Rashi in Vedic literature, the Relevant Chronology and the Sidereal

My staement was " Had planets not traversed through them, nakshatras would have

been meaningless astrologically. "

 

It means : since planets travers through them, nakshatras are not meaningless

astrologically.

 

You cannot take Nakshatras or Grahas out of the whole. Parts do not matter.

Nakshatras are significant only as parts of the astrological Whole, which is the

complete horoscope. Without a complete horoscope, you cannot find out which

Nakshatra to propitiate.

 

It is wrong to say that graha shanti came later. Vedas are not encyclopaedia of

astrology. If this type of historical argument is extended to comparative

linguistics, one can conclude that Indo-Europeans had feet because Indo-European

languages have common terms for feet, but they grew hands after being separated

because terms for hand are not common.

Agreed, but why then perform Nakshatra Shanti? Atharva Veda told us to perform

Nakshatra shanti. Graha shanti came to be performed much later.

Groups beyond the Zodiac are not called nakshatras, it is Mr Hari Malla's novel

discovery. There are only 27 (plus Abhijit for certain special uses) Nakshatras,

although there are about a hundred costellations and even Ptolemy knew half of

them. Ancient Indians also named many stars and groups like Saptarshis beyong

the Zodiac, but never included them among Nakshatras.

 

Zodiac is the sum total of all planetary orbits, with average at the ecliptic,

and Nakshatra is its geometric division, and it is mere coincidence that stars

are found in those nakshatras, nakshatras are not defined by number of stars.

Some nakshatras have only 2 stars and some like Shatbhishaa have 100, but it is

wrong to imagine that Shatbhishaa will occupy 50 times more space than the

nakshatra containing smaller number of stars.

 

Nakshatras significant because they are located in a region traversed by

astrological planets. Had planets not traversed through them, nakshatras would

have been meaningless astrologically. All constituents of astrology must be

evaluated as parts of a dynamic whole, and not in isolation.

Dear Vinay,

 

Sometime back Shri Harimalla was telling that all the nakshatras are equal and

all should have equal effect on us. Why then the Atharva Veda tells us to pray

only to those nakshatras, which are in the ecliptic and not told us to pray to

those beyond the ecliptic band.

 

Best wishes,

Dear Vinay,

 

Please check your book. Even the route is given that Bhagadatta went from

Kamarupa through Bengal and like that. So how can he be a king of the west? He

is known to be a son of Narakasura also.

Sunil Da,

 

MBh is a complex text containing layers added during different periods. It is a

painstaking task to find out the original stratum.

 

Sabha Parva, chapter-14 of Gitapress edition ( chapter-13 of internet version)

says in verse 14 (verse 13 in internet edition) that Bhagadatta was

" Yavanaadhipati " and was " lord of the West (Prateechya) like Varuna "

 

Internet edition is not reliable because it is based on the critical edition

which excluded many genuine verses on the basis of an illogical principle :

exclusion of verses not common to all manuscripts. Yet, this edition is a hany

tool for easy references : you can get advantage of search box for locating al

referwences of terms lke " yavana " or " Bhagadatta " or " Pragjyotishapur " .

Pragjyotishapur lirally means " City of the Eastern Lights " . But Bhagadatta is

eulogised as Lord of the West !! Only a complete scanning of MBh can clear which

verses are genuine and which are interpolations. For instance, the term " yavana "

occurs only once in the critical edition's Adi Parva, although terms like

chyavana occurs many times. Hence, sandhi must be taken into account.

 

Three days ago, I suggested a topic " Astrological concepts in Mahabharata " for

PhD thesis to my friend in Sanskrit department of Vikram University, Ujjain, Dr

Musalgaonkar, a famous Sanskrit scholar, for his student. He has asked me to

provide an outline on whose basis he and his student could prepare the synopsis.

I intend to confine the thesis to theoretical concepts of Jyotisha and leave out

those portions future researchers which do not fit into this theme. for

instance, the statements of Bhishma Pitamaha can be compared with Paitaamaha

Siddhanta of Panchsiddhantikaa of Varaha Mihira, or the computational or

theoretical statements in MBh can be compared with Suryasiddhanta and other

siddhantas.

Bhagadatta brought the Yavanas from his land as far as I remember reading about

it.

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).

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.

I have found references to Yavanas as barbarians in Mahabharata & c. Yavanas

(Ionian Greeks learnt civilisation much later.

Re: [vedic astrology] Re: Rashi in Vedic literature, the

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. Bhattacharjya

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?

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

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. Do you think that his assertions has any merit?

(Satapatha Brahmana 10.2.1). Mesh (Ram) is the symbol of the Mesh Rashi, Vrshabh

(Bull) has become the symbol of the Vrshabh Rashi. We need not think that these

have come from the west.

This is the astronomical fact. In Astrology these 27 Nakshatras are divided into

12 Rashis or Asterisms or Lunar mansions.

Encyclopaedia of Constellations. 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.

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

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.

Is it a 'theory' really, Jha Ji? Or merely a postulate or perhaps just a fancy?

What do they say in English? Old wive's tales or something like that!

 

I think this is how these urban myths of steretypical nature start and flourish

and some of these may very well be superstitions. Someone walked under a ladder

and the can of paint placed on it fell. All in his family henceforth stopped

walking under a ladder and none of them had an accident like that. Gradually,

the entire village followed and it became an established fact until someone

deliberately placed a can of paint securely on the ladder, making sure it was

placed stably and made sure that there was enough room under the ladder and then

he crossed under the ladder not once but several times (increasing the number of

observations or N). The superstition was not lost because the villagers now said

that he was successful in avoiding disaster because he was a brahmachari and

pure of heart!

 

Similar instances can be seen in Jyotish too regarding some of the doshas and

yogas and kalas etc

 

And of course in modern societies such stereotypical myths flourish even in

wiser minds too. Things such as French are the best lovers, Italians are the

most emotional, Spaniards are the most passionate, Chinese are the wisest,

Indians are perfect mathamaticians. Okay maybe the last one is not entirely

untrue :-)

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.

tangentially to give it a calendar angle as if to mean that we are following the

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.

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.

to precesion, the spring equnox has moved by 24 days in the solar sense, and one

full month in the lunar sense.Thus there is calendar reform proposal to move the

rashis too by one month to match with the original seasons, ie to name the

bresent meen rashi as the new epochal mesh rashi.This is necessary to celebrate

the festivals in their resbective seasons.

wobble of the earth which makes it point towards a different pole star over the

long cycle of ayanamsha as the S.V.P. shifts?

exactly, it is say, plus minus eight or nine degrees on the ecliptic.If it

it is plus minus forty five degrees? He says we are also marking as on the

One who is biased against " age-old " things should keep away from astrology,

because it is an age-old thing.

means those are away from ecliptic and are affecting us so what we should think

about the stars which could be 45 degrees away from ecliptic

but those are away from ecliptic(8 to 9 degrees from ecliptic on both side means

+8 to -8) so it means those stars(by which constellations are made) are

affecting us than insimilar fashion stars which are 45 degrees away from

ecliptic will affect in same way

will raise such doubts. Mr SKB has made an age old point. All astrologers use

zodiacal region and none uses the fringes of skies.

if you want to say that some stars are priviledged to effect us whereas other

the basic two-slit experiment in quantum physics (infact the first basic step in

understanding quantum physics) which no scientist has been able to understand

and explain. How can two electrons millions of light years away influence each

other? How do they know about each other? He should read about it and then he

should just shut up, and not comment based on his so-called scientific

knowledge. And he should wait for science to come up with an explanation (which

it never can) and then comment on anything!!

This is the astronomical fact. In Astrology these 27 Nakshatras are divided into

12 Rashis or Asterisms or Lunar mansions.

nakshyatras. The scientist are not used to that.

makar sankranti is free from uttarayan, you people have shown the ignorance of

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.

Many a times the words Yavana and Asura were used synonymously. Mayasura was a

yavana too.

Sunil Da,

 

 

 

You should not subordinate facts to opinions. Bhagadatta was king of Kamrupa but

was lord of Yavanas in the west too : this is said in MBH and is not my opinion.

But MBh says Yavanas lived in south India as well (see the references already

sent by me). I have not found a single reference of yavanas living in Kamrup.

But I know Yavanas of west were NRI who went out or were expelled by earlier

chakravartins of India due to their nefarious samskaara : it is proven by Havi

to gods and Yajnic karmakaanda by ancestors of Greeks as narrated by

Aristophanes in his drama " The Birds " written around the end of 5th century BCE

(Eurocentricists deliberately neglect such direct evidences). Bhagadatta was the

most illustrious among all kings hailing from outside Ayravarta and came from an

asuric land. Hence, it is not strange that yavanas from Afghanistan accepted his

leadership. I prepared a list of peoples and kings siding with Kauravas and with

Pandavas, and found

 

that found that it was not a family feud over five villages but a gigantic

Civil War or a World War dividing all peoples on cultural lines : among those

upholding Dharma and Adharma, to put it in simplistic terms. Shalya was related

to Pandavas but fought against them without any grievance against pandavas. The

reason is explained by Karna, who narrates the non-Aryan culture of Madra-desha.

Thus , MBh is about a War between Dharma and Adharma. Seen in this broad

perspective, it is not surprising why yavanas regarded the most Asuric king as

their leader, perhaps before they came to fight this War. Bhagadatta was a great

Tantric. He used Narayanastra against Arjuna, which Lord Krishna took on

himself. MBh mentions many Astras and Shastras which have now vanished.

Re: [vedic astrology] Re: Rashi in Vedic literature, the

Dear Vinay,

 

 

 

Why did you hold the reasons in the first place? Bhagadatta took the yavanas

along his way and his way was from Kamarupa to Hastinapur. If you know more

reasons please do let us know. Common sense says that the yavanas did not come

to Hastinapur without a leader. So it is difficult for me to understand that the

Yavanas had chosen Bhagadatta as their leader only after they reached

Hastinapur.

 

 

 

Best wishes,

Sunil Da,

 

 

 

You should apply your critical faculties to explain the apparent discrepancy

between king of Assam being lord of west, instead of denying the existence of a

verse in an ancient text. Should I give my reasons ? But you dismiss facts cited

by me, how will you admit opinions coming from me ??

Dear Vinay,

 

 

 

Please check your book. Even the route is given that Bhagadatta went from

Kamarupa through Bengal and like that. So how can he be a king of the west? He

Sunil Da,

 

 

 

MBh is a complex text containing layers added during different periods. It is a

painstaking task to find out the original stratum.

 

 

 

Sabha Parva, chapter-14 of Gitapress edition ( chapter-13 of internet version)

says in verse 14 (verse 13 in internet edition) that Bhagadatta was

" Yavanaadhipati " and was " lord of the West (Prateechya) like Varuna "

 

 

 

Internet edition is not reliable because it is based on the critical edition

which excluded many genuine verses on the basis of an illogical principle :

exclusion of verses not common to all manuscripts. Yet, this edition is a hany

tool for easy references : you can get advantage of search box for locating al

referwences of terms lke " yavana " or " Bhagadatta " or " Pragjyotishapur " .

Pragjyotishapur lirally means " City of the Eastern Lights " . But Bhagadatta is

eulogised as Lord of the West !! Only a complete scanning of MBh can clear which

verses are genuine and which are interpolations. For instance, the term " yavana "

occurs only once in the critical edition's Adi Parva, although terms like

chyavana occurs many times. Hence, sandhi must be taken into account.

 

 

 

Three days ago, I suggested a topic " Astrological concepts in Mahabharata " for

PhD thesis to my friend in Sanskrit department of Vikram University, Ujjain, Dr

Musalgaonkar, a famous Sanskrit scholar, for his student. He has asked me to

provide an outline on whose basis he and his student could prepare the synopsis.

I intend to confine the thesis to theoretical concepts of Jyotisha and leave out

those portions future researchers which do not fit into this theme. for

instance, the statements of Bhishma Pitamaha can be compared with Paitaamaha

Siddhanta of Panchsiddhantikaa of Varaha Mihira, or the computational or

theoretical statements in MBh can be compared with Suryasiddhanta and other

siddhantas.

Bhagadatta brought the Yavanas from his land as far as I remember reading about

it.

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).

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.

I have found references to Yavanas as barbarians in Mahabharata & c. Yavanas

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,

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?

you know that Aristotle studies in Takshashila? It is reported that even Plato

think he is right in ignoring the reasons for the preferential choice of the

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. Do you think that his assertions has any merit?

those are away from ecliptic(8 to 9 degrees from ecliptic on both side means +8

affect in same way

have come from the west.

This is the astronomical fact. In Astrology these 27 Nakshatras are divided into

12 Rashis or Asterisms or Lunar mansions.

Encyclopaedia of Constellations. 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.

groups of stars effect us and the remaining 76 groups categorised by science are

the other 76 groups should also have effected us.What do you think? Does this

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.

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.

Have you heard this one. When God made the heads he found that some heads look

better without hair. So He put temporary hair on these heads too at the birth

(just for the sake of uniformity as otherwise the mothers could get upset)

There is another theory : With growth in wisdom, hairs drop from head

because brains of wiser people consume all nourishment and hairs get little. The

names RR Ji has posted are of only wise persons. I have not carried out any

research on this topic. RR ji may throw some light on it, being a wise man,

unlike me who still has hairs on head.

Wouldn't George Bernard Shaw fulfil, at least partly, both requirements?

Balding, bearded and presumably closer to Greek Origin than oh say the Monk Sri

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.

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.

the West (of course, obviously at that time). This is given in a Paper in the

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.

to precesion, the spring equnox has moved by 24 days in the solar sense, and one

full month in the lunar sense.Thus there is calendar reform proposal to move the

rashis too by one month to match with the original seasons, ie to name the

the festivals in their resbective seasons.

wobble of the earth which makes it point towards a different pole star over the

One who is biased against " age-old " things should keep away from astrology,

because it is an age-old thing.

but those are away from ecliptic(8 to 9 degrees from ecliptic on both side means

+8 to -8) so it means those stars(by which constellations are made) are

affecting us than insimilar fashion stars which are 45 degrees away from

ecliptic will affect in same way

the basic two-slit experiment in quantum physics (infact the first basic step in

understanding quantum physics) which no scientist has been able to understand

and explain. How can two electrons millions of light years away influence each

other? How do they know about each other? He should read about it and then he

should just shut up, and not comment based on his so-called scientific

knowledge. And he should wait for science to come up with an explanation (which

it never can) and then comment on anything!!

This is the astronomical fact. In Astrology these 27 Nakshatras are divided into

12 Rashis or Asterisms or Lunar mansions.

Encyclopaedia of Constellations. It runs as follows, " Astronomer s have divided

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.

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

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.

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.

INSA. Any Vedic scholar will understand that the verses I gave show the presence

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.

Chi Chi Dada! Now you are saying that Surya-siddhanta was of greek origin?

 

Maybe in those very ancient times the world was not as divided as it is today

with silos of cultural, ethnic, racial, national and other types! Maybe back

then nations were principalities with God the ultimate monarch and not the mini

and micro Gods that preside over nations these days! Maybe knowledge and love

flowed more easily and readily across the continents which for all I know may

have been closer, physically, mentally and spiritually!

 

After all, I have heard that DNA analysis indicates that all human beings

(Caucasians, Mongolian, Australio-african, blah blah blah) are more alike than

different! I don't buy the story of Genesis (Adam and Eve) literally but one

wonders ...!

already sent by me). I have not found a single reference of yavanas living in

Kamrup. But I know Yavanas of west were NRI who went out or were expelled by

earlier chakravartins of India due to their nefarious samskaara : it is proven

by Havi to gods and Yajnic karmakaanda by ancestors of Greeks as narrated by

Aristophanes in his drama " The Birds " written around the end of 5th century BCE

(Eurocentricists deliberately neglect such direct evidences). Bhagadatta was the

most illustrious among all kings hailing from outside Ayravarta and came from an

asuric land. Hence, it is not strange that yavanas from Afghanistan accepted his

leadership. I prepared a list of peoples and kings siding with Kauravas and with

Pandavas, and found

Civil War or a World War dividing all peoples on cultural lines : among those

upholding Dharma and Adharma, to put it in simplistic terms. Shalya was related

to Pandavas but fought against them without any grievance against pandavas. The

reason is explained by Karna, who narrates the non-Aryan culture of Madra-desha.

Thus , MBh is about a War between Dharma and Adharma. Seen in this broad

perspective, it is not surprising why yavanas regarded the most Asuric king as

their leader, perhaps before they came to fight this War. Bhagadatta was a great

Tantric. He used Narayanastra against Arjuna, which Lord Krishna took on

himself. MBh mentions many Astras and Shastras which have now vanished.

Yavanas had chosen Bhagadatta as their leader only after they reached

Hastinapur.

which excluded many genuine verses on the basis of an illogical principle :

exclusion of verses not common to all manuscripts. Yet, this edition is a hany

tool for easy references : you can get advantage of search box for locating al

referwences of terms lke " yavana " or " Bhagadatta " or " Pragjyotishapur " .

Pragjyotishapur lirally means " City of the Eastern Lights " . But Bhagadatta is

eulogised as Lord of the West !! Only a complete scanning of MBh can clear which

verses are genuine and which are interpolations. For instance, the term " yavana "

occurs only once in the critical edition's Adi Parva, although terms like

chyavana occurs many times. Hence, sandhi must be taken into account.

I intend to confine the thesis to theoretical concepts of Jyotisha and leave out

instance, the statements of Bhishma Pitamaha can be compared with Paitaamaha

Siddhanta of Panchsiddhantikaa of Varaha Mihira, or the computational or

> 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

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.

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.

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.

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.

One who is biased against " age-old " things should keep away from astrology,

because it is an age-old thing.

degrees away from ecliptic plane(anybody may check from wikipedia or anything)

means those are away from ecliptic and are affecting us so what we should think

about the stars which could be 45 degrees away from ecliptic

but those are away from ecliptic(8 to 9 degrees from ecliptic on both side means

+8 to -8) so it means those stars(by which constellations are made) are

affecting us than insimilar fashion stars which are 45 degrees away from

ecliptic will affect in same way

will raise such doubts. Mr SKB has made an age old point. All astrologers use

zodiacal region and none uses the fringes of skies.

useful for astronomical dating of past events.

if you want to say that some stars are priviledged to effect us whereas other

Otherwise we are just engaging in useless discussions.

the basic two-slit experiment in quantum physics (infact the first basic step in

understanding quantum physics) which no scientist has been able to understand

and explain. How can two electrons millions of light years away influence each

other? How do they know about each other? He should read about it and then he

should just shut up, and not comment based on his so-called scientific

knowledge. And he should wait for science to come up with an explanation (which

it never can) and then comment on anything!!

(Satapatha Brahmana 10.2.1). Mesh (Ram) is the symbol of the Mesh Rashi, Vrshabh

(Bull) has become the symbol of the Vrshabh Rashi. We need not think that these

have come from the west.

This is the astronomical fact. In Astrology these 27 Nakshatras are divided into

12 Rashis or Asterisms or Lunar mansions.

Encyclopaedia of Constellations. 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.

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

incapable to understand the meaning of this sentence. Is my expression in

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

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.

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.

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. What an anti-astrology man like

you is doing here?

Sometimes the terminologies are different. For example, Rahu and Ketu are called

want to remain in your own self-imposed darkness I have no objection.

What God started innocently, some entrepreneurs have run with the idea and are

making a killing selling wigs!

 

Wasn't occultism started innocently by God, as well? Or was it MA??

There is another theory : With growth in wisdom, hairs drop from head

because brains of wiser people consume all nourishment and hairs get little. The

names RR Ji has posted are of only wise persons. I have not carried out any

research on this topic. RR ji may throw some light on it, being a wise man,

unlike me who still has hairs on head.

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.

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.

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.

to precesion, the spring equnox has moved by 24 days in the solar sense, and one

full month in the lunar sense.Thus there is calendar reform proposal to move the

it is plus minus forty five degrees? He says we are also marking as on the

outdated) for you ?

One who is biased against " age-old " things should keep away from astrology,

because it is an age-old thing.

that. Assertions and reassertions are after all assertions. He never cared to

think he is right in ignoring the reasons for the preferential choice of the

the same?

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. Do you think that his assertions has any merit?

means those are away from ecliptic and are affecting us so what we should think

about the stars which could be 45 degrees away from ecliptic

but those are away from ecliptic(8 to 9 degrees from ecliptic on both side means

+8 to -8) so it means those stars(by which constellations are made) are

affecting us than insimilar fashion stars which are 45 degrees away from

ecliptic will affect in same way

will raise such doubts. Mr SKB has made an age old point. All astrologers use

zodiacal region and none uses the fringes of skies.

that plane of the solar system will have the same effect on the Earth as the

constellations on the plane of the solar system ie. the ecliptic. Has any

theoretical astrophysicist done any such work on that and reported the findings

in scientific literature? Secondly the costellations on the ecliptic alone are

useful for astronomical dating of past events.

if you want to say that some stars are priviledged to effect us whereas other

since you are showing off so much as a scientific mind. I have not made any

assertions, only you have. I am too small to make assertions. I only raised some

questions. Once your scientific knowledge finds answers raised by questions, I

assure you that I will start learning from you.

Otherwise we are just engaging in useless discussions.

the basic two-slit experiment in quantum physics (infact the first basic step in

understanding quantum physics) which no scientist has been able to understand

and explain. How can two electrons millions of light years away influence each

other? How do they know about each other? He should read about it and then he

should just shut up, and not comment based on his so-called scientific

knowledge. And he should wait for science to come up with an explanation (which

it never can) and then comment on anything!!

This is the astronomical fact. In Astrology these 27 Nakshatras are divided into

12 Rashis or Asterisms or Lunar mansions.

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.

also do not take the trouble to read them. You know only how to stick to your

makar sankranti is free from uttarayan, you people have shown the ignorance of

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.

Actually, I have heard that Asura is a term used for Swahili and Hausa girls who

were born in Muslim month of Ashura.

 

Also there is the persian connection (Ahura)

http://www.marvunapp.com/Appendix/asurah.htm

 

And I am positive that I have seen Greek names or Surnames that sounded very

similar to Asura!

already sent by me). I have not found a single reference of yavanas living in

Kamrup. But I know Yavanas of west were NRI who went out or were expelled by

earlier chakravartins of India due to their nefarious samskaara : it is proven

by Havi to gods and Yajnic karmakaanda by ancestors of Greeks as narrated by

Aristophanes in his drama " The Birds " written around the end of 5th century BCE

(Eurocentricists deliberately neglect such direct evidences). Bhagadatta was the

most illustrious among all kings hailing from outside Ayravarta and came from an

asuric land. Hence, it is not strange that yavanas from Afghanistan accepted his

leadership. I prepared a list of peoples and kings siding with Kauravas and with

Pandavas, and found

Civil War or a World War dividing all peoples on cultural lines : among those

upholding Dharma and Adharma, to put it in simplistic terms. Shalya was related

to Pandavas but fought against them without any grievance against pandavas. The

reason is explained by Karna, who narrates the non-Aryan culture of Madra-desha.

Thus , MBh is about a War between Dharma and Adharma. Seen in this broad

perspective, it is not surprising why yavanas regarded the most Asuric king as

their leader, perhaps before they came to fight this War. Bhagadatta was a great

Tantric. He used Narayanastra against Arjuna, which Lord Krishna took on

himself. MBh mentions many Astras and Shastras which have now vanished.

Yavanas had chosen Bhagadatta as their leader only after they reached

Hastinapur.

which excluded many genuine verses on the basis of an illogical principle :

exclusion of verses not common to all manuscripts. Yet, this edition is a hany

tool for easy references : you can get advantage of search box for locating al

referwences of terms lke " yavana " or " Bhagadatta " or " Pragjyotishapur " .

Pragjyotishapur lirally means " City of the Eastern Lights " . But Bhagadatta is

eulogised as Lord of the West !! Only a complete scanning of MBh can clear which

verses are genuine and which are interpolations. For instance, the term " yavana "

occurs only once in the critical edition's Adi Parva, although terms like

chyavana occurs many times. Hence, sandhi must be taken into account.

I intend to confine the thesis to theoretical concepts of Jyotisha and leave out

those portions future researchers which do not fit into this theme. for

instance, the statements of Bhishma Pitamaha can be compared with Paitaamaha

Siddhanta of Panchsiddhantikaa of Varaha Mihira, or the computational or

theoretical statements in MBh can be compared with Suryasiddhanta and other

siddhantas.

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

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.

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.

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.

to precesion, the spring equnox has moved by 24 days in the solar sense, and one

notion of " ecliptic " and what it is is at all influenced by the slow polar

wobble of the earth which makes it point towards a different pole star over the

long cycle of ayanamsha as the S.V.P. shifts?

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?

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. Do you think that his assertions has any merit?

means those are away from ecliptic and are affecting us so what we should think

about the stars which could be 45 degrees away from ecliptic

but those are away from ecliptic(8 to 9 degrees from ecliptic on both side means

+8 to -8) so it means those stars(by which constellations are made) are

affecting us than insimilar fashion stars which are 45 degrees away from

ecliptic will affect in same way

will raise such doubts. Mr SKB has made an age old point. All astrologers use

zodiacal region and none uses the fringes of skies.

that plane of the solar system will have the same effect on the Earth as the

theoretical astrophysicist done any such work on that and reported the findings

in scientific literature? Secondly the costellations on the ecliptic alone are

useful for astronomical dating of past events.

the basic two-slit experiment in quantum physics (infact the first basic step in

understanding quantum physics) which no scientist has been able to understand

and explain. How can two electrons millions of light years away influence each

other? How do they know about each other? He should read about it and then he

should just shut up, and not comment based on his so-called scientific

knowledge. And he should wait for science to come up with an explanation (which

it never can) and then comment on anything!!

have come from the west.

This is the astronomical fact. In Astrology these 27 Nakshatras are divided into

12 Rashis or Asterisms or Lunar mansions.

Encyclopaedia of Constellations. It runs as follows, " Astronomer s have divided

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.

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

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.

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.

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. What an anti-astrology man like

you is doing here?

Sometimes the terminologies are different. For example, Rahu and Ketu are called

want to remain in your own self-imposed darkness I have no objection.

In a melee/ hand to hand combat, hair would also provide a hold for the

enemy to catch. The easier it is to then lop off ones head.

 

At least this is the ostensible reason for why they do not allow beards

in today's Indian Army ( it is allowed in the Navy AFAIK).
