Very mixed feelings here.

Gary, I think Syamasundar is a member because of his practice of astrology. I don't think that necessarily means that Hrishikesha agrees with all of Syamasundar's social views.

To be truthful Hrisikesh has no idea what Shyamsundars views are - not a clue.

 

Shyamsundara is a member of the PGA because he is a bona fide and expert PGA (Planetary Gem Advisor) able to correctly choose gems accoding to the laws of Vedic Jyotish.

 

This means he follows all the 6 rules or Codes of the PGA, including a PROHABITION against recommending gems for planets which are harmful (Pratikul) in one's horoscope.

 

U may find it interesting to know that the Planetary Gemology World is basically divided into two (2) opposing philosophies, viz., Anukul-vad v/s Pratikul-vad:

 

ANUKULA-VAD: A gem will act "SAME" as it's planet (So gems should be chosen for Anukul-grahas)

 

PRATIKUL-VAD: A gem will act "OPPOSITE" of it's planet (So gems should be chosen for Pratikul-grahas)

 

The PGA is an association in which Hrisikesh is a co-founder member, but only a member. Prabhupada disciple Hansavatar Das is the Acting Secretary of the PGA being the most qualified PG or Planetary Gemologist, i.e., a person who is BOTH a certified gemologist AND a qualified astrologer who can choose gems. There are only 5 PG's in the whole world.
