Guest guest Posted September 2, 2007 Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 Hi, My name is Ellis and I live in the US. I am a new member to your group, but I have had JH 7.02 on my computer for about one and a half years. I have noticed that a good percentage of the Special Nakshatras are offset from the correct position, by being placed one Nakshatra before the correct Nakshatra, except in one case where it is quite distant from its correct position. Are any of your group familiar with this bug? And if so, are there any plans for correcting it? I have set up an Excel Spreadsheet to display the correct Special Nakshatra positions. If anyone is interested I will post it as an attachment. I am assuming the the rules for determination of the Special Nakshatras on page 309 of Vedic Astrology: An Integrated Approach by P.V.R. Narasimha Rao are correct. I am completely going through the program at this time to identify any other bugs, since I like Mr. Rao's program very much and see many advantages in the content covered over other US produced programs, although I think much of its content will ultimately be available in Shri Jyoti Star by Andrew Foss, who does an exceptional job of clearing bugs as they are identified.

Guest guest Posted September 2, 2007 Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 Hi, By any chance, are you using 27 nakshatra scheme? When finding special nakshatras, 28 nakshatra scheme should be used. To my knowledge, there are no known bugs in the computation of special nakshatras. If you give an example, I can take a look to see if there is a bug.

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 Dear Narasimha, I have rechecked using the 28 Nakshatra format as you recommended. Everything falls into place except for the placement of Abhisheka (13th Coronation/Power/Authority). I have attached two printscreens so that you can see my method of designating the Special Nakshatras. From my grid the Nakshatra, Rohini, should fall in the 13th position representing Abhisheka. From the printscreen of Jagannatha Hora it falls in Mool (Moola). There maybe a rule that I am unaware of, but from what I can see this is still a bug within the program. Please let me know if I am missing some information or if this is a bug. Also, for some reason I can no longer generate the listing under 'Find' in the Help Topics. I have tried uninstalling/reinstalling several times and even used different zip folders from different downloads. I have even tried fully deleting the folder and still it doesn't work. Any ideas on how to solve this. The only thing I haven't done is allowed the uninstall to delete all files, which might be used by other programs. But, I would assume that if I delete the entire folder that this would be doing the same thing. Thanks for any further information in regards to Abhisheka and the Find issue. Incidentally, I think your program is fantastic! Best Wishes, Ellis Gordon - Narasimha P.V.R.

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 Dear Narashima, I performed the same test on another chart, which should have generated Abhijit for Abhisheka, but instead it lists Asre (Aasresha), which again falls at the bottom of the list in the Spreadsheet printscreen. Hopefully this helps. Best Wishes, Ellis Gordon - Narasimha P.V.R.

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 Dear Ellis, Hora Ratna defines the 28th star from Moon's star as the abhisheka nakshatra. I believe Sanjay ji also uses the same now. He taught special nakshatras and sarvatobhadra chakra once and he used the 28th star. I too use the same, as I found it more reliable. I am not sure of the source of the 13th nakshatra definition. But Hora Ratna gives 28th and JHora follows that.

Guest guest Posted September 24, 2007 Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 Dear Narasimha, I have checked all of the Divisional Amsas. The only two Divisional Chart Amsa rulers listings that I can find that are inconsistent with the attached article and chart are D-27 and D-20 (D-20 covered in two previous emails). I will only discuss D-27 as I gave comments on D-20 in previous postings. The below listing of D-27 Amsa Lords comes from the attached pdf from the Jagannath Centre. It is titled Non-Planetary Lords of the Divisional Charts by Gauranga Das, Sri Jagannath Centre. BPHS from Bookshelf (by Michiel Boender) in regards to D-27 states: Count forward for odd rasis and reverse order for even rasis. Jagannatha Hora 7.02 always counts forward and in many cases lands on a amsa lord that is one later than would be expected from using the listing from this article or the listing in BPHS. I have posted a chart, which will allow you to quickly ascertain this in conjunction with the below listing. In Sanjay Rath's chart the Lagna is in the 13th Division/13 Index. In the below listing Aditya should be the amsa lord if one counts forward, which Jagannatha Hora 7.02 seems to be doing in all cases. The program states that Viswakarma (Thvasta) is the amsa lord, which is one amsa lord later. If one were following BPHS letter for letter (counting backwards for even signs) than Vayu would be the amsa lord. In most cases Jhora 7 counts forward and typically lands on the amsa one later than expected, but in some cases, like Rahu, lands on the one expected. Rahu is in the 24th division and Jhora lists Varuna as does the below listing. Either there is a bug in the program in regards to D-27 or there is another system for generating the amsa lords for D-27. Any response to this inquiry would be much appreciated. With my current information, I will not be using either D-20 (covered in earlier postings) or D-27 for determining amsa lords. I have verified the correct amsa lords in PL, which holds to the rules set down in BPHS. I am open to the possibility that there could be modifications within the Jaimini system, but I am unaware of them at this time. If you would like me to present evidence for the D-20, I would be glad to oblige. It must be noted that I have completely gone through your program and randomly checked in each section of the program for bugs. At this time these two are the only ones that I have found. In some cases, where the calculations would be laborious I have not checked. But as I go through your book, which covers all the calculations, I will be!! If your program were totally bug free, I would have to say that overall it is the best that I have seen. I own PL, SJS, Kala, GJ & Jyotish Studio, so this is quite a compliment!! The other programs do have features that yours does not and vice versa. I feel that yours is better because of its content, focus and design.
