>SJC Hyderabad Conference Report

>

>Dear members,

>

>Namaste.

>

>As several of you enquired about the proceedings of the SJC

>Hyderabad conference, I thought to share with you some

>impressions as one of the participants.

>

>The SJC Hyderabad conference was held in Hotel Raj Classic Inn in

>Hyderabad, between 2nd and 10th of December, 2002. It was titled

>SRI VYANKATESHA SHARMA VARGA WORKSHOP and the main topic of the

>conference was divisional charts and their application in

>different branches of Jyotish. A book was published

>simultaneously with the conference by Sagar Publications, titled

>Varga Cakra. This book contains most of the papers presented on

>the conference with the exclusion of a few talks, which were all

>recorded and I think will be available soon in CD fromaf from SJC

>Hyderabad. For further information on the recordings please

>contact Shailesh C. Chadha, president of SJC-East

>(scchadha).

>

>The speakers included first of all Sri Sanjay Rath, who gave very

>interesting talks on Hora, Dasamsa, Navamsa, Shastyamsa, chart

>rectification and chart analysis at a glance. Then we had Andrew

>Foss, who was speaking about Dreskana and Siddhamsa. Ohter

>speakers included Shiv Pujan, G.K. Goel, Phyllis Chubb, Sat Shiri

>Khalsa, Visti Larsen, Dr. Satya Prakash and myself. We had about

>30 full time participants from abroad and local as well. We had

>three 2-hour sessions daily, and talks or chart analysis

>continued in the afternoons, sometimes till early morning. Every

>morning we had a meditation session with Purushottamanji and

>myself. After the workshop was over, most of the participants

>joined us in the pilgrimage to Tirumalla, to take Darshan of Sri

>Vyenkateshwara Balaji on the Thursday morning of Mrigashira

>Maasa. We went there by bus, visited first Sri Varaha-Nrisimha

>Swami, then Balaji, and on the way back we took darshan of Sri

>Padmavati, Vyenkatehsvara's consort. Most participants had their

>hair shaved, in this way praying to the Lord to free them from

>the influence of Rahu.

>

>The queue to stand is usually very long, but thanks to the

>arrangements made by Mr and Mrs Lakshmi ramesh, who are regular

>visitors to the shrine, everything went very smoothly and

>quickly. Although usually foreigners have to sign a declaration

>that they accept the Hindu faith before they are allowed to enter

>the temple, the foreign members of our party were accepted as

>authentic Hinduse without having to make a declaration. As you

>may know no foreigners are allowed to enter the Jagannatha temple

>at Puri, but Sanjayji said that he was working on changing this

>rule. We hope for the best. We have also decided that next year's

>conference would be held in Puri in mid January 2004, although

>the topic is not yet finalised. In m name and in the name of my

>shishya Swee Chan, who was also very happy to tkae part in this

>conference I would loke to thank once more very much to Sanjayji,

>the other speakers and the organizers for their efforts and

>contribution and we are looking forward to be able to tkae part

>in more such conferences in the future, where the exchange of

>knowledge becomes a very enlivening experience. I hope to see all

>of you again on the next year's conference, and perhaps see all

>those as well who were unable to participate.

>

>As for my self, I have presented two papers. One was on Suryamsa

>(D-12) and the other one on the Deities or amsa lords of the

>D-charts. The second paper comes to about 50 pages, and the

>material is not finalised yet. Despite this, I am willing to send

>these papers to anyone interested as email attachments just

>please lte me know. I would also like to have your feedback on

>the Varga Deities material as there is much more matter to

>research and experimet with. Eventually it may grow into a book

>analysing these finer aspects of construction and analysis of

>D-charts.

>

>I hope other participants of the conference would also share

>their ideas. Me and Swee are prepairing notes that we made on the

>conference in electronic form, so once ready this will also be

>available from our website and maybe in the list's library as

>well.
