Guest guest Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 Hi Gadai, Years ago, when there was a dispute between the astrologer you mention, Nalini, and Shyamasundara over Prabhupada's birth time and Lagna, I represented Nalini, like a lawyer, on the Web and to the GBC. At that time SS had his Astrology forum and ruled the WWW, while Nalini had never even heard of " email " or " WWW " until years later. But I'm using email since 1991, and have a web site since 1995. So seeing him so helpless against SS therefore I took his side. As a result the GBC were stumped and SS had his astrology forum turned off. Kind of like Nalini " won " the battle that I fought for him. But I'm not so sure any more. I first met the astrologer Nalini in 1979 when he did my chart using the 1:06 pm birth time in my birth certificate. That made me Cancer lagna. But he didn't like that. He insisted I MUST be LEO Lagna because of my position and appearance. So he " adjusted " my birth time to be 1:52 pm making me Leo Lagna (to suit his whim). Subsequently I spent 18 years using the WRONG horoscope. In fact my Birth Certificate is correct. The reason I appear like Leo lagna is because I have Sun in Aries in the 10th house. Later I contacted him and asked him to redo my horoscope using my REAL birth time, which has me as Cancer lagna, and moves 3 planets from 8th into 9th house. So THIS is an example of how an astrologer can be full of BS with they’re fanciful birth time adjustments... trying to get a chart that suits their " view. " So don't be surprised if Prabhupada was RIGHT about his birth time being 4 pm. To see Prabhupada we must see his entire life, not just the tail end. Prabhupada " had a life " before becoming " Prabhupada " and starting preaching. All his godbrothers had been life-long preachers and sadhus during time of Bhakti Siddhanta Sarasvati, and then " A C De " was a no body. Because of his not helping during his whole life and starting to preach so late in life Prabhupada was not taken seriously by his Godbrothers, who disapproved of his " untrained hippy gang " mixing men and women. They didn't have a clue what was going on with him. And they had no prior reason to take him seriously, so they didn't. That made Prabhupada angry, so he badmouthed his (all senior) godbrothers to hell and back. And his words being " absolute " were (are) taken seriously and literally by many of his disciples, who are offensive against other devotees as a result of this apotheosis tic thinking. So if you are going to say that Prabhupada was WRONG about his birth time, then you MUST admit that he might be wrong about his godbrothers too: like calling them black snakes and non-devotees. But if Prabhupada's every word is absolute gospel then we must accept 4 pm birth time, which gives a chart in line with his ENTIRE life. All comments are welcome on this topic...

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 Jaya Prabhuji, Thanks for the very interesting history. For my part, altering the birth time by 46 minutes seems very extreme. That's why I asked the question if anyone had calculated the exact time in 1896 when the sign change occurred. 4:00 sounds like a time a nurse would write down or grandma / midwife would report. Your recorded time of 1:06 is very believable. Being born on an exact quarter hour happens less than 7% of the time statistically. The famous astrologer BV Raman used a different Ayanamsa than the Lahiri commonly used , yet he had an excellent reputation. Another personal experience I've had is a friend whose Asc is within a few minutes of a degree of the cusp. She's an incredible mixture of the two signs.Over and above these issues , I've never seen the Capricorn Asc chart for Srila Prabhupada. So that would be interesting to see side by side with the Sag chart.

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 so Capricorn. I guess the discussion revolved around whether he was dhanus lagna correct? it is hard to say. i always thought he was a dhanus lagna. the reason why is that my 6th house occupies dhanus and rahu is placed there and during rahu I was attracted to his organization greatly. I was introduced to it by a wicked widow or woman (rahu). __________ Raja G.

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 Dear Gadai, You can see BOTH charts here: http://www.agt-gems.com/Book/dedication.html The real question is DO WE USE COMMON SENSE? OR BLIND FANATICAL FAITH? When dealing with the words of Srila Prabhupada. I spoke in Bengali and English with Prabhupada every day for two weeks. I stayed with him in Mayapur... we did Upadesamrita TOGETHER in 1973. So I know how Prabhupada thinks and reacts and what he really means. And let me tell you that Prabhupada is very misunderstood. Hey! Good name for a band! The Misunderstood. Cool! Y/s, Richard sacred-objects , David Sherk <gadaidasa wrote: > > Jaya Prabhuji, > Thanks for the very interesting history.
