Guest guest Posted July 16, 2000 Report Share Posted July 16, 2000 Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya My dear Narasimha & all Jyotisha, The HORA being the most rudimentary form of calander creation was used to determine the order of the day as well as the starting day in a month or year. The Sunrise is used for Lagna and other calculations of Jyotish day. It indicates one step in calander refinement without throwing out the older basic calander.The calander determined on the basis of the HORA can be used in the POLES as well where the lenght of the day and night are for six months each. The problem lies in your appreciation of this development of the calander and its different uses. The use of tithis was incorporated and this led to the Panchang. Without understanding this rudimentary HORA the foundation of Jyotish will be weak as I see in most students so far. Almost all who have not been taught this from the basics falter in these points. When you ask them to define the day on the basis of sunrise for the poles, they say that they need to think when they know for sure that there is nothing to think..they cannot define the day on the basis of sunrise once in six months. Then the calander in the poles will have only one day and one night in one year!! We all need to accept some things when they can be very shocking. It may take some time to seep in, but think calmly. K N Rao said that he was looking for manuscripts under his bed or almirah when he was asked as to why the planets have special aspects. This is untruth and this is what I detested in a Jyotish of his stature. There was nothing to look for. He knew that he did not have the answer as he was not trained in the tradition, yet he said so to live up to his image of know it all. I am open to criticism and when I say something I am open to debate. Please help me to be this way..I rejoice in OM TAT SAT.

This is over as far as I am concerned. You are welcome > to this view. I only want to consider it and think about it. I do not want to dismiss it. I only took exception to your claim that some people say that they will think about something knowing fully well that there is nothing to think about. There is. You haven't directly answered my question so far: When does a new weekday (Sunday, Monday etc) start? At sunrise or at 6 am LMT? You said 6 am LMT is " only for horas " . Is it also for weekdays in your opinion? Your sishya, Narasimha PS: I am very grateful for the kind comments you made in your email to Vijay.
