Jyotish Workshop June 2003, San Francisco Area

[Guest guest]

Hi Alfonso,

 

Thanks for the information on the Sunnyvale workshop. Sometimes these guys

from India have something to offer. A few years ago there was a little old

village man here who had inherited the ability to psychically give anyone's

birth hour.

 

Apparently he was always right. I believe he gave a 1:10 p.m. time for

Princess Diana, but the Vedic people assumed he didn't now about daylight

savings time and continued to use the 2:00 p.m. time. But I set up the 1:10

chart, and for various reasons it looked right to me. I'll have to find the

article where he gave Diana's time. I don't think this village man charged

because he considered that he had a 'divine gift.' Stranger things than

that happen in India.

 

These men from India have our number here in America. They collect a lot of

money and go home without paying taxes. A major problem is that they often

have such heavy Indian accents that you can't understand what they are

saying in a workshop.

he has a formal education in physics, chemistry and mathematics.

 

I'm sure the 40,000 charts is an overstatement. Astrology is the 'second

profession' for older men in India, although this man sounds like a

professional. They finish their jobs in education or for the government and

then they set themselves up as astrolgoers and write a few books. All very

much admired in India.

Ah, he is going to have the class members tell him about the health

problems!!?? Good education for the teacher. I wonder if he's written a

book on health problems yet?

 

The emphasis will be on problems faced in interpreting charts of ordinary

people with " mixed " indications rather than of well known people with clear

indications.

 

This a good approach because it's the ordinary charts that are the most

difficult to interpret.

I appreciate you posting this Alfonso Thank you. I expect the Vedic Council

people have already filled up the class. They charge a lot for their

astrological services. The cost is a bit too steep for me.
