Guest guest Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 Respected Mr. Vijayananda, In a diffeent post in reply to Mr.Surya Rao's letter about "condemning the bible of astrology" it has been proved and demonstrated without an iota of doubt that the Parasharis galore available in the market today, including the one with English translation, are anything but real Parashari since Maharshi Parashara has never claimed anywhere that he even believed in astrology, leave alone writing a treatise on it. There is no manuscript available anywhere in any library of the world about any BPHS. The Sunapha, Anapha and Durdhura yogas etc. that have been delieneated in the BHPS (including the one with English translation) are a ditto copy from Varahamihira's Brihat Jatakam. These yogas are certainly of Greek origin -- nay in Greek terminology itself! Obviously, the Parasharis available in the market,including the one with English translation, are much later works than that of Brhat Jatakam of Varahamihira. If Brihat Jatakam itself is a work of about 500 AD, it means Parashari is a much later work, and probably just a work of eighteenth/nineteenth century, since the Mumbai edition wants us to follow Grahalaghava Ayanamsha! Sita ram Jha's edition is of a much later date. Now if all the so called indigenous works of astrology are of a much later date than fifth century AD, I do not know how you say that the Greek words like Sunapha, Anapha etc. are contemporaneous with the Vedic age which is said to be AT LEAST OF 3000 BCE! Regarding the Greek system of astrology, they are very much visible in India in the form of Romaka and Paulisha Sidhanta etc. so much so that the Surya Sidhanta itself admits unabashedly that it was propagted by some "Maya", which is a Greek name! There is no other work of planetary calculations available in India prior to the Surya Sidhanta as adumberated by Varahamihira in his Pancha Sidhantika! Clearly, the Greek influence is there for everybody to see, unless we choose not to see it! Secondly, Babylon was the main cradle of astrology about 4000 BCE and it was from there that the Greeks inherited it! Fortunately, India had not been visited by such a "predictive malady" till the advent of Greeks into India either in the form of Alexander the Great's invasion or prior to that in the form of Greek ambassadors etc. I m sure you know that yesteryears' Babylon is modern Iraq, thanks to their extraordinary belief in astrology! It is a tragic fact that we are following in their footsteps! Dhanyavad.

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 Dear brother jyotishi or if you prefer -- Dear friend Jyotishi, Whether there is/was a real, hand-stamped, blue-stamped authentic version of BPHS or not can only be emphatically stated by the one how has actually seen one. Until then, why don't we count our blessings and be thankful for: a) what we have received, all of those translations and versions of BPHS, faults and all. b) Teachers and elders and a few who have just been mucking around for a few years, some on this group and some who are not on any groups but who write here and there because they just want to share! c) Many/most<?> of us are not 24/7 jyotishis so what is this big deal about proving a thing and rigidity? Let us just seek and share and let the chips fall where/when they may and I can assure you that WHEN will be way beyond our lifetimes! Anyone run into Kalidasa, Bhattotpala, Mukunda Vallabha or even Raman, Sastry, Krishnamurthi, Seshadri Iyer, Irangati etc, lately? They live through their research and writing! HINT!
