Dear Sanjay Rath Prabhu,

 

Please accept my namaskars.

 

What would the above mean? Is there a mailing list that I should be a part

of? Then please tell me how to to it. I'm also waiting for Your

evaluation of the last task and any further tasks. I also have quite a few

questions. Let me here submit a few. I hope tha You will have time to answer

them.

 

1. Which Ayanamsha do you reccommend to use? Currently I'm using Lahiri. Is

that all right?

S.RATH: USE LAHIRI FOR THE PRESENT

 

2. Which house system do You prefer? I've found that Parashara Rishi gives a

method for calculating the Bhava Sphutam fot the 10th House that would give

the MC point, (Ch 5. 21-22 BPHS trans. by GC Sharma) so that makes up

unequal houses system. At tha same time I didn't find any direct reference

towards equal houses or equal signs systems in ancient works (which I don't

know perfectly of course). So is unequal, or Sripati really preferred to the

other two? If yes, than it would give quite a difference in some cases in

comparison to the Rasi kundali. Then should we examine house lordships,

yogas etc. in Rasi or Bhava kundali?

S.RATH: I DON'T AGREE WITH THAT TRANSLATION. USE RASI=BHAVA.

 

3. And finally what is the most accurate method for finding unknown birth

time or Lagna which we have many times? Varaha Mihira for example gives tow

methods in the 7th Shloka of the 26th Ch. of Briha Jataka, which would give

two different results if applied to the same Prasha kundali. First he says

that the Janma Lagna will be the Navamsha of the Prashna Lagna, then he says

that it will be as many isngs removed from the Prashna Lagna, as the

Drekkana occupied by the Sun is removed from the rising Drekkana at the time

of query.

Which one of the two is correct, or is there a third, more accurate method?

S.RATH: THE TRANSLATION OR YOUR UNDERSTANDING IS NOT CORRECT. THE LAGNA IS

TO BE SEEN FROM THE NAVAMSA PRASNA LAGNA. WHAT IS TO BE SEEN IS A SEPARATE

ISSUE. THE JANMA LAGNA CAN BE THE 1ST, 5TH, 7TH OR 9TH FROM THE NAVAMSA

LAGNA OF PRASNA OR THE SIGN OCCUPIED BY THE LORD OF NAVAMSA LAGNA IN

NAVAMSA ITSELF.

THESE ARE THE SIGNS OF JUPITERS INFLUENCE (1,5,7,9 & PAKA LAGNA).

 

I've got many more questions of course, but I have to move step by step. I

hope that our communication problems are now solved.

 

Your servant, Gauranga das

S.RATH: IT IS THE WISH OF SRI jAGANNATHA.
