Guest guest Posted May 29, 2004 Report Share Posted May 29, 2004 Friends, This is in continuation with the discussion that Puneet Jee, Gopal Jee and LalKitabee Jee have started. Here is my two cents ..... In fact, apart from severe lack of time, one of the main reasons I've limited my participation in this forum is that it has been reduced to merely folks coming in with their particulars of birth, get some remedial measures and "fly away." My intent is not at all to criticize anyone but wholesale prescription of measures without verification (and I have been making noise about that right from the start) is not conducive to anyone learning LalKitab. Mr. Lalkitabee's approach in analyzing a horoscope has brought in a welcome change. But look at that - he is being accused of "experimenting" etc. Pt SomDutt Jee never touches a horoscope without verifying it first (and for that matter, Pt Roop Chand Jee did exactly the same.) According to them, absolutely NO remedial measures should EVER be prescribed without verification of the horoscope and to do so has the potential of more harm than good. My professor of English, Prof Onkar Nath Jee who introduced me to LalKitab, operated the same way. You never know, the ascendant could be placed wrong; the birth time may have been reported wrong or, the astrologer may have made a mistake while inputting the data into the computer - I have done this many times (and "to err is human" I will keep doing so, unintetionally.) LalKitab farmaans are detailed enough to provide tons of verifiable information - look at Mr Lalkitabee's analysis and though I haven't charted the horoscope being analyzed, I already know where most of the planets are. He is following the book by the line. That is why I recommend that one should read only the original Lal Kitab. I have criticized perhaps too harshly, the "helpbooks" on LalKitab. Those may be read but most of those are not even worth the paper they are printed on. I tried providing analysis during the earlier days of the forum but got sidetracked and then inundated with tons of personal requests and finally I decided to sit on the fence and watch. Again, the puspose of this note is not to criticize those who are helping others through their knowledge - they are at least doing something better than someone like me who is just sitting on the fence. But I think the main purpose for which I joined this forum was to discuss case studies and enhance my learning of LalKitab and that, really hasn't happened. Maybe things will improve. Respectfully, Rajinder Bhatia Friends. Fun. Try the all-new Messenger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
