Guest guest Posted November 7, 2004 Report Share Posted November 7, 2004 MR.Chandrashekharji, Smt.Shanti, Mr.PVR.Narasimhaji, Mr.Chandrashekarji, My perception is that you’re a man of vivid Astrological knowledge; you could circumvent any astrological discussion. However your misconceptions about Astrological Kala chakra dasa to some other pooja system had caused me to approach my Village Prohit for further clarifications. Smt.Shanti, Please understand from Mr. Narasimha’s post to you, that “ All that glitters are not gold” Mr.P.V.R. Narasimha Rao, My village Prohit is a practicing in Krishna Yajurveda Aabhassthmba suthram, he directed me to contact his Guru at Thanjavour who had taught him Mukurtha Sastra and Kala chakra dasa system several 10s of years ago. Leaving my Divalli business, I road all the way to Thanjavour in search of my Prohit’s Guruji and really after my Bhakiratha- Prayathna I could trace my Prohit’s Guruji at Pondicherry 605005,INDIA.It was a surprise for me to understand that my Prohit’s Guruji as well as Mr.VedapuriBaskaraBandulu.D.Sathiyanarayanagupta are the one and the same person. Mr.VedapuriBaskarabandulu.D.sathiyanarayanagupta was kind enough to give Bala-siksha in Kala chackra dasa system, the blue print of it have been publicized Mr.Narasimha Rao, Sir, if your genuinely interested in honoring, you may do so and send copies of your book and commercial soft-wear to: Mr.VedapuriBaskaraBandulu.D.Sathiyanarayanagupta, # 24, 2nd Cross-, Annanagar, PONDICHERRY 605005, Pond cherry State, I N D I A. My address: Mr.K.Krishnamoorthy,(Dhananjayan) Prop. Gandhi Textiles, # 115 / H2, Pootai Road, Sankarapuram 606401. Villupuram Dist, Tamil Nadu State, INDIA. My village Prohit has no system, do know English, he told me your books or soft- wear is of no use to him. I have a system for my business purpose only. In our village we Often face Electricity failure and net-congestion. Dhananjayan. "Narasimha P.V.R. Rao" <pvr (AT) charter (DOT) net> wrote: Namaste Shanthi, Thank you for the kind support. However, no negative motives need to be seen behind someone's questioning my method. In all honesty, I do not want to defend "the Kalachakra dasa of PVR". Instead, I want to correctly understand the Kalachakra dasa of Lord Shiva and Sage Parasara. If I make a mistake, it should be corrected at the earliest opportunity! True knowledge alone is eternal. All other things, like ego, reputation etc, are temporary. I worked on Kalachakra dasa in my formative years as an astrology scholar (1993-1998). I went by the interpretation I found in some texts. I thought I found it working, but I honestly did not have a consistent method. My original lecture on Kalachakra dasa at Arsha Vidya Gurukulam had a lot of loose logic. If some fault me for sharing half-baked knowledge, they are correct and I humbly accept my errors. The bottomline is that I never thought my understanding of Kalachakra dasa was infallible. As my understanding of astrology matured more, I realized that my understanding of Kalachakra was imperfect. I honestly don't think that Kalachakra dasa as given in my original lecture at AVG or in JHora is accurate. I will offer more options in future, based on a more cautious study and research. In fact, Sanjay ji asked me to write two books on Kalachakra dasa and Ashtakavarga when I finished my first book ("Vedic Astrology: An Integrated Approach"). I refused saying I had not yet understood either correctly. [Yes, I believe there are important missing links in ashtakavarga. I am not talking about the inconsistencies between Varahamihira and Parasara. I believe there are more errors in fundamental understanding. I am still working on this.] One big issue in Kalachakra dasa is whether dasa sesham is applied to the first dasa or the entire paramayush consisting of 9 dasas. Though JHora gives only the latter, I have both in my personal version of JHora and experimented with both. The advantage of the latter approach is that there is continuity across nakshatra pada boundaries. However, one can argue that this is not a necessity, as discontinuities across savya and apasavya nakshatra boundaries cannot be avoided anyway! The advantage of the former approach is that it allows us to stick to the four paramayush values given by Parasara and Shiva. When I originally worked on Kalachakra dasa 8-9 years back, I did not have the knowledge, maturity and ability to resolve this issue satisfactorily. I made a lot of progress in recent months. However, I was always flummoxed by antardasa computation. Taking antardasas from dasa sign is Vimsottari dasa thinking and is too simplisitc. I was always convinced that the correct answer was something else (but I could not put my finger on it). Moreover, I was not satisfied with antardasa in many examples. In my early days, I would accept any logic, but I am more strict now. Dhananjayan Brahma's recent comments made my intellectual curiosity deeper. I meditated more on this. I referred to a book I have, which gives a lot more material than Parasara. This book has a lot of Sanskrit verses that are a conversation between Shiva and Parvati. It was published in 1931 with Telugu language translation by a scholar called Sriman Tirumala Samudrala Venkata Raghavacharya. I luckily grabbed a copy of it a few years back. I read it several times before, but still did not understand antardasas correctly. When I read it last week again, the internal spark was lit by the grace of Lord Shiva. Finally I understood that dasas, antardasas, pratyantardasas etc are based on the same logic and that antardasas are not philosophically different from dasas. When I described my finding to Sanjay ji, he found it very logical. It simply made the perfect sense to both of us. He was so excited that he said we should present this at the Mumbai conference of SJC. I would have normally waited and experimented for 6-12 months before going public, but Sanjay ji made the decision and I will act accordingly. Sanjay ji and I are going to jointly write a paper on Kalachakra dasa. As I will not be in Mumbai, Sanjay ji will present it on behalf of both of us. I look forward to sharing this with the world. After the Mumbai conference is over, I will go public with my findings. But I want to thank Dhananjayan Brahma and his village purohit for questioning me and deepening the dormant intellectual curiosity in this matter. I am most grateful. Dear Dhananjayan Brahma, if the village purohit you mentioned has a computer, I want to give you and him two free copies of the commercial version of JHora (with three options given for Kalachakra dasa, including my latest finding and the facility to use Moon or lagna for Kalachakra dasa as explicitly taught by Shiva).

Guest guest Posted November 8, 2004 Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 Dear Dhananjayan, There is no misconception. I think you were referring to Kalachakra dasha, which according to the Purohit, could not be known to anybody, without Bhagiratha Prayatna. If this is right then, details of Kalachakra Dasha being provided by many Astrological texts about Kalachakra dasha; I thought your Purohit was confusing it with the Kalachakra Puja and Buddhist Tantra. There need not be any confusion about Kalachakra dasha as far as Astrology is concerned, they having been elaborated at length by many Sages, in detail. Kalachakra dasha given by Parashara also mentions how to interpret Navamsha of Moon's pada occupation of Savya /Apasavya Rasis. Parashara mentions only Manduka, Markati and Simhavalokana gati. You have given many other Gatis( unless they are merely different names for the same Gatis), like Cock,Peacock etc. If D. Sathiyanarayana Gupta, who is knowledgeable, is giving different parameters than those given by Parashara, perhaps he has some other source from which he is relating these. Chandrashekhar.
