Jaya Jagannatha

Dear Yadusreshthaji,

Thank you for informing this forum about such a foolish thing. The Jyotish

Parampara is traced from Maharishi Parasara who is the father of Vyasadeva

and the co-author of the Rig Veda. Those who think they know better than

Maharishi are totally foolish and in darkness. Remember the words of

Parasara..those who shall belittle this sacred Shastra shall come under the

curse of Vishnu and shall surely be born blind.

Another thing is that the present generation of Jyotisha like myself trace

our Parampara from Sri Achyuta Dasa the direct disciple of Sri Chaitanya

Mahaprabhu. Thus, Jyotisha is a Vedanga and it is the Chakshyu..EYES. These

are blind people and I can only pity their ignorance. Let us forgive them.

Best Regards,

Sanjay Rath
