Guest guest Posted November 28, 1999 Report Share Posted November 28, 1999 JAYA JAGANNATH Dear Gauranga, The Litmus test of any ayanamsa is the accuracy of its working. The Lahiri Ayanamsa is actually the one finally adopted by the Govt. of India after the Lahiri committee comprising of the ablest astrologers debated on the same. Its inherent drawback is the annual progression of 50 seconds which is different from the actual rate of 50.23 Seconds per year. Hence some very minor inconsistencies crop in. Krishnamurti ayanamsa is like Lahiri plus the 0.23 seconds correction till 1920's. We use this because we have not been able to better it. The rest of the stories on ayanamsa are exciting, seemingly full of arguments, but are far fetched. So, till we can better it, we stick to the best available.

I was asked this question and I could answer only that " because my Guru said so " . So I accept it, but is there any explanation for tis being the most accurate one? > > Yours, Gauranga das > > > > > > ------ > Accurate impartial advice on everything from laptops to tablesaws. > http://clickhere./click/1701 > > > > HARI OM TAT SAT > Jaya Jagannatha Mahaprabhu > > -- Check out your group's private Chat room > -- /ChatPage?listName > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
