It will be nice and helpful for students of Vedic astrology like me if you start Astrology classes in your groups which will teach Astrology from base. Learning with help of books makes it difficult when you come across a query where no one is there to explain it. So its my humble request to all Learned members if possible please start astrology classes. In this way the ancient knowledge will spread and will remain alive.

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 Respected Rohini Ji, (1) <<<Insisting that there is a 100% perfect system which only rests on belief and cannot ever be demonstrated because no Human being can be 100% accurate! Is that what they mean when they call something a paradox or 'catch-22'?>>> It does not rest on belief alone. I accepted the invitation of GB Prashant Ji and wasted many weeks to prepare dozens of case studies <http://jyotirvidya.wetpaint.com/page/Annual+Rains> ( http://jyotirvidya.wetpaint.com/page/Annual+Rains & c) for comparing the ancient method (which some persons wrongly call MY method). You know this well. No one came forward to disprove my work. My time was wasted, because those who asked me to put forth evidences simply neglected to look at them. You are making a wrong statement ( " 100% perfect system ... cannot ever be demonstrated " ) : I insisted in AIA on demonstration but was answered with abuses. In JR I was civillay asked to demonstrate, and when I did so, my work was simply ignored because it made some persons uncomfortable, who cannot give up their own 100% perfect system. Should I remind you that you have faith in accuracy of your system because all erroneous predictions later prove to be correct during post-event analyses (it was your statement, and I support it, hence there is no need of arguing). But there is a differwence between your " perfect " system and mine : you work on a system due to your faith in it and refuse to test the alternative because the majority (according to you) is on your side. I do not have such a blind faith on any system. I had 100% faith in the applicability of physical astronomy for the sake of astrology, but unlike you I found that physical astronomy does not provide 100% accurate results even in post-event analyses. Then I experimented with alternatives. I made softwares along many methods available to me. It took me decades to resolve the issue. But if you imagine me to be an obscuratist bigot, I cannot and do not want to change your opinion. (2) <<< If people in Kaliyuga, mostly sinners by your understanding...>>> I did not write Indian scriptures and ancient texts of Vedic Astrology which you use. Most of persons in Kaliyuga are sinners according to ancient texts, and you know this very well. I wonder why you are wasting your time in twisting arguments for making fool of me. It is only during the Modern Age that these sinners have attained sufficient majority and boldness to declare ancients as idiots or at least under-developed because they preached sanyaasa, daana, indriya-nigraha, brahmacharya, etc. Sage Parashara did not create only Ashtakavarga for Kaliyuga, but all his works were for Kaliyuga, because he wrote at the fag end of Dvaapar-yuga. Kaliyuga can be saved from perdition only by following Sage Parashara (again, it is not my personal opinion alone, cf : Kalau Parashara Smrtau). I know you are a benevolent person basically, but sometimes you become harsh unknowingly. Now, I must declare one thing which I had never mentioned : I made Kundalee Software in 2005, but deliberately kept it away from internet till late 2008. During that interval, I distributed it through CDs , mainly in UP, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, etc, avoiding cities like Delhi where educated persons could not tolerate the mention of Suryasiddhanta due to prolonged propaganda against it. AIA invited me, but consistently refused to test my work empirically. Same thing happened in JR too, although here I was never abused. GB Prashant Ji was very enthusistic initially when he thought demonstration of case studies by me will give others a chance to test my work. But members here could not find time to review my work which wasted many weeks. You have earlier charged me of evangelicism. I never wished to convert others to my system (in 2005, I wrote in my Hindi book that it is impossible to popularize a siddhanta of Satayuga in Kaliyuga). I made a software and presented it freely to others. That is all I had to do. It is for others to decide which system they like. But some persons started a war against me. It is undemocratic and unethical. Moreover, it is impossible to choke a voice merely by means of abusing. (3) In previous post, I deliberately avoided to call MY system as perfect which gave you so much pain. I simply said a perfect system exists. You had also claimed that post-event analyses prove to be correct, which shows your full faith in perfection of Jyotisha (but I know you cannot prove all post-event analyses to be perfect by your method : I can demonstrate it empirically if you have time. I know you are too busy to waste your time on such topics). Now, let us forget these useless topics which you should not have raised. You know I am now gradually leaving all internet fora. Instead of bickring over perfection of my or your system, can you ponder over questions whether there are 16 or 60 vargas, which dashaa should be used for what purpose, etc. It will better suit your genius. You are a fine astrologer : your field is Phalita and I value your contribution to Phalita Jyotisha. My main field was Ganita Jyotisha, but I devoted years in Phalita researches too. If you concentrate on your work in Phalita it will be good for all of us. Ganita Jyotisha cannot and should not be discussed on internet. It is an obscure subject ( " rahasyam Brahma samjnitam " ). Ganita Jyotisha of Suryasiddhanta cannot be proven by means of empirical observation of planets. Its only proof is accuracy of Phalita. GB Prashantr Ji did well to ask me to demonstrate. I did so. The manner in which you and others ignored to comment on my demonstrations did not disencourage me, because I had anticipated such a response. But now I am really surprized at your comment that my system cannot be demonstrated. I demonstrated it, and can do so again, but I know you will ignore it again. I had renounced all my paternal property due to my personal ashrama, but I had kept a house aquired by my late mother for my sustenance. I am selling it now, for buying latest softwares which can allow me to make more user friendly programs. At present, I make softwares on Visual Basic- 6.0 which is 12 years old and creates problems in installations on later operating systems. It is a deliberate fault of Mircosoft that its Visual Basic- 6.0 does not work on all operating systems made bythge same company. The reaon is selling of newer versions by MS. I can not charge any fees for my astrological consultancy or software, hence I must sell my house. I do not know how I will sustain myself later, but I know I will face no difficulty : my horoscope says so. You may deem me to be a fool. (4) <<< from what I have heard from you a very accomplished...>>> I had to 'brag' about by accomplishments AFTER a dedicated team started shouting at me in a , refusing to test my method empirically. Why you did not enquire from those institutions which tested me before recognizing my works, before declaring that I advertize myself as an accomplished person ? You expelled me from your group withou any explicit reason and without informng or warning me, although I never argued for or against any system in your group and did not raise any serious issue because you told me that you did not want to discuss anything serious with me unless and until some relatives of Lord Macaulay accept my obscurantist ideas. If some of my words are harsh, please forgive me. I have no desire to convert you. What I really want is that you must test your system more thoroughly and give more of you to the public at large. I did not want to raise any debate on any particular system because I found memebers are not interested in reviewing case studies from me. I know the reason. Presently, the planets of MD and AD in my chart have bitter enmical aspect on 10th house, hence I will not be recognized by the majority even if my work is good. Hence, I cannot blame others. -VJ ======================= === , " rohinicrystal " <jyotish_vani wrote: > > Dear Vinay_jee, > > You are a very intelligent, well-read and from what I have heard from you a very accomplished (intellectually, and spiritually) being, so now I am a bit confused or at least taken aback when you now write: > > " No mortal can consistently make 100% correct predictions, even if all mathematical tables and charts are correctl;y drawn either manually or by means of computer.

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 Sir, Your's study about rains in india are missing the actual astrological cause, far away from truth, however effort is good.

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2009 Report Share Posted December 19, 2009 Vinay Jee, You are putting words in my mouth/keyboard. Please do not take everything so personally. The world is neither against you, nor the difficult path that you have chosen to follow (or perhaps were destined to)! Yes, you will run into people who will have their world-view and so on and there will be discord and arguments and debates etc. But please read my message. All I was saying was: If Astrologers are not capable by divine decree or whatever to be correct 100% of times, how can a system/any system be demonstrated or even claimed to be 100%? This is not to say that there might be 'systems' that might have better predictive ability than others. There may also be the possibility that some systems handle certain domains of predictions better than others. Hypothetically, some system may be able to handle horary astrology better than natal, while other system may be more attuned to doing mundane astrology etc. But that 'qualifier', if applicable, definitely can help. If such is the case. If the above does not seem a valid and reasonable question, then my apologies to you for making you feel 'attacked' or your integrity etc questioned by me, a stranger on internet, as far as we are concerned really!

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2009 Report Share Posted December 19, 2009 Dear Shri Jha, I came across the following line in your website:- //For instance, if Jupiter is in moolatrikona in a particular horoscope , it is highly auspicious on account of that. But if it is lord of 6th and 11th houses at the same time, it is highly malefic.// I am trying to locate the lagna for Jupiter to be lords of 6th and 11th houses at the same time. Kindly help me if I have gone wrong in understanding what you wrote. For Aquarius Lagna, Ju will be lords of 11 and 2 For Taurus Lagna, Ju will be lords of 8 and 11 For Libra Lagna, Ju will be lords of 3 and 6 For Cancer Lagna, Ju will be lords of 6 and 9. For other Lagna Ju will be lords of neither 6 nor 11. I request you to clarify my doubt. Regards Santhosh _____ On Behalf Of VJha Friday, December 18, 2009 11:54 PM Re: Vedic Astrology Respected Rohini Ji, (1) <<<Insisting that there is a 100% perfect system which only rests on belief and cannot ever be demonstrated because no Human being can be 100% accurate! Is that what they mean when they call something a paradox or 'catch-22'?>>> It does not rest on belief alone. I accepted the invitation of GB Prashant Ji and wasted many weeks to prepare dozens of case studies <http://jyotirvidya. <http://jyotirvidya.wetpaint.com/page/Annual+Rains> wetpaint.com/page/Annual+Rains> ( http://jyotirvidya. <http://jyotirvidya.wetpaint.com/page/Annual+Rains> wetpaint.com/page/Annual+Rains & c) for comparing the ancient method (which some persons wrongly call MY method). You know this well. No one came forward to disprove my work. My time was wasted, because those who asked me to put forth evidences simply neglected to look at them. You are making a wrong statement ( " 100% perfect system ... cannot ever be demonstrated " ) : I insisted in AIA on demonstration but was answered with abuses. In JR I was civillay asked to demonstrate, and when I did so, my work was simply ignored because it made some persons uncomfortable, who cannot give up their own 100% perfect system. Should I remind you that you have faith in accuracy of your system because all erroneous predictions later prove to be correct during post-event analyses (it was your statement, and I support it, hence there is no need of arguing). But there is a differwence between your " perfect " system and mine : you work on a system due to your faith in it and refuse to test the alternative because the majority (according to you) is on your side. I do not have such a blind faith on any system. I had 100% faith in the applicability of physical astronomy for the sake of astrology, but unlike you I found that physical astronomy does not provide 100% accurate results even in post-event analyses. Then I experimented with alternatives. I made softwares along many methods available to me. It took me decades to resolve the issue. But if you imagine me to be an obscuratist bigot, I cannot and do not want to change your opinion. (2) <<< If people in Kaliyuga, mostly sinners by your understanding...>>> I did not write Indian scriptures and ancient texts of Vedic Astrology which you use. Most of persons in Kaliyuga are sinners according to ancient texts, and you know this very well. I wonder why you are wasting your time in twisting arguments for making fool of me. It is only during the Modern Age that these sinners have attained sufficient majority and boldness to declare ancients as idiots or at least under-developed because they preached sanyaasa, daana, indriya-nigraha, brahmacharya, etc. Sage Parashara did not create only Ashtakavarga for Kaliyuga, but all his works were for Kaliyuga, because he wrote at the fag end of Dvaapar-yuga. Kaliyuga can be saved from perdition only by following Sage Parashara (again, it is not my personal opinion alone, cf : Kalau Parashara Smrtau). I know you are a benevolent person basically, but sometimes you become harsh unknowingly. Now, I must declare one thing which I had never mentioned : I made Kundalee Software in 2005, but deliberately kept it away from internet till late 2008. During that interval, I distributed it through CDs , mainly in UP, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, etc, avoiding cities like Delhi where educated persons could not tolerate the mention of Suryasiddhanta due to prolonged propaganda against it. AIA invited me, but consistently refused to test my work empirically. Same thing happened in JR too, although here I was never abused. GB Prashant Ji was very enthusistic initially when he thought demonstration of case studies by me will give others a chance to test my work. But members here could not find time to review my work which wasted many weeks. You have earlier charged me of evangelicism. I never wished to convert others to my system (in 2005, I wrote in my Hindi book that it is impossible to popularize a siddhanta of Satayuga in Kaliyuga). I made a software and presented it freely to others. That is all I had to do. It is for others to decide which system they like. But some persons started a war against me. It is undemocratic and unethical. Moreover, it is impossible to choke a voice merely by means of abusing. (3) In previous post, I deliberately avoided to call MY system as perfect which gave you so much pain. I simply said a perfect system exists. You had also claimed that post-event analyses prove to be correct, which shows your full faith in perfection of Jyotisha (but I know you cannot prove all post-event analyses to be perfect by your method : I can demonstrate it empirically if you have time. I know you are too busy to waste your time on such topics). Now, let us forget these useless topics which you should not have raised. You know I am now gradually leaving all internet fora. Instead of bickring over perfection of my or your system, can you ponder over questions whether there are 16 or 60 vargas, which dashaa should be used for what purpose, etc. It will better suit your genius. You are a fine astrologer : your field is Phalita and I value your contribution to Phalita Jyotisha. My main field was Ganita Jyotisha, but I devoted years in Phalita researches too. If you concentrate on your work in Phalita it will be good for all of us. Ganita Jyotisha cannot and should not be discussed on internet. It is an obscure subject ( " rahasyam Brahma samjnitam " ). Ganita Jyotisha of Suryasiddhanta cannot be proven by means of empirical observation of planets. Its only proof is accuracy of Phalita. GB Prashantr Ji did well to ask me to demonstrate. I did so. The manner in which you and others ignored to comment on my demonstrations did not disencourage me, because I had anticipated such a response. But now I am really surprized at your comment that my system cannot be demonstrated. I demonstrated it, and can do so again, but I know you will ignore it again. I had renounced all my paternal property due to my personal ashrama, but I had kept a house aquired by my late mother for my sustenance. I am selling it now, for buying latest softwares which can allow me to make more user friendly programs. At present, I make softwares on Visual Basic- 6.0 which is 12 years old and creates problems in installations on later operating systems. It is a deliberate fault of Mircosoft that its Visual Basic- 6.0 does not work on all operating systems made bythge same company. The reaon is selling of newer versions by MS. I can not charge any fees for my astrological consultancy or software, hence I must sell my house. I do not know how I will sustain myself later, but I know I will face no difficulty : my horoscope says so. You may deem me to be a fool. (4) <<< from what I have heard from you a very accomplished...>>> I had to 'brag' about by accomplishments AFTER a dedicated team started shouting at me in a , refusing to test my method empirically. Why you did not enquire from those institutions which tested me before recognizing my works, before declaring that I advertize myself as an accomplished person ? You expelled me from your group withou any explicit reason and without informng or warning me, although I never argued for or against any system in your group and did not raise any serious issue because you told me that you did not want to discuss anything serious with me unless and until some relatives of Lord Macaulay accept my obscurantist ideas. If some of my words are harsh, please forgive me. I have no desire to convert you. What I really want is that you must test your system more thoroughly and give more of you to the public at large. I did not want to raise any debate on any particular system because I found memebers are not interested in reviewing case studies from me. I know the reason. Presently, the planets of MD and AD in my chart have bitter enmical aspect on 10th house, hence I will not be recognized by the majority even if my work is good. Hence, I cannot blame others. -VJ ======================= === @ <%40> , " rohinicrystal " <jyotish_vani wrote: > > Dear Vinay_jee, > > You are a very intelligent, well-read and from what I have heard from you a very accomplished (intellectually, and spiritually) being, so now I am a bit confused or at least taken aback when you now write: > > " No mortal can consistently make 100% correct predictions, even if all mathematical tables and charts are correctl;y drawn either manually or by means of computer.

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2009 Report Share Posted December 19, 2009 Rohini Da, I believe you are sincere and I take my words back. Your words were : <<< If Astrologers are not capable by divine decree or whatever to be correct 100% of times, how can a system/any system be demonstrated or even claimed to be 100%? >>> The answer is simple : by means of post-event analysis, it is easy to find out whether the error was due to faults in astrological system or in the human limitation of astrologwer in using that system. I have faltered many a times in making correct forecasts, and sometimes my forecasts even proved to be just contrary to reality, sometimes due to hurry and at some accassions due to limitations of present day Phalita Jyotisha. For instance, how can we decide which chart should get primacy in predicting an event if the birth-chart, relavant varga, varsha-pravesha chart, AV, etc provide contradictory readings, and how we should decide which dashaa system to follow under which conditions ??? These limitations do not prove that the software was flawed. a software is basically a mathematical system and no phalita system has ever been adequately programmed by anyone : most of the phalita jobs are manually done by the astrologer. In post-event analysis, it is not difficult for experienced persons like you to decide whether the error, if any, in predictions was due to mathematical system or due to limitations of phalita. If my words caused you pain, I apologise. -VJ ====================== ==== , " rohinicrystal " <jyotish_vani wrote: > > Vinay Jee, > > You are putting words in my mouth/keyboard. Please do not take everything so personally. The world is neither against you, nor the difficult path that you have chosen to follow (or perhaps were destined to)! Yes, you will run into people who will have their world-view and so on and there will be discord and arguments and debates etc. But please read my message. All I was saying was: > > If Astrologers are not capable by divine decree or whatever to be correct 100% of times, how can a system/any system be demonstrated or even claimed to be 100%? > > This is not to say that there might be 'systems' that might have better predictive ability than others. There may also be the possibility that some systems handle certain domains of predictions better than others. Hypothetically, some system may be able to handle horary astrology better than natal, while other system may be more attuned to doing mundane astrology etc. But that 'qualifier', if applicable, definitely can help.

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2009 Report Share Posted December 19, 2009 Santhosh ji, The following page <http://jyotirvidya.wetpaint.com/page/Vimshottari+Dasha> contained this statement : http://jyotirvidya.wetpaint.com/page/Vimshottari+Dasha " if Jupiter is in moolatrikona in a particular horoscope , it is highly auspicious on account of that. But if it is lord of 6th and 11th houses at the same time, it is highly malefic. This erroneous sentence has been revised as : " if Jupiter is in moolatrikona in a particular horoscope , it is highly auspicious on account of that. But if it is lord of 3rd and 6th houses at the same time, it is highly malefic as well. " You pointed at one error, for which I thank you. I wrote this line with a particular chart in mind which I could not reveal, and the unconscious desire to hide that name led to this typo error. -VJ ===================== == , " Santhosh " <santhosh wrote: > > Dear Shri Jha, > > > > I came across the following line in your website:- > > //For instance, if Jupiter is in moolatrikona in a particular horoscope , it > is highly auspicious on account of that.

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2009 Report Share Posted December 19, 2009 Utkal Ji, If you refer to my paper <http://jyotirvidya.wetpaint.com/page/NASA%27s_Report%3B_%26_my_Paper_ac\ cepted_by_CAOS%2C_IISc> 'A New Approach to Rain Forecasting <http://weatherindia.wetpaint.com/page/A+New+approach+to+Rain+Forecastin\ g> ' , then you are correct. This paper was accepted by CAOS, Indian Institute of Science and was addressed to weather scientists. Hence, there was no question of mentionimng astrology in this paper. But if you are referring to This Page <http://jyotirvidya.wetpaint.com/page/Annual+Rains> which I had mentioned in previous post, which seems more likely, then I must assert that you entertain entirely different notions of astrology. All 40 charts have been analysed strictly according to traditional rules of jyotisha, esp according to BPHS. Yet you say " Your's study about rains in india are missing the actual astrological cause, far away from truth " . If traditional method of chart analysis is beyond the scope of astrology, then I must assume you practise some non-Indian variety of astrology which has no use of accepted methods of vedic Jyotisha. But this is not the case, because you also charge of untruth ( " far away from truth " ). I have provided links for original rainfall data and if my method is biological or chemical instead of astrological, then you should provide some astrological explanation for the official rainfall data. I know you cannot, which is clear from your third statement : " Problem with such post-event analysis is, one can successfully insist on his findings whether applicable or not " Post-event analysis by me can be brushed aside as my manipulation of data or method, as you say, while pre-event predictions by me which have been tested by Climate branch of NASA headquarters in USA and IMD in India (cf. http://jyotirvidya.wetpaint.com/page/NASA%27s_Report%3B_%26_my_Paper_acc\ epted_by_CAOS%2C_IISc) are proofs of the veracity of my method. If you compel NASA to agree even to waste its precious time on your rain forecasts, then I will resign from Jyotisha. Sir, I know the cause of your anguish. I used JHORA for Drik-pakshiya charts. You might have imagined that I wanted to disprove JHORA. But I explicitly mentioned that I used JHORA for the following reason : " JHora software can be used for Drig-pakshiya computations (ie, based on physical astronomy). JHora uses astronomical database supplied by Swiss Ephemeris, the latter being based on NASA's JPL datasets, which are most reliable data of modern physical astronomy. A simplified software of Swiss Ephemeris can be freely downloaded by anyone, which shows half a minute errors. Hence JHora is reliable as far as physical planetary positions are concerned. " Hence, I was not biased. It is you who is biased. You portray me as an untrue non-astrologer ( " missing the actual astrological cause, far away from truth " ). Ask Jagannath Puri's Govardhana Math which is publishing panchanga prepared by me. Instead of finding any specific fault in any specific chart analysis by me, you are throwing me and my works entirely at one go, levelling uncivil charges, without even trying to provide any evidence of my faults. Hence, your charges are merely libel and not review of my work. You forget there are strich Cyber Laws for preventing libel in internet fora, and every person can be easily traced. But I will noty waste my time on such endeavours. What you consider to be " astrological cause " can be anybody's guess, but I am sure your astrology is certainly not based on what all Vedic Asgtrologers are practising. there are many astrologers who differ from me on mathematical groulds, but you are the first person who have charged my analysis of " missing the actual astrological cause, far away from truth " !! I know many persons are distorting Vedic Astrology and some of their disciples are so ill-educated by these self proclaimed gurus that they regard traditional methods as non-0astrological. As you have not clarified your asterological moorings, I do not know which school you belong to. I hope you will try to avoid insulting remarks and try to confine your comments to actual criticism of chart analysis by me or by others. If I am false, you must provide proofs, otherwise any vague charge is mere abuse. -VJ ================ ==== , " utkal.panigrahi " <utkal.panigrahi wrote: > > Sir, > > Your's study about rains in india are missing the actual astrological cause, far away from truth, however effort is good. > > Problem with such post event analysis is, one can successfully insist on his findings whether applicable of not applicable. > > regards, > Utkal > > , " VJha " vinayjhaa16@ wrote: > > > > Respected Rohini Ji, > > > > (1) > > <<<Insisting that there is a 100% perfect system which only rests on > > belief and cannot ever be demonstrated because no Human being can be > > 100% accurate!

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2009 Report Share Posted December 19, 2009 Dear Vinay ji I have been keenly following your post and i hope you can if you don't mind give your birth details for my study regards Girish --- On Sat, 12/19/09, VJha <vinayjhaa16 wrote: VJha <vinayjhaa16 Re: Vedic Astrology Saturday, December 19, 2009, 5:49 AM  Utkal Ji, If you refer to my paper <http://jyotirvidya. wetpaint. com/page/ NASA%27s_ Report%3B_ %26_my_Paper_ ac\ cepted_by_CAOS% 2C_IISc> 'A New Approach to Rain Forecasting <http://weatherindia .wetpaint. com/page/ A+New+approach+ to+Rain+Forecast in\ g> ' , then you are correct. This paper was accepted by CAOS, Indian Institute of Science and was addressed to weather scientists. Hence, there was no question of mentionimng astrology in this paper. But if you are referring to This Page <http://jyotirvidya. wetpaint. com/page/ Annual+Rains> which I had mentioned in previous post, which seems more likely, then I must assert that you entertain entirely different notions of astrology. All 40 charts have been analysed strictly according to traditional rules of jyotisha, esp according to BPHS. Yet you say " Your's study about rains in india are missing the actual astrological cause, far away from truth " . If traditional method of chart analysis is beyond the scope of astrology, then I must assume you practise some non-Indian variety of astrology which has no use of accepted methods of vedic Jyotisha. But this is not the case, because you also charge of untruth ( " far away from truth " ). I have provided links for original rainfall data and if my method is biological or chemical instead of astrological, then you should provide some astrological explanation for the official rainfall data. I know you cannot, which is clear from your third statement : " Problem with such post-event analysis is, one can successfully insist on his findings whether applicable or not " Post-event analysis by me can be brushed aside as my manipulation of data or method, as you say, while pre-event predictions by me which have been tested by Climate branch of NASA headquarters in USA and IMD in India (cf. http://jyotirvidya. wetpaint. com/page/ NASA%27s_ Report%3B_ %26_my_Paper_ acc\ epted_by_CAOS% 2C_IISc) are proofs of the veracity of my method. If you compel NASA to agree even to waste its precious time on your rain forecasts, then I will resign from Jyotisha. Sir, I know the cause of your anguish. I used JHORA for Drik-pakshiya charts. You might have imagined that I wanted to disprove JHORA. But I explicitly mentioned that I used JHORA for the following reason : " JHora software can be used for Drig-pakshiya computations (ie, based on physical astronomy). JHora uses astronomical database supplied by Swiss Ephemeris, the latter being based on NASA's JPL datasets, which are most reliable data of modern physical astronomy. A simplified software of Swiss Ephemeris can be freely downloaded by anyone, which shows half a minute errors. Hence JHora is reliable as far as physical planetary positions are concerned. " Hence, I was not biased. It is you who is biased. You portray me as an untrue non-astrologer ( " missing the actual astrological cause, far away from truth " ). Ask Jagannath Puri's Govardhana Math which is publishing panchanga prepared by me. Instead of finding any specific fault in any specific chart analysis by me, you are throwing me and my works entirely at one go, levelling uncivil charges, without even trying to provide any evidence of my faults. Hence, your charges are merely libel and not review of my work. You forget there are strich Cyber Laws for preventing libel in internet fora, and every person can be easily traced. But I will noty waste my time on such endeavours. What you consider to be " astrological cause " can be anybody's guess, but I am sure your astrology is certainly not based on what all Vedic Asgtrologers are practising. there are many astrologers who differ from me on mathematical groulds, but you are the first person who have charged my analysis of " missing the actual astrological cause, far away from truth " !! I know many persons are distorting Vedic Astrology and some of their disciples are so ill-educated by these self proclaimed gurus that they regard traditional methods as non-0astrological. As you have not clarified your asterological moorings, I do not know which school you belong to. I hope you will try to avoid insulting remarks and try to confine your comments to actual criticism of chart analysis by me or by others. If I am false, you must provide proofs, otherwise any vague charge is mere abuse. -VJ ============ ==== ==== , " utkal.panigrahi " <utkal.panigrahi@ ...> wrote: > > Sir, > > Your's study about rains in india are missing the actual astrological cause, far away from truth, however effort is good. > > Problem with such post event analysis is, one can successfully insist on his findings whether applicable of not applicable. > > regards, > Utkal > > , " VJha " vinayjhaa16@ wrote: > > > > Respected Rohini Ji, > > > > (1) > > <<<Insisting that there is a 100% perfect system which only rests on > > belief and cannot ever be demonstrated because no Human being can be > > 100% accurate!

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2009 Report Share Posted December 19, 2009 Dear Vinay ji, Your words to me have always been civilized and hopefully I have always reciprocated in kind. I do not easily get offended or hurt or react even when people use accusatory, insulting trashy/gutter language! And I have seen many examples of that on internet. So, how can I be offended or upset by what you said? " Getting back to the sheep " as the French expression goes, yes you have a very simple way of testing the 100% accuracy post-hoc, but here is the problem: Astrological rules; in my experiences personal, observed in others or heard from them; are not black and white and thus while one can 'justify' events but the same 'khichdi' can be cooked in many different ways (thok-peet jyotish as I have heard it being referred as!) Please note, I do not mean some fancy, imaginative, human-engineered astrological system, but using straight forward jyotish rules from standard texts such as BPHS, Vrihatjataka, Phaldeepika, Laghu Parashari, Uttarkalamrita, Satyajataka, Jaimini sutras, and cautiously including Chandra Kala Nadi etc. Kind regards, Rohiniranjan , " VJha " <vinayjhaa16 wrote: > > Rohini Da, > > I believe you are sincere and I take my words back. Your words were : > > <<< If Astrologers are not capable by divine decree or whatever to be correct 100% of times, how can a system/any system be demonstrated or even claimed to be 100%? >>> > > The answer is simple : by means of post-event analysis, it is easy to find out whether the error was due to faults in astrological system or in the human limitation of astrologwer in using that system. I have faltered many a times in making correct forecasts, and sometimes my forecasts even proved to be just contrary to reality, sometimes due to hurry and at some accassions due to limitations of present day Phalita Jyotisha. For instance, how can we decide which chart should get primacy in predicting an event if the birth-chart, relavant varga, varsha-pravesha chart, AV, etc provide contradictory readings, and how we should decide which dashaa system to follow under which conditions ??? These limitations do not prove that the software was flawed. a software is basically a mathematical system and no phalita system has ever been adequately programmed by anyone : most of the phalita jobs are manually done by the astrologer. In post-event analysis, it is not difficult for experienced persons like you to decide whether the error, if any, in predictions was due to mathematical system or due to limitations of phalita. If my words caused you pain, I apologise. > > -VJ > ====================== ==== > , " rohinicrystal " <jyotish_vani@> wrote: > > > > Vinay Jee, > > > > You are putting words in my mouth/keyboard. Please do not take everything so personally. The world is neither against you, nor the difficult path that you have chosen to follow (or perhaps were destined to)! Yes, you will run into people who will have their world-view and so on and there will be discord and arguments and debates etc. But please read my message. All I was saying was: > > > > If Astrologers are not capable by divine decree or whatever to be correct 100% of times, how can a system/any system be demonstrated or even claimed to be 100%? > > > > This is not to say that there might be 'systems' that might have better predictive ability than others. There may also be the possibility that some systems handle certain domains of predictions better than others. Hypothetically, some system may be able to handle horary astrology better than natal, while other system may be more attuned to doing mundane astrology etc. But that 'qualifier', if applicable, definitely can help.

Guest guest Posted December 20, 2009 Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 Rohini Da, You are right. I have also experienced same sort of khichdi analyses, not only by others but even by me. I sometimes learn and improve my phalita errors by means of post-event analyses. But I have NEVER found a single case of Ganita-error, esp after Kundalee software was in workable form, and all errors hitherto caught by me are about phalita. That is why I call my ganita system foolproof. Many people think it to be a far-fetched claim. They fail to see my point that even a 100% perfect ganita system can give 100% wrong phalita (predictive) result, sometimes due to limitations of the astrologer and sometimes due to built-in obscurities and ambiguities in traditional phalita jyotisha itself which you mention. The moment you start testing this alternative ganita model, you will see my point. Without testing, all discussion is mere gossip. I am trying to sell my house to purchase new platforms for updating my software for various operating systems. I belong to one of the topmost families of my home state.

I have faltered many a times in making correct forecasts, and sometimes my forecasts even proved to be just contrary to reality, sometimes due to hurry and at some accassions due to limitations of present day Phalita Jyotisha. For instance, how can we decide which chart should get primacy in predicting an event if the birth-chart, relavant varga, varsha-pravesha chart, AV, etc provide contradictory readings, and how we should decide which dashaa system to follow under which conditions ??? These limitations do not prove that the software was flawed. a software is basically a mathematical system and no phalita system has ever been adequately programmed by anyone : most of the phalita jobs are manually done by the astrologer. In post-event analysis, it is not difficult for experienced persons like you to decide whether the error, if any, in predictions was due to mathematical system or due to limitations of phalita. If my words caused you pain, I apologise. > > > > -VJ > > ====================== ==== > > , " rohinicrystal " <jyotish_vani@> wrote: > > > > > > Vinay Jee, > > > > > > You are putting words in my mouth/keyboard. Please do not take everything so personally. The world is neither against you, nor the difficult path that you have chosen to follow (or perhaps were destined to)! Yes, you will run into people who will have their world-view and so on and there will be discord and arguments and debates etc. But please read my message. All I was saying was: > > > > > > If Astrologers are not capable by divine decree or whatever to be correct 100% of times, how can a system/any system be demonstrated or even claimed to be 100%? > > > > > > This is not to say that there might be 'systems' that might have better predictive ability than others. There may also be the possibility that some systems handle certain domains of predictions better than others. Hypothetically, some system may be able to handle horary astrology better than natal, while other system may be more attuned to doing mundane astrology etc. But that 'qualifier', if applicable, definitely can help.

Guest guest Posted December 20, 2009 Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 Dear Sirs, May be it is either comrehension or our own built in ability(dasa system too had to be kept in view) before v attempt to summarise: "  //due to built-inobscurities and ambiguities in traditional phalita jyotisha itself which you mention " //. Probably theoritical by way of lineage the system is unparallel.But contradictions if any it beyond our consistentencies Vattem Krishnan Cyber Jyotish Services (For all counseling services) Dr.B.V.Raman " Fools Obey Planets While  Wisemen Can Control Them " Planets are neutral Controllers of Mans Karma  --- On Sun, 12/20/09, VJha <vinayjhaa16 wrote: VJha <vinayjhaa16 Re: Vedic Astrology Sunday, December 20, 2009, 10:50 AM  Rohini Da, You are right. I have also experienced same sort of khichdi analyses, not only by others but even by me. I sometimes learn and improve my phalita errors by means of post-event analyses. But I have NEVER found a single case of Ganita-error, esp after Kundalee software was in workable form, and all errors hitherto caught by me are about phalita. That is why I call my ganita system foolproof. Many people think it to be a far-fetched claim. They fail to see my point that even a 100% perfect ganita system can give 100% wrong phalita (predictive) result, sometimes due to limitations of the astrologer and sometimes due to built-in obscurities and ambiguities in traditional phalita jyotisha itself which you mention. The moment you start testing this alternative ganita model, you will see my point. Without testing, all discussion is mere gossip. I am trying to sell my house to purchase new platforms for updating my software for various operating systems. I belong to one of the topmost families of my home state. But I renounced paternal heritage long ago (not only property, but even ideological 'heritage'). That is why I have to sell my house now. I am not going to lose anything by selling it. -VJ ============ ========= === === , " rohinicrystal " <jyotish_vani@ ...> wrote: > > Dear Vinay ji, > > Your words to me have always been civilized and hopefully I have always reciprocated in kind.

I have faltered many a times in making correct forecasts, and sometimes my forecasts even proved to be just contrary to reality, sometimes due to hurry and at some accassions due to limitations of present day Phalita Jyotisha. For instance, how can we decide which chart should get primacy in predicting an event if the birth-chart, relavant varga, varsha-pravesha chart, AV, etc provide contradictory readings, and how we should decide which dashaa system to follow under which conditions ??? These limitations do not prove that the software was flawed. a software is basically a mathematical system and no phalita system has ever been adequately programmed by anyone : most of the phalita jobs are manually done by the astrologer. In post-event analysis, it is not difficult for experienced persons like you to decide whether the error, if any, in predictions was due to mathematical system or due to limitations of phalita. If my words caused you pain, I apologise. > > > > -VJ > > ============ ========= = ==== > > , " rohinicrystal " <jyotish_vani@ > wrote: > > > > > > Vinay Jee, > > > > > > You are putting words in my mouth/keyboard. Please do not take everything so personally. The world is neither against you, nor the difficult path that you have chosen to follow (or perhaps were destined to)! Yes, you will run into people who will have their world-view and so on and there will be discord and arguments and debates etc. But please read my message. All I was saying was: > > > > > > If Astrologers are not capable by divine decree or whatever to be correct 100% of times, how can a system/any system be demonstrated or even claimed to be 100%? > > > > > > This is not to say that there might be 'systems' that might have better predictive ability than others. There may also be the possibility that some systems handle certain domains of predictions better than others. Hypothetically, some system may be able to handle horary astrology better than natal, while other system may be more attuned to doing mundane astrology etc. But that 'qualifier', if applicable, definitely can help.

Guest guest Posted December 20, 2009 Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 Vattem Krishnan ji, The system is indeed unparalleled as you say, but there are some obscurities without which the traditional phalita system would have ALWAYS enabled all learned vedic Jyotishis to make 100% accurate predictions. Some of these obscurities are intentional : sages wrote in sutra form and explanations were oral taught only to the chosen disciples which have not been explained in modern commentaries properly, whatever be the reason. Another source of confusion is interpolation or distorion by later authors (in BPHS & c). Third cause is loss of some portions. Whatever be the cause, it is undeniable that our phalita theory is not completely explained in any existing commentary, for instance of BPHS. For instance, WHY all planets have full aspect on the opposite house ? Why Vimshottari span is of 120 years ? Why 7th house is of Kaama and not of income or of learning ? Unless we understand all such things properly, we cannot claim to have a complete theory. A theory must be completely understandable. Same is the case with our traditional Ganita theory. Burgess wrote that he could not understand why four samskaaras in a particular sequence were made to make true planets out of mean. But it does not mean our traditional jyotisha is incomplete or flawed. It only means that we possess it in a sutra form and we lack fuller explanations of many concepts. The very nature of phalita rules & c suggests that we will never be able to logically explain all such things completely. But we must try. -VJ ================ ==== , Vattem Krishnan <bursar_99 wrote: > > Dear Sirs, > May be it is either comrehension or our own built in ability(dasa system too had to be kept in view) before v attempt to summarise: > "  //due to built-inobscurities and ambiguities in traditional phalita jyotisha itself which > you mention " //. > Probably theoritical by way of lineage the system is unparallel.But contradictions if any it beyond our consistentencies > > > > Vattem Krishnan > Cyber Jyotish Services > (For all counseling services) > Dr.B.V.Raman " Fools Obey Planets While  Wisemen Can Control Them " > Planets are neutral Controllers of Mans Karma >  > > --- On Sun, 12/20/09, VJha vinayjhaa16 wrote: > > > VJha vinayjhaa16 > Re: Vedic Astrology > > Sunday, December 20, 2009, 10:50 AM > > >  > > > > Rohini Da, > > You are right.

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 Dear Shri Jha Ji and others We know that jyotsh is a divine field and whar ever it has been transmitted in the form of sruti and smriti has also desired/intended that an Astrologer should possess some basic comptencies.These basic comptetncies are with rference to: His broad nature to understand about planets mianly to harmony in thoughts and actions etc. his ability to understanding mathematics his ability understand leagal as Nyayavadi as well as logical aspect need for his impartiality approach and need also to be philosophical. also observe desh,kaal maan conditions maintaining strict confidentiality able to to explain required results with this back ground and the scholars who possess them and be able to give their satisfactory views fo a student to understand further: // we will never be able to logically explain all such thingscompletely.// 2.When they spoke about drishti they spoke about special aspecta of Planets Mangal,Shani and for all other planets inccluding visionaries it is always 7 the aspect.It is the mathemetical 90 deg,menat for 7th and a straight line aspect. Besides drishti of planets has different dimensions explained. All these issues perhaps difficult to in a capsulate form.Probably those gifted in to read in Sanskrit form might be able to understand but for communication in alogical manner might have hindered them.so they want readers/students/followers to come up with their own explicable methods. 3.Ultimately as the progression of knowledge is taking place from geneartion to generations,it has probably taking a tasty kichadi form leading to increased following of jyostih and evincing interest. 4.Perhaps when ever distortions r felt and observed knowlegeable people and seniors need to come forward with logical explanation,even it might looks to be not very cinvincing.Yet a divine field has some thing to conjure 'coz of human limitation. 5.people withh wisdom and perfect understanding made to explain what is necessary and leave to the wise men in the nextgen to eloberate and understand seems to be the approach. Vattem Krishnan Cyber Jyotish Services (For all counseling services) Dr.B.V.Raman " Fools Obey Planets While  Wisemen Can Control Them " Planets are neutral Controllers of Mans Karma  --- On Sun, 12/20/09, VJha <vinayjhaa16 wrote: VJha <vinayjhaa16 Re: Vedic Astrology Sunday, December 20, 2009, 12:00 PM  Vattem Krishnan ji, The system is indeed unparalleled as you say, but there are some obscurities without which the traditional phalita system would have ALWAYS enabled all learned vedic Jyotishis to make 100% accurate predictions. Some of these obscurities are intentional : sages wrote in sutra form and explanations were oral taught only to the chosen disciples which have not been explained in modern commentaries properly, whatever be the reason. Another source of confusion is interpolation or distorion by later authors (in BPHS & c). Third cause is loss of some portions. Whatever be the cause, it is undeniable that our phalita theory is not completely explained in any existing commentary, for instance of BPHS. For instance, WHY all planets have full aspect on the opposite house ? Why Vimshottari span is of 120 years ? Why 7th house is of Kaama and not of income or of learning ? Unless we understand all such things properly, we cannot claim to have a complete theory. A theory must be completely understandable. Same is the case with our traditional Ganita theory. Burgess wrote that he could not understand why four samskaaras in a particular sequence were made to make true planets out of mean. But it does not mean our traditional jyotisha is incomplete or flawed. It only means that we possess it in a sutra form and we lack fuller explanations of many concepts. The very nature of phalita rules & c suggests that we will never be able to logically explain all such things completely. But we must try. -VJ ============ ==== ==== , Vattem Krishnan <bursar_99@. ..> wrote: > > Dear Sirs, > May be it is either comrehension or our own built in ability(dasa system too had to be kept in view) before v attempt to summarise: > "  //due to built-inobscurities and ambiguities in traditional phalita jyotisha itself which > you mention " //. > Probably theoritical by way of lineage the system is unparallel.But contradictions if any it beyond our consistentencies > > > > Vattem Krishnan > Cyber Jyotish Services > (For all counseling services) > Dr.B.V.Raman " Fools Obey Planets While  Wisemen Can Control Them " > Planets are neutral Controllers of Mans Karma >  > > --- On Sun, 12/20/09, VJha vinayjhaa16@ ... wrote: > > > VJha vinayjhaa16@ ... > Re: Vedic Astrology > > Sunday, December 20, 2009, 10:50 AM > > >  > > > > Rohini Da, > > You are right.

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 To Vattem Krishnan Ji and others, Krishnan Ji has rightly mentioned that BPHS has outlined the qualities needed for a Jyotishi, but he forgot to mention one quality : Jitendriya (ie, or to use a broader concept, Brahmacharya). Vedic disciplines were taught only to Brahmachaaris. Even married persons could be Brahmachaaris, as Lord Krishna says in Mahabharata. I am against the following statement : <<<Ultimately as the progression of knowledge is taking place from geneartion to generations,it has probably taking a tasty kichadi form leading to increased following of jyostih and evincing interest. >>> As far as Vedic disciplines are concerned, devolution is taking place. Even in Jyotisha, out of 18 ancient siddhantas, only Suryasiddhanta is available in e being any understandable form and even it is not properly understood by even those who are paid for teaching it. While ancient texts are being lost/distorted/derided, new items are being interpolated/added into Vedic Jyotisha in the name of " development " . These new items can be accepted only if they are in line with the old, which is not always the case. Moreover, only those persons are authorised to add these things who understand the old. I did not state in response to Rohini Ji's post that part of the khichdi is sometimes due to deliberate dishonesty by some modern messiahs. Rohini Ji used a wise language leaving room for various explanations, while I am calling a spade a spade. 99% of explanations by many astrologers are based on some particular aspect and do not take into consideration a holistic approach : this lopsided method can be used to prove whatever one wishes. Sometimes, concocted birth-time is used to prove one's point. Hence, I had tried to base my case studies on internationally approved rainfall data. But internet astrologers ignored to discuss these studies. Ignorance can be cured, but there is no cure to bias. I fully agree with last statement of Krishnan Ji ( " people with wisdom and perfect understanding made to explain what is necessary and leave to the wise men in the next gen to eloberate and understand seems to be the approach. " ). I am not in a hurry. I have decided to devote my time to writing books & c and keep away from controversies on internet, esp with those who refuse to test a thing before rejecting it. Internet fora do not need an explanation of things like " why " there is full aspect on 7thy house and other such questions. Special aspects are exceptions, full aspect on opposite house is a general rule which is not negated by any special rule. This general rule must be explained on the basis of general theory of phalita jyotisha. I said that no commentator has ever explained such things. But this explanation was known to the ancients and has been duly preserved through oral guru-shishya tradition. Unfortunately, such explanations are ignored by most of modern jyotishis because they are not interested in phalita theory and want only those things which yield quick results. I started explaineing many such things at my website, but when I found some " astrologers " want to finish me by means of launching a baseless abusing campaign, I stopped posting explanations of BPHS at my website. Undeserving persons should not get Vedic knowledge. If cannot ensure non-abusive discourse, there is no need of any discourse at all. I had not removed the explanation of full aspect on 7th house from my website, but nowI am going to remove it because recent response has convinced me that members discussing things with me have no time to look at my website which contains the explanation of full aspect on 7th house. I am removing myself gradually from internet, step by step. Internet astrologers are already satisfied with what they already possess and do not need anything from those who are perceived to be too traditionally minded. My retirement will give Shanti to all.

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 Dear Vinay_jee! I am with Krishnan_DA! He did say, " KICHADI " ! While I love this wonderful dish 'Khichadee/Khichdi' that my mother used to cook and also one of my gujrati 'kaki' (no wonder they say that friends are merely siblings born to other mothers!) who did cook it better and I insensitively told that to my mother in my younger, more insensitive days! :-( Ma was not 'pleased' and the moment after I said that I repented, of course! BUT it was educational personally, to see, how readily my mother soon demonstrated to me how good she was at cooking 'Bhindi-bhaji' and a few other dishes that I would rather not bore you all with on this public forum concentrating on JYOTISH! The POINT was about NOT dwelling on challenges, defeats and what others think -- even your own child (as in my mother's case!) but then to look for your strengths within that too exist! All that personal diatribe aside, wasted on present august company, of course, the 'h' was important and noted by me! Kichadi vs Khichadi! The former has the potential of raising and giving a home for Lotuses, the latter potentially raising very fat individuals particularly when too much butter or ghee gets served with Khichdis! Even the Khichdee Jyotish Feasts! Fat, incidentally is where Jupiter the patron saint of Jyotish can and does go WRONG!

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 Dear Shri Jha, You are a very learned person and after going through your web page, I was actually amazed at the level of scholarly research you have undertaken. Hence, naturally I was not comfortable about pointing out this line and stating that I noticed it as error. I assumed that the line is correct and I was missing something basic here. Hence I wrote to you. Thanks a lot for replying and clarifying. I am student of astrology and even now wading my way through the basic waves on the shore of this vast ocean called Jyothisha. Hence, many things you have stated in your web page just flew over my head like that huge bird in the new movie Avatar. Let me take the courage to ask you something which for you may be basic but is very advanced for me. 1.You have mentioned suryasidhanta, and you have stated that others don’t use it as it is cumbersome to use and hence they say it doesn’t work.

Hence, naturally I was not comfortable about pointing out this line and stating that I noticed it as error. I assumed that the line is correct and I was missing something basic here. Hence I wrote to you. Thanks a lot for replying and clarifying. I am student of astrology and even now wading my way through the basic waves on the shore of this vast ocean called Jyothisha. Hence, many things you have stated in your web page just flew over my head like that huge bird in the new movie Avatar. Let me take the courage to ask you something which for you may be basic but is very advanced for me. 1.You have mentioned suryasidhanta, and you have stated that others don’t use it as it is cumbersome to use and hence they say it doesn’t work. Can you tell me what is the other sidhanta that they use? 2.Secondly, you mentioned that most use solar use and lunar year gives accurate results. In j/hora software, there is an option to change to lunar year 360 days. I did this but I did not see the dasa periods changing even by day? Can you tell me why as it looks like you have used j/hora.

Guest guest Posted December 22, 2009 Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 To begin with slect Ramn;s publication of Gayatru Vasudev or K.N.Rao general AStrology along with Hindu Predictive Astrology of late B.v.Raman Vattem Krishnan Cyber Jyotish Services (For all counseling services) Dr.B.V.Raman " Fools Obey Planets While  Wisemen Can Control Them " Planets are neutral Controllers of Mans Karma  --- On Mon, 12/21/09, karan gupta <karan74_gupta wrote: karan gupta <karan74_gupta RE: Vedic Astrology Monday, December 21, 2009, 11:31 AM  could u please suggest me some good books in jotisya I am totally a beginner pls.

Hence, naturally I was not comfortable about pointing out this line and stating that I noticed it as error. I assumed that the line is correct and I was missing something basic here. Hence I wrote to you. Thanks a lot for replying and clarifying. I am student of astrology and even now wading my way through the basic waves on the shore of this vast ocean called Jyothisha. Hence, many things you have stated in your web page just flew over my head like that huge bird in the new movie Avatar. Let me take the courage to ask you something which for you may be basic but is very advanced for me. 1.You have mentioned suryasidhanta, and you have stated that others don’t use it as it is cumbersome to use and hence they say it doesn’t work. Can you tell me what is the other sidhanta that they use? 2.Secondly, you mentioned that most use solar use and lunar year gives accurate results. In j/hora software, there is an option to change to lunar year 360 days. I did this but I did not see the dasa periods changing even by day? Can you tell me why as it looks like you have used j/hora. Regards Santhosh _____ [Jyotish_ Remedies] On Behalf Of VJha Saturday, December 19, 2009 6:44 PM Re: Vedic Astrology Santhosh ji, The following page <http://jyotirvidya. <http://jyotirvidya. wetpaint. com/page/ Vimshottari+ Dasha> wetpaint.com/ page/Vimshottari +Dasha> contained this statement : http://jyotirvidya. <http://jyotirvidya. wetpaint. com/page/ Vimshottari+ Dasha> wetpaint.com/ page/Vimshottari +Dasha " if Jupiter is in moolatrikona in a particular horoscope , it is highly auspicious on account of that. But if it is lord of 6th and 11th houses at the same time, it is highly malefic. This erroneous sentence has been revised as : " if Jupiter is in moolatrikona in a particular horoscope , it is highly auspicious on account of that. But if it is lord of 3rd and 6th houses at the same time, it is highly malefic as well. " You pointed at one error, for which I thank you.

Guest guest Posted December 22, 2009 Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 Dada! I think each new-comer should begin with BPHS! If they can't take it, they will find other more useful pursuits! Jyotish is a very difficult path and no point in starting a Kindergarten that only creates problems for them and others, eventually! TO ALL OTHERS: {And, Jyotish is not, & can never be just a HOBBY or PASTIME! Take up chess, cricket or photography if you are trying to figure out what to do with your spare time...!} RR_, , Vattem Krishnan <bursar_99 wrote: > > To begin with slect Ramn;s publication of Gayatru Vasudev or K.N.Rao general AStrology along with Hindu Predictive Astrology of late B.v.Raman > > > Vattem Krishnan > Cyber Jyotish Services > (For all counseling services) > Dr.B.V.Raman " Fools Obey Planets While  Wisemen Can Control Them " > Planets are neutral Controllers of Mans Karma >  > > --- On Mon, 12/21/09, karan gupta <karan74_gupta wrote: > > > karan gupta <karan74_gupta > RE: Vedic Astrology > > Monday, December 21, 2009, 11:31 AM > > >  > > > > could u please suggest me some good books in jotisya I am totally a beginner pls. > > Karan Gupta (Karan74_gupta@ ) > > --- On Mon, 21/12/09, Santhosh <santhosh (AT) sudhamayi (DOT) com> wrote: > > Santhosh <santhosh (AT) sudhamayi (DOT) com> > RE: Vedic Astrology > > Monday, 21 December, 2009, 15:51 > >  > > Dear Shri Jha, > > You are a very learned person and after going through your web page, I was > > actually amazed at the level of scholarly research you have undertaken. > > Hence, naturally I was not comfortable about pointing out this line and > > stating that I noticed it as error.

Guest guest Posted December 22, 2009 Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 Dear Shri Jha ji, Thanx for supplementing the info about senes.This issue i want to always bypass and avoid as these senses make human life more complex.If God were to be kind Huan minus senses would have been much happier i feel.Anyway as senses have been made vital v need also to apply anf put into forefront Phalita, as a divine inspiration has also some dos and donts and jyotish present day regard and it's place is due to phalita. Phalit jyotis is extemporous and for that great knowledge and that too in snaskritised forms will make them comfortable In today's world v have many forms to deal with future,if some r vedic based others r westrenised forms that suits more to inter mode. Finally inventions and innovations arise once it is captured in media attention.Today Jyotish is very popukar field.vedic AStrology taking new forms can not be said as devolution. v wish people to understand principles of jyotish and apply them carefully in routine life.  Vattem Krishnan Cyber Jyotish Services (For all counseling services) Dr.B.V.Raman " Fools Obey Planets While  Wisemen Can Control Them " Planets are neutral Controllers of Mans Karma  --- On Mon, 12/21/09, VJha <vinayjhaa16 wrote: VJha <vinayjhaa16 Re: Vedic Astrology Monday, December 21, 2009, 1:47 AM  To Vattem Krishnan Ji and others, Krishnan Ji has rightly mentioned that BPHS has outlined the qualities needed for a Jyotishi, but he forgot to mention one quality : Jitendriya (ie, or to use a broader concept, Brahmacharya) . Vedic disciplines were taught only to Brahmachaaris. Even married persons could be Brahmachaaris, as Lord Krishna says in Mahabharata. I am against the following statement : <<<Ultimately as the progression of knowledge is taking place from geneartion to generations, it has probably taking a tasty kichadi form leading to increased following of jyostih and evincing interest. >>> As far as Vedic disciplines are concerned, devolution is taking place. Even in Jyotisha, out of 18 ancient siddhantas, only Suryasiddhanta is available in e being any understandable form and even it is not properly understood by even those who are paid for teaching it. While ancient texts are being lost/distorted/ derided, new items are being interpolated/ added into Vedic Jyotisha in the name of " development " . These new items can be accepted only if they are in line with the old, which is not always the case. Moreover, only those persons are authorised to add these things who understand the old. I did not state in response to Rohini Ji's post that part of the khichdi is sometimes due to deliberate dishonesty by some modern messiahs. Rohini Ji used a wise language leaving room for various explanations, while I am calling a spade a spade. 99% of explanations by many astrologers are based on some particular aspect and do not take into consideration a holistic approach : this lopsided method can be used to prove whatever one wishes. Sometimes, concocted birth-time is used to prove one's point. Hence, I had tried to base my case studies on internationally approved rainfall data. But internet astrologers ignored to discuss these studies. Ignorance can be cured, but there is no cure to bias. I fully agree with last statement of Krishnan Ji ( " people with wisdom and perfect understanding made to explain what is necessary and leave to the wise men in the next gen to eloberate and understand seems to be the approach. " ). I am not in a hurry. I have decided to devote my time to writing books & c and keep away from controversies on internet, esp with those who refuse to test a thing before rejecting it. Internet fora do not need an explanation of things like " why " there is full aspect on 7thy house and other such questions. Special aspects are exceptions, full aspect on opposite house is a general rule which is not negated by any special rule. This general rule must be explained on the basis of general theory of phalita jyotisha. I said that no commentator has ever explained such things. But this explanation was known to the ancients and has been duly preserved through oral guru-shishya tradition. Unfortunately, such explanations are ignored by most of modern jyotishis because they are not interested in phalita theory and want only those things which yield quick results. I started explaineing many such things at my website, but when I found some " astrologers " want to finish me by means of launching a baseless abusing campaign, I stopped posting explanations of BPHS at my website. Undeserving persons should not get Vedic knowledge. If cannot ensure non-abusive discourse, there is no need of any discourse at all. I had not removed the explanation of full aspect on 7th house from my website, but nowI am going to remove it because recent response has convinced me that members discussing things with me have no time to look at my website which contains the explanation of full aspect on 7th house. I am removing myself gradually from internet, step by step. Internet astrologers are already satisfied with what they already possess and do not need anything from those who are perceived to be too traditionally minded. My retirement will give Shanti to all.
