Om Gurave Namah

Namaste Sri Rao,

 

I was not allowed to join the j-list and Ranjan ji forwarded my mail there. You

seemed to be responding to that mail when you wrote the following. I am sending

my reply to you personally and also cc'ing it to vedic astrology ,

which is the biggest Vedic astrology list on the internet and where all views

are tolerated.

I do not deny the interlinking of destinies. But, I still insist that D-12 shows

the destiny of parents from the child's perspective only. Each child's D-12 may

offer a different perspective on the destinies of parents.

 

My sister's D-12 has Jupiter in 4th. From her perspective, my mother is a wise

and religious lady. But, my D-12 has Mercury in 4th in a Venusian sign. From my

perspective, my mother is a very smart, easy-going and worldly wise lady.

 

Thus, D-12's of two children may throw up different perspectives on the same

parent. And, in reality, it may so happen that neither perspective matches what

the parent's own rasi chart shows!

 

If a native's mother or father has an important event in life (e.g. becoming a

nation's prime minister or having a big accident), it does show up in their

D-12 and Vimsottari dasa (or Narayana dasa works even better), because the

event affects the native's "parental environment". So, interlinks in destiny do

work, but they work thru the paradigm of "parental environment" that I outlined.

It is wrong, in my view, to think that one's D-12 shows the complete destiny of

parents. It only shows the aspect of parental destiny that expresses itself

thru one's parental environment.

Disclose what? If it is in a chapter in the above-mentioned book, I'd imagine

it's already "disclosed".

 

If you have further "secrets", I look forward to your "disclosing" them in a future book.

Plagiarism is a serious issue. If you are sure that somebody "plgiarized" your

"researches", please do take some action.

 

Talking about plagiarism, Mr. Praveen Kumar copied a few sentences on the Gaur

twins from a copyrighted article on my website. He copied the sentences

*verbatim*. Neither did he get my permission to reproduce the copyrighted

material, nor did he acknowledge the source. I did not want to antagonize him

and so ignored it until this topic of plagiarism was brought up by you!

> That is the originality in the astrology of these writers !!

 

So, what's the point? As long as you do not mention any names - of writers or

their works or your plagiarized works - what point does the above assertion

serve?

Sri Seshidri Iyer was one of the first modern authors to show the importance of

varga charts. Then, books by you and your students really popularized varga

charts. You deserve kudos of the Jyotish community for that! Popularization of

varga charts was your monumental contribution to modern Jyotish literature.

 

However, in case you are thinking that the use of varga charts by others is

tantamount to "plagiarism", I beg to differ. Nobody has exclusive rights over

concepts such as divisional charts, bhava arudhas, graha arudhas, chara

karakas, varnadas, ghatika lagna, hora lagna, pranapada lagna, rasi dasas etc.

 

In fact, if you really have any important secrets with you and choose to keep

quiet, it will be a great loss for astrology.

 

By God's grace, there has really been a renaissance in Vedic astrology as you

wrote once. You have made tremendous contributions with your books and

researches. Pt. Sanjay Rath also wrote books later and revealed some brilliant

secrets and insights.

 

We - I am not saying this about anybody in particular - are all human and have

our own egos to pamper. But, if one rises above all this for a minute and sees

the works in Jyotish during the last decade impartially, one will see that the

renaissance in Vedic astrology is really coming. Several persons - ranging from

you to Pt. Rath - are playing a great role.

 

Whether you are K.N. Rao or Sanjay Rath or P.V.R. Narasimha Rao, this is not the

time to keep queit and keep secrets. Nor is it the time to fight amongst us and

be distracted. This is the time to reveal secrets and contribute to the

renaissance, so that a future generation can put all the pieces together and

solve the puzzle! Because, I guarantee you, nobody today has all the pieces!

 

Personally, to me, it does not matter what I get out of it. What I give is more important.

If you go to the following page, you can read the article:

 

http://www.VedicAstrologer.org/050200.htm

 

It was written by me on April 8, 1998 and says at the top: "This article is

dedicated to Sri K.N. Rao, a living legend in the world of astrology." I used

to write small articles and dedicate them to accomplished scholars, such as Dr.

Raman, his grandfather, you, Mukunda Daivajna etc.

 

May Jupiter's light shine on us,

Narasimha
