Dear Gauranga, I don't think you followed the discussion correctly.

 

Sanjay did not suggest casting a chart at the " specific time when the

prashna was both made by the native and heard by the astrologers " , as

you say above. If that is the case, you are right - there is only one

chart.

 

But Sanjay suggested casting the chart for the time when the Jyotishi

tries to answer the prasna (and NOT when he receives it). So, it is

wrong to say " the chart is all the same " . It need not be.

 

Potentially, different astrologers can attempt the prasna at

different times and get different charts.

I think so too. That is the problem....
