Guest guest Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 ||Hare Rama Krsna|| Dear Sanjay P, Namaskar In continuation of our discussion, i’ve come across a problem with the precession theory. See, if the precession is due to the gravitational effect of the Sun and Moon on the earth, then wouldn’t the years get shorter over a longer period of time? Infact since the Gregorian Calendar Reform Commitee in 1582, the measurement of equinoxes and other phenomena is not changing in days of the calender, but only in their position to the stars in space! If we are truly vedic astrologers, then we should be accepting the fact that the Sun is itself orbiting dhruva loka, and if so this should be affecting the precession. This is confirmed by a theory called the Binary Theory of Precession, which The Binary Research Institute (http://www.binaryresearchinstitute.org/introduction/binary.shtml ) has been developing. A very thorough article supporting this theory (in a not too technical way) is given here: http://www.binaryresearchinstitute.org/papers/research.shtml To make this theory easy, i have taken the below example compared to our own Moon: The Moon moves round the earth in 27,3 days. But because the earth is orbiting the sun at the same time, the synodic month (time between full moons) happens in 29,5 days, i.e. off by 2.2 days. Similarly the Earth is orbiting the Sun in 360 degrees, but the earths position relative to the fixed stars is off by 50 arc seconds each year (almost 1 day per year). This is easy to understand when we compare with the Moon, and doesn’t require any equations for gravitational pull! Now a big problem is that the precession seems to be moving faster over the last 100 years. Again we can take the moon as an example for comparisen: The Moon moves around the earth in an ellipse like motion, i.e. not perfectly round. Thus making it fast after reaching its furthest apsis of the ellipse point and slow after reaching its closest apsis. Similarly the Sun could have reached its furthest distance from dhruva some time in the past, and is now moving very fast due to this. The binary theory presents, in the articles on their website, that some thousands of years ago the precession could have been much much slower because of this. The actual numbers are given in their comparisen article. I think we should concentrate our focus in this line, and with it, we are forced to view the entire universe through the Sisumara chakra. Without this understanding, any correction to the ayanamsa is merely an estimate which will be outdated within the next ten years.
