Guest guest Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 Dear Respected memebers As some individuals with scientific bent of mind like Kursija ji have raised concerns i am making one more mail ,before the paper to make them understand the astronomical subtilities - 1)Late Santhanam - " Aspects are referred to in the divisional charts here. I am unable to fully conceive the logic in aspects in divisional charts for the SAGE HIMSELF REFERRED to the LONGITUDINAL aspectual evaluations in an earlier chapter. Without commenting further on this controversial aspect I leave it at that, accepting my limitations to explain this fully. " 2)Mr.Bose - ''One has to remember that when a planet is in Thula(Libra) and another one is in Mesha in Navamsha chart, they are there in those respective rasis because those planets occupied (in the birth chart) segments ruled by Venus and Mars, the lords of Thula and Mesha respectively.'' ''Such a relationship originates in the amsa lordship between segments of a given rasi, it has got NOTHING TO DO WITH any ANGULAR relationship between planets existing at the time of birth. Therefore, there is no justification to consider that these planets are in opposition in the same sense as they will be in rasi, if they are similarly placed.'' ''The starting point of the math for evaluation of drikbala function is the longitude of planets. Is it not clear that the drikbala is aspectual strength? If there is no longitudinal identity,and consequently no angular relationship can be attributed between planets in an amsa chart, does it not make aspect and aspectual strength a foregone conclusion in amsa charts?

Guest guest Posted July 28, 2007 Report Share Posted July 28, 2007 Dear Vijayadas Praqdeep, I have clearly said that Astrology is based on Astronomy and laws of mathematics. The movements of planets is governed by Kepler's law and modified with the observations of Nasa.Even the laws of Motions has been modified. But we have not modifies our astrological rules according to the available data. We are not in a position to explain that why superior planets have been granted three full aspects. We have accepted with due respects what has been written in our classics hundreds years ago, when our classic clearly say that data should be modified after every 60 years or so due to precession of equinox. Every thing in this universe is moving and is relative. Nothing is absolute and determine, fixed. More over our astrological books are in sanskrit and has been translated by scholars who know sanskrit bur not astrology. In sanskrit a single word has many meanings. I have faced this difficulty while teaching reduction in longevity due to Kuja in Ashtakvarga. So we have to refer the experience of our early scholars in astrrology Sh.Harihar Majumdar, Devikinand Singh, Dr.B.V.Raman, Sh. Surya Narain,Smt Gayatri Devi, Sh.K.N.Rao, Iyenger, Sanjay Rath, PVR Narsimha Rao, Santhanam and host of others.Sh. K.N.Rao accepts aspect in varga, Late sh. Santhanam does not advise to accept. Similar is the position for the signs of Rahu and Ketu. Similarly we are confused for so many things in other fields of Astrrology. Accept that we are not clear about the aspects of planets in varga. Time and experience will clear it. But one thing is crystal clear that Astrology is based on Astronomy.Any thing against Astronomy's law is to be rejected.

Guest guest Posted July 28, 2007 Report Share Posted July 28, 2007 Dear Shri Kursija Yes ,a very balanced and good post. I liked one point in the mail.Scholars who knows Sanskri but not astrology(in depth). No one could had told it better.During my course of discussions ,i id mention in similar lines.Average Sanskrit Knowledge and High astrological knowledge is the pre-condition. As you have said if you give an astrological shloka to a samskrit scholar with average astrological knowledge - It will be a tough time for that gentleman.One should be able to pick the relevant sanskrit meaning based on astrological context.Only learned ones from the Gurukula Sampradaya can do this. Let our collective efforts takes us towards Truth,no matter whose views are those. Regds Pradeep , " S.C.

Guest guest Posted July 28, 2007 Report Share Posted July 28, 2007 Dear Kursijaji, This was a good post coming from you. My views- Astrology is based on Astronomy, Yes, but not astronomy of today.Astronomy of today declares Pluto a Planet, and after few decades, undeclares the same. At the same time astronomy of today does give us the statistical data of the Planets we use in the form of daily motions,degrees, aspects etc.which without their aid would take us one month to prepare or study , any one chart manually. Therefore we have to choose the factors in consensus by the great scholars, and leave others to individual discretion. I have given few references of Shri Santhanam in my previous mails taken after lot of hard work,in searching for these, and also given the Book names and Page nos. which clearly show that Shri Santhanamji, was actually using aspects in Divisional Charts too. But I am not going to start any argument,please. And of course there are many issues yet,which have to be settled and brought to proper understanding. regards, Bhaskar. , " S.C.
