Sanjay ji's open-mindedness (More on Scorpio and Guhya......AMEN)

[Guest guest]

Dear Sri Narasimha,

Eventhough no name is refered in your post about Sri Sanjay, it is

easy to gauge that the undersigned's posting is refered.

 

In actuality, it was forced upon this being to ask if Sarbaniji and

Chandrashekhar ji would accept Sri Sanjay ji's words as last in the

arguement about Guhyanga Parbhasha.

 

No amount of convincing them would let discussion on matters of

minutest details of Male and Feamale genitalia and process of

reproduction, come to rest .

 

Even posting a relatively light humoured piece in form of Dailogue

between Shiva and Parvati had no effect. On the contrary, Prabodh ji

had a dig at undersigned's many names.

 

 

This being may be knowing less astrology principles than most of the

group but what is known is correct.(They very reason why the

undersigned is here is to learn. The process of learning is a bit

like Ekalavya)

 

 

Speaking about Sri Sanjay and yourself, when someone posted bad

remarks about both of you, (Pl refer Partha's posting), this being

was the first to defend.

 

It is hoped that a fresher life would be introduced in discussion

about Karakatva and domain affairs of Rasis and Planets.

 

It is hoped that it is understood that the intention was not to

question authority of anyone's mastery over Astrology knowledge.

 

Tatvam-Asi

that his knowledge need not be perfect (even though it is far more

perfect than anybody else's). He encouraged me (and others I am sure)

to dissect his teachings, to really understand them and disagree when

needed. He is a totally open-minded and ego-less guru.

an opportunity to argue with him here many times before. In fact,

there were even occasions when he changed his views after an

argument. An example is the Moola dasa starting point argument.

Because Varahamihira and Kalyana Verma were so unambiguous on it, I

publicly disagreed with Sanjay ji and had a heated argument on

whether Sun can be the starting point for Moola dasa apart from lagna

and Moon. Sanjay ji accepted my view publicly after about a year. It

is a proof of his greatness, humility and open-mindedness.

> Of course, some obedient and loyal students of Sanjay ji may take

his word as the LAST WORD and prefer to ignore other ancient

authorities. It is a valid stand. Whenever you have a savant of the

stature of Sanjay ji, invariably such following develops. But you

have to bear in mind that Sanjay ji himself is quite open. The most

important thing is that Sanjay ji encourages students like me who

question some of his teachings publicly and does not treat us with

suspicion or scorn like some other egoistic gurus may be inclined to

do. Though I have a mind of my own and questioned Sanjay ji many

times, he was always so kind and affectionate to me and gave me so

much! In fact, he explicitly told me to maintain the same spirit of

questioning and finding the Truth.

exactly Sanjay ji thinks or believes in. He dislikes spoon-feeding.

There were occasions when he taught me incorrectly and corrected

himself with lit up eyes when I confronted him with the correct logic

after a few months. What he teaches you depends on what he thinks you

are ready for. Thus, what he teaches you is a reflection of what he

thinks about your level more than what he knows or thinks. His

actions and motivations are very tough to understand, as he operates

on a totally different intellectual plane than most of us.
