Sv: Applicability of Narayana Dasa Compression?

January 27, 2001

Om Namo Narayanaya

Dear Sanjay, thanx for kicking Narasimha into motion.. =)

Dear Narasimha, I had kept the fact about Paramayush in mind before asking the question, however after meditating on it, i felt obliged to ask.

Compression can be done for all dasa's, however progressing Dasa's beyond the persons birth/death can show events before and after the birth/death, that yet deal with the natives life. Doing this with Vimshottari Dasa, would offcourse put me on my toes, pointing with great dismay. However if Dasa progression beyond the birth is possible, then what is the use of compression i thought.

Any how.. Thanx for your answer.

Best wishes, Visti.

Dear Visti,I was going to skip your question, but Sanjay asked me to reply. Here is my thinking:> Narasimha,> Can I see your reply to Visti's question.

Basically Narayana dasa of a human being shows how lagna progresses during his maximum life period (paramayush), i.e. 120 years. The first 120 years of Narayana dasa computed us show how lagna progresses during one's paramayush.In a non-human chart, paramayush may be less than 120 years. For example, paramayush of an Indian PM's tenure is 5 years and paramayush of a lunar new month chart may be 29.25 days. Then we simply compress Narayana dasa to that period.The issue is not that Narayana dasa is tied to Sun's transit. The issue is that the *measurement of time* is tied to Sun's transit!! We measure time in terms of Sun's longitude.This is true irrespective of how much period we are compressing to. For example, let us say we are finding compressed Narayana dasa for a lunar new month chart. At the beginning of the lunar month, Sun may be at 23Sc00. At the end, he may be at 21Sg45. In that case, Sun moved by 28.75 deg during the month. So the length of the month is 28.75 degrees of Sun (see, we are measuring time in terms of Sun's longitude). When we compress 120 solar years of human paramayush to this time, each years corresponds to 28.75 deg/120=14.375 arc-minutes of motion by Sun! We can do the same thing for antardasas, pratyantardasas etc.So the issue is that TIME is measures in terms of Sun's motion. The paramayush need not be in multiples Sun's motion theough one rasi as you seem to suggest.> 2.
