Guest guest Posted July 28, 2007 Report Share Posted July 28, 2007 Pradeep, it good to see it being seen in proper light as Intended and I don't mean any slant or twist in what I have to say, I use the backbone as laid by our rishies and it has inbuilt axim for Desha, Kala, Paristhi where we need to adapt it to our times we have to we can't do more and all contemporary beings who live in a material world unlike them on a purely Dharmic, detached world had through their higher conscious levels been able to see what we see through newer scientific embellishments or tools, most of what they had described on planets stars are just confirmed by science today except that we tend to see most of our works as understood by our imperial rulers in the past 1000 years than the way Rishis laid out for that we need to read the source just like to enjoy the beauty of Ganga we need to go to Manasoravara we need to go to the source for many of its secrets to reveal to us sanskrit is a beautiful language as u grow older u find the same words meaning to u differently so one who translate it or read such a work at a time may be in a time warp that needs to be always updated live no frozen interpretation is implied like when they said on 4th house u see Santhanam's works still talk of bullock carts, cows, elephants but many others earlier to him say Raman or his grandfather have used conveyances and also included these animal driven ones and we still relate the speed to HP-horse power.forall the new vehicles that come from time to time. so on the concepts like aspects I have already said what I understood from what the rishies implied and we have used for ages. we surely can't try to build a fool proof model for s/w to be written as I had already said in earlier messages, bulls eye is not the scope of Jyotish [though possible and happens ] and it can work only to help a individual in need with the driving force from almighty we mere are instruments for this like hoe computers are for us except that we are sensitive to ones needs and do a reading from our references mentally which comes from several works above all experience in dealing with them in our times. and the need and karma quotient fof the individual to be helped by us. People who have claimed to invent systems have found it works for them [will work inspite that for them] as they may blessed to read it anyway but they need not work for the followers of such systems as we can see many systems come and go and the LIGHT as shown by our rishis alone will continue to throw light on any dark matter if applied rightly. I am still open to see ur work on this as U have said.will do soon Best wishes On 7/28/07, vijayadas_pradeep <vijayadas_pradeep wrote: > > Dear Prashant Kumar ji > > Thank you for your thoughtful mails. > > Regds > Pradeep > > <%40>, > " astro desk " > <astro.prashantkumar wrote: > > > > Dear Satya, > > yest I wanted to make my point thru the word Graha itself which in > essence > > covers all of the so called astronomy angle to it it is part of it > not > > whole. > > > > and this trying to invent the wheel is not possible as I said and > here as ur > > last line said I have too innumerous occasions said same and added > > > > precession or bulls eye prediction is not the scope of vedic > astrology > > though it happens in a high percentage of cases. > > > > Jyotishya is a science of light for the end of the tunnel for the > suffering, > > as when misfortune comes it always comes with a company of others > [simple as > > we get bogged down by it] by understanding that we have to face a > tough time > > for x length of time we can mentally be prepared for it and also > minimise > > our damages > > > > also when fortune comes also it comes with a good company if we are > awake > > can reap much more than we do but if we get lost in celebrating it > it also > > will fade away. what else can be done in a good phase must also be > done say > > when u earn well some charity helps in any form so there r 2 good > things > > same time isn't it. > > > > again for predictions we need 3 angles of a equilateral triangle > > > > a sincere situation of the client a well versed astrologer and > almighty who > > will chanelise the knowledge of the astrologer to help him if it is > time to > > come out of a tight spot, else the best men also will falter and > not be able > > to predict usefully to them and after such people have left and > beyond reach > > the astrologer will recollect ah I must have told him this... what > is part > > of ones karma to get a solution thru a Davignya a mere interpreter > of divine > > will, script and the various works of astrology are mere tools in > the hands > > of good men and can fail as said when Almighty wants the qurent to > wait for > > some more time to come out of his mess. > > > > Best wishes > > > > On 7/27/07, Satya Sai Kolachina <skolachi wrote: > > > > > > Dear Prashant, > > > > > > There are other questions also I raised, which you did not seem to > > > attempt here. > > > But I still appreciate your attempt to get the essense of any > > > subject and then comparison may make sense between subjects; this > is > > > what I was trying to convey to the people when they are looking > for > > > every thing in black and white, when they look into Vedic > astrology. > > > Our knowledge on both astronomy and vedic astrology is too little > to > > > make such a comparison. > > > > > > If one looks for astronomical calculations to find aspects in > varga > > > charts; they may not find one today.

Guest guest Posted July 28, 2007 Report Share Posted July 28, 2007 Dear Prashanth ji I could see experience talking in your mail.There are many valid points in your mail. I would like to make certain things clear regarding the purpose.If it is certain confirmatory principles,that are being considered ,there is no necessity for one to make so much noise and energy against. As you know Jyotish has thousands of principles and cannot be mastered in a life time. But if our general direction is wrong,it makes our job even tougher.Giants like Dr.Raman or K.N.Raoji knew where is the crux and which is the main canvas.Inspite of so many debates,Chandrashekhar ji knows nd has demonstrated which is the main canvas. On the other hand,though there has been a considerble change recently visible,many students do had(having?) the impression and practise of considering 100's of parameters in seperate Vargamsha groupings and reach inappropriate conslusions(my view). It was the anger and frustration at this plight,that made one spend so much energy.But my intentions can be suspected and i cannot prove it either. Thus as you have rightly mentioned considering the nature of Jyotish,we may not impose strict realms.That is notmy purpose either. When the change of direction is so tough(Institutionalsation) even a minor realization among us,can result only with a digging up of basics. Here one has to stand close to the root without any compromise at all. Thus i keep your point in mind and accept it.I will try to take along with me all the experience gained. Thus i am not aganist all tese great men.In my paper i will try to see the root and elementary principles,which can be approved or rejected.I know as in every case some may agree while some may not. Thanks again for all the guidance.
