[Jagannath] Prasna (Horary): My practice of my father's approach

[Guest guest]

Jaya Jagannath

Dear Narasimha & Vijay,

The process of the formation of the question is like pregnancy.

Initially it is unclear and blurred andlater it crystallises. This could

take months to form like questions pertaining to spirituality. Thus, if we

were to try to attempt the time when the prasna was first conceived, then we

are attempting the impossible.

If we take the time when the prasna was finally conceived, then also we

are attempting the impossible, because the querist will never know this and

will attempt a guess.

Communicating the Prasna: This can be communicated to ten different

astrologers at ten different times. For example a businessman suffering

losses goes to one astrologer with the same prasna on one day and to another

on another day. Thus, each Jyotish will have a different Prasna Jataka.

Thus each Jyotish will get the Prasna in his ears (Hearing or receipt of

communication is Akash Tatwa and is ruled by Vishnu/Jupiter) at different

times. Thus depending on the blessings of Jupiter/Vishnu the blessed one

gets the right time.

As regards examples, I have about a dozen charts everyday. This proves

nothing.

Om Tat Sat

Best Wishes

Sanjay Rath
