[Jagannath] Clashes Between My Three Gurus

[Guest guest]

Dear Narasimha and Sanjay,

 

I have followed your exchanges whenever you disagree on an issue (in part or

whole) - I wish to state my admiration for the stance both of you take -

that is, Narasimha for not being scared to disagree with his Guru(s), and

for Sanjay not being offended by any disagreements - more so because both

of you are not afraid of doing this publicly - well done - you could hide

behind private e-mails to disguise any contentions, but choose not to - it

encourages me to make my own choices too when I see 2 or 3 conflicting

opinions from the Teachers.

 

In fact, whenever I have asked you a question and given you 2 or 3 options I

have been taught, Narasimha you have always stressed it is just YOUR opinion

(and therefore you do not force it upon me).

 

Going on from this, Narasimha - I attach a question from me which you

answered some months back - I was at the Time I posted this much less

accurate than I am now at predicting - at the time I posted, I was using the

" Conservative " methods of Jyotish, i.e. the ones that you and Sanjay

favour - at Present I am using 's System Analysis - my

Predictive Techniques are as accurate with both Techniques!

 

" The Same Destination by Different Paths " :-) .

 

Here is that Post - I will tell you why I was so amazed at the end...

Dear All,

 

Female - Born on

 

21-October-1976

at 9:55 A.M.

Place of birth - Bombay

 

Had an arranged marriage (did not go through with it) - commenced engagement

in November '98, due to be Married in July '99, but had arrangement break-up

in July '99 itself (due to Dowry request from boy's family).

 

Having looked over Rasi / Chandra / Navamsa Charts, I make marriage

possible ****from July 99 to December 99 (Moon-Reckoned Dasas)****

OR ****December 99 to May 2000 (Ascendant-Reckoned Dasas)****

Native is also concerned with Nature / Status of future Husband (if

not able to find one on her own, will no doubt have arranged Marriage

imposed

by Parents elsewhere).

 

 

[Narasimha wrote]

 

Husband may be an honorable, noble and idealistic intellectual (upapada in

Sagittarius, aspected by Moon and exalted Mercury).

 

==========

 

Narasimha,

 

The girl contacted me just a few days ago - she got married on the 7th of

January 2000 - her Childhood friend (who moved to the USA) came to India on

a re-visit, and proposed.

 

So the Method I and you used then of " Conservative " Jyotish worked!

 

Having said that, the S.A. methods also work, added to which I am now a few

more months wiser in my predictions, since making that one!

 

As per your comment on the Character of the Native's Spouse, you said -

 

" Husband may be an honorable, noble and idealistic intellectual (upapada in

Sagittarius, aspected by Moon and exalted Mercury). "

 

Native now confirms this is indeed the Case.

 

Thank you, and very best - Sateesh.
