Tithi Pravesha Book and Sanskrit Transliteration--TO NARASIMHA-JI Change of

[Guest guest]

Dear Narasimha Ji,

 

Would it be at all possible to include Transliterations of the

Sanskrit contents of the TP book, for those of us who may have

difficulty in easily reading the Devanagari Script? in case you are

planning only the Dev.script?

 

Thanks in any case for thinking about the Sanskrit content, which at

least to me is very important, regarding the sound value of Sanskrit

terms, schlokas etc.

 

Wishes of best success regarding your book,

 

Sabri.

Sri Ramadas Rao sent me an email asking me to invite you. He told me

that he is from Kashyapa gothra and learnt Kashyapa Hora from Sri

R.G. Rao. He said that you learnt it from him well. He told you to

call Sri RG Rao and take his blessings and permission to speak on

Kashypa Hora. And you did, which you mentioned to me. It is your

guru's confidence in you and the blessings you had from your guru

and his guru that, in my mind, gave you the moral authority to speak

on "Kashyapa Hora" at the Boston workshop. There were no other

factors. And, those have not changed.

when I heard first-hand from people who received good predictions

from you based on prashna. For example, one lady who is a very good

friend of my wife told me that you talked to her a few days back and

predicted that she would find a job in India before the 5th of July.

She had already decided to move to India, but had not found a job

yet. However, she found a job before the 5th as you said. I did hear

from people who got good predictions from you.

my judgment, you will not bring a bad name to SJC.

> In fact, I don't agree that being able to solve puzzles correctly

and make good predictions makes one the best person to teach

astrological principles. If one is successful, it is not necessarily

due to good principles. It can be due to luck, good intuition

brought by a good dasa, good intuition thru spirituality or even a

Karna Pisachi! There may be another person who has nearly perfect

knowledge of all the principles but keeps erring in the final

judgment and gives wrong prediction. I may be able to learn more

useful things from the latter than the former and progress as a

predictive astrologer despite the predictive failures of that

person! For example, the best cricketers do not necessarily make the

best coaches. Majority of the successful cricket coaches were

average players in their days. In any case, this is a secondary

issue.

> It will be good to meet you and hear you teach Kashyapa Hora. It

will also be good to pray to Mother Lakshmi along with you. So

please talk to your guru and rethink your decision. If you withdraw

this decision, you can let me know publicly or privately. If you

stick to this decision, I can respect the decision and find a

replacement speaker and topic. Please let me know in either case.

> If you indeed made mistakes in some of your puzzle attempts and

mispresented a not-really-blind analysis as a blind analysis, it is

indeed a bad thing. I do not support such behavior. However, you

have realized your error and vowed to not repeat it. In my mind, the

issue is closed. The rest is between you and your God(dess). I have

enough issues between myself and my own Goddess that it will be

foolish of me to intervene in your issues or pronounce judgments.

When I myself am caught in the web of Moha and other shadripus (six

internal enemies) and struggling to overcome one weakness after the

other, it will be foolish of me to judge you or others.

mistakes. But only some accept them and progress. Don't be emotional

about the criticism. Take the lessons in a positive and productive

way (and not a destructive way) and move on. You will bring

excellent name to your guru and to our institution. I say this

whether or not you withdraw your decision.

in English language, there will be a suprirse treat for the lovers

and connoisseurs of Sanskrit language, who value the place of

Sanskrit language in Jyotish literature!
