Thank You Very Much For The Response.

[Guest guest]

Dear Shri Sanjay Rath and List,

 

Greetings to you all!

 

Thank you for responding to my post and it's very much

appreciated! Well, I am glad you agree with me on some of the issues

that I have raised in my previous posting. I do understand and concur

with what you have expressed in your prompt reply.

 

Shri Sanjay Rath, again I wish to thank you for clarifying that this

list is in fact a general discussion forum and not one specially for

learning Jyotish. BTW, is there a list that yourself or the senior

members on this list moderate primarily for learning Jyotish? It

would be very much appreciated if you could furnish information on

this at your earliest.

 

[shri Sanjay Rath] Predictions are normally made in articles that are

published in print or web at least.

 

Shri Sanjay Rath, you have mentioned predictions being published in

articles and posted on the web, right? I would greatly appreciate it,

if you could kindly direct me to such publications and URLS where you

and the leading astrologers on this list post their predictions. I am

rather keen in acquiring the techniques and skill sets required for

making successful predictions and it would be simply exhilarating to

follow through the principles and techniques that yourself and the

leading astrologers on this list use to make successful predictions

and also to do horoscopic analysis. In my view this might be the best

way to learn Jyotish especially of methods straight from learned

astrologers themselves.

 

[shri Sanjay Rath] Secondly, nobody can make consistently accurate

predictions all the time. We all have our pitfalls.

 

I do understand and agree with your point here and I am well aware

that even the best of the lot are not impeccable. We all have our own

pitfalls, preferred techniques and personal idiosyncrasies but this

must not deter, especially the learned astrologers, to avoid

predicting on a regular basis. No one needs to be consistently

accurate (I think no one can in fact!) but one can consistently

predict regardless of the outcome of his or her prediction. I see no

reason why a competent astrologer especially the seniors members on

this esteemed list should not lead the way in this regard. How else

can we learn to predict if we are not willing to risk making an

error? Just as in so many human endeavors (primarily in the field of

science) the mindset of taking a risk while knowing very well that

there is a chance of being wrong is what is very much needed in

Jyotish. I suppose we must be prepared to make mistakes, and then

assess what went wrong, that is the only way to learn.

 

[shri Sanjay Rath] Nice point about post mortem - i agree as this is

the best way to learn.

 

No! I think you have misunderstood my view here.

 

What I said was that the copious of astrological evaluation prevalent

on this list after an event or the so-called post-mortem analysis

runs counter to the percept of Jyotish. This is simply because

anything can be picked-up from the superfluous of principles and

techniques availed in the abundance of Jyotish literature, and one

can even cook-up anything plausible to suit the given event after its

occurrence. I think this is not going to do much in our pursuit of

predictive proficiency.

 

Perhaps, you and most on this list might disagree with me on this but

you must understand, and be aware that each event even for the same

individual is unique in itself and hence there is no right fit for

all occasions.

 

The extensive rate of failure and the sorry state of predictive

approach of even the well-known astrologers can attest to this. This

is rather conspicuous and if we take it as a cue we would not want to

make the mistake of over dependency on trend or pattern alone in

astrological analysis. Yes! Life is cyclic and periodicity is rather

evident in our lives. I must say that there is no doubt a general

pattern that prevails in individual life and also in mundane affairs;

this includes the life of nations, leaders and competition outcome

across the globe. But my view is that we cannot solely rely on such

principles or patterns alone. Unique methods and unique principles

are imperative in predicting events or results successfully; well,

that's my observation.

 

[shri Sanjay Rath] Pearl has used the Arudha which I have employed so

often to find the right results. In her analysis of England vs

Ireland she takes the 'favorites' to be the Lagna. Now that is not

logical and if she has got 80% success, then her guess on choosing

the lagna as the 'favorite' has been right 80% of the time. If she

were to add a simple check of the navamsa, then the accuracy would

improve.

 

Shri Sanjay Rath, I am very keen in Pearl's methodology and I

would be much obliged if you could kindly explain in detail on this

if time permits. I am all the more interested coz' she is getting

a fantastic 80% success rate. I would like further details on the

`Favorites' to be taken as the Lagna, etc. Well, you have

also mentioned the check on the Navamsa, please tell me what do you

actually mean by this. This would go a long way in helping me

understand these successful techniques.

 

Well, Shri Sanjay Rath, with regards to Shri P V R Narasimha's

mail that I was referring to, it is in fact on this list, please

check the same for your kind attention. BTW, I really feel sorry for

your suffering while you were in the government.

 

My warmest regards and best wishes to all on the list! You have a

nice day too!

 

Thank you,

 

Anupama

this was for discussions and sharing of views. Predictions are

rate and to sharpen our predictive tools. I have suffered quite a bit

in government due to some predctions. Now that I am out, I can say so

frankly. Everyone does not take these in the right spirit and the

astrologer has to couch his words to ensure that no one is coming for

his blood. Nostradamus was no exception spending years in pleasing

the church.

If she were to add a simple check of the navamsa, then the accuracy

would improve. I don't have a copy of the mails from Narasimha on the

predictions, do forward them and we can start the post mortem.
