Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu

[Guest guest]

Hi Dharmapada

 

The GJ has a lot of functions and i am just learning and getting used to it. I

just found that i was looking for navadwip instead of nabadwip and therefore i

could not get the calculations right except from Mayapur which is close but not

for our studies.

 

According to the Caitanya Caritamrita page 101, Lord Chaitanya was born at 11

hours 30 minutes after sunrise. According to the GJ, the sunrise happened at

5:57:15. Therefore He was born at 17:27:15 on the 18 february 1486.

 

Here you have the definitive planetary positions.

 

Asc Leo 22°20 Purvaphalguni

Sun Aquarius 22° 10' Purvabhadrapa

Moon Leo 19° 34' Purvaphalguni

Mars Capricorn 11° 9' Shravan

Mercury Pisces 10° 14' Uttarabhadrap

Jupiter Sagittarius 20° 20' Purvashadha

Venus Aries 4° 56' Ashwini

Saturn Scorpio 24° 40' Jyestha

Rahu Aquarius 26° 37' Purvabhadrapa

Ketu Leo 26° 37' Purvaphalguni

Uranus Sagittarius 15° 30' Purvashadha

Neptune Scorpio 29° 43' Jyestha

Pluto R Libra 2° 2' Chitra

 

 

He was born under the Venus maha-dasa and the Sun maha dasa started on 19

October 1496. And to be more precise, His moon is at 19°34'22" Leo

 

Although He was born on the 18 of february, we have to adjust the date to the

Gregorian calendar. I too was puzled when i calculated for the 18 of feb cos i

did not get the planetary position as in the CC. But it came to my mind that

Lois Rodden in her book Astro Data II, gives a Time Convertion Table to convert

from the old style (julian) to the New Style (gregorian). And for dates between

March 1, 1400 AD to the end of Feb 1500 AD, we have to add 9 days. Maybe Das

will incorporate that convertion in the GJ V3 version to make it more practical.

 

I hope that astrologer Vaisnavas benefit from this calculations.

 

Yours in the service of the Lord,

Bery interesting and baluable tip bhen dealing with Bengal! The Bengalis

pronounce v and w as b! In fact the name of the province is Vanga (as in the

Indian National anthem) or Vangala. The a is also often pronounced as o

(compare Russian where o is a!) The usual s becomes sh, but the usual sh

is often left out: Dharmakshetre becomes "dhommoketre". So if the atlas refuses

to respond, one should try these variations.
