Yadu-srestha prabhu

PAMHO AGT Srila Prabhupada

Thanks for your very informative reply to my queries; most helpful. Followup:

 

 

<<(2) Goravani's program which sells for around 300$ has an excellent

reputation . He is a Vaisnava so if you want first class software it is

nice to support someone who us trying to preach Krishna consciousness

through astrology .>>

Although I won't be able to put out $300 bucks for a program for awhile,

I may later consider it if it fills a need. What does it do for that much

laxmi? Do you know anybody using it? (Is Goravani also connected to SJVA?

What is his full name?)

 

<<If you just want basic chart calculations Shyamasundara

Prabhu has a free program on his conference .Sanjay Rath has free software

Jagganth Hora Lite which can be downloaded off the internet .>>

 

As it turns out, I just downloaded JHL last week and have just generated

a chart. Looks good. (Now if I could get somebody to interpet....)

However, I do believe the author is PVN(R?) Rao, living near Boston, not

Sanjay, whose name is Sharma. (Rao considers him one of his three siksha

gurus, along with his father and BV Raman.) If that is "Lite", is there a

full vs.?.

 

<<There is also free software called Junior Jyotish from Brian Conrad which

can be

downloaded from the internet . This program calculates according to the

Systems Approach of Professor V.K .Choudhry .>>

 

Could you give the gist of his "Systems Approach"?

 

<<(3) Light on Life by Hart de Fowe and Robert Svaboda is a very good

introductory book.>>

 

Great reinforcement: I just ordere it, along with The Greatness of

Saturn, and started reading it within the last week! They really get to the

heart and soul of their subject. Some questions: They say you ultimately

need to learn from a personal guru-not a ritvik:)-and master Sanskrit. What

do you think?

 

 

<<B.V.Raman and K.N.Rao have the greatest reputaions as far as predictive

astrology goes and therefore their books are worth including but they can be

hard to follow .

Also one should be aware that B.V.Raman wrote books on some subjects where

he wasn't fully expert (more to introduce the subject matter ) . As a pioneer

he wanted to introduce a lot of material but there are many errors in his

books .>>

 

I just ordered a number of Raman's inexpensive paperbacks, so

perhaps-when time permits-you can give this conference more of an overview so

we can benefit from your experience. Also, could you give a short list of

some classic works that should be read/consulted? Is there on book that

includes an extensive glossary of terms? Some from a Pachangam(?) lists

Gulika, Yama, Rahu and Mooleamnea with time periods opposite to them; than

Ganesh, Muruga, Nataraja alongside a color or gem? Devaloka time? Bhuloka

day? (I figured out the Nakshastras, for Moon and Asc., Tithis etc.)

Para dukhe dukhi!
