RE: Test of tropical versus side r e al zodiac

May 16, 2009

Dear Sunil-ji,

When someone does not go thru my mails and replies..I do feel bad.

And I do express that - because it a friendly forum.

My frequent internet searches has led me to many areas...and hence

I am aware of the topic (usage of sidereal principle in Tropical astrology)

since 1 to 1.5 yrs.

My take on this subject is simple.... like any engg standards, one has

to follow a single standard and methodology. One can not jump from

one system to another at his / her wish.

However, if someone wants to experiment - he is free to do so. And if

he comes out with something worthwhile, we all will look in to that- Provided

the test sample is very large (minm 10,000) and stands the basic

tests ( the basic assumptions are logical, methodology is clear-cut

and sample base is really random). A sample of 378 is not enough,

especially when the basic assumptions are not clearly defended.

Let us not take this topic further. We have a saying -

"Ulu-vane Mukto chhorano" - Strewing pearls in grass /waste lands.

Let the learned persons not waste their time in arguing against likes

of AKK, VJ, Hari Malla and likes. This is my sincere request.

regards

Chakraborty

dear chakraborty ji Ok ,sorry ,then i miss read ur post I was fully aware of this reserch what shri Boazji says ,since one month i think if my memory is correct .But i answered also their claims called experimnts tru our grp itself ( even it was discussed between me and sreenadh ji b4 2 weeks i think tru personal mails ) and posted one chart also for verifying for grp memebrs ,other than claims of 378 successful predictions no reserch paper also provided to verify it also all availble hora texts deal with siderial zodiac and degrees and pointers in it ,so if some one misread it or trying to propogate some wrong theories we cannot sit silently practising modesty and we shud able to say what is correct and what is not correct with our knowledge and exprnce other wise what is the use of a life time practising astrology and then even the mission of this grp is re constructing lost principles as we know it is working marvellously still without any failure .Astrologers individualy failing or successful has nothing to do with the zodiac s i blv .Even if some one feels it is wrong approach then what stopped him to consult some masters in this field and discuss it b4 launching a reserch and trumpeting to the world b4 arriving at any results .So this so called reserch itself is doubtful u r free to express ur feeling and if u prefer to not to commnt again i respect ur discision rgrds sunil nair . , CHAKRABORTYP2 wrote:>> Dear Sunil-ji,> > I was referring to similar debates in internet that crops up from time> to time.
