Which system is better. The KP or the 4 Step ?

Dear Yogesh ji,

 

I have not quoted any quotes of Shri Punitji. I just confirmed what Punitji mentioned - as mentioned by Subhash ji. Any rules which are not from KP Traditional ( Now when I refer to KP Traditional means, uncorrupted KP - as given to us by shri KSK) , but new rules added must be given another name. But reserach articles strictly adhering to the KP principles is undoubetdly KP, there is no issue about same.

 

4 Step Theory is not KP in full.

Cuspal Interlinks is not KP in full.

So these cannot be considered as KP but other systems, and bifercation of same by giving it another name is fair, I suppose.

If tomorrow I make this smarter looking by adding 2 Steps more and name it "6 Step", then it will not be exactly KP but a variation of KP, so better name it as such rather confusing the coming generations by allowing it to be known as KP.

 

In any case whenever I have time I will make this whole process bifercated into clear cut 20 Steps and name it as "20 Step Theory". This will make my presentation impressive and give me an edge over others.... HaHa.

thanks and regards,

Bhaskar. Bombay. INDIA.

Dear Bhaskar,

Whatever Punit says,as quoted by you, is not necessarily correct...because,if as he says,anything written in K.P. Readers is K.P., than are all other students who have contributed a variety of research articles, in K.P. & Athrishta & K.P. & Astrology...do not use K.P. ? ? !

Truly,a laughable statement indeed, if Punit has truly said so... Yogesh Lajmi.

Dear Mr. Bhaskar,

 

If i sum up your mail i understand that,You need more clarity on 4 step rules. If this is right i would suggest that you write your specific requirements / doubts to Sunilji / Subhashji . My experience is that they reply 100%.

 

Regards

Amit Soman

Dear Shri Subhash ji,

 

Thank You Sir for your kind reply.

 

//When you say that most of the rules (of 4 step) have already been used by Late Shri. Shahasane you must have presumably understood them. //

 

I have understood those rules whatever Shri Sahasneji has explained in his books. Whatever is taught as "4 Step" now and presently, I am unable to understand fully, and the application part.

 

//Therefore it is hard to believe that an astrologer of your caliber still find it confusing. Your allegation that these rules are already used by Mr. Shahasane ji seems to be baseless if you say you did not understand the rules at all. //

 

Thank You, but astrologer of calibre or not , theres no definition or scale of measures as such.

As explained above, the rules already used in Shri Sahasnejis books are understood due to the way its presented in a simple manner with proper illustrations.

 

//It was ruled by moderator Mr. Punit Pandey ji that KP is what is described in KP Readers. Any new theories though derived from KP....such as Late Dr. Kar's Theory, K. Baskaran's theory etc are named differently to identify themselves from KP. 4 step theory is also one such theory. Can it be termed as KP just because you are not comfortable with naming it this way? //

 

Shri Punit ji is right when he mentions that all new theories, improvisations and additions must be given a seperate name so as it is clearly understood by any new entrant to understand what is Original KP, and what is beyond KP. I have no issues here. But if its a new theory then please be genuine in saying that its Original and that no rules have been picked from any other source. If it is not new then please mention the source and also acknowledgment of the source, with due respect given to the source before we address ourself as the originator. Another matter is that before a theory is propounded, then please make it undersrandable to at least 70% of the members. In an earlier mail where reference was made by Shri Sunil ji, to Shri Sahasnejis books that he has not written everything but written articles from his Guru Hasbe jis magazines which Shri Sunil Gondhalekarji has admitted that Guruji has done the

editing, then I do not understand wheres the problem if Guruji Hasbe has himself done the editing ? Why must we point fingers at anyone ? And why were you silent at that mail ? At least for Rs. 300/- the students have got a millions Rupees worth of knowledge from his books containing hundreds of examples and simple style of explaining the rules. The photo of his Guruji has been put on his books, due respect has been given, his Gurujis reference is made in almost every second Chapter. Do You see this in Shri Suniljis book which I purchased from him for Rs.500- containg 40 pages of large Fonts (Xerox Pages) written in a hurried manner, and absolute confused depictions of the rules ? No reference to his Guruji, no respect , no acknowledgement, just nothing.

( If the Pravchankaar depicting stories from the Ramayana to an audience,does not pay respect to the original VedVyas ji who is the Author of this epic, and acknowledge them, then how can he gain grace of His guru or the respect from the audience who is listening to his discourses ?) See I am not concerend with all this, nor am interested in Politics, nor care for who acknolwedges whom, but mentioning this just because fingers were pointed at Shri Sahasne ji . If I am not mistaken Shri Sunilji and Shri Shasneji have learnt KP from the same Guru Hasbeji. pointing one finger at others means pointing 3 at ourselves, is what made me write above.

 

// It is your decision not to comment on 4 step any more, however any constructive comments are always welcome. No system is complete in itself and there is always scope for improvement. Please do not deprive the group members to gain from your vast knowledge and experience. //

 

Sir late Shri Sahasne ji, and Shri Gondhlekarji and those from their generations including late Shri Raichurji, Yogeshji, etc. are Giants of their areas. We have much to learn from them. Theres no question of anybody gaining from us, when they are present around with us. And we have still much left to learn from whatever they have presented to this generation. Now I will always give my comments if they are constructive and you may please answer them whenever they come - astrological doubts about 4 Step. And I assure you they will be constructive and asking for further learning , and not for derision or unnecessary criticism.

 

I humbly submit again -

 

1) We wish to learn the 4 Step, if its really useful.

2) But the present formats available for learning 4 Step is not satisfactory.

3) The rules are not demercated sufficiently understandable enough.

4) If people like your goodself, Shri Tinwinji, Shri Gondhlekarji, Shri Yogeshji, Shri Punitji, etc. and whoever has understood the 4 Step properly are able to write exhaustive Chapters with illustrations at every Step, and also make it in a Book form or make it available on the Net for download, it will become very useful for those who have learnt KP and you will be doing a wonderful service to the present and coming generations without doubt.

5) Even if the Book form costs Rs.1000- I am willing to pay for it. (this is to confirm that we are serious in wanting to study the same, but feel helpless with the current formats of presentations) .

6) Commercialisation is okay because one needs money to even have a morning cup of Tea, but write books which serve the purpose, for which the reader buys them, and not to confuse them, so that they come back asking for further information.

 

I am sorry and apologise if I have offended anyone connected to the 4 Step, and my full respects to Shri Gondhlekarji for presenting the 4 Step theory to us. He is a very knowledgable man, and I have nothing personal against him, so please ignore the wrong signals if any. I just wish that everyone must be given his due respect as regards to the 4 Step theory for wehatver has been their contributions.

 

Thanks and Regards,

bhaskar.

common knowledge, is what I am tring to say Sir. Removing something from KP, then adding another set of confusing rules to it and naming it "4 Step" is not what I am comfortable with. Shri Sahasne has made improvisations to KP in his books, mentioned the areas where he feels further research must be done, accepted his dissatisfactions in certain areas, but never claimed to be originator of any new theories. > If You have understood the 4 Step well, then you may be fortunate. Any improvisations if makes some sense and is not confusing to a student - Beginner or Advanced level student, is always welcome. I did not even understand properly your translation in the Files Section where a 58 KB File on Fout Step theory Rules are, put up. There are about 10 Ruless mentioned which themselves contain many others within them. Understanding the English in any article is another matter, understanding the rules is a seperate matter, and application of them is

again another junction. When to apply which rules is again confusing.

Further the method of working out signification of each planet is entirely different. To differentiate this aspect from KP (and not get confused as KP) it was suitably titled as "4 Step Theory".

These books must be widely used by many KP astrologers. Then I fail to understand why the fact that"he used apparent presently Titled, 4 Step rules, very effectively in KP without making it confusing" may not be of common knowledge? But if this is a fact, then credit must go to him. Frankly speaking since I have not read his books I cannot comment on this.

Sir,

 

I have no time to spread any wrong information about you or anybody, and I do

respect your goodself for your knowledge. If You think that I am doing this then

I am extremely sorry.

 

I am not at Bombay at the moment to count the number of pages,

buy yes I remember the large Fonts and the scanty number of pages in the book. I

am not talking about the paper quality or printing which is irrelevant to a

seeker. What I am talking about is the content. There is no intent in the

content apparently to make any person learn the 4 Step. I also do not believe in

hiting on anyones stomache by getting a Xerox copy (Unless the Book is

inaccesible or not available in market). I have the details of the payment made

to you for your book (As far as I remember it was done through cheque and email

was sent to you, and Your goodself couriered me the Book ).

 

I opened the book at least 20 times in a span of 3 months after buying it from

You, and everytime I was disappointed due to not understanding the same , and

finally its still kept aside.

 

Once again I seek apology Sir, if you think I am spreading any wrong

information. Your goodself and Shri Sahasneji (who was my first KP Teacher)are

both colleagues having learnt from the same Guru. That makes me respect you too

in same vein, so please do not take my intentions as any malafide or otherwise.

 

I will no more talk about 4 Step now unless I have a technical Query about same.

 

And my final request to You, is please write a good book on 4 step. take your

own time. But illustrate it with seperate charts as examples and also explain in

a simple language without use of any symbols to represent the steps. I will be

the first person to buy it, and wherever I am present be sure that I will always

advocate students to buy the original rather than going for xerox copies which I

am the last person to advocate. astrologers are not very rich people and people

who buy one Original and distribute xerox copies of same to others for a low

charge, are white collared hoodlums is what I believe in.

 

kind regards,

Bhaskar.

Dear Friends,

 

In the 4 step theory, as the RPs may not be always helpful or reliable, they are

not used in timing of event like in KP, and so the selection of DBA signifying

each of required houses is applied as the advancement from KP. Unfortunately it

is found not working in many cases and the Sookshma is also to be considered.

 

1. What would be the guideline to select the Sookshma with compared to the

choice of Antara?

 

2. If the RPs are not reliable, how would be dependable of checking and

adjusting the concerned cuspal sub lord by using the RPs?

 

3. Is it reasonable not to change the TOB after changing the concerned cuspal

sub lord? (only the rationale, please. Who said so to adjust and change another

cuspal sub lord for another question is already known)

 

4. If the retrogression is not working in horary as well as natal, how would the

transit check of dasa lords in the star or sub the planets in retrogression be

working?

 

5. How it would be more correct prediction than KP by using Uranus, Neptune,

Pluto in the idea of always conducive to adverse results, while the Western

astrologers are trying for healing of adverse effects?

 

6. Why the primary and secondary are shown in the messages, although only the

primary significators are shown in the English translated 4 step lecture notes?

Does it mean to take into consideration of secondary significators? (KPAstro 3.5

print-out shows only the primary significators, the only ones which are used to

be used.)

 

Thanks and regards,

TW

its Original and that no rules have been picked from any other source. If it is

not new then please mention the source and also acknowledgment of the source,

with due respect given to the source before we address ourself as the

originator. Another matter is that before a theory is propounded, then please

make it undersrandable to at least 70% of the members.  In an earlier mail

where reference was made by Shri Sunil ji, to Shri Sahasnejis books that he has

not written everything but written articles from his Guru Hasbe jis magazines

which Shri Sunil Gondhalekarji has admitted that Guruji has done the editing,

then I do not understand wheres

fingers at anyone ? And why were you silent at that mail ? At least for Rs.

300/- the students have got a millions Rupees worth of knowledge from his books

containing hundreds of examples and simple style of explaining the rules. The

photo of his Guruji has been put on his books, due respect has been given, his

Gurujis reference is made in almost every second Chapter. Do You see this in

Shri Suniljis book which I purchased from him for Rs.500- containg 40 pages of

large Fonts (Xerox Pages) written in a hurried manner, and absolute confused

depictions of the rules ? No reference to his Guruji, no respect , no

acknowledgement, just nothing.

not pay respect to the original VedVyas ji who is the Author of this epic, and

this, nor am interested in Politics, nor care for who acknolwedges whom, but

mentioning this just because fingers were pointed at Shri Sahasne ji . If I am

not mistaken Shri Sunilji and Shri Shasneji have learnt KP from the same Guru

Hasbeji. pointing one finger at others means pointing 3 at ourselves, is what

made me write above.

Shri Sahasne in his books written many years ago, is what may not be common

adding another set of confusing rules to it and naming it " 4 Step " is not what I

am comfortable with. Shri Sahasne has made improvisations to KP in his books,

mentioned the areas where he feels further research must be done, accepted his

dissatisfactions in certain areas, but never claimed to be originator of any new

theories.

your translation in the Files Section where a 58 KB File on Fout Step theory

Rules are, put up. There are about 10 Ruless mentioned which themselves contain

many others within them. Understanding the English in any article is another

matter, understanding the rules is a seperate matter, and application of them is

again another junction. When to apply which rules is again confusing. This is my

personal opinion as I mentioned before.

Therefore to understand 4 step, knowledge of KP as given in KSK's Readers is

necessary.

There are very few rules which can be understood even by a beginner. In fact I

am very comfortable with 4 step theory.

Dear Friends,

 

Shri Tinwinji is one of the Experts and a senior astrologer whom I respect very

much along with the few others in this Group, keeping aside few times when I may

not agree with what they mention (this is irrelevant because its not necessary

for two to agree on some point always).

 

I need to know, and so must You all,

 

1)Who has established that the RP's are not reliable ? How do we know that those

who have established the RP's as unreliable, are themselves knowledgable or not

about the applications of the RP's part.

 

2) At times when a person is asking just about his marriage, then one may change

the 7th Cuspal SubLord if so required (To match with the RP's), but it may not

be necessary to change the TOB if the current problem is solved with just the

7th Cuspal SubLord being changed for the time being.(Please treat the same for

other problems and other Cusps too).Since the 1st Cusp is opposite the 7th, it

is but natural that if one changes the 7th Cusp, even the 1st gets altered, but

if the change of the 1st Cusp does not bring in any change to the pointers of

marriage, its not necessary to effect the change in writing, becaus eif one does

so, then the whole chart has to be observed in a new light, with all changes in

all 12 Cusps to be observed and matched with the hapennings , nature of events

and the timings of the events in the natives Life. Does any person coming to an

astrologer has so much time to wait or does he have any interest apart from his

temporary problem (When he will get married or how will his marriage be or

whatever Query related to marriage) and will he pay for the time spent by the

astrologer who should take at least two days to note, study and observe the

changes brought about and the effect on the 12 Cusps. So its normally practical

to answer the present Query, corraborate it with a Horary Chart and finish the

assignment on hand in the earliest time possible for comfort of both the

astrologer and the native.

 

3)But how can the retrogression not be working in the Horary Chart ? If a native

asks an query of whether he will get the particular job for which he has been

interviewed and if the 11th house Cuspal SubLord is placed in a retrograde star

Lord, how can this not be considered to be as not working ?

 

4)Pluto has been considered to be as a Non Planet. then why are we still

carrying this on our shoulders ? just because we like the term " Destruction and

regenegeration " associated to Pluto ? About the other extra terrestial planets

like Uranus and Neptune, mostky nobody has good words to say about this. They

talk only of adverse effects and that too related to on the Psychological

levels. What use are of these in day to day predictions for the material ? At

the most if connected to the 7th Cusp or Nearness to mercury or venus all they

will say is pervertedness or abnormal preferences . Is there any good left for

anybody to say except for predicting that so n so person will have Intuition

powers or great knowledge of the astral plane , on the positive side ?

 

5) The primary significators - understood will work . What about the secondary

significators ? Will they fold their hands and stand straight in attentions ?

 

who will answer the above satisfactorily ?

 

regards/Bhaskar.

Unfortunately it is found not working in many cases and the Sookshma is also to

Does it mean to take into consideration of secondary significators? (KPAstro 3.5

print-out shows only the primary significators, the only ones which are used to

be used.)

in saying that its Original and that no rules have been picked from any other

source. If it is not new then please mention the source and also acknowledgment

of the source, with due respect given to the source before we address ourself as

the originator. Another matter is that before a theory is propounded, then

please make it undersrandable to at least 70% of the members.  In an earlier

mail where reference was made by Shri Sunil ji, to Shri Sahasnejis books that he

has not written everything but written articles from his Guru Hasbe jis

magazines which Shri Sunil Gondhalekarji has admitted that Guruji has done the

editing, then I do not understand wheres

point fingers at anyone ? And why were you silent at that mail ? At least for

Rs. 300/- the students have got a millions Rupees worth of knowledge from his

books containing hundreds of examples and simple style of explaining the rules.

The photo of his Guruji has been put on his books, due respect has been given,

his Gurujis reference is made in almost every second Chapter. Do You see this in

Shri Suniljis book which I purchased from him for Rs.500- containg 40 pages of

large Fonts (Xerox Pages) written in a hurried manner, and absolute confused

depictions of the rules ? No reference to his Guruji, no respect , no

acknowledgement, just nothing.

concerend with all this, nor am interested in Politics, nor care for who

acknolwedges whom, but mentioning this just because fingers were pointed at Shri

Sahasne ji . If I am not mistaken Shri Sunilji and Shri Shasneji have learnt KP

from the same Guru Hasbeji. pointing one finger at others means pointing 3 at

ourselves, is what made me write above.

Shri Sahasne in his books written many years ago, is what may not be common

adding another set of confusing rules to it and naming it " 4 Step " is not what I

am comfortable with. Shri Sahasne has made improvisations to KP in his books,

mentioned the areas where he feels further research must be done, accepted his

dissatisfactions in certain areas, but never claimed to be originator of any new

theories.

your translation in the Files Section where a 58 KB File on Fout Step theory

Rules are, put up. There are about 10 Ruless mentioned which themselves contain

many others within them. Understanding the English in any article is another

matter, understanding the rules is a seperate matter, and application of them is

again another junction. When to apply which rules is again confusing. This is my

personal opinion as I mentioned before.

only adding and /or improvising some rules. Further the method of working out

signification of each planet is entirely different. To differentiate this aspect

from KP (and not get confused as KP) it was suitably titled as " 4 Step Theory " .

Therefore to understand 4 step, knowledge of KP as given in KSK's Readers is

necessary.

There are very few rules which can be understood even by a beginner. In fact I

am very comfortable with 4 step theory.

these were translated in Hindi and Gujrathi, I suppose. These books must be

without making it confusing " may not be of common knowledge? But if this is a

fact, then credit must go to him. Frankly speaking since I have not read his

books I cannot comment on this. But there must be many members in this forum who

have read his books, can throw some light on this.

Dear TW sir

 

Here I will like to explain the things according to my understanding so the reference is not possible.I may be bombarded by so many queries after this but I am still trying to write this and I know I am not a great astrologer

 

According to me, use of RPs and getting its help is individual blessing and opinion and it is not dependant of any method. It is a Divine force which helps the astrologer according his stars, sincerity and faith.

 

I always use RPs. Most of the time I found them very reliable in timing of event for selecting pratiantar dasha and sometime sukshma dasha also, when pratiantar dasha is a big period. Once u read any method, and u start believing it after getting satisfactory results, it is individual opinion how to get final answer by using additional available tools. Every body believes the method / procedure by which he is comfortable to get a correct/near correct answer. Nobody goes by 100% hard and fast rules as no sure method is there and all are yet theories. Once u believe any method/ theory, it is always better to go by err and learn method. It is not must to find sukshma dasha always as a rule. If Pratiantar dasha is a small period, one can see transit directly.

 

In 4step, DBAS/DBA must form a chain of all required houses for particular query. ***If chain is formed by DBA and u feel to select Suksma, then it should signify the needed houses. If u r going by RPs to select PD and SD, then select 2 planets (a & b) ( as we select during confirmation of lagna sub and subsub) and select the period with ur intuition which u feel most suitable. Intuition may not work with everybody in that case u can select 2 (a & b) period and in DBAS, with DB common and AS can be either a-b or b-a.

 

(*** exception to the rule is always there. Sometime required houses seems not forming complete chain in few cases and in such cases it is found that in  query of " job " , instead of chain of 2,6,10,11 only 1-10 or 1-11 houses worked to give a job. Also in case of marriage instead of 2,7,11 chain 2,7,5,8 or 5,7,8,11 etc worked to give marriage.) Observed in retrospective study.

 

Even during selecting the concerned cuspal sub lord, same formula of RP's help will work. It helps some astrologers and at sometimes not always and that is why our answers are wrong sometimes. According to me, as help of RPs is a Divine force so its help is dependant of many factor as written above. Also sometimes we sit for calculation without mood /with compulsion without sincerity and I think we may not get the help of RPs in such situation.( my views)

 

Retrogression during transit: Here we r pinpointing the exact point of happening the incidence.I feel retrogression will not deny but cause delays so that point will be automatically getting crossed/ delayed so we leave that particular transit of significator thru retrograde sub/star and go for next transit.But during horary and natal we r using retrogression for different purpose where delay will not refuse the matter and it has nothing to do with the exact point of happening where delays can refuse the matter.

 

RPs will answer for that particular cusp-in-query only. All sub are of different range and at what point the particular sub is falling we don't know. (we r not checking the subsub) So it not sure rectification by how much time to be done

 

According to me 4step is nothing to do with Uranus, Neptune & Pluto directly. It is Mr Sunil sir's additional research

 

We need to know both primary and secondary signification at once as a " Bird's eye view " . Sometimes it clicks the brain for certain things which can not be explained as it is individual finding. Also many times we select the Modish lord from secondary significator when primary is not available and one has to take the decision, is it justified to leave whole dasha for certain matters?( it is a different matter how to select)

 

Regards

Dr Sheetal

Dear Friends,In the 4 step theory, as the RPs may not be always helpful or reliable, they are not used in timing of event like in KP, and so the selection of DBA signifying each of required houses is applied as the advancement from KP. Unfortunately it is found not working in many cases and the Sookshma is also to be considered.

1. What would be the guideline to select the Sookshma with compared to the choice of Antara?2. If the RPs are not reliable, how would be dependable of checking and adjusting the concerned cuspal sub lord by using the RPs?

3. Is it reasonable not to change the TOB after changing the concerned cuspal sub lord? (only the rationale, please. Who said so to adjust and change another cuspal sub lord for another question is already known)

4. If the retrogression is not working in horary as well as natal, how would the transit check of dasa lords in the star or sub the planets in retrogression be working? 5. How it would be more correct prediction than KP by using Uranus, Neptune, Pluto in the idea of always conducive to adverse results, while the Western astrologers are trying for healing of adverse effects?

6. Why the primary and secondary are shown in the messages, although only the primary significators are shown in the English translated 4 step lecture notes? Does it mean to take into consideration of secondary significators? (KPAstro 3.5 print-out shows only the primary significators, the only ones which are used to be used.)

Thanks and regards,TW

Any new theories though derived from KP....such as Late Dr. Kar's Theory, K. Baskaran's theory etc are named differently to identify themselves from KP. 4 step theory is also one such theory. Can it be termed as KP just because you are not comfortable with naming it this way? //

>  > Shri Punit ji is right when he mentions that all new theories, improvisations and additions must be given a seperate name so as it is clearly understood by any new entrant to understand what is Original KP, and what is beyond KP. I have no issues here. But if its a new theory then please be genuine in saying that its Original and that no rules have been picked from any other source. If it is not new then please mention the source and also acknowledgment of the source, with due respect given to the source before we address ourself as the originator. Another matter is that before a theory is propounded, then please make it undersrandable to at least 70% of the members.  In an earlier mail where reference was made by Shri Sunil ji, to Shri Sahasnejis books that he has not written everything but written articles from his Guru Hasbe jis magazines which Shri Sunil Gondhalekarji has admitted that Guruji has done the editing, then I do not understand wheres > the problem if Guruji Hasbe has himself done the editing ? Why must we point fingers at anyone ? And why were you silent at that mail ? At least for Rs. 300/- the students have got a millions Rupees worth of knowledge from his books containing hundreds of examples and simple style of explaining the rules. The photo of his Guruji has been put on his books, due respect has been given, his Gurujis reference is made in almost every second Chapter. Do You see this in Shri Suniljis book which I purchased from him for Rs.500- containg 40 pages of large Fonts (Xerox Pages) written in a hurried manner, and absolute confused depictions of the rules ? No reference to his Guruji, no respect , no acknowledgement, just nothing.

> ( If the Pravchankaar depicting stories from the Ramayana to an audience,does not pay respect to the original VedVyas ji who is the Author of this epic, and acknowledge them, then how can he gain grace of His guru or the respect from the audience who is listening to his discourses ?) See I am not concerend with all this, nor am interested in Politics, nor care for who acknolwedges whom, but mentioning this just because fingers were pointed at Shri Sahasne ji . If I am not mistaken Shri Sunilji and Shri Shasneji have learnt KP from the same Guru Hasbeji. pointing one finger at others means pointing 3 at ourselves, is what made me write above.

Theres no question of anybody gaining from us, when they are present around with us. And we have still much left to learn from whatever they have presented to this generation. Now I will always give my comments if they are constructive and you may please answer them whenever they come - astrological doubts about 4 Step. And I assure you they will be constructive and asking for further learning , and not for derision or unnecessary criticism.

He is a very knowledgable man, and I have nothing personal against him, so please ignore the wrong signals if any. I just wish that everyone must be given his due respect as regards to the 4 Step theory for wehatver has been their contributions.

> > What is today known as 4 Step, most of the rules have already been used by Shri Sahasne in his books written many years ago, is what may not be common knowledge, is what I am tring to say Sir. Removing something from KP, then adding another set of confusing rules to it and naming it " 4 Step " is not what I am comfortable with. Shri Sahasne has made improvisations to KP in his books, mentioned the areas where he feels further research must be done, accepted his dissatisfactions in certain areas, but never claimed to be originator of any new theories.

> > If You have understood the 4 Step well, then you may be fortunate. Any improvisations if makes some sense and is not confusing to a student - Beginner or Advanced level student, is always welcome. I did not even understand properly your translation in the Files Section where a 58 KB File on Fout Step theory Rules are, put up. There are about 10 Ruless mentioned which themselves contain many others within them. Understanding the English in any article is another matter, understanding the rules is a seperate matter, and application of them is again another junction. When to apply which rules is again confusing. This is my personal opinion as I mentioned before.

Further the method of working out signification of each planet is entirely different. To differentiate this aspect from KP (and not get confused as KP) it was suitably titled as " 4 Step Theory " . Therefore to understand 4 step, knowledge of KP as given in KSK's Readers is necessary.

Then I fail to understand why the fact that " he used apparent presently Titled, 4 Step rules, very effectively in KP without making it confusing " may not be of common knowledge? But if this is a fact, then credit must go to him. Frankly speaking since I have not read his books I cannot comment on this. But there must be many members in this forum who have read his books, can throw some light on this.

Nobody goes by 100% hard and fast rules as no sure method is there and all are yet theories. Once u believe any method/ theory, it is always better to go by err and learn method. It is not must to find sukshma dasha always as a rule. If Pratiantar dasha is a small period, one can see transit directly.

 

In 4step, DBAS/DBA must form a chain of all required houses for particular query. ***If chain is formed by DBA and u feel to select Suksma, then it should signify the needed houses. If u r going by RPs to select PD and SD, then select 2 planets (a & b) ( as we select during confirmation of lagna sub and subsub) and select the period with ur intuition which u feel most suitable. Intuition may not work with everybody in that case u can select 2 (a & b) period and in DBAS, with DB common and AS can be either a-b or b-a.

 

(*** exception to the rule is always there. Sometime required houses seems not forming complete chain in few cases and in such cases it is found that in  query of " job " , instead of chain of 2,6,10,11 only 1-10 or 1-11 houses worked to give a job. Also in case of marriage instead of 2,7,11 chain 2,7,5,8 or 5,7,8,11 etc worked to give marriage.) Observed in retrospective study.

 

Even during selecting the concerned cuspal sub lord, same formula of RP's help will work. It helps some astrologers and at sometimes not always and that is why our answers are wrong sometimes. According to me, as help of RPs is a Divine force so its help is dependant of many factor as written above. Also sometimes we sit for calculation without mood /with compulsion without sincerity and I think we may not get the help of RPs in such situation.( my views)

 

Retrogression during transit: Here we r pinpointing the exact point of happening the incidence.I feel retrogression will not deny but cause delays so that point will be automatically getting crossed/ delayed so we leave that particular transit of significator thru retrograde sub/star and go for next transit.But during horary and natal we r using retrogression for different purpose where delay will not refuse the matter and it has nothing to do with the exact point of happening where delays can refuse the matter.

 

RPs will answer for that particular cusp-in-query only. All sub are of different range and at what point the particular sub is falling we don't know. (we r not checking the subsub) So it not sure rectification by how much time to be done

 

According to me 4step is nothing to do with Uranus, Neptune & Pluto directly. It is Mr Sunil sir's additional research

 

We need to know both primary and secondary signification at once as a " Bird's eye view " . Sometimes it clicks the brain for certain things which can not be explained as it is individual finding. Also many times we select the Modish lord from secondary significator when primary is not available and one has to take the decision, is it justified to leave whole dasha for certain matters?( it is a different matter how to select)

Dear Friends,In the 4 step theory, as the RPs may not be always helpful or reliable, they are not used in timing of event like in KP, and so the selection of DBA signifying each of required houses is applied as the advancement from KP. Unfortunately it is found not working in many cases and the Sookshma is also to be considered.

1. What would be the guideline to select the Sookshma with compared to the choice of Antara?2. If the RPs are not reliable, how would be dependable of checking and adjusting the concerned cuspal sub lord by using the RPs?

3. Is it reasonable not to change the TOB after changing the concerned cuspal sub lord? (only the rationale, please. Who said so to adjust and change another cuspal sub lord for another question is already known)

4. If the retrogression is not working in horary as well as natal, how would the transit check of dasa lords in the star or sub the planets in retrogression be working? 5. How it would be more correct prediction than KP by using Uranus, Neptune, Pluto in the idea of always conducive to adverse results, while the Western astrologers are trying for healing of adverse effects?

6. Why the primary and secondary are shown in the messages, although only the primary significators are shown in the English translated 4 step lecture notes? Does it mean to take into consideration of secondary significators? (KPAstro 3.5 print-out shows only the primary significators, the only ones which are used to be used.)

>  > Shri Punit ji is right when he mentions that all new theories, improvisations and additions must be given a seperate name so as it is clearly understood by any new entrant to understand what is Original KP, and what is beyond KP. I have no issues here. But if its a new theory then please be genuine in saying that its Original and that no rules have been picked from any other source. If it is not new then please mention the source and also acknowledgment of the source, with due respect given to the source before we address ourself as the originator. Another matter is that before a theory is propounded, then please make it undersrandable to at least 70% of the members.  In an earlier mail where reference was made by Shri Sunil ji, to Shri Sahasnejis books that he has not written everything but written articles from his Guru Hasbe jis magazines which Shri Sunil Gondhalekarji has admitted that Guruji has done the editing, then I do not understand wheres > the problem if Guruji Hasbe has himself done the editing ? Why must we point fingers at anyone ? And why were you silent at that mail ? At least for Rs. 300/- the students have got a millions Rupees worth of knowledge from his books containing hundreds of examples and simple style of explaining the rules. The photo of his Guruji has been put on his books, due respect has been given, his Gurujis reference is made in almost every second Chapter. Do You see this in Shri Suniljis book which I purchased from him for Rs.500- containg 40 pages of large Fonts (Xerox Pages) written in a hurried manner, and absolute confused depictions of the rules ? No reference to his Guruji, no respect , no acknowledgement, just nothing.

> ( If the Pravchankaar depicting stories from the Ramayana to an audience,does not pay respect to the original VedVyas ji who is the Author of this epic, and acknowledge them, then how can he gain grace of His guru or the respect from the audience who is listening to his discourses ?) See I am not concerend with all this, nor am interested in Politics, nor care for who acknolwedges whom, but mentioning this just because fingers were pointed at Shri Sahasne ji . If I am not mistaken Shri Sunilji and Shri Shasneji have learnt KP from the same Guru Hasbeji. pointing one finger at others means pointing 3 at ourselves, is what made me write above.

> > What is today known as 4 Step, most of the rules have already been used by Shri Sahasne in his books written many years ago, is what may not be common knowledge, is what I am tring to say Sir. Removing something from KP, then adding another set of confusing rules to it and naming it " 4 Step " is not what I am comfortable with. Shri Sahasne has made improvisations to KP in his books, mentioned the areas where he feels further research must be done, accepted his dissatisfactions in certain areas, but never claimed to be originator of any new theories.

> > If You have understood the 4 Step well, then you may be fortunate. Any improvisations if makes some sense and is not confusing to a student - Beginner or Advanced level student, is always welcome. I did not even understand properly your translation in the Files Section where a 58 KB File on Fout Step theory Rules are, put up. There are about 10 Ruless mentioned which themselves contain many others within them. Understanding the English in any article is another matter, understanding the rules is a seperate matter, and application of them is again another junction. When to apply which rules is again confusing. This is my personal opinion as I mentioned before.

Further the method of working out signification of each planet is entirely different. To differentiate this aspect from KP (and not get confused as KP) it was suitably titled as " 4 Step Theory " . Therefore to understand 4 step, knowledge of KP as given in KSK's Readers is necessary.

But if this is a fact, then credit must go to him. Frankly speaking since I have not read his books I cannot comment on this.

Dear Sheetal ji,

 

Thank you for your reply. Let me wait and see whether the 4 step authority Sunil

ji agrees with your response as his own like many times before.

 

Thanks and regards,

Dear Friends,

 

Thanks for response to the questions.

Let us wait and see the response from the authority Sunil ji of 4 step theory

and capable 4 step practitioners, as the questions are related to the 4 step

theory according to the English translated 4 step xeros copy lecture notes and 4

step messages posted by Sunil ji and capable 4 step practitioners like Sheetal

ji, Subhash ji etc in the two KP groups.

 

Thanks and regards,

TW

may not be necessary to change the TOB if the current problem is solved with

just the 7th Cuspal SubLord being changed for the time being.(Please treat the

same for other problems and other Cusps too).Since the 1st Cusp is opposite the

7th, it is but natural that if one changes the 7th Cusp, even the 1st gets

altered, but if the change of the 1st Cusp does not bring in any change to the

pointers of marriage, its not necessary to effect the change in writing, becaus

eif one does so, then the whole chart has to be observed in a new light, with

all changes in all 12 Cusps to be observed and matched with the hapennings ,

nature of events and the timings of the events in the natives Life. Does any

person coming to an astrologer has so much time to wait or does he have any

interest apart from his temporary problem (When he will get married or how will

his marriage be or whatever Query related to marriage) and will he pay for the

time spent by the astrologer who should take at least two days to note, study

and observe the changes brought about and the effect on the 12 Cusps. So its

normally practical to answer the present Query, corraborate it with a Horary

Chart and finish the assignment on hand in the earliest time possible for

comfort of both the astrologer and the native.

native asks an query of whether he will get the particular job for which he has

been interviewed and if the 11th house Cuspal SubLord is placed in a retrograde

star Lord, how can this not be considered to be as not working ?

carrying this on our shoulders ? just because we like the term " Destruction and

regenegeration " associated to Pluto ? About the other extra terrestial planets

like Uranus and Neptune, mostky nobody has good words to say about this. They

talk only of adverse effects and that too related to on the Psychological

levels. What use are of these in day to day predictions for the material ? At

the most if connected to the 7th Cusp or Nearness to mercury or venus all they

will say is pervertedness or abnormal preferences . Is there any good left for

anybody to say except for predicting that so n so person will have Intuition

powers or great knowledge of the astral plane , on the positive side ?

in saying that its Original and that no rules have been picked from any other

of the source, with due respect given to the source before we address ourself as

the originator. Another matter is that before a theory is propounded, then

please make it undersrandable to at least 70% of the members.  In an earlier

mail where reference was made by Shri Sunil ji, to Shri Sahasnejis books that he

has not written everything but written articles from his Guru Hasbe jis

magazines which Shri Sunil Gondhalekarji has admitted that Guruji has done the

editing, then I do not understand wheres

point fingers at anyone ? And why were you silent at that mail ? At least for

Rs. 300/- the students have got a millions Rupees worth of knowledge from his

books containing hundreds of examples and simple style of explaining the rules.

The photo of his Guruji has been put on his books, due respect has been given,

his Gurujis reference is made in almost every second Chapter. Do You see this in

Shri Suniljis book which I purchased from him for Rs.500- containg 40 pages of

large Fonts (Xerox Pages) written in a hurried manner, and absolute confused

depictions of the rules ? No reference to his Guruji, no respect , no

acknowledgement, just nothing.

concerend with all this, nor am interested in Politics, nor care for who

acknolwedges whom, but mentioning this just because fingers were pointed at Shri

Sahasne ji . If I am not mistaken Shri Sunilji and Shri Shasneji have learnt KP

from the same Guru Hasbeji. pointing one finger at others means pointing 3 at

ourselves, is what made me write above.

Your allegation that these rules are already used by Mr. Shahasane ji seems to

be baseless if you say you did not understand the rules at all.

adding another set of confusing rules to it and naming it " 4 Step " is not what I

am comfortable with. Shri Sahasne has made improvisations to KP in his books,

mentioned the areas where he feels further research must be done, accepted his

dissatisfactions in certain areas, but never claimed to be originator of any new

theories.

your translation in the Files Section where a 58 KB File on Fout Step theory

Rules are, put up. There are about 10 Ruless mentioned which themselves contain

many others within them. Understanding the English in any article is another

matter, understanding the rules is a seperate matter, and application of them is

again another junction. When to apply which rules is again confusing. This is my

personal opinion as I mentioned before.

only adding and /or improvising some rules. Further the method of working out

signification of each planet is entirely different. To differentiate this aspect

Therefore to understand 4 step, knowledge of KP as given in KSK's Readers is

necessary.

Shri Sahasne in his books written many years ago, is what may not be common

adding another set of confusing rules to it and naming it " 4 Step " is not what I

am comfortable with. Shri Sahasne has made improvisations to KP in his books,

mentioned the areas where he feels further research must be done, accepted his

dissatisfactions in certain areas, but never claimed to be originator of any new

theories.

your translation in the Files Section where a 58 KB File on Fout Step theory

Rules are, put up. There are about 10 Ruless mentioned which themselves contain

many others within them. Understanding the English in any article is another

matter, understanding the rules is a seperate matter, and application of them is

again another junction. When to apply which rules is again confusing. This is my

personal opinion as I mentioned before.

only adding and /or improvising some rules. Further the method of working out

Therefore to understand 4 step, knowledge of KP as given in KSK's Readers is

necessary.

There are very few rules which can be understood even by a beginner. In fact I

its Original and that no rules have been picked from any other source. If it is

not new then please mention the source and also acknowledgment of the source,

with due respect given to the source before we address ourself as the

originator. Another matter is that before a theory is propounded, then please

make it undersrandable to at least 70% of the members.  In an earlier mail

where reference was made by Shri Sunil ji, to Shri Sahasnejis books that he has

not written everything but written articles from his Guru Hasbe jis magazines

which Shri Sunil Gondhalekarji has admitted that Guruji has done the editing,

then I do not understand wheres

> the problem if Guruji Hasbe has himself done the editing ? Why must we point

fingers at anyone ? And why were you silent at that mail ? At least for Rs.

300/- the students have got a millions Rupees worth of knowledge from his books

containing hundreds of examples and simple style of explaining the rules. The

photo of his Guruji has been put on his books, due respect has been given, his

Gurujis reference is made in almost every second Chapter. Do You see this in

Shri Suniljis book which I purchased from him for Rs.500- containg 40 pages of

large Fonts (Xerox Pages) written in a hurried manner, and absolute confused

depictions of the rules ? No reference to his Guruji, no respect , no

acknowledgement, just nothing.

not pay respect to the original VedVyas ji who is the Author of this epic, and

acknowledge them, then how can he gain grace of His guru or the respect from the

audience who is listening to his discourses ?) See I am not concerend with all

this, nor am interested in Politics, nor care for who acknolwedges whom, but

mentioning this just because fingers were pointed at Shri Sahasne ji . If I am

not mistaken Shri Sunilji and Shri Shasneji have learnt KP from the same Guru

Hasbeji. pointing one finger at others means pointing 3 at ourselves, is what

made me write above.

your translation in the Files Section where a 58 KB File on Fout Step theory

Rules are, put up. There are about 10 Ruless mentioned which themselves contain

many others within them. Understanding the English in any article is another

matter, understanding the rules is a seperate matter, and application of them is

again another junction. When to apply which rules is again confusing. This is my

personal opinion as I mentioned before.

Therefore to understand 4 step, knowledge of KP as given in KSK's Readers is

There are very few rules which can be understood even by a beginner. In fact I

am very comfortable with 4 step theory.

dear Sirs,

 

I have no intentions to create any new theory. To understand the available

theories properly also, will take few Life times. So rest assured I am not

climbing anywhere. If I dont climb then there is no fear of any fall.

 

Please always bless us students so that we learn from you seniors and

maintain the respect of whatever learning comes from You.

 

best wishes and regards,

Bhaskar.

in saying that its Original and that no rules have been picked from any other

source. If it is not new then please mention the source and also acknowledgment

of the source, with due respect given to the source before we address ourself as

the originator. Another matter is that before a theory is propounded, then

please make it undersrandable to at least 70% of the members.  In an earlier

mail where reference was made by Shri Sunil ji, to Shri Sahasnejis books that he

has not written everything but written articles from his Guru Hasbe jis

magazines which Shri Sunil Gondhalekarji has admitted that Guruji has done the

editing, then I do not understand wheres

point fingers at anyone ? And why were you silent at that mail ? At least for

Rs. 300/- the students have got a millions Rupees worth of knowledge from his

books containing hundreds of examples and simple style of explaining the rules.

The photo of his Guruji has been put on his books, due respect has been given,

his Gurujis reference is made in almost every second Chapter. Do You see this in

Shri Suniljis book which I purchased from him for Rs.500- containg 40 pages of

large Fonts (Xerox Pages) written in a hurried manner, and absolute confused

depictions of the rules ? No reference to his Guruji, no respect , no

acknowledgement, just nothing.

audience,does not pay respect to the original VedVyas ji who is the Author of

this epic, and acknowledge them, then how can he gain grace of His guru or the

respect from the audience who is listening to his discourses ?) See I am not

concerend with all this, nor am interested in Politics, nor care for who

acknolwedges whom, but mentioning this just because fingers were pointed at Shri

Sahasne ji . If I am not mistaken Shri Sunilji and Shri Shasneji have learnt KP

from the same Guru Hasbeji. pointing one finger at others means pointing 3 at

ourselves, is what made me write above.

adding another set of confusing rules to it and naming it " 4 Step " is not what I

am comfortable with. Shri Sahasne has made improvisations to KP in his books,

mentioned the areas where he feels further research must be done, accepted his

dissatisfactions in certain areas, but never claimed to be originator of any new

theories.

Dear Sunil Gondhalekar ji,

 

1. No yet answered anywhere in the English translated 4 step lecture notes and

the two KP groups here and there.

2. That is why I've taken this opportunity of announcing 100% response to raise

these questions for the benefit of 4 step lovers.

3. If it is not desirable to answer, it would not be nice to insist for answers.

Anyway thank you for your response without any answer.

 

Thanks and regards,

TW

in saying that its Original and that no rules have been picked from any other

source. If it is not new then please mention the source and also acknowledgment

of the source, with due respect given to the source before we address ourself as

the originator. Another matter is that before a theory is propounded, then

please make it undersrandable to at least 70% of the members.  In an earlier

mail where reference was made by Shri Sunil ji, to Shri Sahasnejis books that he

has not written everything but written articles from his Guru Hasbe jis

magazines which Shri Sunil Gondhalekarji has admitted that Guruji has done the

editing, then I do not understand wheres

> > > the problem if Guruji Hasbe has himself done the editing ? Why must we

point fingers at anyone ? And why were you silent at that mail ? At least for

Rs. 300/- the students have got a millions Rupees worth of knowledge from his

books containing hundreds of examples and simple style of explaining the rules.

The photo of his Guruji has been put on his books, due respect has been given,

his Gurujis reference is made in almost every second Chapter. Do You see this in

Shri Suniljis book which I purchased from him for Rs.500- containg 40 pages of

large Fonts (Xerox Pages) written in a hurried manner, and absolute confused

depictions of the rules ? No reference to his Guruji, no respect , no

acknowledgement, just nothing.

> > > ( If the Pravchankaar depicting stories from the Ramayana to an

audience,does not pay respect to the original VedVyas ji who is the Author of

this epic, and acknowledge them, then how can he gain grace of His guru or the

respect from the audience who is listening to his discourses ?) See I am not

concerend with all this, nor am interested in Politics, nor care for who

acknolwedges whom, but mentioning this just because fingers were pointed at Shri

Sahasne ji . If I am not mistaken Shri Sunilji and Shri Shasneji have learnt KP

from the same Guru Hasbeji. pointing one finger at others means pointing 3 at

ourselves, is what made me write above.

Your allegation that these rules are already used by Mr. Shahasane ji seems to

be baseless if you say you did not understand the rules at all.

adding another set of confusing rules to it and naming it " 4 Step " is not what I

am comfortable with. Shri Sahasne has made improvisations to KP in his books,

mentioned the areas where he feels further research must be done, accepted his

dissatisfactions in certain areas, but never claimed to be originator of any new

theories.

or Advanced level student, is always welcome. I did not even understand properly

your translation in the Files Section where a 58 KB File on Fout Step theory

Rules are, put up. There are about 10 Ruless mentioned which themselves contain

many others within them. Understanding the English in any article is another

matter, understanding the rules is a seperate matter, and application of them is

again another junction. When to apply which rules is again confusing. This is my

personal opinion as I mentioned before.

only adding and /or improvising some rules. Further the method of working out

signification of each planet is entirely different. To differentiate this aspect

from KP (and not get confused as KP) it was suitably titled as " 4 Step Theory " .

Therefore to understand 4 step, knowledge of KP as given in KSK's Readers is

necessary.

In fact I am very comfortable with 4 step theory.

without making it confusing " may not be of common knowledge? But if this is a

fact, then credit must go to him. Frankly speaking since I have not read his

books I cannot comment on this. But there must be many members in this forum who

have read his books, can throw some light on this.

Dear Friends,

As the original questions are related to the 4 step and the inventor Sunil ji

doesn't want to answer, no comment on the counter queries, sorry for that.

Thanks and regards,

TW

just the 7th Cuspal SubLord being changed for the time being.(Please treat the

same for other problems and other Cusps too).Since the 1st Cusp is opposite the

7th, it is but natural that if one changes the 7th Cusp, even the 1st gets

altered, but if the change of the 1st Cusp does not bring in any change to the

pointers of marriage, its not necessary to effect the change in writing, becaus

eif one does so, then the whole chart has to be observed in a new light, with

all changes in all 12 Cusps to be observed and matched with the hapennings ,

nature of events and the timings of the events in the natives Life. Does any

person coming to an astrologer has so much time to wait or does he have any

interest apart from his temporary problem (When he will get married or how will

his marriage be or whatever Query related to marriage) and will he pay for the

time spent by the astrologer who should take at least two days to note, study

and observe the changes brought about and the effect on the 12 Cusps. So its

normally practical to answer the present Query, corraborate it with a Horary

Chart and finish the assignment on hand in the earliest time possible for

comfort of both the astrologer and the native.

in saying that its Original and that no rules have been picked from any other

source. If it is not new then please mention the source and also acknowledgment

of the source, with due respect given to the source before we address ourself as

the originator. Another matter is that before a theory is propounded, then

please make it undersrandable to at least 70% of the members.  In an earlier

mail where reference was made by Shri Sunil ji, to Shri Sahasnejis books that he

has not written everything but written articles from his Guru Hasbe jis

magazines which Shri Sunil Gondhalekarji has admitted that Guruji has done the

editing, then I do not understand wheres

> > > > the problem if Guruji Hasbe has himself done the editing ? Why must we

point fingers at anyone ? And why were you silent at that mail ? At least for

Rs. 300/- the students have got a millions Rupees worth of knowledge from his

books containing hundreds of examples and simple style of explaining the rules.

The photo of his Guruji has been put on his books, due respect has been given,

his Gurujis reference is made in almost every second Chapter. Do You see this in

Shri Suniljis book which I purchased from him for Rs.500- containg 40 pages of

large Fonts (Xerox Pages) written in a hurried manner, and absolute confused

depictions of the rules ? No reference to his Guruji, no respect , no

acknowledgement, just nothing.

concerend with all this, nor am interested in Politics, nor care for who

acknolwedges whom, but mentioning this just because fingers were pointed at Shri

Sahasne ji . If I am not mistaken Shri Sunilji and Shri Shasneji have learnt KP

from the same Guru Hasbeji. pointing one finger at others means pointing 3 at

ourselves, is what made me write above.

Your allegation that these rules are already used by Mr. Shahasane ji seems to

be baseless if you say you did not understand the rules at all.

what I am comfortable with. Shri Sahasne has made improvisations to KP in his

books, mentioned the areas where he feels further research must be done,

accepted his dissatisfactions in certain areas, but never claimed to be

originator of any new theories.

your translation in the Files Section where a 58 KB File on Fout Step theory

Rules are, put up. There are about 10 Ruless mentioned which themselves contain

many others within them. Understanding the English in any article is another

matter, understanding the rules is a seperate matter, and application of them is

again another junction. When to apply which rules is again confusing. This is my

personal opinion as I mentioned before.

only adding and /or improvising some rules. Further the method of working out

signification of each planet is entirely different. To differentiate this aspect

from KP (and not get confused as KP) it was suitably titled as " 4 Step Theory " .

Therefore to understand 4 step, knowledge of KP as given in KSK's Readers is

necessary.

In fact I am very comfortable with 4 step theory.

and these were translated in Hindi and Gujrathi, I suppose. These books must be

widely used by many KP astrologers. Then I fail to understand why the fact

that " he used apparent presently Titled, 4 Step rules, very effectively in KP

without making it confusing " may not be of common knowledge? But if this is a

fact, then credit must go to him. Frankly speaking since I have not read his

books I cannot comment on this. But there must be many members in this forum who

have read his books, can throw some light on this.

Dear Tw ji

 

Whatever I know about 4step, I learned from Sunil sir only. I am his 4step-student and if I am wrong he will correct me. Because of different  views of different astrologers there are so many controversies, discussions and further researches in kp forum. So u should not think that I am a blind follower of any method. I am studing kp since 1992 and 4step since 2002, so don't u think I have also my personal views about astrology? Though I follow 4step with positive attitude with full faith in it, also I am a follower of KP and according to me 4step is a extension of KP only, as 4step is nothing without KP. I like to follow Mr Bhatt also. I have my personal views about when and which rule of kp or 4step is to be applied to get a correct answer.  

 

Regards

Dr Sheetal

Dear Sheetal ji,

1. It is not only up to You but also any member of this group to have his or her

view, opinion, to learn from anyone, to apply any system or multi-system by

mentioning the name of other system applied to make it clear. I haven't never

ever said against this free choice in this KP group.

2. I say and discuss KP and 4 step etc with facts, figures and specifically

provided references; for 4 step theory according to the English translated 4

step lecture notes, inventor and authority Sunil ji's own postings in the two KP

groups, his approved postings like yours before, his English translated articles

whatever avilable, and 4 step postings and articles of the 4 step English

translater and promoter late Shri Raichur, without tanking his views which are

different from Sunil ji.

3. The following article in the File section is about the difference between KP

and 4 Step:

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN KPAND FOUR STEP METHOD.doc

DIFFRENCES BETWEEN KP & 4 STEP

Thanks and regards,

TW

dear sheetal madam,

thanks for the reply.

 

1.i dont take RP for selecting sooksma dasa but

i advise to take RP in case if it is needed.RP are

to be treated as " in case of emengency " level.

 

2.regarding uranus,neptune,pluto..now they are

counted in the study of 4 step theory.in my previous

edition(1996)it was not included but in recent edition

the study is added.the cases are already given in

magazine also.

thanks

dear members,

 

following are the clarifications about 4 step theory

 

1.there is no fixed rule to select Sookshma as it depends

on chart to chart and the time of judgement..but mostly

Sookshma is selected for max.houses or for the remaining

house reqd in chain.

 

2.confirming of cuspal sublord by RP is as per guidelines

given by KSK in his 3rd reader.

 

3.the method of confirming cuspal sublord for relevant

house was used by late Hasbe guruji and it was his

practice which i have seen many times.He also was not

changing the birth time.

 

4.retro theory doesnt work in horary is experienced by

many astrologers.there are many examples for this.anyone

can refer the articles on this subject in my Diwali-2009

magazine on page no.46 and 69.

whereas this fits in transit which is also experienced

by 4 step followers..the success rate is again a debatable

issue and i dont want to enter in it.

 

5.about uranus,neptune,pluto is research done by me since

last 7-8 years and found to give correct results.mr.shyam

from pune is realising this factor.he was put his query

in forum 2-3 months back.i have experincing the results

and published in my magazine and now followers are also

looking at these planets and realising the effects.pl.refer

article in diwali issue page no.33 and 57 and 55.

 

6.only primary houses offers the result as per 4 step theory

guidelines.sw designer kept both the options free for research

purpose.

 

last and important, i have joined the group to share my experiece

and not for prooving my theory nor to promote the sale of my book.

thanks

Unfortunately it is found not working in many cases and the Sookshma is also to

be considered.

Does it mean to take into consideration of secondary significators? (KPAstro 3.5

be used.)

in saying that its Original and that no rules have been picked from any other

source. If it is not new then please mention the source and also acknowledgment

of the source, with due respect given to the source before we address ourself as

the originator. Another matter is that before a theory is propounded, then

please make it undersrandable to at least 70% of the members.  In an earlier

mail where reference was made by Shri Sunil ji, to Shri Sahasnejis books that he

has not written everything but written articles from his Guru Hasbe jis

magazines which Shri Sunil Gondhalekarji has admitted that Guruji has done the

editing, then I do not understand wheres

point fingers at anyone ? And why were you silent at that mail ? At least for

Rs. 300/- the students have got a millions Rupees worth of knowledge from his

books containing hundreds of examples and simple style of explaining the rules.

The photo of his Guruji has been put on his books, due respect has been given,

his Gurujis reference is made in almost every second Chapter. Do You see this in

Shri Suniljis book which I purchased from him for Rs.500- containg 40 pages of

large Fonts (Xerox Pages) written in a hurried manner, and absolute confused

depictions of the rules ? No reference to his Guruji, no respect , no

acknowledgement, just nothing.

concerend with all this, nor am interested in Politics, nor care for who

acknolwedges whom, but mentioning this just because fingers were pointed at Shri

Sahasne ji . If I am not mistaken Shri Sunilji and Shri Shasneji have learnt KP

from the same Guru Hasbeji. pointing one finger at others means pointing 3 at

ourselves, is what made me write above.

Shri Sahasne in his books written many years ago, is what may not be common

adding another set of confusing rules to it and naming it " 4 Step " is not what I

am comfortable with. Shri Sahasne has made improvisations to KP in his books,

mentioned the areas where he feels further research must be done, accepted his

dissatisfactions in certain areas, but never claimed to be originator of any new

theories.

your translation in the Files Section where a 58 KB File on Fout Step theory

Rules are, put up. There are about 10 Ruless mentioned which themselves contain

many others within them. Understanding the English in any article is another

matter, understanding the rules is a seperate matter, and application of them is

again another junction. When to apply which rules is again confusing. This is my

personal opinion as I mentioned before.

only adding and /or improvising some rules. Further the method of working out

Therefore to understand 4 step, knowledge of KP as given in KSK's Readers is

necessary.

There are very few rules which can be understood even by a beginner. In fact I

am very comfortable with 4 step theory.

these were translated in Hindi and Gujrathi, I suppose. These books must be

without making it confusing " may not be of common knowledge? But if this is a

fact, then credit must go to him. Frankly speaking since I have not read his

books I cannot comment on this. But there must be many members in this forum who

have read his books, can throw some light on this.

Bhaskar <bhaskar_jyotish Sent: Tue, 22 December, 2009 1:17:18 PM Re: Which system is better. The KP or the 4 Step ?

Dear Shrikant ji,Right.I had asked a similiar question to the members here 2 years ago, aboutwhat must Rahu consider to signify (My own horoscope) if Rahu is in itsown sub. they did not have any answer for this. Then I explained them,what Shri Sahasneji has taught me, and it fills in correctly afterhaving undergone 2 years of Rahu Mahadasha. (We have to move to the subsub Lord now in such cases, and in my case it was Budh, and since noplanet in star of Budh, Shri Sahasneji explained me personally that rahuwill now become a first class significator for Budh who is lord of 2ndand 11th in My chart - Leo ascendant, and that rahu mahadasha will bethe best for you in terms of material )I also asked them what would happen if two planets are conjunct in samedegrees and in same Sub. and if they are running Mahadashas one afterthe other, then what will be the difference in their Mahadasha

results,since the Sub is the same for both mahadasha Lords. Again no answer wasforthcoming from the learned astrologers here. Then I cited a referencefrom Shri Chandrakant bhatts book where it is clearly mentioned that ifRaashi Lord, StarLord, Sublord is same for the two planets, then theplanet which has a subsublord signifying the benefic houses will happento be a better mahadasha.This brought some disaapointment to me when I could find no Learnedmembers here could reply to my two queries above and an ordinary studentand astrologer like me could give the answer due to the grace of hisGuru. I decided to spend less time on the Forum, and concentrate more onwhat could be learnt further.Sorry, if anyone finds any thing irrelevant here.regards,Bhaskar.@gro ups.com, j shrikant <shrikantjin@ ...> wrote:>> dear subhashji,>              Â       Late shri. suresh shahasane was abrilliant kp astrologer.his contribution in training kp> students was great.He conducted for 3 years kp astrology conferancesfor which I was witness.> I was a participant .He encouraged new students in prediction.hisastrology conferances were> directly explanation of 60 horoscopes,in 3days.he advocated planetsignification a simple way> to analyse horoscope.he was a critic of 4 step theory.In his bookjyotishveda in marathi ,he criticised> this method illustrating examples in support of it.>        he said if planet is in its ownstar and also sub how you are going to write your four steps?> According his

Dear Tw ji and Sunil ji

 

1.It was my misunderstanding as I thought if I write a thesis on one topic and simultaneously doing paper work on another topic, the other topic has no specific relation with thesis work so it is a part of general research work. Also I dont see for Uranus, Neptune and Pluto as I dont have its experience.

 

2.I also take Dasha,Bhukti,Antara  to make chain and if chain is not formed with Antara then I take Sukshma to make the chain.If the chain is formed with Antara and if Antara is a big period ( Shukra, shani etc) then I also select Sukshma. Then see the transit. During selection of Antara and Sukshma, whenever in-doubt (in case more than 2-3 planets capable of forming the chain then what to select?), in that case I always use RP and select Antara and if required Sukshma. in my practice I found RPs giving very good result so I am using them very regularly.

 

Regards

Dr Sheetal

signification of each planet is entirely different. To differentiate this aspect

from KP (and not get confused as KP) it was suitably titled as " 4 Step Theory " .

Therefore to understand 4 step, knowledge of KP as given in KSK's Readers is

necessary.

There are very few rules which can be understood even by a beginner. In fact I

am very comfortable with 4 step theory.

fact, then credit must go to him. Frankly speaking since I have not read his

books I cannot comment on this. But there must be many members in this forum who

have read his books, can throw some light on this.

dear sunil gondhalekar,

 

> 1.there is no fixed rule to select Sookshma

 

in 4 step theory the chain is completed in DBA only but to find more closer

period sokshma is considered.

 

> 2.confirming of cuspal sublord by RP is as per guidelines > given by KSK in

his 3rd reader.

 

It may have been noticed , that ruling planets depend, on place, time, date of

studying the chart. There is very possibilities that these will change , when

same chart is studies by number of astrologers at different places and time.

Then how are you going overcome this plausible error in using ruling planets?

You will be taught how to fix the time of an event without using ruling planets.

-English translated 4 step lecture nptes page 2

 

the main essence of this theory is to judge the events without help of RP. i

have never denied the efficacy of RP ,but my experiece says that RP will not

support to everybody at everytime.

 

1.i dont take RP for selecting sooksma dasa but i advise to take RP in case if

it is needed.RP are to be treated as " in case of emengency " level.

 

Q 1: could you kindly clarify how the above can be reconciled?

 

 

 

3.the method of confirming cuspal sublord for relevant house was used by late

Hasbe guruji and it was his practice which i have seen many times.He also was

not changing the birth time.

 

i have seen him to confirm cuspal sublord first and then only he gives

prediction,but he never recast the horoscope.when i queried him about this then

he told me that it is not necessary to recast horoscope because when we judge

the other matter of the same native then again we will confirm the related

cuspal sublord. thats why i also dont recast the horoscope again.

 

Q.2: would it not mean using the different TOBs for different matters for the

'same natal' chart?

 

 

 

4.retro theory doesnt work in horary is experienced by many astrologers.there

are many examples for this.anyone can refer the articles on this subject in my

Diwali-2009 magazine on page no.46 and 69. whereas this fits in transit which is

also experienced by 4 step followers..the success rate is again a debatable

issue and i dont want to enter in it.

 

more importance is given for retrograde planet in horary by our KSK

but my eperience is that we are not getting results out of this theory

regarding this retrograde planets,i used to discuss this matter with our

guruji,late jyotindra hasbe.he told me the theory is under observation i dont

use this theory in my 4 step but this is used only when we check transit of DBA

swami.

 

i dont consider it (retrograde planet) in natal as well as horary but i consider

retrograde planets effects in considering transit of DBA swami.

 

the retrogression results are to be seen in transit planets and not in natal

planets.

 

 

 

Q.3: it is better view that retrogression in horary is not yet conclusie. it is

still in the process of collecting horary cases including from the old A & As.

What I'm really wondering is what would be the rationale to apply the

retrogression in considering transit of DBA swami, if you are not getting

results out of this theory?

 

 

 

5. about uranus,neptune,pluto..now they are

counted in the study of 4 step theory.in my previous

edition(1996)it was not included but in recent edition

the study is added.the cases are already given in

magazine also.

 

Q.4: have you found any rule for Pluto to give any kind of positive result?

because up to now what has been fond is only negative results.

 

 

 

6.only primary houses offers the result as per 4 step theory

guidelines.sw designer kept both the options free for research

purpose.

 

ONLY THE STRONG (OR PRINCIPLE) SIGNIFIERS ARE CAPABLE OF GIVING THE RESULTS. THE

SECONDARY SIGNIFICATOR ARE LIKE MIRAGE. THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT RULE OF THE 4

STEP METHOd.

-English translated 4 step lecture notes, page 5

 

Q.5: could you imagine how it would be complicated in some charts by including

the 'unnecessary' secondary significators, as shown below?

in saying that its Original and that no rules have been picked from any other

of the source, with due respect given to the source before we address ourself as

the originator. Another matter is that before a theory is propounded, then

please make it undersrandable to at least 70% of the members.  In an earlier

mail where reference was made by Shri Sunil ji, to Shri Sahasnejis books that he

has not written everything but written articles from his Guru Hasbe jis

magazines which Shri Sunil Gondhalekarji has admitted that Guruji has done the

editing, then I do not understand wheres

point fingers at anyone ? And why were you silent at that mail ? At least for

Rs. 300/- the students have got a millions Rupees worth of knowledge from his

books containing hundreds of examples and simple style of explaining the rules.

The photo of his Guruji has been put on his books, due respect has been given,

his Gurujis reference is made in almost every second Chapter. Do You see this in

Shri Suniljis book which I purchased from him for Rs.500- containg 40 pages of

large Fonts (Xerox Pages) written in a hurried manner, and absolute confused

depictions of the rules ? No reference to his Guruji, no respect , no

acknowledgement, just nothing.

audience,does not pay respect to the original VedVyas ji who is the Author of

concerend with all this, nor am interested in Politics, nor care for who

acknolwedges whom, but mentioning this just because fingers were pointed at Shri

Sahasne ji . If I am not mistaken Shri Sunilji and Shri Shasneji have learnt KP

from the same Guru Hasbeji. pointing one finger at others means pointing 3 at

ourselves, is what made me write above.

will be constructive and asking for further learning , and not for derision or

Your allegation that these rules are already used by Mr. Shahasane ji seems to

be baseless if you say you did not understand the rules at all.

KP just because you are not comfortable with naming it this way? It is your

decision not to comment on 4 step any more, however any constructive comments

by Shri Sahasne in his books written many years ago, is what may not be common

knowledge, is what I am tring to say Sir. Removing something from KP, then

adding another set of confusing rules to it and naming it " 4 Step " is not what I

am comfortable with. Shri Sahasne has made improvisations to KP in his books,

mentioned the areas where he feels further research must be done, accepted his

dissatisfactions in certain areas, but never claimed to be originator of any new

theories.

or Advanced level student, is always welcome. I did not even understand properly

your translation in the Files Section where a 58 KB File on Fout Step theory

Rules are, put up. There are about 10 Ruless mentioned which themselves contain

many others within them. Understanding the English in any article is another

matter, understanding the rules is a seperate matter, and application of them is

again another junction. When to apply which rules is again confusing. This is my

personal opinion as I mentioned before.

only adding and /or improvising some rules. Further the method of working out

signification of each planet is entirely different. To differentiate this aspect

from KP (and not get confused as KP) it was suitably titled as " 4 Step Theory " .

Therefore to understand 4 step, knowledge of KP as given in KSK's Readers is

necessary.

In fact I am very comfortable with 4 step theory.

these were translated in Hindi and Gujrathi, I suppose. These books must be

widely used by many KP astrologers. Then I fail to understand why the fact

that " he used apparent presently Titled, 4 Step rules, very effectively in KP

without making it confusing " may not be of common knowledge? But if this is a

fact, then credit must go to him. Frankly speaking since I have not read his

books I cannot comment on this. But there must be many members in this forum who

have read his books, can throw some light on this.
