in the ecliptic band were chosen preferentially.

It runs as follows, " Astronomer s have divided the sky into 88 constellations. ..the ancient people named these groups of stars after animals and mythological characters.For example, the contellations Leo was named after lion, Pisces after two fish,and Taurus after a bull " .Do you understand that the scientists recognise each rashi as one constellations. The 27 constellations of which you have mentioned, are not the scientist's categorisaion but of the eastern daily lunar constellations, we call as nakshyatras.

Is my expression in English so weak that you are not able to understand its logic? I hope that you do not believe some stars effect us and others do not.Do you think only 12 groups of stars effect us and the remaining 76 groups categorised by science are incapable to effect us? My understanding is that if 12 groups effects us, then the other 76 groups should also have effected us.What do you think?

But you being ignorant about dharma shastra like Dharma sindhu, kala madhav etc talk like a unread and non religious person.. You also do not take the trouble to read them.

Or go to a library and read them.But do not make the jokes of the century by saying mesh sankranti is not linked to vernal equinox and makar sankranti is not linked to winter solstice.Bhagvatam itself is full of these assertions.I have quoted the description of the Sishumar chakra too. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > OK then good bye for today.Take care. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Hari Malla > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > , Sunil Bhattacharjya <sunil_bhattacharjy a wrote: > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Shri Harimalla, > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > 1) > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Go and discuss calendar reform in calendar group and not here.

Any Vedic scholar will understand that the verses I gave show the presence of Rashi in Veda. Also tell them that all the nine grahas are also in the Veda. Sometimes the terminologies are different. For example, Rahu and Ketu are called Svarabhanu in Veda. The Sun, the Moon and Brihaspati are of course in the same name. I already told AKK that Manu had told that the Kings should consult Astrologers. thereby approving the use of Astrology. If AKK cannot find a copy of the Manu smriti you can tell him that it is in the Internet.

I just simply told him that the Vedic words and the verses have Paroksha and Pratyaksha meanings. Brihadaranyaka Upanishad (4.2.2) says : " paroksha priya hi devaah pratyaksha dvishah " , which means that the gods love the indirect or obscure meanings and dislikes the evident or obvious.

But I understand that for proper comprehension of the Vedic verses one must read the Puranas first and then one must also know the Vyakarana, Nirukta and Chanda etc. If this requirement makes someone special then it is so.

So since the angle of inclination of the earth moves a bit (not exactly sure by how many degrees) as it wobbles, the relative position of the ecliptic belt from a fixed point on earth, eg equator should move too. The belt may still remain+/- 9 degrees but the relative equator would shift perhaps. Does it? That was my question?? > > RR > > , Sunil Bhattacharjya <sunil_bhattacharjy a wrote: > > > > Dear Rohini, > > > > Yes, you are rioght. In the geocentric model the Sun moves round the earth and the path of this movement is called the ecliptic. The planets also move in a belt or band with the ecliptic at its center and the band-width is generally considered to be +/- 9 degrees. > > > > In the heliocentric model (ie. in reality, where the earth is moving round the Sun), the celestial-north- pole (ie. the north pole of the earth) is pointed towards the pole star. Due to the precession the celestial-north- pole moves from one star in the north to another in the north. Thus we have the change of the pole stars at different time intervals. This effect of precession gets reflected in the geocentric model too. > > > > Best wishes, > > > > Sunil K.

Jhaaji is saying it is a age old thing, but there is no problem in being age old.Many times the older, the more truer. Thus let us concentrate in what Dheengraji is saying. > > > He is saying, the signs of the zodiacs is not on the ecliptic exactly, it is say, plus minus eight or nine degrees on the ecliptic.If it should be true for plus minus eight( or 9) then why it should not be true when it is plus minus forty five degrees?

Moreover, your statement about correspondence of raashis with constellations shows that you are neither a scientist nor an astrologer. If you are a scientist, how can you prove that physical stars or planets can have astrological effects ?

This is his assertion and subsequently he reasserted that. Assertions and reassertions are after all assertions. He never cared to understand why the constellations in the ecliptic band was chosen in the first place in preference to the constallationa outside the ecliptic band. Do you think he is right in ignoring the reasons for the preferential choice of the constallation in theecliptic band? Or should we assume that he is ignorant of the same? > > > > > > > > He admits that he does not believe in astrology. It appears to me that he is trying to mean that if the constellations outside the ecliptic band have no effect on man then the constellations within the ecliptic band also would not have any effect on man and therefore the astrology, which involves these useless constellations is also of no use to man. He says so because he does not know in the first place why the constallations in the ecliptic band were chosen preferentially.

Has any theoretical astrophysicist done any such work on that and reported the findings in scientific literature?

It runs as follows, " Astronomer s have divided the sky into 88 constellations. ..the ancient people named these groups of stars after animals and mythological characters.For example, the contellations Leo was named after lion, Pisces after two fish,and Taurus after a bull " .Do you understand that the scientists recognise each rashi as one constellations. The 27 constellations of which you have mentioned, are not the scientist's categorisaion but of the eastern daily lunar constellations, we call as nakshyatras. The scientist are not used to that. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Please do not misquote me and say " also that instead of 12 constellations 88 constellations should be considered in astrology and that it is in the interest of Dharma, even though you yourself do not believe in Phalita Jyotisha. You don't even know that the ecliptic has 27 constellations and not 12. I made you admit that nothing like consideration of 88 constellations is mentioned in the ancient texts and that these are your own wild ideas. " > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Plese listen carefully what I have said and do not misquote me for what I have not said.I have never said 88 constellations should be considered in astrology.I have said only 12 constellations are used in astrology out of total of 88, existing in the sky.I have also said,since only a few constellations (only 12)are taken out of total of 88 as known to be in the sky, it proves that the stars do not effect us directly.I have found you incapable to understand the meaning of this sentence. Is my expression in English so weak that you are not able to understand its logic? I hope that you do not believe some stars effect us and others do not.Do you think only 12 groups of stars effect us and the remaining 76 groups categorised by science are incapable to effect us? My understanding is that if 12 groups effects us, then the other 76 groups should also have effected us.What do you think? Does this not show that actually none of the stars effect us? > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Another point you have not understood although universally accepted is as follows.I again quote the same enclyclopaedia on the definition of Aries. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > " Aries is traditionally known as the first constellation of the zodiac.Aries is symbolized by a ram. In mythology,it represents the ram with the golden fleece that was sought by Jason and the Argonauts... .Technically, Aries is no longer the first zodiacal sign because the vernal equinox has moved on into the Pisces, due to the effect of the precession of the equinoxes. " > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > You see the western people have their own story or purana about the Aries constellations 'Jason and the Argonauts'.Whereas in the hindu mythology, we have no such story.This also proves that it was not originally ours.In their concept, Aries is also equivalent to vernal equinox.Your fixed Aries concept without relationship with the vernal equinox is not only unacceptable from their concept, but also from the concept of our own puranas like the Bhagvatam about mesh rashi.Our Bhagvatam repeats again again that makar sankranti represents uttrayan.Not only that our dharmas shastra like Dharma sindhu also says so. But you being ignorant about dharma shastra like Dharma sindhu, kala madhav etc talk like a unread and non religious person.. You also do not take the trouble to read them. You know only how to stick to your limited knowledge and say if we have to celebrate uttarayan then we can join Christmas parties. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Well why do you not become a christian to do so rather than recommend such a silly propopsal to fellow hindus. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Saying mesh is free from the spring equinox or that makar sankranti is free from uttarayan, you people have shown the ignorance of the century.I can understand you have not read dharma shastras as mentioned above.But what I cannot understand is why do you not purchase a book and read.They are not costly books. Or go to a library and read them.But do not make the jokes of the century by saying mesh sankranti is not linked to vernal equinox and makar sankranti is not linked to winter solstice.Bhagvatam itself is full of these assertions.I have quoted the description of the Sishumar chakra too. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > OK then good bye for today.Take care. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Hari Malla > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > , Sunil Bhattacharjya <sunil_bhattacharjy a wrote: > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Shri Harimalla, > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > 1) > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Go and discuss calendar reform in calendar group and not here. In future please do not talk to me about Calendar reform. You have harassed me enough in the AIA group with your nonsensical ideas such as need for renaming the Rashis and Nakshatras and also that instead of 12 constellations 88 constellations should be considered in astrology and that it is in the interest of Dharma even though you yourself do not believe in Phalita Jyotisha. You don't even know that the ecliptic has 27 constellations and not 12.. I made you admit that nothing like consideration of 88 constellations is mentioned in the ancient texts and that these are your own wild ideas. If you want to create a new form of Jyotish shastra please go and do it yourself and publish a book and get the recognition yourself. But don't try to involve me in your absurd ideas.

I have already given reference to the verses, where the Rashis appear in the Vedas, Vedanga Jyotisha and Purana. So why should we panic?

Any Vedic scholar will understand that the verses I gave show the presence of Rashi in Veda. Also tell them that all the nine grahas are also in the Veda. Sometimes the terminologies are different. For example, Rahu and Ketu are called Svarabhanu in Veda. The Sun, the Moon and Brihaspati are of course in the same name. I already told AKK that Manu had told that the Kings should consult Astrologers. thereby approving the use of Astrology. If AKK cannot find a copy of the Manu smriti you can tell him that it is in the Internet.

I just simply told him that the Vedic words and the verses have Paroksha and Pratyaksha meanings. Brihadaranyaka Upanishad (4.2.2) says : " paroksha priya hi devaah pratyaksha dvishah " , which means that the gods love the indirect or obscure meanings and dislikes the evident or obvious.

Guest guest Posted July 5, 2009 Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 Daear Rohiniranjanji, I am temptd to say that the reason for the ecocnomic ascension you are mentioning is not due to vedic calendar reform, but by adopting the corected sayan Gregorian calendar, which is widely used in India now a days.The true progress and peace can be guaranted when the vedic calendar itself is reformed.

Nirayana Mesha Samkrannti gives phala of whole year in all fields , including agriculture and climate. Similarly, mundane horoscopes for other samkrantis and nakshatra transits yield accurate results only when sidereal method is followed.

Jhaaji is saying it is a age old thing, but there is no problem in being age old.Many times the older, the more truer.

Moreover, your statement about correspondence of raashis with constellations shows that you are neither a scientist nor an astrologer. If you are a scientist, how can you prove that physical stars or planets can have astrological effects ?

This is his assertion and subsequently he reasserted that. Assertions and reassertions are after all assertions. He never cared to understand why the constellations in the ecliptic band was chosen in the first place in preference to the constallationa outside the ecliptic band. Do you think he is right in ignoring the reasons for the preferential choice of the constallation in theecliptic band? Or should we assume that he is ignorant of the same? > > > > > > > > > > > > > > He admits that he does not believe in astrology. It appears to me that he is trying to mean that if the constellations outside the ecliptic band have no effect on man then the constellations within the ecliptic band also would not have any effect on man and therefore the astrology, which involves these useless constellations is also of no use to man. He says so because he does not know in the first place why the constallations in the ecliptic band were chosen preferentially.

Has any theoretical astrophysicist done any such work on that and reported the findings in scientific literature?

It runs as follows, " Astronomer s have divided the sky into 88 constellations. ..the ancient people named these groups of stars after animals and mythological characters.For example, the contellations Leo was named after lion, Pisces after two fish,and Taurus after a bull " .Do you understand that the scientists recognise each rashi as one constellations.

Is my expression in English so weak that you are not able to understand its logic? I hope that you do not believe some stars effect us and others do not.Do you think only 12 groups of stars effect us and the remaining 76 groups categorised by science are incapable to effect us?

But you being ignorant about dharma shastra like Dharma sindhu, kala madhav etc talk like a unread and non religious person.. You also do not take the trouble to read them.

Or go to a library and read them.But do not make the jokes of the century by saying mesh sankranti is not linked to vernal equinox and makar sankranti is not linked to winter solstice.Bhagvatam itself is full of these assertions.I have quoted the description of the Sishumar chakra too. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > OK then good bye for today.Take care. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Hari Malla > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > , Sunil Bhattacharjya <sunil_bhattacharjy a wrote: > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Shri Harimalla, > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > 1) > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Go and discuss calendar reform in calendar group and not here.

Any Vedic scholar will understand that the verses I gave show the presence of Rashi in Veda. Also tell them that all the nine grahas are also in the Veda. Sometimes the terminologies are different. For example, Rahu and Ketu are called Svarabhanu in Veda. The Sun, the Moon and Brihaspati are of course in the same name. I already told AKK that Manu had told that the Kings should consult Astrologers. thereby approving the use of Astrology. If AKK cannot find a copy of the Manu smriti you can tell him that it is in the Internet.

I just simply told him that the Vedic words and the verses have Paroksha and Pratyaksha meanings. Brihadaranyaka Upanishad (4.2.2) says : " paroksha priya hi devaah pratyaksha dvishah " , which means that the gods love the indirect or obscure meanings and dislikes the evident or obvious. Let him not accept that if he likes. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > I do not claim myself to be an authority on the Veda. But I understand that for proper comprehension of the Vedic verses one must read the Puranas first and then one must also know the Vyakarana, Nirukta and Chanda etc. If this requirement makes someone special then it is so.

Guest guest Posted July 5, 2009 Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 Dear Rohini, In the ancient times we had both the Seasonal (Tropical) and the Sidereeal calendars. The two were existing in side by side without interfering with each other. The Gregorian calendar is originally based on Vedic Seasonal calendar taken to the west much before Jesus Christ was born. Julius ceasar ammended it and then Gregory ammnded it further. Greeks got a lot of knowledge from us. Do you know that Aristotle studies in Takshashila? It is reported that even Plato came to Takshashila. Then in the 4th century BCE Megasthenes learnt from India during his stay in india as the Greek ambassador. Later on Ptolemy sent ambassador to the court of Samudragupta. All these people learnt a lot from India. Best wishes, Sunil K.

Nirayana Mesha Samkrannti gives phala of whole year in all fields , including agriculture and climate. Similarly, mundane horoscopes for other samkrantis and nakshatra transits yield accurate results only when sidereal method is followed.

Jhaaji is saying it is a age old thing, but there is no problem in being age old.Many times the older, the more truer. Thus let us concentrate in what Dheengraji is saying.> > > > > > He is saying, the signs of the zodiacs is not on the ecliptic exactly, it is say, plus minus eight or nine degrees on the ecliptic.If it should be true for plus minus eight( or 9) then why it should not be true when it is plus minus forty five degrees? He says we are also marking as on the rashis when actually it is not.> > > > > > Thus according to Dhreengraji, it should be true for 45 degreees if true for 8 (or 9)degrees.Am I right Dhreengraji? what would Jhaaji and Bhattachrjyaji say?

Moreover, your statement about correspondence of raashis with constellations shows that you are neither a scientist nor an astrologer. If you are a scientist, how can you prove that physical stars or planets can have astrological effects ?

This is his assertion and subsequently he reasserted that. Assertions and reassertions are after all assertions. He never cared to understand why the constellations in the ecliptic band was chosen in the first place in preference to the constallationa outside the ecliptic band. Do you think he is right in ignoring the reasons for the preferential choice of the constallation in theecliptic band? Or should we assume that he is ignorant of the same?> > > > > > > > > > > > > > He admits that he does not believe in astrology. It appears to me that he is trying to mean that if the constellations outside the ecliptic band have no effect on man then the constellations within the ecliptic band also would not have any effect on man and therefore the astrology, which involves these useless constellations is also of no use to man. He says so because he does not know in the first place why the constallations in the ecliptic band were chosen preferentially.

It runs as follows,"Astronomer s have divided the sky into 88 constellations. ..the ancient people named these groups of stars after animals and mythological characters.For example, the contellations Leo was named after lion, Pisces after two fish,and Taurus after a bull".Do you understand that the scientists recognise each rashi as one constellations.

I hope that you do not believe some stars effect us and others do not.Do you think only 12 groups of stars effect us and the remaining 76 groups categorised by science are incapable to effect us?

If you think that the Vedic words and the verses do not have any paroksha meaning it is upto you. I have quoted what the Brhadaranyaka Upanishad said.

I just simply told him that the Vedic words and the verses have Paroksha and Pratyaksha meanings. Brihadaranyaka Upanishad (4.2.2) says : "paroksha priya hi devaah pratyaksha dvishah", which means that the gods love the indirect or obscure meanings and dislikes the evident or obvious.

Nirayana Mesha Samkrannti gives phala of whole year in all fields , including agriculture and climate. Similarly, mundane horoscopes for other samkrantis and nakshatra transits yield accurate results only when sidereal method is followed. Seasons are tropical, but their regulators are medini (mundane) horoscopes of solar transits into nirayana Raashis and Nakshatras. > > > > > > > > Countries which follow tropical astrology have prospered onlt recently.

Jhaaji is saying it is a age old thing, but there is no problem in being age old.Many times the older, the more truer.

Moreover, your statement about correspondence of raashis with constellations shows that you are neither a scientist nor an astrologer. If you are a scientist, how can you prove that physical stars or planets can have astrological effects ?

This is his assertion and subsequently he reasserted that. Assertions and reassertions are after all assertions. He never cared to understand why the constellations in the ecliptic band was chosen in the first place in preference to the constallationa outside the ecliptic band. Do you think he is right in ignoring the reasons for the preferential choice of the constallation in theecliptic band? Or should we assume that he is ignorant of the same? > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > He admits that he does not believe in astrology. It appears to me that he is trying to mean that if the constellations outside the ecliptic band have no effect on man then the constellations within the ecliptic band also would not have any effect on man and therefore the astrology, which involves these useless constellations is also of no use to man. He says so because he does not know in the first place why the constallations in the ecliptic band were chosen preferentially.

Or go to a library and read them.But do not make the jokes of the century by saying mesh sankranti is not linked to vernal equinox and makar sankranti is not linked to winter solstice.Bhagvatam itself is full of these assertions.I have quoted the description of the Sishumar chakra too. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > OK then good bye for today.Take care. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Hari Malla > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > , Sunil Bhattacharjya <sunil_bhattacharjy a wrote: > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Shri Harimalla, > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > 1) > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Go and discuss calendar reform in calendar group and not here. In future please do not talk to me about Calendar reform. You have harassed me enough in the AIA group with your nonsensical ideas such as need for renaming the Rashis and Nakshatras and also that instead of 12 constellations 88 constellations should be considered in astrology and that it is in the interest of Dharma even though you yourself do not believe in Phalita Jyotisha. You don't even know that the ecliptic has 27 constellations and not 12.. I made you admit that nothing like consideration of 88 constellations is mentioned in the ancient texts and that these are your own wild ideas. If you want to create a new form of Jyotish shastra please go and do it yourself and publish a book and get the recognition yourself. But don't try to involve me in your absurd ideas.

I have already given reference to the verses, where the Rashis appear in the Vedas, Vedanga Jyotisha and Purana. So why should we panic?

Sathaye could not find the Vedanga jyotisha. I told him where to find the Vedanga Jyotisha, published by INSA. Any Vedic scholar will understand that the verses I gave show the presence of Rashi in Veda. Also tell them that all the nine grahas are also in the Veda. Sometimes the terminologies are different. For example, Rahu and Ketu are called Svarabhanu in Veda. The Sun, the Moon and Brihaspati are of course in the same name. I already told AKK that Manu had told that the Kings should consult Astrologers. thereby approving the use of Astrology. If AKK cannot find a copy of the Manu smriti you can tell him that it is in the Internet.

If a proposal of calendar reform is produced with the rashis included, will that not satisfy you? Why have you to defend the presence of the rashis in the vedas?why so much attachment to phalit jyotish? I am assuming that the purpose of all this discussion is whether to consider the rashis in the calendar reform or not.Why do you phalit people panic to learn that the rashis were not treated in the vedas when all agree that it was dealt with in the puranas. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Since the puranas have also become part of our scriptures or culture, many people will agree to include the rashis as part of our culture.I think be satisfied with this instead of claiming the rashis to be in the vedas by fair means or false.

I just simply told him that the Vedic words and the verses have Paroksha and Pratyaksha meanings. Brihadaranyaka Upanishad (4.2.2) says : " paroksha priya hi devaah pratyaksha dvishah " , which means that the gods love the indirect or obscure meanings and dislikes the evident or obvious.

But I understand that for proper comprehension of the Vedic verses one must read the Puranas first and then one must also know the Vyakarana, Nirukta and Chanda etc. If this requirement makes someone special then it is so.

Guest guest Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 Dear Rohini, I know that you did not refer to calendar and there is no need to refer to calendar in the round of present discussions. But Shri Hari Malla took off tangentially to give it a calendar angle as if to mean that we are following the Gregorian calendar and that is the only reason for our progress. So to set things right I broughrt to the notice of the members that we had both the calendars in the ancient times and without making any comp[romise both the calendar coexisted. Many people are making noise that the Makar Sankranti shoiuld be celebrated on the UIttarayana day. I want to ask them whether they know of any reference which states if the Makar Sankranti was observed when at the beginning of the Treta Yuga the Uttarayana occurred in the Krittika Nakshatra. Plato, the guru of Aristotle, went out of Greece and he is said to have even visited India and that without him the knowledge of India would not have gone to the West (of course, obviously at that time). This is given in a Paper in the journal " Theosophy " , vol.27, No. 10 (August 1939). There is another paper antitled " Plato in Afghanistan and India " , by W.L.Lorimer in American Journal of Philology, vol. 53, No. 2, (1932). After returning from India Plato established an Instiutute of Higher learning in Athens, the first institute of its kind in the West. The university at Takshashila was established a mellennium before Plato's institute in Greece. Herodotus also wrote about India even befpre Plato. However no such mention of the Greek civilistion is there in the ancient Indian texts. Best wishes, Sunil K.

Essentially, we all are at a beach that faces an OCEAN. For example the Pacific Ocean? Each of us keep tossing a pebble, a stone into the OCEAN and if we time it right when an incoming tide SWELLS in, we have a choice: Did our launch (am talking stones not missiles!) was well planned and well-timed {Consumer} Was the launch responsible for the TIDE? {Creator!} We are back to the original question: Destiny or Free-Will? RR vedic astrology, Sunil Bhattacharjya wrote: > > Dear Rohini, > > In the ancient times we had both the Seasonal (Tropical) and the Sidereeal calendars. The two were existing in side by side without interfering with each other. The Gregorian calendar is originally based on Vedic Seasonal calendar taken to the west much before Jesus Christ was born. Julius ceasar ammended it and then Gregory ammnded it further. Greeks got a lot of knowledge from us. Do you know that Aristotle studies in Takshashila? It is reported that even Plato came to Takshashila. Then in the 4th century BCE Megasthenes learnt from India during his stay in india as the Greek ambassador. Later on Ptolemy sent ambassador to the court of Samudragupta. All these people learnt a lot from India. > > Best wishes, > > Sunil K.

Nirayana Mesha Samkrannti gives phala of whole year in all fields , including agriculture and climate. Similarly, mundane horoscopes for other samkrantis and nakshatra transits yield accurate results only when sidereal method is followed. Seasons are tropical, but their regulators are medini (mundane) horoscopes of solar transits into nirayana Raashis and Nakshatras. > > > > > > > > Countries which follow tropical astrology have prospered onlt recently.

Jhaaji is saying it is a age old thing, but there is no problem in being age old.Many times the older, the more truer. Thus let us concentrate in what Dheengraji is saying. > > > > > > > He is saying, the signs of the zodiacs is not on the ecliptic exactly, it is say, plus minus eight or nine degrees on the ecliptic.If it should be true for plus minus eight( or 9) then why it should not be true when it is plus minus forty five degrees?

Moreover, your statement about correspondence of raashis with constellations shows that you are neither a scientist nor an astrologer. If you are a scientist, how can you prove that physical stars or planets can have astrological effects ?

This is his assertion and subsequently he reasserted that. Assertions and reassertions are after all assertions. He never cared to understand why the constellations in the ecliptic band was chosen in the first place in preference to the constallationa outside the ecliptic band. Do you think he is right in ignoring the reasons for the preferential choice of the constallation in theecliptic band? Or should we assume that he is ignorant of the same? > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > He admits that he does not believe in astrology. It appears to me that he is trying to mean that if the constellations outside the ecliptic band have no effect on man then the constellations within the ecliptic band also would not have any effect on man and therefore the astrology, which involves these useless constellations is also of no use to man.

But you being ignorant about dharma shastra like Dharma sindhu, kala madhav etc talk like a unread and non religious person.. You also do not take the trouble to read them.

Or go to a library and read them.But do not make the jokes of the century by saying mesh sankranti is not linked to vernal equinox and makar sankranti is not linked to winter solstice.Bhagvatam itself is full of these assertions.I have quoted the description of the Sishumar chakra too. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > OK then good bye for today.Take care. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Hari Malla > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > , Sunil Bhattacharjya wrote: > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Shri Harimalla, > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > 1) > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Go and discuss calendar reform in calendar group and not here.

Guest guest Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 Dear Bhattacharjyaji, VJ shows that our vedic calendar was coordination between the sayan and the nirayan sytems.when that coordination breaks, then we have to reform our calendar.Thus when the coordination of VJ broke they bought the sidhanta jyotish, and restablished the coordination between sayan and the nirayan.This is evident from Brihat smahita of Barahmihir.You may be well knowing the verse which states clearly that calendar reform was done by re-establishing the coordination between the sayan and the nirayan sankranitis.Thus please know that 'coordination' is the keyword of the vedas.Thus they say when dharma stands on four feet it is satya yuga.These four feet are the feet of coordination of the varius factors in cludiang tropical and sideral values in addition to the sun and the moon.Thus they say makar sankranti is uttarayan.You well know makar sankranti is sidereal but uttrayan is tropical.I hope this clarifies the coordiantion betwen the tropical and the sidereal values? Thank you, Regards, Hari Malla , Sunil Bhattacharjya <sunil_bhattacharjya wrote: > > Dear Rohini, > > In the ancient times we had both the Seasonal (Tropical) and the Sidereeal calendars. The two were existing in side by side without interfering with each other. The Gregorian calendar is originally based on Vedic Seasonal calendar taken to the west much before Jesus Christ was born. Julius ceasar ammended it and then Gregory ammnded it further. Greeks got a lot of knowledge from us. Do you know that Aristotle studies in Takshashila? It is reported that even Plato came to Takshashila. Then in the 4th century BCE Megasthenes learnt from India during his stay in india as the Greek ambassador. Later on Ptolemy sent ambassador to the court of Samudragupta. All these people learnt a lot from India. > > Best wishes, > > Sunil K.

Nirayana Mesha Samkrannti gives phala of whole year in all fields , including agriculture and climate. Similarly, mundane horoscopes for other samkrantis and nakshatra transits yield accurate results only when sidereal method is followed.

Jhaaji is saying it is a age old thing, but there is no problem in being age old.Many times the older, the more truer. Thus let us concentrate in what Dheengraji is saying. > > > > > > > He is saying, the signs of the zodiacs is not on the ecliptic exactly, it is say, plus minus eight or nine degrees on the ecliptic.If it should be true for plus minus eight( or 9) then why it should not be true when it is plus minus forty five degrees? He says we are also marking as on the rashis when actually it is not. > > > > > > > Thus according to Dhreengraji, it should be true for 45 degreees if true for 8 (or 9)degrees.Am I right Dhreengraji? what would Jhaaji and Bhattachrjyaji say?

Moreover, your statement about correspondence of raashis with constellations shows that you are neither a scientist nor an astrologer. If you are a scientist, how can you prove that physical stars or planets can have astrological effects ?

This is his assertion and subsequently he reasserted that. Assertions and reassertions are after all assertions. He never cared to understand why the constellations in the ecliptic band was chosen in the first place in preference to the constallationa outside the ecliptic band. Do you think he is right in ignoring the reasons for the preferential choice of the constallation in theecliptic band? Or should we assume that he is ignorant of the same? > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > He admits that he does not believe in astrology. It appears to me that he is trying to mean that if the constellations outside the ecliptic band have no effect on man then the constellations within the ecliptic band also would not have any effect on man and therefore the astrology, which involves these useless constellations is also of no use to man. He says so because he does not know in the first place why the constallations in the ecliptic band were chosen preferentially.

It runs as follows, " Astronomer s have divided the sky into 88 constellations. ..the ancient people named these groups of stars after animals and mythological characters.For example, the contellations Leo was named after lion, Pisces after two fish,and Taurus after a bull " .Do you understand that the scientists recognise each rashi as one constellations.

Is my expression in English so weak that you are not able to understand its logic? I hope that you do not believe some stars effect us and others do not.Do you think only 12 groups of stars effect us and the remaining 76 groups categorised by science are incapable to effect us?

In mythology,it represents the ram with the golden fleece that was sought by Jason and the Argonauts... ..Technically, Aries is no longer the first zodiacal sign because the vernal equinox has moved on into the Pisces, due to the effect of the precession of the equinoxes.

But you being ignorant about dharma shastra like Dharma sindhu, kala madhav etc talk like a unread and non religious person.. You also do not take the trouble to read them.

Or go to a library and read them.But do not make the jokes of the century by saying mesh sankranti is not linked to vernal equinox and makar sankranti is not linked to winter solstice.Bhagvatam itself is full of these assertions.I have quoted the description of the Sishumar chakra too. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > OK then good bye for today.Take care. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Hari Malla > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > , Sunil Bhattacharjya <sunil_bhattacharjy a wrote: > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Shri Harimalla, > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > 1) > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Go and discuss calendar reform in calendar group and not here.

I am assuming that the purpose of all this discussion is whether to consider the rashis in the calendar reform or not.Why do you phalit people panic to learn that the rashis were not treated in the vedas when all agree that it was dealt with in the puranas. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Since the puranas have also become part of our scriptures or culture, many people will agree to include the rashis as part of our culture.I think be satisfied with this instead of claiming the rashis to be in the vedas by fair means or false. This is just waste of time.When a method of calendar reform is available with the rashis continuing why do you not support such a method of calendar reform? > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Thank you, > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Hari Malla > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > , Sunil Bhattacharjya <sunil_bhattacharjy a wrote: > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > --- On Fri, 6/19/09, sunil_bhattacharjya <sunil_bhattacharjy a wrote: > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > sunil_bhattacharjya <sunil_bhattacharjy a > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Re: [WAVES-Vedic] Re: Rashi in Vedic literature, the Relevant Chronology and the Sidereal > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > WAVES-Vedic > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Cc: Vedic_research_ institute, USBrahmins@gro ups.com, kk.mehrotra@ ... > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Friday, June 19, 2009, 8:09 PM > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Dear Shri Mehrotra, > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > 1) > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Did you not yourself opine as follows; > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Quote > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > " To me, he appears to be hardly a Vedic scholar " > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Unquote > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Did you expect me to challenge your opinion and go all out to prove myself as a Vedic scholar?

Guest guest Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 Shri Harimallaji, VJ has not told us to do any coordintion as both the Nirayana and the Sayana calendars are made with different premises. It just stated what is what. In the modern calendars we are superimposing the Gregarian calendar on the Nirayana calendar. If you want to check ityou can open any Panchang and and at any particular day of the Gregorian calendar, say in July 10, of any particular Gregorian year the panchang will give you the Soli-Lunar month and the tithi etc. The same way VJ wants us to superimpose the Sayana calendar on the Nirayana calendar without any compromise. In Sayana calendar there is no Ayanamsha concept and no Nakshatra concept as it is only Seasonal. For example, If we have to take Shukla Ekadasi of the Tapasya month then take the Shukla Ekadasi of the Particular Nirayana month which corresponds to the Sayana Tapasya month at the present time. Supposing the Tapasya month now corresponds to the Magha month at the present time then take the Magha Shukla Ekadashi as equivlent to The Shukla Ekadashi of the Tapasya month. It is as plane and simple as this. I wrote earlier that the concept of the Gregorian calendar is originally based on the Indian Sayana calendar. Mr A.K.Kaul knows this but his main agenda is to demolish the Nirayana calendar and that way to demolish the Indian astrology and the calendar reform is only a ruse for that. He invited me to his group and I joined his group. Seeing his anti-Hindu tirade Bhaskarji expressed doubt if he is in the role of an anti-Hindu group. Seeing his mail I exclaimd " Oh, I see " and Shri Kaul immediately banned me from his group. Any way he does not have the courage to speak what is what. Please do not unnecessarily complicate issues. Why don't you open your own calendar group and invite all people who are interested in participating in it. Let the Nirayana groups have only people who want to learn Nirayana astrology and people who can contribute in Nirayana astrology. Sincerely, Sunil K. Bhattacharjya PS. I understand you froward your replies to the Hinducalendar group but carefully avoid forwarding our reply mails to that group. Even Shri Kiaul does that in order to give the memebers of that group only the one-sided view. --- On Sun, 7/5/09, harimalla <harimalla wrote: harimalla <harimalla Re: Rashi in Vedic literature, the Relevant Chronology and the Sidereal Sunday, July 5, 2009, 7:29 PM Dear Bhattacharjyaji, VJ shows that our vedic calendar was coordination between the sayan and the nirayan sytems.when that coordination breaks, then we have to reform our calendar.Thus when the coordination of VJ broke they bought the sidhanta jyotish, and restablished the coordination between sayan and the nirayan.This is evident from Brihat smahita of Barahmihir.You may be well knowing the verse which states clearly that calendar reform was done by re-establishing the coordination between the sayan and the nirayan sankranitis. Thus please know that 'coordination' is the keyword of the vedas.Thus they say when dharma stands on four feet it is satya yuga.These four feet are the feet of coordination of the varius factors in cludiang tropical and sideral values in addition to the sun and the moon.Thus they say makar sankranti is uttarayan.You well know makar sankranti is sidereal but uttrayan is tropical.I hope this clarifies the coordiantion betwen the tropical and the sidereal values? Thank you, Regards, Hari Malla , Sunil Bhattacharjya <sunil_bhattacharjy a wrote: > > Dear Rohini, > > In the ancient times we had both the Seasonal (Tropical) and the Sidereeal calendars. The two were existing in side by side without interfering with each other. The Gregorian calendar is originally based on Vedic Seasonal calendar taken to the west much before Jesus Christ was born. Julius ceasar ammended it and then Gregory ammnded it further. Greeks got a lot of knowledge from us. Do you know that Aristotle studies in Takshashila? It is reported that even Plato came to Takshashila. Then in the 4th century BCE Megasthenes learnt from India during his stay in india as the Greek ambassador. Later on Ptolemy sent ambassador to the court of Samudragupta. All these people learnt a lot from India. > > Best wishes, > > Sunil K.

Nirayana Mesha Samkrannti gives phala of whole year in all fields , including agriculture and climate. Similarly, mundane horoscopes for other samkrantis and nakshatra transits yield accurate results only when sidereal method is followed. Seasons are tropical, but their regulators are medini (mundane) horoscopes of solar transits into nirayana Raashis and Nakshatras. > > > > > > > > Countries which follow tropical astrology have prospered onlt recently.

Jhaaji is saying it is a age old thing, but there is no problem in being age old.Many times the older, the more truer.

Moreover, your statement about correspondence of raashis with constellations shows that you are neither a scientist nor an astrologer. If you are a scientist, how can you prove that physical stars or planets can have astrological effects ?

This is his assertion and subsequently he reasserted that. Assertions and reassertions are after all assertions. He never cared to understand why the constellations in the ecliptic band was chosen in the first place in preference to the constallationa outside the ecliptic band. Do you think he is right in ignoring the reasons for the preferential choice of the constallation in theecliptic band? Or should we assume that he is ignorant of the same? > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > He admits that he does not believe in astrology. It appears to me that he is trying to mean that if the constellations outside the ecliptic band have no effect on man then the constellations within the ecliptic band also would not have any effect on man and therefore the astrology, which involves these useless constellations is also of no use to man. He says so because he does not know in the first place why the constallations in the ecliptic band were chosen preferentially.

Has any theoretical astrophysicist done any such work on that and reported the findings in scientific literature?

It runs as follows, " Astronomer s have divided the sky into 88 constellations. ..the ancient people named these groups of stars after animals and mythological characters.For example, the contellations Leo was named after lion, Pisces after two fish,and Taurus after a bull " .Do you understand that the scientists recognise each rashi as one constellations. The 27 constellations of which you have mentioned, are not the scientist's categorisaion but of the eastern daily lunar constellations, we call as nakshyatras.

Is my expression in English so weak that you are not able to understand its logic? I hope that you do not believe some stars effect us and others do not.Do you think only 12 groups of stars effect us and the remaining 76 groups categorised by science are incapable to effect us?

In mythology,it represents the ram with the golden fleece that was sought by Jason and the Argonauts... ..Technically, Aries is no longer the first zodiacal sign because the vernal equinox has moved on into the Pisces, due to the effect of the precession of the equinoxes.

But you being ignorant about dharma shastra like Dharma sindhu, kala madhav etc talk like a unread and non religious person.. You also do not take the trouble to read them.

Or go to a library and read them.But do not make the jokes of the century by saying mesh sankranti is not linked to vernal equinox and makar sankranti is not linked to winter solstice.Bhagvatam itself is full of these assertions.I have quoted the description of the Sishumar chakra too. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > OK then good bye for today.Take care. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Hari Malla > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > , Sunil Bhattacharjya <sunil_bhattacharjy a wrote: > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Shri Harimalla, > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > 1) > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Go and discuss calendar reform in calendar group and not here.

You have harassed me enough in the AIA group with your nonsensical ideas such as need for renaming the Rashis and Nakshatras and also that instead of 12 constellations 88 constellations should be considered in astrology and that it is in the interest of Dharma even though you yourself do not believe in Phalita Jyotisha.

I made you admit that nothing like consideration of 88 constellations is mentioned in the ancient texts and that these are your own wild ideas.

Any Vedic scholar will understand that the verses I gave show the presence of Rashi in Veda. Also tell them that all the nine grahas are also in the Veda. Sometimes the terminologies are different. For example, Rahu and Ketu are called Svarabhanu in Veda. The Sun, the Moon and Brihaspati are of course in the same name. I already told AKK that Manu had told that the Kings should consult Astrologers. thereby approving the use of Astrology. If AKK cannot find a copy of the Manu smriti you can tell him that it is in the Internet.

If you think that the Vedic words and the verses do not have any paroksha meaning it is upto you. I have quoted what the Brhadaranyaka Upanishad said.

But your assumption that I am an astrologer is also not correct. I am a retired scientist and with interest in Ancient Indian History, Indian Philosophy and the Jyotish Shastra, which includes Hindu Astronomy and Hindu Astrology..

I just simply told him that the Vedic words and the verses have Paroksha and Pratyaksha meanings. Brihadaranyaka Upanishad (4.2.2) says : " paroksha priya hi devaah pratyaksha dvishah " , which means that the gods love the indirect or obscure meanings and dislikes the evident or obvious.

But Shri Hari Malla took off tangentially to give it a calendar angle as if to mean that we are following the Gregorian calendar and that is the only reason for our progress. So to set things right I broughrt to the notice of the members that we had both the calendars in the ancient times and without making any comp[romise both the calendar coexisted. Many people are making noise that the Makar Sankranti shoiuld be celebrated on the UIttarayana day. I want to ask them whether they know of any reference which states if the Makar Sankranti was observed when at the beginning of the Treta Yuga the Uttarayana occurred in the Krittika Nakshatra. Plato, the guru of Aristotle, went out of Greece and he is said to have even visited India and that without him the knowledge of India would not have gone to the West (of course, obviously at that time). This is given in a Paper in the journal " Theosophy " , vol.27, No. 10 (August 1939). There is another paper antitled " Plato in Afghanistan and India " , by W.L.Lorimer in American Journal of Philology, vol. 53, No. 2, (1932). After returning from India Plato established an Instiutute of Higher learning in Athens, the first institute of its kind in the West. The university at Takshashila was established a mellennium before Plato's institute in Greece. Herodotus also wrote about India even befpre Plato. However no such mention of the Greek civilistion is there in the ancient Indian texts. Best wishes, Sunil K.

Essentially, we all are at a beach that faces an OCEAN. For example the Pacific Ocean? Each of us keep tossing a pebble, a stone into the OCEAN and if we time it right when an incoming tide SWELLS in, we have a choice: Did our launch (am talking stones not missiles!) was well planned and well-timed {Consumer} Was the launch responsible for the TIDE? {Creator!} We are back to the original question: Destiny or Free-Will? RR vedic astrology, Sunil Bhattacharjya wrote: > > Dear Rohini, > > In the ancient times we had both the Seasonal (Tropical) and the Sidereeal calendars. The two were existing in side by side without interfering with each other. The Gregorian calendar is originally based on Vedic Seasonal calendar taken to the west much before Jesus Christ was born. Julius ceasar ammended it and then Gregory ammnded it further. Greeks got a lot of knowledge from us. Do you know that Aristotle studies in Takshashila? It is reported that even Plato came to Takshashila. Then in the 4th century BCE Megasthenes learnt from India during his stay in india as the Greek ambassador. Later on Ptolemy sent ambassador to the court of Samudragupta. All these people learnt a lot from India. > > Best wishes, > > Sunil K.

Nirayana Mesha Samkrannti gives phala of whole year in all fields , including agriculture and climate. Similarly, mundane horoscopes for other samkrantis and nakshatra transits yield accurate results only when sidereal method is followed. Seasons are tropical, but their regulators are medini (mundane) horoscopes of solar transits into nirayana Raashis and Nakshatras. > > > > > > > > Countries which follow tropical astrology have prospered onlt recently.

Moreover, your statement about correspondence of raashis with constellations shows that you are neither a scientist nor an astrologer. If you are a scientist, how can you prove that physical stars or planets can have astrological effects ?

This is his assertion and subsequently he reasserted that. Assertions and reassertions are after all assertions. He never cared to understand why the constellations in the ecliptic band was chosen in the first place in preference to the constallationa outside the ecliptic band. Do you think he is right in ignoring the reasons for the preferential choice of the constallation in theecliptic band? Or should we assume that he is ignorant of the same? > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > He admits that he does not believe in astrology. It appears to me that he is trying to mean that if the constellations outside the ecliptic band have no effect on man then the constellations within the ecliptic band also would not have any effect on man and therefore the astrology, which involves these useless constellations is also of no use to man. He says so because he does not know in the first place why the constallations in the ecliptic band were chosen preferentially.

But you being ignorant about dharma shastra like Dharma sindhu, kala madhav etc talk like a unread and non religious person.. You also do not take the trouble to read them.

Or go to a library and read them.But do not make the jokes of the century by saying mesh sankranti is not linked to vernal equinox and makar sankranti is not linked to winter solstice.Bhagvatam itself is full of these assertions.I have quoted the description of the Sishumar chakra too. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > OK then good bye for today.Take care. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Hari Malla > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > , Sunil Bhattacharjya wrote: > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Shri Harimalla, > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > 1) > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Go and discuss calendar reform in calendar group and not here.

You have harassed me enough in the AIA group with your nonsensical ideas such as need for renaming the Rashis and Nakshatras and also that instead of 12 constellations 88 constellations should be considered in astrology and that it is in the interest of Dharma even though you yourself do not believe in Phalita Jyotisha. You don't even know that the ecliptic has 27 constellations and not 12.. I made you admit that nothing like consideration of 88 constellations is mentioned in the ancient texts and that these are your own wild ideas. If you want to create a new form of Jyotish shastra please go and do it yourself and publish a book and get the recognition yourself. But don't try to involve me in your absurd ideas.

Guest guest Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 To All Concerned : Gregorian Calendar is utterly unscientific and anti-natural. It is based on artificial months, while Hindu calendar is based on natural motions of Sun and Moon. Gregorian Calendar originally celebrated New Year on hindu Makara Samkraanti or uttarayana when the day of gods begins, but Pope Gregory changed Nwe Year and now New Year starts 13 days before uttarayana. This Gregorian New Year does not coincide with any scientific or natural or even religious event. Gregorian Calendar is based on Tropical Sun. It is also an unscientific and unnatural concept. The apparent path of the Sun round earth is elliptical, and this ellipse rotates gradually due to anomalistic shift at the rate of 135000 years per cycle. Another problem is shift of equinoctial points with respect to fixed points in space at the rate of one cycle per 25771.4 years. As a result of both these motions, a cycle of 21636 years is produced by means of a harmonic relation, which is the chief term of Milankovitch Cycles which affect long term climatic cycles on Earth.These cycles were discovered in 20th century and prove that relative motion of solar ellipse (or Earth's orbit from a heliocentric viewpoint) with respect to fixed sky affects weather upon Earth. It is a great proof in favour of nirayana system, because motion of solar ellipse with respect to fixed sky produces these cycles. It shows Fixed Sky is effective in affecting our climate and cannot be ruled out as meaningless void as supporters of tropicalists say. Tropical calendar takes the Sun's apparent path as the ultimate frame-of-reference in the universe, while nirayana system takes the Absolute non-physical Space as the ultimate frame-of-reference. Mr Hari Malla has revealed his mind in the mail here : India progressed only after it adopted the calendar of Pope Gregory. Further progress will be ensured if the religion of Pope gregory is also adopted in the name of " reformed " Vedic calendar (and later religion) : reformed according to Christian calendar carrying Roman mythology and arbitrary months and New Year. -VJ ==================== == ________________________________ " harimalla " <harimalla Sunday, July 5, 2009 7:38:05 AM Re: Rashi in Vedic literature, the Relevant Chronology and the Sidereal Daear Rohiniranjanji, I am temptd to say that the reason for the ecocnomic ascension you are mentioning is not due to vedic calendar reform, but by adopting the corected sayan Gregorian calendar, which is widely used in India now a days.The true progress and peace can be guaranted when the vedic calendar itself is reformed.

Nirayana Mesha Samkrannti gives phala of whole year in all fields , including agriculture and climate. Similarly, mundane horoscopes for other samkrantis and nakshatra transits yield accurate results only when sidereal method is followed. Seasons are tropical, but their regulators are medini (mundane) horoscopes of solar transits into nirayana Raashis and Nakshatras. > > > > > > Countries which follow tropical astrology have prospered onlt recently.

Jhaaji is saying it is a age old thing, but there is no problem in being age old.Many times the older, the more truer. Thus let us concentrate in what Dheengraji is saying. > > > > > > He is saying, the signs of the zodiacs is not on the ecliptic exactly, it is say, plus minus eight or nine degrees on the ecliptic.If it should be true for plus minus eight( or 9) then why it should not be true when it is plus minus forty five degrees?

Moreover, your statement about correspondence of raashis with constellations shows that you are neither a scientist nor an astrologer. If you are a scientist, how can you prove that physical stars or planets can have astrological effects ?

This is his assertion and subsequently he reasserted that. Assertions and reassertions are after all assertions. He never cared to understand why the constellations in the ecliptic band was chosen in the first place in preference to the constallationa outside the ecliptic band. Do you think he is right in ignoring the reasons for the preferential choice of the constallation in theecliptic band? Or should we assume that he is ignorant of the same? > > > > > > > > > > > > > > He admits that he does not believe in astrology. It appears to me that he is trying to mean that if the constellations outside the ecliptic band have no effect on man then the constellations within the ecliptic band also would not have any effect on man and therefore the astrology, which involves these useless constellations is also of no use to man. He says so because he does not know in the first place why the constallations in the ecliptic band were chosen preferentially.

It runs as follows, " Astronomer s have divided the sky into 88 constellations. ..the ancient people named these groups of stars after animals and mythological characters.For example, the contellations Leo was named after lion, Pisces after two fish,and Taurus after a bull " .Do you understand that the scientists recognise each rashi as one constellations.

But you being ignorant about dharma shastra like Dharma sindhu, kala madhav etc talk like a unread and non religious person.. You also do not take the trouble to read them.

Or go to a library and read them.But do not make the jokes of the century by saying mesh sankranti is not linked to vernal equinox and makar sankranti is not linked to winter solstice.Bhagvatam itself is full of these assertions.I have quoted the description of the Sishumar chakra too. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > OK then good bye for today.Take care. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Hari Malla > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > , Sunil Bhattacharjya <sunil_bhattacharjy a wrote: > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Shri Harimalla, > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > 1) > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Go and discuss calendar reform in calendar group and not here.

If a proposal of calendar reform is produced with the rashis included, will that not satisfy you? Why have you to defend the presence of the rashis in the vedas?why so much attachment to phalit jyotish? I am assuming that the purpose of all this discussion is whether to consider the rashis in the calendar reform or not.Why do you phalit people panic to learn that the rashis were not treated in the vedas when all agree that it was dealt with in the puranas. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Since the puranas have also become part of our scriptures or culture, many people will agree to include the rashis as part of our culture.I think be satisfied with this instead of claiming the rashis to be in the vedas by fair means or false.

Vedas are too vast and it is not easy for one to call oneself as a Vedic scholar.

If you think that the Vedic words and the verses do not have any paroksha meaning it is upto you. I have quoted what the Brhadaranyaka Upanishad said. How do you say that I alone hold about the Paroksha meaning of the Vedic verses? You took the name of Swami Dayanand Saraswati. Ask him about it and report to the forum.

I just simply told him that the Vedic words and the verses have Paroksha and Pratyaksha meanings. Brihadaranyaka Upanishad (4.2.2) says : " paroksha priya hi devaah pratyaksha dvishah " , which means that the gods love the indirect or obscure meanings and dislikes the evident or obvious.

Guest guest Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 Sunil Da, Mr Malla is giving vent to a modern myth that Makar Samkraanti cannot be uttarayana because uttarayana must be based on tropical Sun. It is because the physical Sun has uttarayana with tropical Sun's entry into Makara (on Dec 22-23). This confusion is due to ignorance of the reason due to which nirayana Makara Samkraanti is regarded as uttarayana by Indians. The reason is based on difficult Saurapakshiya theory. Mr Malla ignores simple mathematical proofs, he will pay no attention to difficult ancient notions. Moreover, he said today that India progressed only after it adopted Gregorian Calendar and further progress will be possible only if Vedic calendar is reformed. Uttarayana is ayana or motion of the Sun towards north. Motion with respect to what ? Earth's equatorial Plane extended into sky (naadi-vritta). This uttarayana is certainly saayana. This uttarayana continuously shifts due to precession and anomalistic shift of perihelion. What, then, is the rationale behind Nirayana Uttarayana ? Were all Indians fools to have believed in Nirayana Uttarayana ? Most of moderners do not try to understand the framework of ancient siddhanta, and even learned commentators try to impose modern ideas upon ancient ones wihout even understanding the ancient ideas. For instance, Suryasiddhanta defines ayanamsha as trepidation (libration or pendulum like motion within a maximum limit of 27 degrees on either side) of Bhachakra. Burgess wrongly imposed modern idea of precession, ignoring the fact that modrn precession was known to ancients. Surprisingly, he quoted a verse from Siddhanta-shiromani to refute Suryasiddhantic definition of Ayanamsha, ignoring to cite the next two verses of Siddhanta-shiromani in which Suryasiddhantic verse quoted by Burgess was used by Bhaskar to compute Drikpakshiya precession of modern astronomy. It is wrong to confuse siddhantic ayanamsha with precession, this confusion is a creation of Western writers. Ancient scholars knew that precession and ayanamsha were different phenomena. Once you see that Suryasiddhanta defines ayanamsha as a libration of Bhachakra and not as alibration of Earth's or Sun's orbit, all misgivings about siddhantic ayanamsha created bu dishonest modern commentators will evaporate. Suryasiddhanta never said that any orbit librates in to and fro motion, excepting that of Bhachakra which also has a constant circular motion of one revolution every 60 years (which puts it farther from Saturn and before uranus (84 years). This concept of Bhachakra explains why Uranus, Neptune and Pluto cannot be regarded as grahas. Nine years ago, NASA reported a gigantic tornado of energy like phenomena ~2 billion light years away (=Suryasiddhantic date of Creation) gyrating along an axis at the rate of once per 60 years. This type of phenomenon can be possible only within a black hole, ie within a closed space, which proves the universe to be finite. If the Universe is finite, its matter and space must be finite too and it must have a beginning as well, because space-time and matter are interrelated. Recently, background radion has corroborated the theory of Big Bang, which says the Universe has a Finite Beginning. A finite universe may have some spin, as most of atomic and cosmic bodies possess. Hence, the cycles of manvantaras and mahayugas should not be ruled out. Universe is not uniform. There are many structural levels, like super-galactic clusters and galaxies. Hence there must be various levels of cyclic motions. The nearest level is solar. it has two views. One is astrological : having a limit of 60 astronomical units within which Grahas are astrologically potent. Another is physical, which regards all big bodies as planets which move round the Sun. This second definition has no bearing on astrology. there is no evidence at all that Uranus or Neptue have any astrological influence. some modern Rishis have invented their astrological influences without any basis. Now, if we leave aside the librating motion of this Bhachakra which produces ayanamsha, can we not regard the Fixed Sky beyond it as a fixed reference point for some purposes ? When we define uttarayana with respect to Nakshatras of Bhachakra, we get one type of uttarayana. When we define uttarayana with respect to Fixed Sky beyond the Bhachakra, we get another type of uttarayana. thus, both saayana and nirayana uttarayanas have their their validities. But we must remember that nirayayana is with respect to fixed sky, saayana is not to be defined in terms of precessing equinoxes but with respect to the librating bhachakra which has another constant circular motion of one cycle per 60 years too. These are not my personal views. I have explained some less known points of ancient Siddhanta Jyotisha. it is another matter whether one regards these as right or wrong, but what is important is that we must not spread wrong ideas abour ancient texts and should quote them correctly. -VJ ======================= == ________________________________ " harimalla " <harimalla Monday, July 6, 2009 7:59:15 AM Re: Rashi in Vedic literature, the Relevant Chronology and the Sidereal Dear Bhattacharjyaji, VJ shows that our vedic calendar was coordination between the sayan and the nirayan sytems.when that coordination breaks, then we have to reform our calendar.Thus when the coordination of VJ broke they bought the sidhanta jyotish, and restablished the coordination between sayan and the nirayan.This is evident from Brihat smahita of Barahmihir.You may be well knowing the verse which states clearly that calendar reform was done by re-establishing the coordination between the sayan and the nirayan sankranitis. Thus please know that 'coordination' is the keyword of the vedas.Thus they say when dharma stands on four feet it is satya yuga.These four feet are the feet of coordination of the varius factors in cludiang tropical and sideral values in addition to the sun and the moon.Thus they say makar sankranti is uttarayan.You well know makar sankranti is sidereal but uttrayan is tropical.I hope this clarifies the coordiantion betwen the tropical and the sidereal values? Thank you, Regards, Hari Malla , Sunil Bhattacharjya <sunil_bhattacharjy a wrote: > > Dear Rohini, > > In the ancient times we had both the Seasonal (Tropical) and the Sidereeal calendars. The two were existing in side by side without interfering with each other. The Gregorian calendar is originally based on Vedic Seasonal calendar taken to the west much before Jesus Christ was born. Julius ceasar ammended it and then Gregory ammnded it further. Greeks got a lot of knowledge from us. Do you know that Aristotle studies in Takshashila? It is reported that even Plato came to Takshashila. Then in the 4th century BCE Megasthenes learnt from India during his stay in india as the Greek ambassador. Later on Ptolemy sent ambassador to the court of Samudragupta. All these people learnt a lot from India. > > Best wishes, > > Sunil K.

Nirayana Mesha Samkrannti gives phala of whole year in all fields , including agriculture and climate. Similarly, mundane horoscopes for other samkrantis and nakshatra transits yield accurate results only when sidereal method is followed. Seasons are tropical, but their regulators are medini (mundane) horoscopes of solar transits into nirayana Raashis and Nakshatras. > > > > > > > > Countries which follow tropical astrology have prospered onlt recently.

Jhaaji is saying it is a age old thing, but there is no problem in being age old.Many times the older, the more truer.

Moreover, your statement about correspondence of raashis with constellations shows that you are neither a scientist nor an astrologer. If you are a scientist, how can you prove that physical stars or planets can have astrological effects ?

This is his assertion and subsequently he reasserted that. Assertions and reassertions are after all assertions. He never cared to understand why the constellations in the ecliptic band was chosen in the first place in preference to the constallationa outside the ecliptic band. Do you think he is right in ignoring the reasons for the preferential choice of the constallation in theecliptic band? Or should we assume that he is ignorant of the same? > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > He admits that he does not believe in astrology. It appears to me that he is trying to mean that if the constellations outside the ecliptic band have no effect on man then the constellations within the ecliptic band also would not have any effect on man and therefore the astrology, which involves these useless constellations is also of no use to man. He says so because he does not know in the first place why the constallations in the ecliptic band were chosen preferentially.

It runs as follows, " Astronomer s have divided the sky into 88 constellations. ..the ancient people named these groups of stars after animals and mythological characters.For example, the contellations Leo was named after lion, Pisces after two fish,and Taurus after a bull " .Do you understand that the scientists recognise each rashi as one constellations.

Is my expression in English so weak that you are not able to understand its logic? I hope that you do not believe some stars effect us and others do not.Do you think only 12 groups of stars effect us and the remaining 76 groups categorised by science are incapable to effect us?

In mythology,it represents the ram with the golden fleece that was sought by Jason and the Argonauts... ..Technically, Aries is no longer the first zodiacal sign because the vernal equinox has moved on into the Pisces, due to the effect of the precession of the equinoxes.

But you being ignorant about dharma shastra like Dharma sindhu, kala madhav etc talk like a unread and non religious person.. You also do not take the trouble to read them.

Or go to a library and read them.But do not make the jokes of the century by saying mesh sankranti is not linked to vernal equinox and makar sankranti is not linked to winter solstice.Bhagvatam itself is full of these assertions.I have quoted the description of the Sishumar chakra too. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > OK then good bye for today.Take care. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Hari Malla > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > , Sunil Bhattacharjya <sunil_bhattacharjy a wrote: > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Shri Harimalla, > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > 1) > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Go and discuss calendar reform in calendar group and not here.

Any Vedic scholar will understand that the verses I gave show the presence of Rashi in Veda. Also tell them that all the nine grahas are also in the Veda. Sometimes the terminologies are different. For example, Rahu and Ketu are called Svarabhanu in Veda. The Sun, the Moon and Brihaspati are of course in the same name. I already told AKK that Manu had told that the Kings should consult Astrologers. thereby approving the use of Astrology. If AKK cannot find a copy of the Manu smriti you can tell him that it is in the Internet.

Vedas are too vast and it is not easy for one to call oneself as a Vedic scholar.

I have written in mails what I knew about the Rashi in veda and Purana and you opined that I am not a scholar.

If you think that the Vedic words and the verses do not have any paroksha meaning it is upto you. I have quoted what the Brhadaranyaka Upanishad said.

But your assumption that I am an astrologer is also not correct.

I just simply told him that the Vedic words and the verses have Paroksha and Pratyaksha meanings. Brihadaranyaka Upanishad (4.2.2) says : " paroksha priya hi devaah pratyaksha dvishah " , which means that the gods love the indirect or obscure meanings and dislikes the evident or obvious.

Guest guest Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 Not only there is no mention of the Greek civilisation in the ancient texts. there is also no description of their habitat and the ways of their life. Their very identification as the Yavanas itself is suspect as Bhagadatta, the son of Narakasura, was the King of Kamrupa and he led a group of yavanas to Hastinapur and if one goes by this then the yavanas were the residents of Kamarupa. These Yavanas were not much different from the Danavas as Kamarupa was also the place of the Danavas along with nthe Asuras. Narakasura had Banasura as a contemporary king.also near Kamarupa.

But Shri Hari Malla took off tangentially to give it a calendar angle as if to mean that we are following the Gregorian calendar and that is the only reason for our progress. So to set things right I broughrt to the notice of the members that we had both the calendars in the ancient times and without making any comp[romise both the calendar coexisted. Many people are making noise that the Makar Sankranti shoiuld be celebrated on the UIttarayana day. I want to ask them whether they know of any reference which states if the Makar Sankranti was observed when at the beginning of the Treta Yuga the Uttarayana occurred in the Krittika Nakshatra. Plato, the guru of Aristotle, went out of Greece and he is said to have even visited India and that without him the knowledge of India would not have gone to the West (of course, obviously at that time). This is given in a Paper in the journal " Theosophy " , vol.27, No. 10 (August 1939). There is another paper antitled " Plato in Afghanistan and India " , by W.L.Lorimer in American Journal of Philology, vol. 53, No. 2, (1932). After returning from India Plato established an Instiutute of Higher learning in Athens, the first institute of its kind in the West. The university at Takshashila was established a mellennium before Plato's institute in Greece. Herodotus also wrote about India even befpre Plato. However no such mention of the Greek civilistion is there in the ancient Indian texts. Best wishes, Sunil K.

Essentially, we all are at a beach that faces an OCEAN. For example the Pacific Ocean? Each of us keep tossing a pebble, a stone into the OCEAN and if we time it right when an incoming tide SWELLS in, we have a choice: Did our launch (am talking stones not missiles!) was well planned and well-timed {Consumer} Was the launch responsible for the TIDE? {Creator!} We are back to the original question: Destiny or Free-Will? RR vedic astrology, Sunil Bhattacharjya wrote: > > Dear Rohini, > > In the ancient times we had both the Seasonal (Tropical) and the Sidereeal calendars. The two were existing in side by side without interfering with each other. The Gregorian calendar is originally based on Vedic Seasonal calendar taken to the west much before Jesus Christ was born. Julius ceasar ammended it and then Gregory ammnded it further. Greeks got a lot of knowledge from us. Do you know that Aristotle studies in Takshashila? It is reported that even Plato came to Takshashila. Then in the 4th century BCE Megasthenes learnt from India during his stay in india as the Greek ambassador. Later on Ptolemy sent ambassador to the court of Samudragupta. All these people learnt a lot from India. > > Best wishes, > > Sunil K.

Nirayana Mesha Samkrannti gives phala of whole year in all fields , including agriculture and climate. Similarly, mundane horoscopes for other samkrantis and nakshatra transits yield accurate results only when sidereal method is followed. Seasons are tropical, but their regulators are medini (mundane) horoscopes of solar transits into nirayana Raashis and Nakshatras. > > > > > > > > Countries which follow tropical astrology have prospered onlt recently.

Moreover, your statement about correspondence of raashis with constellations shows that you are neither a scientist nor an astrologer. If you are a scientist, how can you prove that physical stars or planets can have astrological effects ?

This is his assertion and subsequently he reasserted that. Assertions and reassertions are after all assertions. He never cared to understand why the constellations in the ecliptic band was chosen in the first place in preference to the constallationa outside the ecliptic band. Do you think he is right in ignoring the reasons for the preferential choice of the constallation in theecliptic band? Or should we assume that he is ignorant of the same? > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > He admits that he does not believe in astrology. It appears to me that he is trying to mean that if the constellations outside the ecliptic band have no effect on man then the constellations within the ecliptic band also would not have any effect on man and therefore the astrology, which involves these useless constellations is also of no use to man. He says so because he does not know in the first place why the constallations in the ecliptic band were chosen preferentially.

But you being ignorant about dharma shastra like Dharma sindhu, kala madhav etc talk like a unread and non religious person.. You also do not take the trouble to read them.

Or go to a library and read them.But do not make the jokes of the century by saying mesh sankranti is not linked to vernal equinox and makar sankranti is not linked to winter solstice.Bhagvatam itself is full of these assertions.I have quoted the description of the Sishumar chakra too. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > OK then good bye for today.Take care. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Hari Malla > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > , Sunil Bhattacharjya wrote: > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Shri Harimalla, > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > 1) > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Go and discuss calendar reform in calendar group and not here.

You have harassed me enough in the AIA group with your nonsensical ideas such as need for renaming the Rashis and Nakshatras and also that instead of 12 constellations 88 constellations should be considered in astrology and that it is in the interest of Dharma even though you yourself do not believe in Phalita Jyotisha. You don't even know that the ecliptic has 27 constellations and not 12.. I made you admit that nothing like consideration of 88 constellations is mentioned in the ancient texts and that these are your own wild ideas.

Guest guest Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 Dear Dada, If all Greeks and references to Greeks and their civilization were removed from Human History -- how would have the world looked? Sometimes it is best to REBOOT as we computer junkies that meet and chat here must surely have experienced? We can eliminate GREEK thoughts, then next week the ROMAN thoughts the next day MAYAN thoughts then the JEWS and BUDDHISTS and on and on! I think it is the way to go! We eliminate and isn't that what neti-neti is all about? What remains after all those purgations? vedic astrology , Sunil Bhattacharjya <sunil_bhattacharjya wrote: > > Not only there is no mention of the Greek civilisation in the ancient texts. there is also no description of their habitat and the ways of their life. Their very identification as the Yavanas itself is suspect as Bhagadatta, the son of Narakasura, was the King of Kamrupa and he led a group of yavanas to Hastinapur and if one goes by this then the yavanas were the residents of Kamarupa. These Yavanas were not much different from the Danavas as Kamarupa was also the place of the Danavas along with nthe Asuras.

But Shri Hari Malla took off tangentially to give it a calendar angle as if to mean that we are following the Gregorian calendar and that is the only reason for our progress. So to set things right I broughrt to the notice of the members that we had both the calendars in the ancient times and without making any comp[romise both the calendar coexisted. Many people are making noise that the Makar Sankranti shoiuld be celebrated on the UIttarayana day. I want to ask them whether they know of any reference which states if the Makar Sankranti was observed when at the beginning of the Treta Yuga the Uttarayana occurred in the Krittika Nakshatra. > > Plato, the guru of Aristotle, went out of Greece and he is said to have even visited India and that without him the knowledge of India would not have gone to the West (of course, obviously at that time). This is given in a Paper in the journal " Theosophy " , vol.27, No. 10 (August 1939). There is another paper antitled " Plato in Afghanistan and India " , by W.L.Lorimer in American Journal of Philology, vol. 53, No. 2, (1932). After returning from India Plato established an Instiutute of Higher learning in Athens, the first institute of its kind in the West. The university at Takshashila was established a mellennium before Plato's institute in Greece. Herodotus also wrote about India even befpre Plato. However no such mention of the Greek civilistion is there in the ancient Indian texts. > > Best wishes, > > Sunil K.

The two were existing in side by side without interfering with each other. The Gregorian calendar is originally based on Vedic Seasonal calendar taken to the west much before Jesus Christ was born. Julius ceasar ammended it and then Gregory ammnded it further. Greeks got a lot of knowledge from us. Do you know that Aristotle studies in Takshashila? It is reported that even Plato came to Takshashila. Then in the 4th century BCE Megasthenes learnt from India during his stay in india as the Greek ambassador. Later on Ptolemy sent ambassador to the court of Samudragupta. All these people learnt a lot from India. > > > > Best wishes, > > > > Sunil K.

Nirayana Mesha Samkrannti gives phala of whole year in all fields , including agriculture and climate. Similarly, mundane horoscopes for other samkrantis and nakshatra transits yield accurate results only when sidereal method is followed. Seasons are tropical, but their regulators are medini (mundane) horoscopes of solar transits into nirayana Raashis and Nakshatras. > > > > > > > > > > Countries which follow tropical astrology have prospered onlt recently.

Moreover, your statement about correspondence of raashis with constellations shows that you are neither a scientist nor an astrologer. If you are a scientist, how can you prove that physical stars or planets can have astrological effects ?

This is his assertion and subsequently he reasserted that. Assertions and reassertions are after all assertions.

Is my expression in English so weak that you are not able to understand its logic? I hope that you do not believe some stars effect us and others do not.Do you think only 12 groups of stars effect us and the remaining 76 groups categorised by science are incapable to effect us?

In mythology,it represents the ram with the golden fleece that was sought by Jason and the Argonauts... .Technically, Aries is no longer the first zodiacal sign because the vernal equinox has moved on into the Pisces, due to the effect of the precession of the equinoxes.

But you being ignorant about dharma shastra like Dharma sindhu, kala madhav etc talk like a unread and non religious person.. You also do not take the trouble to read them.

Or go to a library and read them.But do not make the jokes of the century by saying mesh sankranti is not linked to vernal equinox and makar sankranti is not linked to winter solstice.Bhagvatam itself is full of these assertions.I have quoted the description of the Sishumar chakra too. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > OK then good bye for today.Take care. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Hari Malla > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > , Sunil Bhattacharjya wrote: > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Shri Harimalla, > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > 1) > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Go and discuss calendar reform in calendar group and not here. In future please do not talk to me about Calendar reform. You have harassed me enough in the AIA group with your nonsensical ideas such as need for renaming the Rashis and Nakshatras and also that instead of 12 constellations 88 constellations should be considered in astrology and that it is in the interest of Dharma even though you yourself do not believe in Phalita Jyotisha. You don't even know that the ecliptic has 27 constellations and not 12..

Guest guest Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 Dear Vinay, The Nirayana and the Sayana have both been useful from the acient times. According to the Milankovitch cycle the Summer will occur around June after 12,000 years and that should happen in the Sayana calendar too due to the precession. I think there may be some not-so-obvious correspondence between them and only the hardcore astronomers have to say on this.

It is based on artificial months, while Hindu calendar is based on natural motions of Sun and Moon. Gregorian Calendar originally celebrated New Year on hindu Makara Samkraanti or uttarayana when the day of gods begins, but Pope Gregory changed Nwe Year and now New Year starts 13 days before uttarayana. This Gregorian New Year does not coincide with any scientific or natural or even religious event. Gregorian Calendar is based on Tropical Sun. It is also an unscientific and unnatural concept. The apparent path of the Sun round earth is elliptical, and this ellipse rotates gradually due to anomalistic shift at the rate of 135000 years per cycle. Another problem is shift of equinoctial points with respect to fixed points in space at the rate of one cycle per 25771.4 years. As a result of both these motions, a cycle of 21636 years is produced by means of a harmonic relation, which is the chief term of Milankovitch Cycles which affect long term climatic cycles on Earth.These cycles were discovered in 20th century and prove that relative motion of solar ellipse (or Earth's orbit from a heliocentric viewpoint) with respect to fixed sky affects weather upon Earth. It is a great proof in favour of nirayana system, because motion of solar ellipse with respect to fixed sky produces these cycles. It shows Fixed Sky is effective in affecting our climate and cannot be ruled out as meaningless void as supporters of tropicalists say. Tropical calendar takes the Sun's apparent path as the ultimate frame-of-reference in the universe, while nirayana system takes the Absolute non-physical Space as the ultimate frame-of-reference. Mr Hari Malla has revealed his mind in the mail here : India progressed only after it adopted the calendar of Pope Gregory. Further progress will be ensured if the religion of Pope gregory is also adopted in the name of " reformed " Vedic calendar (and later religion) : reformed according to Christian calendar carrying Roman mythology and arbitrary months and New Year. -VJ ============ ======== == ____________ _________ _________ __ " harimalla@rocketmai l.com " <harimalla@rocketmai l.com> Sunday, July 5, 2009 7:38:05 AM Re: Rashi in Vedic literature, the Relevant Chronology and the Sidereal Daear Rohiniranjanji, I am temptd to say that the reason for the ecocnomic ascension you are mentioning is not due to vedic calendar reform, but by adopting the corected sayan Gregorian calendar, which is widely used in India now a days.The true progress and peace can be guaranted when the vedic calendar itself is reformed.

Nirayana Mesha Samkrannti gives phala of whole year in all fields , including agriculture and climate. Similarly, mundane horoscopes for other samkrantis and nakshatra transits yield accurate results only when sidereal method is followed.

Jhaaji is saying it is a age old thing, but there is no problem in being age old.Many times the older, the more truer.

If you are a scientist, how can you prove that physical stars or planets can have astrological effects ?

This is his assertion and subsequently he reasserted that. Assertions and reassertions are after all assertions. He never cared to understand why the constellations in the ecliptic band was chosen in the first place in preference to the constallationa outside the ecliptic band. Do you think he is right in ignoring the reasons for the preferential choice of the constallation in theecliptic band? Or should we assume that he is ignorant of the same? > > > > > > > > > > > > > > He admits that he does not believe in astrology. It appears to me that he is trying to mean that if the constellations outside the ecliptic band have no effect on man then the constellations within the ecliptic band also would not have any effect on man and therefore the astrology, which involves these useless constellations is also of no use to man. He says so because he does not know in the first place why the constallations in the ecliptic band were chosen preferentially.

It runs as follows, " Astronomer s have divided the sky into 88 constellations. ..the ancient people named these groups of stars after animals and mythological characters.For example, the contellations Leo was named after lion, Pisces after two fish,and Taurus after a bull " .Do you understand that the scientists recognise each rashi as one constellations.

But you being ignorant about dharma shastra like Dharma sindhu, kala madhav etc talk like a unread and non religious person.. You also do not take the trouble to read them.

Or go to a library and read them.But do not make the jokes of the century by saying mesh sankranti is not linked to vernal equinox and makar sankranti is not linked to winter solstice.Bhagvatam itself is full of these assertions.I have quoted the description of the Sishumar chakra too. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > OK then good bye for today.Take care. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Hari Malla > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > , Sunil Bhattacharjya <sunil_bhattacharjy a wrote: > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Shri Harimalla, > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > 1) > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Go and discuss calendar reform in calendar group and not here.

If a proposal of calendar reform is produced with the rashis included, will that not satisfy you? Why have you to defend the presence of the rashis in the vedas?why so much attachment to phalit jyotish?

If you think that the Vedic words and the verses do not have any paroksha meaning it is upto you. I have quoted what the Brhadaranyaka Upanishad said. How do you say that I alone hold about the Paroksha meaning of the Vedic verses? You took the name of Swami Dayanand Saraswati. Ask him about it and report to the forum.

I just simply told him that the Vedic words and the verses have Paroksha and Pratyaksha meanings. Brihadaranyaka Upanishad (4.2.2) says : " paroksha priya hi devaah pratyaksha dvishah " , which means that the gods love the indirect or obscure meanings and dislikes the evident or obvious.

Guest guest Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 Sunil Da, Bhagadatta is clearly described as an Asura and not as an Yavana. all yavanas fought on the side of Kauravas. Bhagadatta was one of leading commanders of Kauravas. If he led some yavanas too, among others, it does not mean yavanas came from Kamrupa. Yavana is derived from Ionia, the letter " I " in Ionia carried a mark which was pronounced as " Ya " in Greek but later influence of Semitic script for this Aryan language distorted the pronumciation as well and now Ionia is pronounced according to its Semitic (Roman, derived from Hebrew ) script and not according to its original pronunciation. There are numerous instances of Yavana used for Greeks in ancient literature. Read Milinda Panho, in which King Milinda (Minander) was a yavana. Alexander and Greek ambassadors are called as yavanas in ancient Indian literature. The Sanskrit term Yavanika was borrowed from Greek drama which was played not is halls but in open fields and needed curtains ; indian drama did not need curtains originally and has no native term for Yavanika (curtain for drama). -VJ ====================== == ________________________________ Sunil Bhattacharjya <sunil_bhattacharjya vedic astrology Tuesday, July 7, 2009 7:08:22 AM Re: [vedic astrology] Re: Rashi in Vedic literature, the Relevant Chronology and the Sidereal Not only there is no mention of the Greek civilisation in the ancient texts. there is also no description of their habitat and the ways of their life. Their very identification as the Yavanas itself is suspect as Bhagadatta, the son of Narakasura, was the King of Kamrupa and he led a group of yavanas to Hastinapur and if one goes by this then the yavanas were the residents of Kamarupa. These Yavanas were not much different from the Danavas as Kamarupa was also the place of the Danavas along with nthe Asuras. Narakasura had Banasura as a contemporary king.also near Kamarupa.

But Shri Hari Malla took off tangentially to give it a calendar angle as if to mean that we are following the Gregorian calendar and that is the only reason for our progress. So to set things right I broughrt to the notice of the members that we had both the calendars in the ancient times and without making any comp[romise both the calendar coexisted. Many people are making noise that the Makar Sankranti shoiuld be celebrated on the UIttarayana day. I want to ask them whether they know of any reference which states if the Makar Sankranti was observed when at the beginning of the Treta Yuga the Uttarayana occurred in the Krittika Nakshatra. Plato, the guru of Aristotle, went out of Greece and he is said to have even visited India and that without him the knowledge of India would not have gone to the West (of course, obviously at that time). This is given in a Paper in the journal " Theosophy " , vol.27, No. 10 (August 1939). There is another paper antitled " Plato in Afghanistan and India " , by W.L.Lorimer in American Journal of Philology, vol. 53, No. 2, (1932). After returning from India Plato established an Instiutute of Higher learning in Athens, the first institute of its kind in the West. The university at Takshashila was established a mellennium before Plato's institute in Greece. Herodotus also wrote about India even befpre Plato. However no such mention of the Greek civilistion is there in the ancient Indian texts. Best wishes, Sunil K.

Essentially, we all are at a beach that faces an OCEAN. For example the Pacific Ocean? Each of us keep tossing a pebble, a stone into the OCEAN and if we time it right when an incoming tide SWELLS in, we have a choice: Did our launch (am talking stones not missiles!) was well planned and well-timed {Consumer} Was the launch responsible for the TIDE? {Creator!} We are back to the original question: Destiny or Free-Will? RR vedic astrology, Sunil Bhattacharjya wrote: > > Dear Rohini, > > In the ancient times we had both the Seasonal (Tropical) and the Sidereeal calendars. The two were existing in side by side without interfering with each other. The Gregorian calendar is originally based on Vedic Seasonal calendar taken to the west much before Jesus Christ was born. Julius ceasar ammended it and then Gregory ammnded it further. Greeks got a lot of knowledge from us. Do you know that Aristotle studies in Takshashila? It is reported that even Plato came to Takshashila. Then in the 4th century BCE Megasthenes learnt from India during his stay in india as the Greek ambassador. Later on Ptolemy sent ambassador to the court of Samudragupta. All these people learnt a lot from India. > > Best wishes, > > Sunil K.

Nirayana Mesha Samkrannti gives phala of whole year in all fields , including agriculture and climate. Similarly, mundane horoscopes for other samkrantis and nakshatra transits yield accurate results only when sidereal method is followed. Seasons are tropical, but their regulators are medini (mundane) horoscopes of solar transits into nirayana Raashis and Nakshatras. > > > > > > > > Countries which follow tropical astrology have prospered onlt recently.

Moreover, your statement about correspondence of raashis with constellations shows that you are neither a scientist nor an astrologer. If you are a scientist, how can you prove that physical stars or planets can have astrological effects ?

This is his assertion and subsequently he reasserted that. Assertions and reassertions are after all assertions. He never cared to understand why the constellations in the ecliptic band was chosen in the first place in preference to the constallationa outside the ecliptic band. Do you think he is right in ignoring the reasons for the preferential choice of the constallation in theecliptic band? Or should we assume that he is ignorant of the same? > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > He admits that he does not believe in astrology. It appears to me that he is trying to mean that if the constellations outside the ecliptic band have no effect on man then the constellations within the ecliptic band also would not have any effect on man and therefore the astrology, which involves these useless constellations is also of no use to man. He says so because he does not know in the first place why the constallations in the ecliptic band were chosen preferentially.

Guest guest Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 Sunil Da, There are ample description about yavanas in ancient Sankrit litearure. Even MBh which you quote describes their apparel, beards, etc. The meaning of Yavana changed with time. Originally, it implied those who " fled away " from Aryavarta due to their " mixed " samskaaras and ways of life ( the very term yavana also means to flee away and to mix). It also implied a hybrid varna made out of Kshatriya and Vaishya. Greeks excelled in war and commerce. In later ages, it was used for Alexander's armies & c and Bactrians, and much later, this term was used unscrupulosly for Arabs, all muslims, etc. -VJ ==================== == ________________________________ Sunil Bhattacharjya <sunil_bhattacharjya vedic astrology Tuesday, July 7, 2009 7:08:22 AM Re: [vedic astrology] Re: Rashi in Vedic literature, the Relevant Chronology and the Sidereal Not only there is no mention of the Greek civilisation in the ancient texts. there is also no description of their habitat and the ways of their life. Their very identification as the Yavanas itself is suspect as Bhagadatta, the son of Narakasura, was the King of Kamrupa and he led a group of yavanas to Hastinapur and if one goes by this then the yavanas were the residents of Kamarupa. These Yavanas were not much different from the Danavas as Kamarupa was also the place of the Danavas along with nthe Asuras. Narakasura had Banasura as a contemporary king.also near Kamarupa.

But Shri Hari Malla took off tangentially to give it a calendar angle as if to mean that we are following the Gregorian calendar and that is the only reason for our progress. So to set things right I broughrt to the notice of the members that we had both the calendars in the ancient times and without making any comp[romise both the calendar coexisted. Many people are making noise that the Makar Sankranti shoiuld be celebrated on the UIttarayana day. I want to ask them whether they know of any reference which states if the Makar Sankranti was observed when at the beginning of the Treta Yuga the Uttarayana occurred in the Krittika Nakshatra. Plato, the guru of Aristotle, went out of Greece and he is said to have even visited India and that without him the knowledge of India would not have gone to the West (of course, obviously at that time). This is given in a Paper in the journal " Theosophy " , vol.27, No. 10 (August 1939). There is another paper antitled " Plato in Afghanistan and India " , by W.L.Lorimer in American Journal of Philology, vol. 53, No. 2, (1932). After returning from India Plato established an Instiutute of Higher learning in Athens, the first institute of its kind in the West. The university at Takshashila was established a mellennium before Plato's institute in Greece. Herodotus also wrote about India even befpre Plato. However no such mention of the Greek civilistion is there in the ancient Indian texts. Best wishes, Sunil K.

Essentially, we all are at a beach that faces an OCEAN. For example the Pacific Ocean? Each of us keep tossing a pebble, a stone into the OCEAN and if we time it right when an incoming tide SWELLS in, we have a choice: Did our launch (am talking stones not missiles!) was well planned and well-timed {Consumer} Was the launch responsible for the TIDE? {Creator!} We are back to the original question: Destiny or Free-Will? RR vedic astrology, Sunil Bhattacharjya wrote: > > Dear Rohini, > > In the ancient times we had both the Seasonal (Tropical) and the Sidereeal calendars. The two were existing in side by side without interfering with each other. The Gregorian calendar is originally based on Vedic Seasonal calendar taken to the west much before Jesus Christ was born. Julius ceasar ammended it and then Gregory ammnded it further. Greeks got a lot of knowledge from us. Do you know that Aristotle studies in Takshashila? It is reported that even Plato came to Takshashila. Then in the 4th century BCE Megasthenes learnt from India during his stay in india as the Greek ambassador. Later on Ptolemy sent ambassador to the court of Samudragupta. All these people learnt a lot from India. > > Best wishes, > > Sunil K.

Nirayana Mesha Samkrannti gives phala of whole year in all fields , including agriculture and climate. Similarly, mundane horoscopes for other samkrantis and nakshatra transits yield accurate results only when sidereal method is followed.

Moreover, your statement about correspondence of raashis with constellations shows that you are neither a scientist nor an astrologer. If you are a scientist, how can you prove that physical stars or planets can have astrological effects ?

This is his assertion and subsequently he reasserted that. Assertions and reassertions are after all assertions. He never cared to understand why the constellations in the ecliptic band was chosen in the first place in preference to the constallationa outside the ecliptic band. Do you think he is right in ignoring the reasons for the preferential choice of the constallation in theecliptic band? Or should we assume that he is ignorant of the same? > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > He admits that he does not believe in astrology. It appears to me that he is trying to mean that if the constellations outside the ecliptic band have no effect on man then the constellations within the ecliptic band also would not have any effect on man and therefore the astrology, which involves these useless constellations is also of no use to man. He says so because he does not know in the first place why the constallations in the ecliptic band were chosen preferentially.

Even MBh which you quote describes their apparel, beards, etc. The meaning of Yavana changed with time. Originally, it implied those who " fled away " from Aryavarta due to their " mixed " samskaaras and ways of life ( the very term yavana also means to flee away and to mix). It also implied a hybrid varna made out of Kshatriya and Vaishya. Greeks excelled in war and commerce. In later ages, it was used for Alexander's armies & c and Bactrians, and much later, this term was used unscrupulosly for Arabs, all muslims, etc. -VJ ============ ======== == ____________ _________ _________ __ Sunil Bhattacharjya <sunil_bhattacharjya @> vedic astrology Tuesday, July 7, 2009 7:08:22 AM Re: [vedic astrology] Re: Rashi in Vedic literature, the Relevant Chronology and the Sidereal Not only there is no mention of the Greek civilisation in the ancient texts. there is also no description of their habitat and the ways of their life. Their very identification as the Yavanas itself is suspect as Bhagadatta, the son of Narakasura, was the King of Kamrupa and he led a group of yavanas to Hastinapur and if one goes by this then the yavanas were the residents of Kamarupa. These Yavanas were not much different from the Danavas as Kamarupa was also the place of the Danavas along with nthe Asuras. Narakasura had Banasura as a contemporary king.also near Kamarupa.

But Shri Hari Malla took off tangentially to give it a calendar angle as if to mean that we are following the Gregorian calendar and that is the only reason for our progress. So to set things right I broughrt to the notice of the members that we had both the calendars in the ancient times and without making any comp[romise both the calendar coexisted. Many people are making noise that the Makar Sankranti shoiuld be celebrated on the UIttarayana day. I want to ask them whether they know of any reference which states if the Makar Sankranti was observed when at the beginning of the Treta Yuga the Uttarayana occurred in the Krittika Nakshatra. Plato, the guru of Aristotle, went out of Greece and he is said to have even visited India and that without him the knowledge of India would not have gone to the West (of course, obviously at that time). This is given in a Paper in the journal " Theosophy " , vol.27, No. 10 (August 1939). There is another paper antitled " Plato in Afghanistan and India " , by W.L.Lorimer in American Journal of Philology, vol. 53, No. 2, (1932). After returning from India Plato established an Instiutute of Higher learning in Athens, the first institute of its kind in the West. The university at Takshashila was established a mellennium before Plato's institute in Greece. Herodotus also wrote about India even befpre Plato. However no such mention of the Greek civilistion is there in the ancient Indian texts. Best wishes, Sunil K.

Essentially, we all are at a beach that faces an OCEAN. For example the Pacific Ocean? Each of us keep tossing a pebble, a stone into the OCEAN and if we time it right when an incoming tide SWELLS in, we have a choice: Did our launch (am talking stones not missiles!) was well planned and well-timed {Consumer} Was the launch responsible for the TIDE? {Creator!} We are back to the original question: Destiny or Free-Will?

The two were existing in side by side without interfering with each other. The Gregorian calendar is originally based on Vedic Seasonal calendar taken to the west much before Jesus Christ was born. Julius ceasar ammended it and then Gregory ammnded it further. Greeks got a lot of knowledge from us. Do you know that Aristotle studies in Takshashila? It is reported that even Plato came to Takshashila. Then in the 4th century BCE Megasthenes learnt from India during his stay in india as the Greek ambassador. Later on Ptolemy sent ambassador to the court of Samudragupta. All these people learnt a lot from India. > > Best wishes, > > Sunil K.

Similarly, mundane horoscopes for other samkrantis and nakshatra transits yield accurate results only when sidereal method is followed.

Moreover, your statement about correspondence of raashis with constellations shows that you are neither a scientist nor an astrologer. If you are a scientist, how can you prove that physical stars or planets can have astrological effects ?

This is his assertion and subsequently he reasserted that. Assertions and reassertions are after all assertions. He never cared to understand why the constellations in the ecliptic band was chosen in the first place in preference to the constallationa outside the ecliptic band. Do you think he is right in ignoring the reasons for the preferential choice of the constallation in theecliptic band? Or should we assume that he is ignorant of the same? > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > He admits that he does not believe in astrology. It appears to me that he is trying to mean that if the constellations outside the ecliptic band have no effect on man then the constellations within the ecliptic band also would not have any effect on man and therefore the astrology, which involves these useless constellations is also of no use to man. He says so because he does not know in the first place why the constallations in the ecliptic band were chosen preferentially.

Has any theoretical astrophysicist done any such work on that and reported the findings in scientific literature?

Guest guest Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 Bhagadatta brought the Yavanas from his land as far as I remember reading about it. --- On Tue, 7/7/09, Vinay Jha <vinayjhaa16 wrote: Vinay Jha <vinayjhaa16 Re: [vedic astrology] Re: Rashi in Vedic literature, the Relevant Chronology and the Sidereal vedic astrology Tuesday, July 7, 2009, 12:00 AM Sunil Da, Bhagadatta is clearly described as an Asura and not as an Yavana. all yavanas fought on the side of Kauravas. Bhagadatta was one of leading commanders of Kauravas. If he led some yavanas too, among others, it does not mean yavanas came from Kamrupa. Yavana is derived from Ionia, the letter " I " in Ionia carried a mark which was pronounced as " Ya " in Greek but later influence of Semitic script for this Aryan language distorted the pronumciation as well and now Ionia is pronounced according to its Semitic (Roman, derived from Hebrew ) script and not according to its original pronunciation. There are numerous instances of Yavana used for Greeks in ancient literature. Read Milinda Panho, in which King Milinda (Minander) was a yavana. Alexander and Greek ambassadors are called as yavanas in ancient Indian literature. The Sanskrit term Yavanika was borrowed from Greek drama which was played not is halls but in open fields and needed curtains ; indian drama did not need curtains originally and has no native term for Yavanika (curtain for drama). -VJ ============ ========= = == ____________ _________ _________ __ Sunil Bhattacharjya <sunil_bhattacharjya @> vedic astrology Tuesday, July 7, 2009 7:08:22 AM Re: [vedic astrology] Re: Rashi in Vedic literature, the Relevant Chronology and the Sidereal Not only there is no mention of the Greek civilisation in the ancient texts. there is also no description of their habitat and the ways of their life. Their very identification as the Yavanas itself is suspect as Bhagadatta, the son of Narakasura, was the King of Kamrupa and he led a group of yavanas to Hastinapur and if one goes by this then the yavanas were the residents of Kamarupa. These Yavanas were not much different from the Danavas as Kamarupa was also the place of the Danavas along with nthe Asuras. Narakasura had Banasura as a contemporary king.also near Kamarupa.

But Shri Hari Malla took off tangentially to give it a calendar angle as if to mean that we are following the Gregorian calendar and that is the only reason for our progress. So to set things right I broughrt to the notice of the members that we had both the calendars in the ancient times and without making any comp[romise both the calendar coexisted. Many people are making noise that the Makar Sankranti shoiuld be celebrated on the UIttarayana day. I want to ask them whether they know of any reference which states if the Makar Sankranti was observed when at the beginning of the Treta Yuga the Uttarayana occurred in the Krittika Nakshatra. Plato, the guru of Aristotle, went out of Greece and he is said to have even visited India and that without him the knowledge of India would not have gone to the West (of course, obviously at that time). This is given in a Paper in the journal " Theosophy " , vol.27, No. 10 (August 1939). There is another paper antitled " Plato in Afghanistan and India " , by W.L.Lorimer in American Journal of Philology, vol. 53, No. 2, (1932). After returning from India Plato established an Instiutute of Higher learning in Athens, the first institute of its kind in the West. The university at Takshashila was established a mellennium before Plato's institute in Greece. Herodotus also wrote about India even befpre Plato. However no such mention of the Greek civilistion is there in the ancient Indian texts. Best wishes, Sunil K.

Essentially, we all are at a beach that faces an OCEAN. For example the Pacific Ocean? Each of us keep tossing a pebble, a stone into the OCEAN and if we time it right when an incoming tide SWELLS in, we have a choice: Did our launch (am talking stones not missiles!) was well planned and well-timed {Consumer} Was the launch responsible for the TIDE? {Creator!} We are back to the original question: Destiny or Free-Will? RR vedic astrology, Sunil Bhattacharjya wrote: > > Dear Rohini, > > In the ancient times we had both the Seasonal (Tropical) and the Sidereeal calendars. The two were existing in side by side without interfering with each other. The Gregorian calendar is originally based on Vedic Seasonal calendar taken to the west much before Jesus Christ was born. Julius ceasar ammended it and then Gregory ammnded it further. Greeks got a lot of knowledge from us. Do you know that Aristotle studies in Takshashila? It is reported that even Plato came to Takshashila. Then in the 4th century BCE Megasthenes learnt from India during his stay in india as the Greek ambassador. Later on Ptolemy sent ambassador to the court of Samudragupta. All these people learnt a lot from India. > > Best wishes, > > Sunil K.

Moreover, your statement about correspondence of raashis with constellations shows that you are neither a scientist nor an astrologer. If you are a scientist, how can you prove that physical stars or planets can have astrological effects ?

This is his assertion and subsequently he reasserted that. Assertions and reassertions are after all assertions. He never cared to understand why the constellations in the ecliptic band was chosen in the first place in preference to the constallationa outside the ecliptic band. Do you think he is right in ignoring the reasons for the preferential choice of the constallation in theecliptic band? Or should we assume that he is ignorant of the same? > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > He admits that he does not believe in astrology. It appears to me that he is trying to mean that if the constellations outside the ecliptic band have no effect on man then the constellations within the ecliptic band also would not have any effect on man and therefore the astrology, which involves these useless constellations is also of no use to man. He says so because he does not know in the first place why the constallations in the ecliptic band were chosen preferentially.

Has any theoretical astrophysicist done any such work on that and reported the findings in scientific literature?

It runs as follows, " Astronomer s have divided the sky into 88 constellations. ..the ancient people named these groups of stars after animals and mythological characters.For example, the contellations Leo was named after lion, Pisces after two fish,and Taurus after a bull " .Do you understand that the scientists recognise each rashi as one constellations. The 27 constellations of which you have mentioned, are not the scientist's categorisaion but of the eastern daily lunar constellations, we call as nakshyatras.

Is my expression in English so weak that you are not able to understand its logic? I hope that you do not believe some stars effect us and others do not.Do you think only 12 groups of stars effect us and the remaining 76 groups categorised by science are incapable to effect us? My understanding is that if 12 groups effects us, then the other 76 groups should also have effected us.What do you think?

In mythology,it represents the ram with the golden fleece that was sought by Jason and the Argonauts... ..Technically, Aries is no longer the first zodiacal sign because the vernal equinox has moved on into the Pisces, due to the effect of the precession of the equinoxes. " > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > You see the western people have their own story or purana about the Aries constellations 'Jason and the Argonauts'.Whereas in the hindu mythology, we have no such story.This also proves that it was not originally ours.In their concept, Aries is also equivalent to vernal equinox.Your fixed Aries concept without relationship with the vernal equinox is not only unacceptable from their concept, but also from the concept of our own puranas like the Bhagvatam about mesh rashi.Our Bhagvatam repeats again again that makar sankranti represents uttrayan.Not only that our dharmas shastra like Dharma sindhu also says so. But you being ignorant about dharma shastra like Dharma sindhu, kala madhav etc talk like a unread and non religious person.. You also do not take the trouble to read them. You know only how to stick to your limited knowledge and say if we have to celebrate uttarayan then we can join Christmas parties. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Well why do you not become a christian to do so rather than recommend such a silly propopsal to fellow hindus. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Saying mesh is free from the spring equinox or that makar sankranti is free from uttarayan, you people have shown the ignorance of the century.I can understand you have not read dharma shastras as mentioned above.But what I cannot understand is why do you not purchase a book and read.They are not costly books. Or go to a library and read them.But do not make the jokes of the century by saying mesh sankranti is not linked to vernal equinox and makar sankranti is not linked to winter solstice.Bhagvatam itself is full of these assertions.I have quoted the description of the Sishumar chakra too. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > OK then good bye for today.Take care. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Hari Malla > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > , Sunil Bhattacharjya wrote: > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Shri Harimalla, > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > 1) > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Go and discuss calendar reform in calendar group and not here. In future please do not talk to me about Calendar reform. You have harassed me enough in the AIA group with your nonsensical ideas such as need for renaming the Rashis and Nakshatras and also that instead of 12 constellations 88 constellations should be considered in astrology and that it is in the interest of Dharma even though you yourself do not believe in Phalita Jyotisha. You don't even know that the ecliptic has 27 constellations and not 12.. I made you admit that nothing like consideration of 88 constellations is mentioned in the ancient texts and that these are your own wild ideas. If you want to create a new form of Jyotish shastra please go and do it yourself and publish a book and get the recognition yourself. But don't try to involve me in your absurd ideas.

I have already given reference to the verses, where the Rashis appear in the Vedas, Vedanga Jyotisha and Purana. So why should we panic? It is people like you, who are against the Jyotish Shasta, are panicking.

Sathaye could not find the Vedanga jyotisha. I told him where to find the Vedanga Jyotisha, published by INSA. Any Vedic scholar will understand that the verses I gave show the presence of Rashi in Veda. Also tell them that all the nine grahas are also in the Veda. Sometimes the terminologies are different. For example, Rahu and Ketu are called Svarabhanu in Veda. The Sun, the Moon and Brihaspati are of course in the same name. I already told AKK that Manu had told that the Kings should consult Astrologers. thereby approving the use of Astrology. If AKK cannot find a copy of the Manu smriti you can tell him that it is in the Internet. If you people want to remain in your own self-imposed darkness I have no objection. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > I repeat.
