All I am asking is to quote the mantras from any of the Vedas or the Vedanga Jyotisha---or any indigenous astronomical work prior to the Surya Sidhanta of Maya the mlechha--- that talks about Mesha, Vrisha, Mithuna etc. astrological Rashis! Similarly, if someone claims that predictive astrology is Vedic, he/she must also tell us as to how the Vedic Rishis calculated horoscopes of every Tom, Dick and Harry when planets like Mangal and Shani are conspicuous by their absence from all the four Vedas and the Vedanga Jyotisha etc. Obviously, as there are neither Mesha, Vrisha etc. rashis in the Vedas etc. nor Mangal and Shani planets, it is impossible that the Vedic Seers practised predictive gimmicks on the basis of non- existent rashis! Thus, to call any predictive " techniques " (sic!) as " Vedic astrology " is nothing but a fraud on the Vedas! Coming to your second point that predictive gimmicks are a science it appears you are blisfully (or is it deliberately?) unaware that the zodiac cannot be divided into twelve neat and equal divisions/compatments like Mesha, Vrisha etc. rashis astronomically! That just is an impossible task and that is why no astronomer has attempted it till date! Mesha, Vrisha etc. rashis are actually Sanskritization of Aries, Taurus etc. Greek constellations, which were and are unequal! Thus any predictions based on any " equal twelve divisios " of the zodiac can never be scientific! Secondly, you must yourself be aware that as on date no Jyotishi, howsoever great he/she may be or may have been, has claimed more than seventy per cent success in his/her predictions. As per their own words, only God Almighty can make cent per cent correct assessment! It is thus clear that predcitve gimmicks cannot be bracketed as a branch of astronomy, which demands cent per cent accuracy! For example, we can calculate these days solar and lunar eclipses that may take place hundreds of years hence---and those eclipse timings are correct to the nearest decimal second! Similarly, eclipses from 3000 BCE have been calculated already--and that also correct to the nearest decimal second! You can well imagine as to what type of a laughing stock astronomers will make of themselves if they claim " seventy per cent accuracy " in the eclipse timings---which means that the solar eclipse that is supposed to take place say at 3.00 pm in Delhi may take place earlier of later by at least three hours and so on! I may mention in the passing that that is exactly what happened in the past---actual eclipse timings were plus/minus several hours, if not days, from the calculations based on the Surya Sidhanta of Maya the mlechha! Similarly, if just seventy per cent success is/was expected in the landing timings of Voyager or Atlantis or any other spacecraft you can appreciate the disastrous consequences of those experiments! Then again, common sense also precludes our taking predictive gimmicks as a branch of astronomy! How can Mangal, Shani etc. planets affect every individual individually and that also through some intangible Vimshotari or Ashtotari or Yogini or Kalachakra or Manduka or Pluta Dasha etc. Similarly, if a Star is away from me by about 30 Light Years, how can it affect me instantaneously as soon as my Rahu- Dasha or Shani Dasha starts? Further more, jyotishis themsleves are not sure whether they should go by Jaimini system or Tazika system or Lal Kitab or KP or Brihat Samhita etc. or Western system like Secondary Progressions etc. which are poles apart from one another both in the fundamentals as well as the inferences! Then again, in spite of claiming that Vedic astrology is being practised from the very dawn of creation---the Vedas are supposed to exist from the very dawn of creation, which means Vedic astrology must have been propagated from the day one of creation--that means about two billion years, according to Vedic astrologers themselves, they have yet to decide as to which Ayanamsha is the most accurate for making predictions---Some are screaming about Lahiri Ayanamsha being the best whereas others claim that Yuktshwar Ayanamsha is the number one ayanamsha and still others claim Chandra Hari Ayanamsha beats all the others and so on! The net result of all this plethora of predictive techniques and ayanamshas and what not has been that we do not know the real date of Uttarayana or Dakshinayana or Vasanta Sampat or Hemanta Sampat etc. and thus we never celebrate any of our festivals whether Dipavali or Viajaya Dashmi or Mahavira Nkirvana Divas etc. on correct days! Is that what you want us to continue doing just to placate your larger than life ego? Well, I am sorry I do not agree with you there nor am I going to be taken in by such uselss logic and haranguing, that is neither Vedic nor scientific. Dhanyavad.

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 , " Avtar Krishen Kaul " <jyotirved wrote: Shri Maheswara Varma JI, (Are you Maheswara or Maheshwara?) Namaskar! <First of all our vedic astrologers used grahas not planets again may bmillions of them r there> For God's sake, cut this crap from your discussions! If you call predictive gimmicks as Vedic astrology, the burden of proof lies on you! You have to quote the exact Vedic mantras which talk of Mesha, Vrisha, Mithuna etc. Rashis and then Dasha Bhuktis and Mangal and Shani etc. planets. Secondly, if you are talking of grahas and not planets of JPL/NASA data then you have to tell us as to how you calculate them from JPL/NASA data which are meant for the planets known in modern astronomy! <sage valmiki said Lord ram born when 5 planets were exlated ,so without rasi how come exlatation debilation can come ??> There had been a lot of discussion about Shri Rama's horoscope in several forums including and HinduCalendar forum where Shri Sreenadh has " proved " (sic!) that Bhagwan Ram was born in 157 BCE, as per the planetary combinations you are talking about! Some other gentlemen " proved " that He had Incarnated anywhere between 3000 BCE and 9000 BCE! It also appears that you do not know even ABC of ganitam, leave alone astronomy! There are certain " combinations " in the so called horoscope of Bhagwan Rama that you are talking about, which are astronomically impossible! Obviously, they are all a concoction by some good for nothing jyotishi at a much later stage! Regarding your claim that there are references to horoscopes in Puranas also, again, the burden of proof lies on you! You have to give the exact quotations! <Also i request u pls dont call rishis frauds or mlechas .Here u name is atleast a hindu one other wise u know what will happen with recent devlpemnts in india.> Maya, who has admitted to having compiled the Surya Sidhanta, was not a Rishi! He was a Greek astronomer/astrologer who wanted to hoodwink India by spreading jyotish. That could have been the game plan of Greek rulers to make Indians astro-buffs so that they just devoted their time and energy towards discussing horoscopes instead of preparing a war strategy! That is what Hitler also tried to do but it boomeranged on him because the Brits had a better knowledge of statecraft than Hitler! Maya had said that he had got the knowledge of planetary data from Surya Bhagwan by dint of his tapasya! It is an open secret by now that the fundamental arguments of the Surya Sidhanta are the most inaccurate ones. If they had been obtained from Surya Bhagwan they would never have been so monstrous! As such, Maya was a liar of first order! He was a liar only because he was a Yavana, and not a Rish! And it was Varahamihira himself who had called Yavanas as mlechhas! So to call a liar and fraud a Rishi instead of mlechha may be your gameplan! But the truth has to be exposed! Similarly, there are quite a few overseas " Rishis " these days who call themselves Vamadevas and what not. I know several of them personally and have read their articles as well as books. You can rest assured that they have a game plan---to spread false knowledge of Vedic lore throughout the world under the pretext of spreading the so called nirayana (actually niradhar!) astrology which they call deliberately as " Vedic astrology " just to denigrate the Vedas! And people like you are being taken in by them! Just see the trinkets these overseas " Vamadevas " are peddling through several vedic- astrology forums! They are there actually to earn some fast buck, in the name of selling remedial shankh and gems and what not to you! And you call me a missionary and what not because I am pointing out such harsh facts to you! Wake up, my dear " Maheswhar " (or is it Maheswar?)from such a deep slumber of ignorance! Dhanyavad.

Guest guest Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 Respected members of the forum, Namaskar, First of all I welcome to all new members who joined our forum for vibrant discussion on astrology. Members may have noticed that during the month, we have very hot discussion, but as usual without any headway. Because astrologers always try their best to derail the proper discussion. Some astrologer prefers a long silence, some prefer to quit the forum, wheras some prefer to use filthy and abusive language for any proper and systematic discussion on the principle of predictive astrology and thus they force me to terminate their membership (though these tactics are of no use and will never serve the purpose of improving our knowledge through discussion). Though I do not want to expel any member, otherwise very purpose of the forum is defeated. But every discussion has some limit (limit of this forum is only filthy language hence one must be humble and polite while putting his stand and never take it as personal). In this forum, I am always inviting astrologers for sharing their views on predictive astrology so that we may analyze the correctness of principles (I am even not pushing my findings after prolong and original research on the principles of predictive astrology, thought they are contained in my book. Members can even see the list of content in file section). I always categorize a discussion in some points so that we may proceed systematically. But as soon as points are created, astrologers vanished. Because neither they know their own stand nor they want to proceed further for fear of loosing their business. Though I am not concerned with their business. Even some astrologers are using this forum for their business, even then I have no objection. But this forum can never allow filthy or abusive language, though I always say that one must support his stand logically with open mind (remember mind is like a parachute, which only work when it is open.). During this period you may have observed that most of the members are silently reading the msg. I will like to request you to please offer your comments either in favour or in opposition of any point. This is your forum and only forum discussing the science of astrology that too without any prior approval of moderator on any msg. Because discussion is the best way of learning and improving our knowledge. Our sages were also used to take part in `shastrath' (discussion). Only point, which may be remembered is that you must be within astrology (and allied) and never use filthy language against any member of the forum. We are only discussing astrology and not settling any personal or religious score. Hence any member can alert me (even on my email), if discussion is beyond permissible limit. There are many astrologers in the forum, who are active in other forums but silent in this forum. They may have decided for not discussing and may have classified this forum as anti astrology. But, this forum is not anti-astrology but it is for exploring any science or Vedang in astrology, which is being propagated by astrologers for their livelihood instead of infusing the concept of self-confidence, hard labour, improving knowledge thus supporting the Karm theory of Lord Krishna. Thus only blind faith will not survive in coming years. So how long innocent and ignorant members may continue to be exploited by astrologers? Though many members may not be astrologer but may have interest in astrology due to vide publicity in media etc. and they may not have even imagined that they are wrong. Hence it is very essential that every member must know ground realities and always clarify their doubts if any. Remember, a question is always a gateway of knowledge so never kill your inquisitiveness and always analyze your blind faith. Some members have fear that they are not good in English hence they avoid writing. In this regard, I will like to inform them, that they start to write in broken sentences so that we may know what they want to say or hindi knowing members can even write in phonetic language (like mein jyotish jaanta hoon.). There is no harm. If some members have some hesitation then they can also write on my email. I always answer such mails too. If some members have little argument in support of any point then please do not hesitate to share your views. As we are discussing various points academically, scientifically with open mind and without any biased attitude and there is nothing personal. Perhaps this may be the only forum where opposite views are welcome, otherwise almost all forums do not want to allow any opposite msg. And moderator / astrologer are happy in sailing in safe pond among like minded innocent members, who are worried about their job, marriage etc. But actual acid test of ship is always in high sea and not in port. Hence I am always inviting astrologers and individuals who are interested in astrology either they have opposite views or not. Hence you can also invite your friends who may be in any other forum, group, site etc. We have discussed many points. Hence you can just pickup any point of your choice and I will like to proceed in that direction. Because if you continue to proceed in any direction step wise then you your self realize the foundation of astrology and where you are right or wrong and members can realize as to how predictive astrology was fabricated around false footings and astrologers neither have any solid argument in support of their stand nor they have sufficient study If you continue to collect the views of many astrologers then you will yourself realize as to how they have different views contradicting each other but never come forward to openly to correct others. If some astrologer is saying that predictive astrology is not vedic it may either be hindu astrology or Indian astrology then some astrologers are breaking the head to establish it as vedic. If some astrologer is against kaal sarp or mangali dosh then many other astrologers are earning only through this circus. If some astrologer is saying that there is no remedy either by gem or by mantra etc. then other astrologer are claiming remedy only by some simple remedy of Lal kitab. ………. And so on. Thus I only want to say that instead of wasting our time as to how many astrologers are on which side, we must analyze astrological principles it self and when we know as to how signs were formulated, how sign lord, friendship, aspect, dasha etc. were formulated then only we can realize that whole set up is now bogus. Though when it was formulated by our sages it was quite logical, acceptable, without any logical opposition etc. But now with latest information of universe and solar system, whole set of principles is bogus. I have analyzed each and every principle in detail in my book. But members are not opening their mind to take fresh air then nothing can be done. I hope you will continue to provide your full cooperation with active discussion and not with silence and invite other astrologers to support your stand with open mind. If all members may raise or defend their stand logically and not personally then we may have very vibrant and useful reading material. For initiating your discussion you may ask your-self as to whether astrology is science, vedic ? how principles were formulated and so on. Members may take help of friends of other forums too and may raise these points in their forum for deciding the appropriate answer. If some members have some useful books, article, links, blog etc. then they may upload them for the larger benefit of the members and for discussion if required. If you have some email addresses of the individuals (astrologer or general), whom you would like to invite in this forum, then either you can invite them or intimate their email to me and I will personally invite them. If you have some suggestion or want to inform something personally then you can also write to sanatkumar_jain. If any member passes through Gwalior then he can meet me and can contact on 0751-2626868. Thanks once again to every member, Yours Scienceofastrology Think differently, Think logically and Think scientifically Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
