Guest guest Posted May 20, 2006 Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 Dear Shreenadh, Yesterday i went thru the files section....basically your articles...to understand some to the things that we are talking of here...the 0 point in Chandrahari Ayanamasha....the BT rectification, etc. My first thought was...Christ, what am i doing on a forum like this....this is meant for knowledgable people....people who know astrology....and ganitha. Though u have been extremely encouraging...and patient.....with sometimes inane questions from my side....the best thing for a person like me would be to remain shut. The thought also crossed my mind that I could be suffering from indigestion...the rumblings that go on with undigested food in the stomach. But as a novice in this area let me still give u some feedback...for whatevever that is worth. First let me thank u for clarifying that astrology is basically Kala Tantra...a study of time. What i like particularly is what u said about understanding the rythm of time. It almost sounded like the ayurvedic doctor putting the finger on the pulse. So when u can understand the pulse of time u can understand so many things. There can be different techniques for catching the pulse as there are different systems in astrology...but the essense remains the same. Then u said that in order to understand time u study motions...motions of planets. That is even more interesting. Motions in relation to a stationary zodiac... motions of the planets... motions of the earth. The whole talk of the 0 point is a search of where the siderial coincided with the tropical while the earth " wobbled " on its axis. (Why the lagna jumps 180 degrees at the poles may once again have something to do with the motion of the earth?) But the most interesting thing perhaps is whether the study of the macro could be combined with the micro. (again back to relativity and quantum mechanics?). I am really looking forward to your exposition of the prashna marga....the present moment....and how truth can be derived from there. And finally, whether there is anything that can bend time to one's own wishes....by bending to the divine wish...where motions stop....and time has no meaning??? Thank you, once again for putting so many delectable things on the plate....Though the apetite is always there to gobble up food what i should mind is the poor stomach...which is only a small pouch ... of extremely limited capacity.

Guest guest Posted May 20, 2006 Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 Dear Vinita ji, It was a beautiful letter. Thank you. You have collected many important points and presented them in a single mail. ==> First let me thank u for clarifying that astrology is basically Kala Tantra...a study of time. <== Yes, It is one of the most important points. ==> What i like particularly is what u said about understanding the rhythm of time. It almost sounded like the Ayurvedic doctor putting the finger on the pulse. So when u can understand the pulse of time u can understand so many things. There can be different techniques for catching the pulse as there are different systems in astrology...but the essence remains the same. <== You have put it beautifully. Yes, there can be different techniques for catching the pulse as there are different systems in astrology. That is why Tropical and Sidereal predictive astrology existed even from time of Vedic period simultaneously, and gave true results. That is why if we take any point in the ecliptic and make a predictive system after proper study it can give good results for a short span (many 25-50 years) but not long. (Why ecliptic alone, even the path of moon could a reference for creating a temporary predictive system) That is why for giving exact results for long a fixed frame of reference, and a mathematical abstraction of the fluctuations, becomes important - and so the Sidereal Zodiac with Meshadi as Zero point. Yes, In all these situations the essence remains the same - study of the pulse of time. ==> Then u said that in order to understand time u study motions...motions of planets. That is even more interesting. Motions in relation to a stationary zodiac... motions of the planets... motions of the earth. The whole talk of the 0 point is a search of where the sidereal coincided with the tropical while the earth " wobbled " on its axis. <== Absolutely right. Motions should be judged against a fixed framework - like the coordinates plotted on a graph. ==> (Why the lagna jumps 180 degrees at the poles may once again have something to do with the motion of the earth?) <== Exactly right - and that is why that question is very important. Does it tell us that the current calculation system given in JHora (for Lagna calculation for polar regions) is not in line with the fundamental concept of Rishis? If Lagna is supposed to give the " the relative angle of rotation of earth with reference to the Zero point with in 360 deg " , then how can it jump? It shouldn't! What does that mean? Are we wrongly taking opposite point in such situations, because the fundamentals are still undigested? Can't you see how even the big questions automatically gets answered when we are ready to stick to the fundamentals? I think the answer hides here - why lagna jumps and why it shouldn't. Please follow the Link provided by Vijayadas ji some days before- and see how the wrong consideration of house system as different from Rasis could lead to more erroneous concepts - such as non existence of some houses in horoscope etc. Please remember that in 360 deg all signs and all houses do exist. If it is a continuous 360 deg rotation of a single point, everything would be ok. If somebody is changing the reference points - it should be a wrong calculation which is a violation of the fundamentals. Rishis defined Lagna as " The point of ecliptic that rises in the east " . So the question of vernamalga ji " What is this East after all? " That is the right question and he is pointing in the right direction. Thus goes my opinion. A hint only for now (Or is it that I have stated it already!) - I would clarify it later. Also let us wait and see, what would be opinion of the one well versed in Ancient Indian Sidhantic (Astronomy) texts - i.e. Chandra Hari. ==> But the most interesting thing perhaps is whether the study of the macro could be combined with the micro. (again back to relativity and quantum mechanics?). <== You spotted it rightly. This is the thread of thought that leads us towards the extreme concepts of science - let it be Relativity, Quantum mechanics, Storage mechanism of human memory, Biological clocks and circadian rhythm or the like. It is also the thread that leads us towards Philosophical concepts regarding the different thinking methods (Scientific and holistic), Subjective and Objective study methods, study of mind (which like a broken glass) that could only see things through classification and the like. ==> And finally, whether there is anything that can bend time to one's own wishes....by bending to the divine wish...where motions stop....and time has no meaning??? <== Yes, as you rightly spotted - it is one of the extreme areas. Why meditation? What is it? Could there exist a space-time continuum with in brain? Is there some unknown link between the inner and the outer world - inner having the power to modify the outer directly?! Where motions stop, and time has no meaning - Is that a scientific concept (as in relativity) or subjective experience (as in meditation)? Where does all this subjective and objective merge? Where does this scientific and holistic merge? Where do all these fragments merge into one - integrating everything!! Where is that ONENESS? Are we going to study (!) it also through classification?!!!!! Yes, you are to the path of spirituality. Dear vinita ji, save this mail (this question and this answer) separately. This is something special of you. No more answers for some time……… Because I don't have any…………….. But meditate on this for some time…… You will see the light inside....……….. Is that Siva or is that ONE………? Is that whirl or storm inside……..? Is that rhythm or pulsing breath…? Jyotish makes us mad or divine……? Mass destruction sure ensured….! Beware that you have to build…..! Dare to say - you astro fools……. But Dare not say – you astro fools…! Things can shine when light comes by…. Inner light of true sun shine……………... Hope and wait for Siva to rise…………. Destroy all for new buildings………...! But all buildings are with out life…... Only souls can view sunlight……….!! Idols are fore mere worship………….. Inner divinity worth pursuit………...! P.S. Life is not mechanical, so as true astrology…… Astrological constructs are mechanical. So it is worthless with out a true astrologer……. Astrology has two purposes they say – worldly and spiritual. Which one you choose? Hayi….Hayi….!! How many things you would destroy!!!!! Why you always want to deny things and stand away from the crowd! ) Love, Sreenadh , " vinita kumar " <shankar_mamta wrote: > > Dear Shreenadh, > > Yesterday i went thru the files section....basically your > articles...to understand some to the things that we are talking of > here...the 0 point in Chandrahari Ayanamasha....the BT rectification, > etc. My first thought was...Christ, what am i doing on a forum like > this....this is meant for knowledgable people....people who know > astrology....and ganitha.
