***Jaya Jagannath***Dear shiv & sagar

That answer from shiv will not help.

1. Start with Brihat Parasara Hora Shastra. This is the most fundamental

book. The sanskrit given in the book is not the original from Parasara as the

sanskrit used by Parasara in the Rig Veda is very difficult and ancient. The

sanskrit used here is of recent origin and is probably the work of a learned

Pundit from Uttar Pradesh who went from one village to another and tried to

collect the stanzas from different families so that he could organise them as a

whole for his students. such is the greatness of the Guru's of those Himalayas.

read this and master it. try to remember every stanza by heart. Then proceed to

the next.

2. Brihat Jataka of Varahamihira is very good and is vey simple in the face of

it, and is the only most authentic work which refers to the ancients.

Varahamihira was a strict follower of the tradition and this helps resolve

small riddles that could remain if BPHS is read without a Guru. Sri

Sooryanarain rao the illustrious grandfather of Dr Raman is the best translator

so far.

3. Saravali of Kalyan Verma is the first serious step into divisions and other

aspects of conception, Moola dasa should be learnt from here.

4. Jataka Parijatha is yet another masterpiece that I adore refer to even today.

It is too deep and will take many years to really fathom properly. Every sutra

has many underlying meanings and implications.

5. Sarvartha Chintamani of Vyankatesh sarma should be read next and this is the

deepest work on Divisions.

6. Upadesa Sutra of Maharishi Jaimini is the greatest work in this series and is

too deep even for one who is recognised as having some expertise in this area.

Thereafter you will know Jyotish..at least horoscopy or Jataka...

Phaladeepika, Hora Ratnam, Bhavartha Ratnakara, and other books should be read

to grasp the principles and not with the intention of quoting as we do for

Parasara.

Books like Prasna Marga, Krishneeyam etc are a must for Prasna and Brihat

Samhita are very important for mundane. Sankaracharya was right. There is no

end to the ocean. Just keep swimming with the faith that one day you will see

land.

Dear Sri Sanjay:

 

You have made an interesting point here. I wish to

know the basis why you think the BPHS we have now is

not the actual now, but only a collection of verses

people remembered. More so, how can it be said that

the original verses of Parashara were in RgVeda (I am

not sure I get your statement right), but I think the

Vedas are apaurusheya (unauthored).

 

Also, I saw, on your web site, that cover page of your

book, 'Vedic Remedies in Astrology', which has a

picture of the Lord Narayana in the Surya. I am

curious to know the source of this picture.

 

Incidentally, a book written by my guruji (not an

astrologer, but a maadhva scholar), 'Glories of

Gayatri' (published in 1980s) has the same picture. I

also found that this picture was itself taken from the

cover page of a maadhva kannada monthly journal,

'tattvavaada'; which I presumed to be the source of

the picture.

Now, it appears that the source must have been a

general one, which is why I am interested. I used to

be under the (wrong) impression that it is only the

maadhvas/Vaishnavas who contemplate on Narayana as the

referrent of the word, 'Gayatri'.

 

Sorry if I have bored you so far :-)

 

Regards,

Nomadeva Sharma.

Dear list, I am sorry that I hit the send button

before changing the address in the 'To' list. That was

intended to be a personal mail.

 

Not to waste a mail, I take this opportunity to ask a

question (since that's all I can do at present):

 

While going through the links Sri Visti had sent in

another mail on marriage and upapada, this rule can be

seen that the if the Arudha of a sign and the sign are

same, the 10th needs to be taken.

What is the logic behind this that satyapeetha and

mAyApITha have to be different? Nobody can ever

perceive as is?

NDS

Dear Sanjay,

 

Was "Jataka Bharanam" omitted by intention or oversight?

 

Warm regards,
