SPAM SPAM Manoj ji--what makes a good Vedic Astrologer?

January 8, 2008

Dear Manas,

///I was told by one of my gurujana that Sri Sanjay Rath had written that

atmakaraka's association with the 11th house, for some reason, brought into

being a successful astrologer/jyotishi.///

The SJC group have their own methods for chart analysis - mixing Parashara

and Jaimini systems indiscriminately etc - this method is not promoted on

Jyotish-Vidya.

Pasted here from Jyotish Vidya website is a small piece regarding the

success achieved by two famous astrologers...

**Name & Fame:

With 3rd/6th lord Jupiter, dispositor of YogaKaraka Saturn and Rahu, exalted

in 10th house of status (reputation, publicity) it was destined that his

work/service(6th) would receive great recognition and that his reputation

would spread throughout the world, bringing to fruition his strong

desire(3rd) for such.

Rahu's association with 10th house is often seen in the charts of those who

have gained great name and fame. For Mr. Rao, as we see, Rahu's dispositor

(Jupiter) is exalted in 10th whilst 10th lord occupies the Ascendant.

The same influence can be seen in the chart of the late B.V. Raman (another

jyotish icon) with Rahu's dispositor (Jupiter) in sign of Grt.Frnd in 10th

whilst 10th lord aspects the Ascendant from 7th house. Divine planet Jupiter

is the significator for knowledge - Vedic knowledge particularly (i.e. Vedic

astrology, also known as Jyotish) and Rahu, as we know, is capable of

bestowing the greatest worldly success.**

///VK Chowdhuri: Atmakaraka sun is in 3rd house and though in leo, is weak

in

shadbala with mercury, venus, and ketu. Mars the lord of 11th is in 12th

from atmakaraka.///

We find a similar (Rahu) influence in this chart with Rahu's dispositor

aspecting Jupiter in 10th. Rahu in 9th BTW speaks volumes about his moving

away from traditional Vedic astrology and formulating his own system.

Best Wishes,

Mrs. Wendy

Astrologer?

This is just a thought starter and so please not read any more into this

post!

I was told by one of my gurujana that Sri Sanjay Rath had written that

atmakaraka's association with the 11th house, for some reason, brought into

being a successful astrologer/jyotishi.

Taking a small testbed comprising:

P.S. Sastri, KN Rao, BV Raman, KS Krishnamurthy, VK Chowdhri, we get

P.S. Sastri: Atmakaraka mercury in 10th, strong, in sagittarius, jupiter in

fifth in exaltation. Budhaditya in 11.

KN Rao: Sun is atmakarka in 12th house with budhatitya yoga (with ketu) in

virgo. Sun is also lord of 11th!

BV Raman: Moon atmakaraka in 4th exalted with saturn, aspected by lord of

11th, jupiter in 10th!

KS Krishnamurthy: Atmakaraka is RAHU placed in sixth in kendra with lord of

11th mars.

VK Chowdhuri: Atmakaraka sun is in 3rd house and though in leo, is weak in

shadbala with mercury, venus, and ketu. Mars the lord of 11th is in 12th

from atmakaraka.

Of all of these fine astrologer gentlemen, BV Raman and KN Rao can probably

be selected out as great astrology writers with a demonstrated track record

of successful predictions, at least mundane ones. Perhaps we can focus on

their publicly available charts and learn more.

Thanks for your kind attention...

Dear Wendy,

I hope you will take my reply in the right spirit and good faith. I do not wish

to give the impression that I was somehow endorsing The SJC group and their

teachings. To be candid, I am not even sure what their teachings are, or know

their products enough to comment on that. I certainly do not wish to create

controversy, real or apparent, on your forum. After all this is your home into

which you have graciously and kindly invited us into and like good guests in a

civilized society, we all must display our best etiquette.

I also read in one of your recent reminders to members that this forum is

primarily/only (I hope I am not misrepresenting your statement) devoted to

Parashari astrology, or essentially the framework presented in Brihat Parashara

Hora Shastra (and perhaps also Laghu and Madhya Parashari, very important texts

for those who want to delve deeper into Vimshottari dasha nirnaya -- or maybe

those are out of the scope of this forum). In that vein, your gentle reminder

about not mixing Parashari and Jaimini methods is noted, particularly since a

majority of readers might be beginners. However, what perplexes me is that

everything that I wrote earlier is based on what I read in BPHS! Including

charakarakas and rashi drishtis etc. I can provide references to clear out any

confusions that I was mixing two different methods. Not having researched or

seriously practiced anything other than Parashari framework to a significant

extent I am at a loss really about what you implied.

Once again, being the hostess you are entitled to your decisions, judgments and

boundaries but I thought I should clarify my position so that I am not

misunderstood.

After all, it is the same sun that is the lord of the 7th house as well as

bhratrikaraka in a given kundali and it does not wear two hats, Parashari on

some days and Jaimini on other days.

I would not prolong this discussion further, but just felt that I should explain

my position and request you to indicate where Parashari ends and Jaimini system

begins, since all I have is BPHS to look towards and follow.

MKu
