[Jagannath] Prashna

[Guest guest]

Pranaam Sanjay,

OM KRISHNA GURU OM

Dear Narasimha,

Jagannatha Swami Nayana Pathagami Bhava Tu

Me.

Let us try to use our intelligence

to find the answer to that. The

classics also teach that a Prasna that is not genuine should

not be

answered. Now, what is a genuine Prasna? It is the time when

a querist were

to make the prasna to a qualified Jyotish. Thus, the querist

is writing or

saying something with a specific Jyotish in mind. If this is

not so, then

the Prasna is not considered correctly made. There maybe others

also sitting

in the room when the prasna was made, yet the time when the specific

Jyotish

takes it up will be the correct time.

Om Tat Sat

Best Wishes

Because my father and classics taught that way, I did accept it.

But it is not necessarily a bad thing to use the intelligence. Faith in

Guru is a good thing, but doing a sanity check on what one is taught

and asking questions when something doesn't make sense can only help in

furthering or consolidating the knowledge.

Are you saying that a prasna posed to several astrologers is not genuine?

If someone with great faith in you and your students walks in to an SJVC

class at the end of the class and poses a prasna to the class collectively

(addressing the whole class), is not a genuine prasna??

I am not challenging what elders teach. I am only asking a question

that troubles me, so that the knowledge can be consolidated.

May Jupiter's light shine on us,

Narasimha
