Guest guest Posted October 17, 2001 Report Share Posted October 17, 2001 Om Gurave Namah--------------------------Dear Narasimha, I won't pamper you but will goad you.. Even after I select the option of NOT DISPLAYING the outer planets, the next time i start the program they again show up like the devil who refuses to leave..I hate this for very personal reasons as I have seen Dr Raman battle this out many years back in his AM issues. Once we select options like this, they must stay put the next time we start. There is a lot of wasted space below the Rasi chart in the normal view. Can we have an option that will allow us to change the space settings? Can we change color (and fonts)? Do you have the option of glyphs like many use them especially those coming from the western astrology stream. Say I want to know when the Moon (or any planet will touch a saham or any point. How do I get that in the transit mode? Can I choose the specific arudha that will show? There are no tabs for information and readings. Say simple information like what the AK is etc. you can easily take all this from your book and add it to the program. I can give you my books if you need them for this purpose. Use all the lessons we have at SJVC for the CD. Add some devotional music like the hanuman Chalisa, Mantras recorded from Vedic remedies etc. Can we have the option of making the layout of what we want printed in a page including the name and telephone number of the Astrologer? Professionals will need this. My God, there is so much to do.. Best WishesSanjay Rath - Narasimha P.V.R. Rao Alex J Cc: jhora Wednesday, October 17, 2001 7:36 AM Re: great program!

Guest guest Posted October 17, 2001 Report Share Posted October 17, 2001 Pranaam Sanjay, > Dear Narasimha, > I won't pamper you but will goad you.. I had enough pampering. Yes, it's now time for goading! :-) > Even after I select the option of NOT DISPLAYING the > outer planets, the next time i start the program > they again show up like the devil who refuses to > leave..I hate this for very personal reasons as I > have seen Dr Raman battle this out many years back > in his AM issues.

Your problem will be taken care of before release. Finally, you will never again have to see those Uranus et al! :-) > There is a lot of wasted space below the Rasi chart > in the normal view. Can we have an option that will > allow us to change the space settings? This is only for people with old 800x600 displays. On monitors with larger displays, you will see navamsa chart under rasi chart. If you can set your monitor to 1024x768 or higher, you'll know what I mean. I know there are people in India who use 800x600, but it's quite uncommon here. I have optimized the UI design for higher resolutions. > Can we change color (and fonts)? The chart, planet and arudha colors were based on your advice. I changed them from JHLite colors based on what you said. I know that you hate the colors I have in list views and want simple white, gray and black. I also remember that I promised that these colors can be adjusted. It's on my list, but this is the last priority. The problem is this requires widespread changes in the code, albeit minor. There are too many important things I still have to do and so I put this at a low priority. But oneday I will do this. Just the other day, I researched on the options for color picking interface. I haven't forgotten it, though we talked about this one year back! But I am not planning to let user change fonts. You once told me to concentrate on calculations and ease of use and not waste time on looks and graphics.. > Do you have the option of glyphs like many use them > especially those coming from the western astrology > stream. I will try to find a font that has them. If there's a free font (I am sure there will be), it isn't a problem. I am going to add planet names in multiple languages anyway (Tamil, Bengali etc). Glyphs are basically another language. > Say I want to know when the Moon (or any planet will > touch a saham or any point. How do I get that in the > transit mode? You have to do it manually today. The same code I have for finding when a planet changes rasi/nakshatra/navamsa can be used to find when a planet touched or will touch, in transit, a natal point (saham or longitude of a planet or a mathematical point). The actual calculations are easy (almost already there), but the user interface has to be designed carefully so that it is easy to use. Actually, 90% of the work I put into JH was into UI design and only 10% was the actual calculations. I will do it oneday. I am not sure if I can do it for release 1.0. Along the same line, it'll be interesting to add the ability to see the nakshatra and longitude corresponding to Tribhagi Vimsottari dasa on a given day and to see when it touches a saham or a natal point. But I can't do it for now. Do it manually for now. > Can I choose the specific arudha that will show? This was in JHLite. But I discontinued it. I basically simplified things and avoided complexity that serves no purpose. I thought - why not show all arudhas always? You must've had trouble because of it when preparing charts for your book... I will see. > There are no tabs for information and readings. Say > simple information like what the AK is etc. you can > easily take all this from your book and add it to > the program. The online help is supposed to contain all this. If you recall, JHLite help had a small writeup on divisional charts, arudhas and Tajaka. JH help will have a lot more material. I am planning to extract stuff from my book. Luckily, I kept the copyrights of my book with me on your advice! > I can give you my books if you need them for this > purpose.

It is clear that Deeptaaadi avasthas are computed based on compound relationships. Are Jaagritaadi avasthas also computed based on compound relationships or permanent relationships? Can we find Jaagritaadi and Deeptaadi avasthas in vargas? If we do, do we find the compound relationships (deeptaadi avasthas need them) based on that varga or based on rasi? For all these, I added user preference options. I still have to add Vimsopaka bala and Harsha bala (Tajaka). Still a few dasas are left - navamsa, varnada and Rasi-Bhukta Vimsottari. I will call you tonight (your morning) for clarifications on Navamsa and Varnada dasas. Does anyone know the computation of yogi and avayogi? I don't know it, but I better give them. Many people love them. I still have to add Pachaka etc, Badhakas etc too. > Best Wishes > Sanjay Rath I only have a limited amount of time to spend on JH.

Guest guest Posted October 18, 2001 Report Share Posted October 18, 2001 Dear brother, Devotional Songs etc. may be added to the CD. It may not be deffiult. Only problem is whih format to use (.rm or .mp3 or any other format). Other thing is how to get the songs? (whether some of us should make them on our own or to download from web). If some of the competent people can record some mantras and stotras we can easily put them into the CD. Your program need not bother about them. I think you told your program is going to take only 40 Mb. So, we can put quite a few other files into it. I wonder how are you going to release the software. Are you going to give one Setup.exe file or going to give the actual file as such. Incase you plan to give setup.exe, do you have developer liscence for InstallShield program (and PackageForWeb if you are planning to use it). I guess you are using fonts from TeluguLipi and CDAC. They have not given the fonts for free even though they allow people to download the fonts for free (i.e. Software vendors an not bundle their fonts with thier software). So, please enquire about it. Incase, you need to pay any of them, make a list of them and amounts. We can also talk to RealPlayer if we can give their trail software along with our CD. (In case we use .rm format for songs and mantras). If your transit functions an be changed easily, I can help you to write the GUI. As I wrote you earlier I will be glad to take up .HLP file creation. I have experiane at it. Best regards, Vijay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Space is not the problem. Time is. Things done in a hurry are never perfect. This is a new project in its own right. I can recognize several errors in Sanjay's mantra book and I am sure there are some that I cannot recognize. I am in no hurry to pass along audio files based on imperfect knowledge. Only after thorough research into the correct mantra and correct intonation can I give mantras in audio form in JH. > Your program need not bother about them.

So, please enquire about it. I abandoned TeluguLipi fonts and switched to CDAC fonts for all Indian languages. I have already talked to CDAC. They said they would be glad to let me use all their Indian language fonts in my Jyotish software.

You and Sanjay P are the best persons for .hlp creation. Let me see. BTW, I got your mail in which you suggested using .hlp instead of .chm help as suggested by Sarajit. I agree. Though .chm is slightly more convenient, not all computers can display it. Some old PCs will need additional windows patches and browser versions to be installed. A lot of Jyotishis still use old computers. Unlike techies, these people buy a PC and keep it for 10-15 years. Using .hlp is a universal solution.

Guest guest Posted October 18, 2001 Report Share Posted October 18, 2001 Dear Narasimha, Pranaams. I have tried to print a couple of charts with JH but none of them printed the name of the owner of the chart. I guess that thisa should be a bug. Obviously the program is noc configured to use the file name to indentify the chart owner, neither it asks for any name to print on the printout. Also I liked the oprion in JHL 3 to give a nape which is put into the middle of the chart when creating as BMP picture. Here it is not given. And maybe it would also be helpful to be able to have Mandi and Gulika always displayed both on the screen and in print together with the Grahas and Arudhas. As for transits, if you could give options for findint the time of the planet becoming statsionary and changing direction, it would be very nice. Another request: could you display the latitude of planets together with their longitude? As per Gurudeva this could be a deciding factor in cases of Graha Yuddha. Maybe Astangata and Graha yuddha could be added to the yoga section?

Guest guest Posted October 19, 2001 Report Share Posted October 19, 2001 Dear Gauranga! We use declination for Graha yuddha... I am not sure about Laitude. However, most astrologer tend to use longitude itself for the winner of graha yuddha... Narasimha, One thing you could add is the speed of the planets in the horoscope (such as normal, fast, very fast, slow and very slow--- I think Dr. BV Raman has mentioned the sanskrit names for those speeds in his Introduction to Vedic-Astrology)... That also indicate the kind of result they are going to give as they show some kind of avastha.

Guest guest Posted October 19, 2001 Report Share Posted October 19, 2001 Om Gurave Namah--------------------------Dear Narasimha, Tough to get me on the regular lines as I am on the move a lot. Sukra I guess. Use my cell phone 91-9810337317. You can catch me anywhere with this miracle from the US called mobile.. Navamsa is easy. It always starts from the same or Sammukha rasi which ever is odd. This 'whichever is odd sign' concept is also used in Manduka dasa results if you recall that. death related stuff are male matters I guess. Do give the option of a simple black on white screen. This is the best. Everybody uses 800X600 out here. Smart decision about those avastha's. Add all options for Vimsopaka bala. This is important. For Prasna etc we don't use shodasvarga vimsopaka. Yogi and avayogi is based on the threefold division of planets in the Vimsottari dasa line. Just write them in a straight line and then will fall into three groups. Gr-1 Gr-2 Gr-3 Sun Moon Mars Rahu Jup Sat Mer Ketu Ven Thus, Sun, Merc and Rahu are Yogi's of Gr-1 and similarly the other are Yogi's of the other groups. They work for each other as is claimed by some, but I find this too far fetched. Can't imagine how Rahu is going to help the sun achieve its goal... you want to add this go ahead, but leave it for now when so many other vital things are there. Please add the following (1) Dwadasamsa-Dwadasamsa i.e. D-144 chart. (2) Nadi amsa - Method -1: Equal division based on 150 parts of a Rasi (3) Nadi amsa based on Chandra Kala i.e. the 16 divisions of Parasara. I will explain this. Take the Rasi and Hora charts first and we get two divisions from 0-15 and 15-30; Now, on this superimpose the Drekkana (3 divisions from 0-10, 10-20 and 20-30) and we get the following divisions 0-10, 10-15 15-20 and 20-30 i.e. 4 divisions. Now superimpose the Chaturthamsa on this (0-7.5, 7.5-15, 15-22.5 and 22.5 to 30) and we get the following divisions 0-7.5, 7.5-10, 10-15, 15-20, 20-22.5 and 22.5 to 30 i.e. 6 divisions. In this manner if you continue till the sixteenth division, you will get 150 divisions of UNEQUAL length of arc. These are the 150 Chandra Kala Nadi. (4) Mrityu Bhaga points listing for transit as well as natal planet conjunction. Use all three types or atleast one for this release. (5) Rakshasa, Manushya and Deva division be based on occupancy of the Sthira, chara or Dwisbhava Navamsa.

If you can set your monitor to1024x768 or higher, you'll know what I mean. I know there are people in India who use 800x600, butit's quite uncommon here. I have optimized the UIdesign for higher resolutions. > Can we change color (and fonts)? The chart, planet and arudha colors were based on youradvice. I changed them from JHLite colors based onwhat you said. I know that you hate the colors I have in list viewsand want simple white, gray and black. I also rememberthat I promised that these colors can be adjusted.It's on my list, but this is the last priority. Theproblem is this requires widespread changes in thecode, albeit minor. There are too many importantthings I still have to do and so I put this at a lowpriority. But oneday I will do this. Just the other day, Iresearched on the options for color picking interface.I haven't forgotten it, though we talked about thisone year back! But I am not planning to let user change fonts. You once told me to concentrate on calculations andease of use and not waste time on looks and graphics.. > Do you have the option of glyphs like many use them> especially those coming from the western astrology> stream. I will try to find a font that has them. If there's afree font (I am sure there will be), it isn't aproblem. I am going to add planet names in multiplelanguages anyway (Tamil, Bengali etc). Glyphs arebasically another language. > Say I want to know when the Moon (or any planet will> touch a saham or any point. How do I get that in the> transit mode? You have to do it manually today. The same code I havefor finding when a planet changesrasi/nakshatra/navamsa can be used to find when aplanet touched or will touch, in transit, a natalpoint (saham or longitude of a planet or amathematical point). The actual calculations are easy(almost already there), but the user interface has tobe designed carefully so that it is easy to use.Actually, 90% of the work I put into JH was into UIdesign and only 10% was the actual calculations. I will do it oneday. I am not sure if I can do it forrelease 1.0. Along the same line, it'll be interesting to add theability to see the nakshatra and longitudecorresponding to Tribhagi Vimsottari dasa on a givenday and to see when it touches a saham or a natalpoint. But I can't do it for now. Do it manually fornow. > Can I choose the specific arudha that will show? This was in JHLite. But I discontinued it. I basicallysimplified things and avoided complexity that servesno purpose. I thought - why not show all arudhasalways? You must've had trouble because of it when preparingcharts for your book... I will see. > There are no tabs for information and readings. Say> simple information like what the AK is etc. you can> easily take all this from your book and add it to> the program. The online help is supposed to contain all this. Ifyou recall, JHLite help had a small writeup ondivisional charts, arudhas and Tajaka. JH help willhave a lot more material.

It isclear that Deeptaaadi avasthas are computed based oncompound relationships. Are Jaagritaadi avasthas alsocomputed based on compound relationships or permanentrelationships? Can we find Jaagritaadi and Deeptaadiavasthas in vargas? If we do, do we find the compoundrelationships (deeptaadi avasthas need them) based onthat varga or based on rasi? For all these, I addeduser preference options. I still have to add Vimsopaka bala and Harsha bala(Tajaka). Still a few dasas are left - navamsa,varnada and Rasi-Bhukta Vimsottari. I will call youtonight (your morning) for clarifications on Navamsaand Varnada dasas. Does anyone know the computation of yogi and avayogi?I don't know it, but I better give them. Many peoplelove them. I still have to add Pachaka etc, Badhakasetc too. > Best Wishes> Sanjay Rath I only have a limited amount of time to spend on JH. Iwill do what will add the most value to it.

Use my cell phone 91-9810337317. You can catch me Why did you say " Sukra " ? Is that because you are running Sukra antardasa in Budha mahadasa??? As I promised you, I made every color used in JHora customizable by the user and gave a very convenient interface for changing all colors. The changes will be saved and reused automatically. I also made it save the settings about which bodies to show. If you disable Uranus etc once, you should never see them again. I am right now adding a feature to cast a transit chart when a particular planet is in conjunction or opposition with a natal point like natal planet or natal saham. I will add D-144, D-150 and Vimsopaka bala after talking to you. I have already added the annual/monthly full Moon charts. I added a few sentences of quick help to all dasas. I added the option of taking or not taking dasa sesham when compressing dasas to fixed-length mundane charts. Your sishya, Narasimha PS: Kartika Pournami is almost ruled out now. Let us shoot for Margasira Pournami (maasaanaam maargaseershoham). Unfortunately, I have no clue if SJVC - a non-profit org - is allowed to sell software or not.

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2001 Report Share Posted October 22, 2001 Om Gurave Namah--------------------------Dear Narasimha, The Rudramsa being calculated is not correct. i am attaching a chart that should have given the Lagna in the third Rudramsa of Taurus i.e. Taurus itself. Instead this is showing the Rudramsa as Aquarius lagna. Please have this corrected. Rudramsa for taurus should be counted from Pisces and in the zodiacal order. You have also not confirmed whether it will be possible to add the Chandra Kala Nadi amsa.Best WishesSanjay Rath Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please have this corrected. Rudramsa for > taurus should be counted from Pisces and in the > zodiacal order. If you go to " Preferences " menu and select " Divisional chart calculation " , you will get a dialog box. In it, you have two entries " Regular Rudramsa of Pt. Sanjay Rath " and " Irregular Rudramsa of Dr. Raman " . Unfortunately, they were reversed in coding, i.e. you get irregular D-11 if you select regular D-11 and vice versa! Just change the option and you'll see the 3rd Rudramsa of Ta in Ta itself. This has already been corrected. But I haven't sent you an update in a while and what you have is old. Afetr finishing the " find conjunction " transit mode, I should perhaps send you an update. Regarding navamsas, I blindly used Santhanam's translation. I didn't even check the original Sanskrit verse. I'll do so. > You have also not confirmed whether it will be > possible to add the Chandra Kala Nadi amsa. Once I clearly understand it, it should be easy to do. Adding new divisional charts is an easy thing. > Best Wishes > Sanjay Rath You didn't clarify why you said " perhaps Sukra " regarding your being busy. Is it because Venus antardasa in Mercury dasa is running as per Vimsottari or something else? Your sishya, Narasimha Make a great connection at Personals. http://personals.

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2001 Report Share Posted October 22, 2001 Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaaya Dear Narasimha, Comments are given below your points. Best Wishes Sanjay Rath http://sanjayrath.tripod.com/ sentto-4105581-37-1003711627-srath=vsnl.com (AT) returns (DOT) [sentto-4105581-37-1003711627-srath=vsnl.com (AT) returns (DOT) ] > Tough to get me on the regular lines as I am on the move a lot. > Sukra I guess. Use my cell phone 91-9810337317. You can catch me Why did you say " Sukra " ? Is that because you are running Sukra antardasa in Budha mahadasa??? Rath: No, Sukra dasa in Lagna Vimsottari. This can be very painful for the prana that gets very active during its period. The body runs around all over the place for all sorts of things and has to be put down by mantra. As I promised you, I made every color used in JHora customizable by the user and gave a very convenient interface for changing all colors. The changes will be saved and reused automatically. I also made it save the settings about which bodies to show. If you disable Uranus etc once, you should never see them again. Rath: Knew you would manage to get this together. I am right now adding a feature to cast a transit chart when a particular planet is in conjunction or opposition with a natal point like natal planet or natal saham. I will add D-144, D-150 and Vimsopaka bala after talking to you. I have already added the annual/monthly full Moon charts. I added a few sentences of quick help to all dasas. I added the option of taking or not taking dasa sesham when compressing dasas to fixed-length mundane charts. Rath: GREAT SHOW. Leave D-144 for now and give the D-150 later (You can understand what I mean) Your sishya, Narasimha PS: Kartika Pournami is almost ruled out now. Let us shoot for Margasira Pournami (maasaanaam maargaseershoham). Unfortunately, I have no clue if SJVC - a non-profit org - is allowed to sell software or not. I wait to talk to Dina-natha (you said he's coming to US and will talk to me). Until atlas license is obtained, I will not get the database from them to integrate. Rath: Dead lines are actually DEAD lines. Forget it and just keep working fast..it will happen and if have any problem with SJVC USA as Dinanath seems to have dosed off, see if this can be sold through another organisation and a portion of the profits can be donated to SJVC for organising seminars etc. If nothing else, then perhaps Robert, Brendan & Yourself, the three Trimurti in USA can do something about making an organisation for this. Problem is SJVC cannot do anything for a profit. I believe the rules are very strict out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
