Dear Ghopal ji,

Namaskar,

Thanks for your quick reply.

 

I surprised to know that you have studied in JU, Gwalior. Inform some

more details about your college, residence, friends, present job etc.

I am living in Dal Bazar. I will like to meet you during your next

visit to Gwalior. Sh NN Pandey is professional astrologer and busy in

………… JU has started the course on Jyotish some 4 years back at the

time of NDA Govt. But it has only 3-4 students since then. I know

that Shri Pandey Ji was not a student since then. I don't know from

where he has done his doctorate in Jyotish.

 

Now your comment :

>>>>>>I am of the feeling if the language is maintained like this

many may

not leave the forum.<<<<<<<

 

I am very particular about the language and I think I am maintaining

my language. Even then I will appreciate if you point out some msg

where I may have slipped. In my welcome note I have mentioned

>>>>>>>> this forum is intended to unearth the science of astrology

hence interaction is totally academic and may never be taken as

personal. Because it is natural that we may have difference of

opinion but there must be no personal difference, and try to strongly

convince the members with your stand, logic, scientific concept etc.,

but never use insulting or filthy language, as is being done in many

other forums. Thus give regard to get regard for maintaining a

healthy academic atmosphere.<<<<<<<

 

However generally I do not forget to mention " Remember that nothing

is personal and it is academic discussion " , so that feeling of any

member may not hurt. Even then if members are not willing to know and

want to continue with their unfounded faith, and prepared to leave

the forum without any personal ill-will then what I can do. I always

want that every one must interact if they think that astrology is

science. Hence I always request members to invite their friends as no

permission is required for membership or msg. I hope members will

realize the importance of interaction, which is available with the

help of science, which was not available to our ancestral.

 

I am also happy that except one/two instances, members are using good

language. I have also warned for using filthy language. But problem

of filthy language may only arise when members come forward with

their stand, but when most of the members are in silence zone so

where is the question of good language. Hi Hi.

 

Regarding Sh. AKK and Dipika Ji, I will like to say that though they

are not in support of astrology, even then their language is very

good. Both are highly qualified. I am reading the msg of Sh AKK since

long and I find that he also maintain his language despite very harsh

language.

 

Regarding

>>>>> I presume that Sun,Moon,Rahu and Ketu must fall in line for a

total eclipse.But that was

not the position last time.Why?<<<<<<<< I will like to say that this

is not the position with this eclipse only. I have mentioned (in my

book) full cycle of eclipse during 18 years where position of Rahu/

Ketu is not matching with the position of sun and moon. Two examples

are also given in my first msg " Astrology a science or myth " .

 

I am again quoting the extract from my msg dated 17-7-8

>>>>>>>you will not find any scripture where it was mentioned that

eclipse is due to shadow of earth or Moon. You can not even provide

the maths behind it. For your kind information Rahu was treated as

only reason for eclipse even Ketu was not mentioned anywhere as

responsible for eclipse. But due to actual eclipse when Rahu was 180

deg away, there was always confusion about the actual cause of

eclipse. But due to imaginary retrograde motion of rahu ketu, eclipse

was traced. After scientific concept about the solar system it was

initially not accepted but in last 50 years it has been accepted by

the society. Thus astrologer also tried to amend and find a new trick

to befool the public by claiming that Rahu ketu is intersection point

of orbit. But is it mentioned by any sages? NO. Because in their

concept Moon was above the Sun then how Moon can create shadow. Thus

I have raised a point in my blog that when Rahu Ketu is intersection

point of orbit and total solar eclipse is visible, it means Sun and

Moon are on the intersection point, and Rahu ketu must be also on the

intersection point. <<<<<<

 

Thus you can see that motion and position as is being used by

astrologers has nothing to do with the correct position and motion.

After analyzing every eclipse I am of the firm opinion that all

horoscopes are wrongly showing the position of these important

planets, whether it may be KP or Indian or western. I have forwarded

my blog " astrology a science or myth " to many astrologers but they

are busy in cheating or exploiting general public hence they prefer

silence. If you want to see then just ask various questions raised in

my blog and find out the answer from the astrologers. As you are

members of many forums and active too.

 

Now you can imagine as to when position of Rahu/Ketu is not correct,

which are very important planets for prediction. Then how a horoscope

is correct or how prediction may be correct or how KP etc. may be

correct.

If you will go through from my blog sincerely then you will find that

every astrological principle is wrong as they were formulated on

wrong basics. And for this you have to know the process of making

pudding (principles) and have to come out from your earlier stand

>>>>>> Why dont you eat the pudding instead of counting the holes in

it.<<<<<<<< (your msg 16-7-8)

 

Most of the astrologers of Gwalior (like many other cities) have gone

through my book and most of them are not interested in discussion for

fear of loosing their business. But some astrologer (local and of

other cities) have admitted in their very personal meeting that they

are convinced with the contents of the book and have no answer except

to follow the system. Now what I can do? Either I may join their band

and exploit innocents or keep informing others. I prefer second

option.

 

 

 

Hope to hear soon.

 

Nothing is personal (except invitation to Gwalior. Hi Hi).

 

Thanks

 

Yours truly,

 

Sanat

Dear Sanat Ji

Thank you for a detailed mail.

I was in IAF at Maharajpura Airport during 1974-1984.I got married there at CP Colony,Morar and had my B.Com.,and M.Com from JU between 1978 and 1982.

My wife's relatives are still in CP Colony though they are also from South.My wife worked in INCOMETAX Gwalior.Now we are all at Salem.TN.

Certainly I would like to meet you when I make my next trip to GWL.

 

Coming to the point ,though the principle exist that Rahu -Ketu are intersection points, the ephimeris give the right time of occurance of eclipse,even with a difference of 5 deg.

What is their workout,how could they give correct time of eclipse?

 

Kindly send me a copy of your book by vpp to the address given below.I would pay and receive.

Let me go thro' before I ask many questions.

Thank you.

Regards

tkp ghopal

Dear Ghopal ji,Namaskar,Thanks for your quick reply.I surprised to know that you have studied in JU, Gwalior. Inform some more details about your college, residence, friends, present job etc. I am living in Dal Bazar. I will like to meet you during your next

visit to Gwalior. Sh NN Pandey is professional astrologer and busy in ………… JU has started the course on Jyotish some 4 years back at the time of NDA Govt. But it has only 3-4 students since then. I know that Shri Pandey Ji was not a student since then. I don't know from

where he has done his doctorate in Jyotish.Now your comment :>>>>>>I am of the feeling if the language is maintained like this many maynot leave the forum.<<<<<<<

I am very particular about the language and I think I am maintaining my language. Even then I will appreciate if you point out some msg where I may have slipped. In my welcome note I have mentioned>>>>>>>> this forum is intended to unearth the science of astrology

hence interaction is totally academic and may never be taken as personal. Because it is natural that we may have difference of opinion but there must be no personal difference, and try to strongly convince the members with your stand, logic, scientific concept etc.,

but never use insulting or filthy language, as is being done in many other forums. Thus give regard to get regard for maintaining a healthy academic atmosphere.<<<<<<<However generally I do not forget to mention " Remember that nothing

is personal and it is academic discussion " , so that feeling of any member may not hurt. Even then if members are not willing to know and want to continue with their unfounded faith, and prepared to leave

the forum without any personal ill-will then what I can do. I always want that every one must interact if they think that astrology is science. Hence I always request members to invite their friends as no permission is required for membership or msg. I hope members will

realize the importance of interaction, which is available with the help of science, which was not available to our ancestral.I am also happy that except one/two instances, members are using good language. I have also warned for using filthy language. But problem

of filthy language may only arise when members come forward with their stand, but when most of the members are in silence zone so where is the question of good language. Hi Hi.Regarding Sh. AKK and Dipika Ji, I will like to say that though they

are not in support of astrology, even then their language is very good. Both are highly qualified. I am reading the msg of Sh AKK since long and I find that he also maintain his language despite very harsh language.

Regarding >>>>> I presume that Sun,Moon,Rahu and Ketu must fall in line for a total eclipse.But that wasnot the position last time.Why?<<<<<<<< I will like to say that this

is not the position with this eclipse only. I have mentioned (in my book) full cycle of eclipse during 18 years where position of Rahu/ Ketu is not matching with the position of sun and moon. Two examples are also given in my first msg " Astrology a science or myth " .

I am again quoting the extract from my msg dated 17-7-8>>>>>>>you will not find any scripture where it was mentioned that eclipse is due to shadow of earth or Moon. You can not even provide

the maths behind it. For your kind information Rahu was treated as only reason for eclipse even Ketu was not mentioned anywhere as responsible for eclipse. But due to actual eclipse when Rahu was 180 deg away, there was always confusion about the actual cause of

eclipse. But due to imaginary retrograde motion of rahu ketu, eclipse was traced. After scientific concept about the solar system it was initially not accepted but in last 50 years it has been accepted by the society. Thus astrologer also tried to amend and find a new trick

to befool the public by claiming that Rahu ketu is intersection point of orbit. But is it mentioned by any sages? NO. Because in their concept Moon was above the Sun then how Moon can create shadow. Thus I have raised a point in my blog that when Rahu Ketu is intersection

point of orbit and total solar eclipse is visible, it means Sun and Moon are on the intersection point, and Rahu ketu must be also on the intersection point. <<<<<<Thus you can see that motion and position as is being used by

astrologers has nothing to do with the correct position and motion. After analyzing every eclipse I am of the firm opinion that all horoscopes are wrongly showing the position of these important planets, whether it may be KP or Indian or western. I have forwarded

my blog " astrology a science or myth " to many astrologers but they are busy in cheating or exploiting general public hence they prefer silence. If you want to see then just ask various questions raised in

my blog and find out the answer from the astrologers. As you are members of many forums and active too.Now you can imagine as to when position of Rahu/Ketu is not correct, which are very important planets for prediction. Then how a horoscope

is correct or how prediction may be correct or how KP etc. may be correct.If you will go through from my blog sincerely then you will find that every astrological principle is wrong as they were formulated on

wrong basics. And for this you have to know the process of making pudding (principles) and have to come out from your earlier stand >>>>>> Why dont you eat the pudding instead of counting the holes in

it.<<<<<<<< (your msg 16-7-8)Most of the astrologers of Gwalior (like many other cities) have gone through my book and most of them are not interested in discussion for fear of loosing their business. But some astrologer (local and of

other cities) have admitted in their very personal meeting that they are convinced with the contents of the book and have no answer except to follow the system. Now what I can do? Either I may join their band

and exploit innocents or keep informing others. I prefer second option.Hope to hear soon.Nothing is personal (except invitation to Gwalior. Hi Hi).Thanks Yours truly,Sanat

Dear Ghopal ji,

Namaskar,

Thanks for your reply and details about your-self. So your in-laws

are in Gwalior hence I am sure you will visit and meet me. I was also

student of JU. Thanks for your interest shown in my book.

 

I am providing full address so that any member can meet me when they

visit Gwalior or passes through Gwalior.

 

Now your point

>>>> though the principle exist that Rahu -Ketu are intersection

points, the ephimeris give the right time of occurance of eclipse,

even with a difference of 5 deg.<<<<<<<<.

You are again confusing. Because the principle that Rahu Ketu are

intersection point is a fabricated principle in view of the concept

of our sages. Who were eagerly observing the eclipse To work out the

time of eclipse they have imagined the concept of Rahu Ketu due to

trouble on Sun / Moon God they have devised the way to free them from

this trouble by donation, bathing in Ganga etc. You may have studied

the story of Samudra Manthan after which Rahu Ketu were created and

they are after Sun and Moon since then. Thus there was no concept of

intersection of orbit of Sun and Moon. Thus they found (and was

followed even after Grahlaghav in 16th century) that eclipse may

occur even if Rahu ketu may be 14 degrees away from the Sun Moon and

they were able to work out the eclipse. (vinshotary dasha on which KP

system has been erected, was also founded on the eclipse ie. Rahu

ketu. You will find detailed procedure in my book) But after the

concept of solar system (which was not accepted by western and Indian

society till mid 20th century); some astrologers have modified it

according to scientific concept that Rahu ketu are intersection point

of orbit. Thus they have actually blasted the concept of our sages.

But for their monetary benefit and popularity of science they are

using both of them.

 

So far working out of the eclipse is concerned you can find that

traditional Rahu ketu with 3-11 retrograde motion is based on the

concept of sages whereas if we want to follow the concept that Rahu

Ketu are intersection point then we have to change retrograde motion

as well as their opposite situation (180 deg). You will find more

explanation in length in my book. So far timing of eclipse is

concerned; now these information is being imported from NASA and used

in ephemeris, almanac etc. Like astrological books who are using

information about the planets as supplied by NASA and not by our

sages. Astrologer's contribution for this astrology is that that they

are saying that all modern information is given by sages. Thus

supplying the information of NASA in the name of sages is greatest

contribution of our astrologers who are encashing the faith of

ignorant public, and prefer silence zone at the time of any

interaction. But main question is this that what they can say when

they don't know any thing in depth except exploitation in the era of

unemployment. From the book you will also find the easiest way to

find out the eclipse. So it is not a problem to supply the detail of

eclipse with wrong data, because eclipse is visible hence correctness

is a must, whereas analysis of data is a brain scratching exercise,

which is neither expected from the businessman astrologers nor from

ignorant public, which is evident from the forum that we have +100

members in our forum, quite educated, from different cities,

different occupation etc. but when they do not have inquisitive mind

(as they prefer silence zone or quitting the forum, as if they have

been appointed by the sages to save sages by supplying the

information of the NASA in the name of sages) then can we expect from

+70% illiterates and 30% followers of these 70% that they may

question astrologer. So merely by using internet or other modern

equipments one can not be inquisitive. Whereas our sages, who do not

have any modern equipment but they have inquisitive mind thus they

can devise the concept of Rahu Ketu. But we, despite having all

modern information are not able to analyze the principles. What a

joke, that lamb are saving the racer, and close minded astrologer or

supporter with blind faith are saving the inquisitiveness of our

sages, who always had best inquisitiveness.

 

I am writing you separately on your email astrogopalji

about my book, and I am sure you will like the original content of

the book like every reader of the book. As till date I have not

received any msg in opposite to my book neither from astrologers nor

from readers except many encouraging letters. Hence I am still on the

job of writing my third book.

 

Thanks and hope you will continue to ask these questions as given

in `Astrology a science or myth' in other forums including our forum.

I am sure that our interaction will jump to new heights, as soon as

you start reading my book.

 

Yours truly,

Think differently, Think logically and Think scientifically

 

 

PS : Some new members have joined the forum. I welcome them in the

only forum, which is discussing about the science if any behind

astrology. I hope members will read some SOA_____- files

and `Astrology a science or myth " ; so that they may find the line of

interaction. I will like to have interaction on any point (old or

new). So existing members may also come out from silence zone and

have inquisitive mind if you want to find the truth of astrology.
