Guest guest Report post Posted January 4, 2010 Dear Parag Ji, My personal opinion on "spiritual progress": Life automatically brings each of us the experiences and the people we need to make the necessary "spiritual progress". So there is NO chart that "lacks" spiritual progress since that is what Life is all about. We react to the circumstances in our lives with the best of our abilities conditioned by Karma. So whatever we need for spiritual growth comes to us naturally. Regarding basic books in Astrology there are plenty. My favourite ones are Dr.Charak's introductory books (2 Volumes) followed by Hart De Fouw's Light on Life. After these books you can read Shri KNRao's books for application of these fundamental principles. You should, side by side, use classical references as you Read these and other books. Ofcourse I am sure every one has their own opinion on this subject. Regards, -Manoj Parag Shah <paragshah72 Sent: Sun, January 3, 2010 7:11:28 AM Hello Dear Members, I joined this group recently. I have just started learning astrology with the intention of understanding the spiritual potential of a birth chart. I am hoping that I will eventually learn what a person can do in terms of work, stay, etc, to make the best possible spiritual progress in this life. However, my knowledge of Jyotish is very elementary. Can someone please suggest a first book from which I can start my study.

Guest guest Report post Posted January 4, 2010 Dear Mr. Shah,Welcome to the group. I am also a beginner. I have bought books on following subjects, and have read in the same order:1. Basic Introduction2. Astronomy and Astrology3. Basic calculations4. Nakshtras5. Rashis6. Planets - nature, relationship, significants etc..7. Bavas (houses) - signifiers, karakas, etc.8. YogasBasically I am following the books available in the BVB shop, Delhi. Mainly authored by KN Rao, GS Kapoor, Gopesh Kumar Ojha, Vimal Kumar Jain, Nemichandra Shastri etc. You can also find many books on these subjects and writers online on website of Motilal banarsi das (www.mlbd.com). Rest you can arrange from Delhi BVB shop.It gets utterly confusing sometimes and one feels helpless and frustrated. I specially miss a "Guru". I have heard that once the disciple is ready, guru finds him. So I am waiting for my guru to find me and in the meantime, i am just polishing my capabilities. Wish you all the best and hope you find a guru soon.Sincerely yours,Amit BaidParag Shah <paragshah72 Sent: Sun, 3 January, 2010 7:41:28 PM Hello Dear Members,I joined this group recently.

Guest guest Report post Posted January 4, 2010 Amit Ji,You are right, we all need a Guru, especially for science like jyotish. Since you go to BVB book shop why don't you take admission in bhawans Astrology course? Infact I wanted to mention it to Mr. Shah to read Shri KN Raos, 'Yogis destiny and wheel of time' and 'Astrology Destiny and wheel of time' excellent books which every Astrologer must read.Regards,SoniaBaid Amit <amit.baid Sent: Mon, 4 January, 2010 12:18:48 PM Re: Hello Dear Mr. Shah,Welcome to the group.

Guest guest Report post Posted January 6, 2010 Dear Manoj Ji,I totally agree with you. You have put forward a very important point. Life does give us the circumstances and experiences which help us progress spiritually. However, I feel that with the use of astrology, we can perhaps better understand the reasons for certain events and experiences in our life and the purpose we were born for. It is also entirely possible that the same can be understood with quite contemplation as well. But I feel that astrology may be a very good map and guiding light.Again, I am a novice, and I could be wrong.Can someone please throw some light on this? Do the shastras mention anything on the "use of astrology for spiritual progress"?

Guest guest Report post Posted March 22, 2010 Hello Diana, Â Â Â Â Welcome to the e-list! Â I am sorry to read about your medical condition. I have heard of your knowledge of the fixed stars and have been interested in them for some time. In Hinduism, there is a healing God called Dhanvantari, if you are interested in hoping for a miracle. There is also the Ashvin Twins. Â Blessings, Stephen Glaser liberator_9 --- On Sun, 3/21/10, Diana K Rosenberg <fixed.stars wrote: Diana K Rosenberg <fixed.stars Hello Sunday, March 21, 2010, 2:33 PM Â Introducing myself - first, let me confess - I am a tropical (and Uranian) astrologer - but there is hope for my soul, because I am deeply into fixed stars and constellations, and fascinated by the Vedic system and its history. I am 76.99 years old (Apr 9, 1933), and if it weren't for my age and situation (terminal pancreatic cancer - bummer!) I would take lessons in the Vedic system...one other thing holding me back is that I am in the process of getting my book on fixed stars and constellations (30 years of research) ready for the printer, which is totally time-consuming. The editor of India's Saptarishis Journal asked that I submit to an interview about my work and life, and an old friend, Edith Hathaway, who is a Vedic astrologer but very knowledgable about tropical, Uranian, etc, volunteered to be the interviewer, and while working with her I have become enormously impressed by her knowledge and technical abilities, so when an old e-friend, Dr John Andre, suggested I join the group, I decided to take the leap ( I have also been impressed by Therese Hamilton's messages on other groups) I can't " talk Vedic " but what I can do is offer my knowledge of fixed stars and constellations.

Hi Diana, It's great to have you here, and somehow, I can't see you leaving us just yet. Actually this isn't a Vedic (Jyotish) forum. The absent owner is (I believe) a staunch western sidereal astrologer. I volunteered to take over as moderator as he wanted to put his energy elsewhere, and I'm still here several years later. (We do have some tropical lurkers on this forum.) You're probably had it " up to here " with well meaning advice from others about treating cancer. The latest (from my daughter) is a raw foods diet. She saw a late night television program about so-called miracle cures. (I'd do your solar return, but can't find your birth chart.) I've become totally intrigued with the binary theory for our sun because it means the equinoxes are stable (no precession) but the sidereal sky is moving as our solar system curves through space. This has major implications for the study of the stars and constellations in relation to zodiac signs. So what is happening if the tropical zodiac is seen as shifting when it's not really moving? The stars and constellations are moving instead (from our perspective). http://www.binaryresearchinstitute.org/ But we keep shifting the starting point of the tropical zodiac. Think about it: In the binary theory, zero sidereal Aries is actually shifting instead of the equinox. But zero Aries is still zero Aries against the stars. If the stars help define tropical signs, doesn't this mean that tropical sign interpretation has to keep changing? Please keep us posted on progress with your book. It's going to be three volumes??
