Dear Shashank,

 

So-called KP astrology is a fantastic body of work put out in

second half of 20th century by KS Krishnamurti and his followers who

drew on the work of Meena and other nadi jyotishis. Nadi jyotish

focuses on the use of nakshatra dispositorships. His work became

controversial to many traditional jyotishis because he also relied on

" Western " techniques such as Placidus house cusps. He had two notable

innovations. The first was to subdivide the nakshatra dispositorships.

A planet can be in a certain nakshatra and certain subdivision or " sub " ,

just as in Vimsottari dasa a planet is in a mahadasha and antardasa.

This allows fine-tuning of when and whether expected events may

materialize. The second was to employ " ruling planets, " a technique

found in Varahamihira also, to highlight the most important among

various significators that may bring about an event. Krishnamurti

became famous for very accurate predictions using prasnas, such as

naming to the minute when a delayed train would arrive. His work

demands a high degree of precision and can lead to great confusion when

applied without a really solid foundation in understanding all the

elements of jyotish, such as the difference between rasis and nakshatras

in significance and how to use them. The type of learning we are

receiving in this list and with the writings of Sanjay and others is

giving us that basis we need to know how to use all types of

techniques. I have been working on a book based on the techniques of

Krishnamurti for a couple of years, and the more I learn the more I have

to go back and revise to clarify

the connections on all levels. I think the best preparation one could

have for any specialized technique such as the KP techniques is to

absorb and digest all the elements of what Sanjay and the other teachers

are trying to impart to us.
