Guest guest Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 Dear List Member, Namaste. If you are interested in vedic astrological software, I would like to recommend you to try this free opensource software which is known as "Maitreya's Dream" : http://www.saravali.de/maitreya/index.html I am not related to the creators of this software and their organisation and gain no benefit from them for recommending this software to others. The last time I tried this software was about one and a half year ago in January 2005 (version 3.2.1). It had a lot of potential but were marred by a few show-stopping bugs. A few weeks later, a historic announcement was made on 23 February 2005 - a full commercial-strength and feature-rich vedic astrological software was released free - Jagannatha Hora 7 (aka Jhora). Since then, Jhora 7 didn't give me much reasons to go back to the free Maitreya's Dream or other commercial software for that matter. I have since forgotten about Maitreya's Dream until a couple of days ago when something triggered my memory of this software and I decided to check it out for its latest developments. I am happy to inform you that its latest Version 4 (build date 27 May 2006) is very much improved compared to Version 3. Many parts of this program has been rewritten, many new features added and many bugs squashed. For more info about this software, please visit its official website as mentioned above. The following are a few things you may want to try out while accessing this software : At its top menu bar : - go to "Extras - Configuration - General" and set your default location. - go to "Extras - Configuration - Appearance" and set "Default Printout" to "Vedic Comprehensive". - go to "Extras - Configuration - Advanced" and check the box "Use Multiple View (Experimental)" and change "view" to "VedicComprehensive". - click on the "OK" to apply the settings. - go to "Extras" and select "Save Configuration". - go to "Extras" and select "Show Statusbar". At the status bar, you can now see real-time animated info of Ascendent and Moon longitudes, the sign they are in and how many percentage of Moon's Nakshatra has transpired. You may want to resize this main window smaller and drag this window to a corner in your desktop screen so that you can monitor these real-time info quickly while doing your current work in the foreground (e.g. typing documents, surfing the web). - create a new chart or your own chart and compare the accuracy of the info with your favourite software. - right mouse-click on the chart and try the various options available. - go to "Extras - Ephemeris" and try the various options available. Jhora is still my primary astrological software and upon further experimenting, Maitreya's Dream may turn out to be a very good complimentary second choice. Hope you have fun experimenting with this software. Thank you. Regards, Gary SJC(Singapore) ~ om tat sat ~ Thank you for maintaining the decorum of the Achyuta Ashram. Reminders: (1) Recite the Shadakshari Mantra 'Hare Rama Krishna' (2) Try to become Vegetarian - remember Akbar the Great who said that the human stomach should not become a graveyard for animals. (3) Practise charity in thought and deed - do one free chart reading today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
