Guest guest Posted December 27, 1999 Report Share Posted December 27, 1999 OM KRISHNA GURU OM Dear Yasomati Nandana, No, you have to use the " Cowries " (small shells) that have been purified with the Guru Mantra. The translation " Giving the Number " has been misunderstood by most people who are not very accoustomed to the indian culture. Here, the Questoner, asks the question and the Jyotisha throws the " cowries " three times. Alternatively, you can use coins made of silver, but with a small diameter. However, the shells are best as they represent the MOON. Think of other innovative ideas for replacing the Cowries. Better to use the 108 Number system of Mukunda Daivagya (A very great worshipper of Radha-Krishna) and the author of the classic " Nasta Jataka " . I have tried Tithi-Kala with some luck in the past. But do not recommed this. See the Lakshana's very carefully. This is the crux of Prasna Jyotisha.

Jaya Jagannath! While conducting the ashtakamangala prashna and asking the person to give a three-figured number. Suppose he gives 960. Can this number be used as per Prashna Marga or should each of the the figures be taken by modulus 8, that is 168 in this case?
