I don't agree with your analogy of conception.

 

The time when the question strikes in the most basic form is

analogous to conception. The time when the query is formed in

clear terms for being posed to an astrologer is analogous to

delivery.

I have two problems with this:

 

(1) The time when astrologer finally analyzes the prasna is

dependent on the actions of the astrologer. How can lagna of that

chart represent the queror then?

 

(2) Saying that different astrologers get different charts and

the blessed one gets the right one sounds too arbitrary to me.

One could extend this to natal charts, after all, and say that

the exact birthtime is not needed and astrologer can cast the

chart for the moment he analyzes a native's fortune and the

blessed astrologer gets the right chart.

 

This may sound like an exaggeration to you, but there isn't much

difference.

 

With the approach I outlined, query formation time is fixed and

all astrologers have the same chart. It is no longer arbitrary.

I am surprised by this assertion Sanjay. I never said it " proves "

anything! The four examples were just for illustrating how the

basic nature of query is visible in the query formation chart.

They do not prove anything.

 

By detailing my approach to prasna, I did not want to prove

anything. My only wish is that learned astrologers (including

you) should consider my approach with an open mind. I wrote it

because I am convinced that it is worth your (and others')

consideration.
