Guest guest Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 Dear Vinay, If I remember correctly I saw a mail recently where you clarified that the divisions have been made equal (ie.with a 13 degrees and 20 minute longitudinal spread for each of the nakshtras) and this equal division is used in astrology. It is undestandable that it is so irrespective of the fact that astronomically the inter-nakshatra distances do vary among different pairs of adjacent Nakshatras. Best wishes, Sunil K.

Guest guest Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 Sunil Da, Nakshatra has nothing to do with stars. Identifying Nakshatras with stars is a modern myth created by materialists who wanted to reduce everything to physical level. Nakshatra is merely a geometrical division of the zodiac. It is a coincidence that there are stars in those divisions. Those stars do not produce astrological effects at all. Had it been so, Nakshatras containing two stars would have been 50 times feebler than Nakshatras like Shatabhisha which contain 100 stars. But some stars are astrologically significant, like Brahma, Agastya, Saptarshis, etc, which are away from the zodiac. They are not physical stars, but stars of Bhuvaloka and are emancipated rishis. But they are not called Nakshatras. Etymologically, Nakshatra means " one which reaches/approaches " or " one which causes to approach " . Nakshatras cause us to come to this world, as well as to go out of it. -VJ ========================== === ________________________________ Sunil Bhattacharjya <sunil_bhattacharjya vedic astrology Saturday, June 27, 2009 5:23:23 PM Re: [vedic astrology] Re: Fw: PROOFS THAT nks were of unequal space.....

Guest guest Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 Dear Vinay, Yes, truly speaking the twenty seven Nakshatra divisions (ie. the twenty seven man-made divisions) of the ecliptic were made by the earlist Hindu astronomers for monitoring the movement of the planets. Otherwise how could they have identified the location of the grahas at any time? This is also the reason for choosing the constellations in the ecliptic in preference to the constellations outside the ecliptic. The Rashi divisions were also made by the ancient Hindu astronomers with the fixed Nakshatras (these are however the physical entities in the Drikpaksha astronomy) within them as the markers monitoring the movement of the grahas. I shall keep any discussion on the the difference between the Drikpaksha and Saurapaksha systems presently outside the scope of the present topic as I really do not have the required knowledge of the Saurapaksha view. The ancient Hindu astronomers took the Geocentric view (or the Pratyaksha view ie. what meets the eye), when they took the Sun as the graha moving round the Earth though they also had the Heliocentric idea (the Paroksha knowledge), that in reality the Earth moves round the Sun. In the case of the movement of the Moon the Pratyaksha view was okay. I came across another definition of Nakshatra. Na is for the Moon and Kshetra is for house. so Naksetra , which later on became Nakshatra, imples the Lunar house or mansion, where the Moon spends a day. They had to keep the Abhiji out as it moved away from the ecliptic band (with + / - 9 degree bandwidth). Further the 27 days of the sidereal Lunar month got well-fitted in it such that the Moon could be allotted one day in one Nkashatra-division. However in one synodic month the Moon covers one-twelvth of the ecliptic and that could be the basis of the twelve divisions of the the ecliptic.The Rig Veda does say " Chandrah Masakrt " and I am sure you will have the relevant reference. This means the Moon is the maker of the month (twelve months). We also know how the intercalary (or embolismic) months have to be accommodated in the five-year yuga periods (about the nineteen-year cycle you will know better). Further the Jupiter also moves one-twelvth of the ecliptic in one Solar year. Though the Nakshatra and the Rashi are ancient Hindu astronomical concepts the astrology was developed based on that. Astrology is also a very old concept. Manu Smriti mentions it and the there is mention of its use during the Mahabharata war five thousand years ago. I think you prepared a detailed note on astrology in the Mahabharata and I look forward to seeing that. In the west also the prophet Moses mentioned in the Genesis (Pentateuch) in 1500 BCE about the signs of the heaven. Hindu astrology used the rashis and the Nakshatras so much that now most people think that the Nakshatra-divisions and the rashi-divisions were made by the Hindu astrologers. What an irony? You know that the western astrology does not involve the nakshatras and that is why many lovers of western system of astrology want us to get rid of the Nakshatras so we abandon the Hindu astrology.

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 Sunil Da, What you call the Pratyaksha View and Paroksha View are both parts of the Drikpakshiya view. Drikpaksha means what is sensorily perceived. In Kant's terms, it is the World of Phenomena (Things-to-Us), while Saurapaksha is the World of Noumena (Things-in-Themselves). Vedic astro-logy/-nomy was produced by Rishis who received divine knowledge, and not by physical scientists making empirical observation. All ancient texts say so. All original siddhantas, samhitaas and horaas were works of Rishis. No Rishi worked in observatories or used any instruments. On the contrary, those making observation of the physical planets were derided as Nakshatra-soochakas and were excluded from genuine Juyotishis. Nakshatra-soochakas were regarded as chaandalas, while Jyotishis were regarded highly (cf. Manusmriti). The very hypothesis that astrology / astronomy was produced as a result of empirical observation will lead to the conclusion that all ancient Indians were hypocrites who created astrology from observation and falsely declared their results as divine gifts and this entire country was hycritical for writing anf believing in such things !! Vedas and Vedangas do not describe empirical world. They deal with the real lives and real needs of mortals, including the needs of life after death. Hence, they deal with duties related to permanent well being. This cannot be done without divine help. Scientists do not see the other world. Why you do not scrotinize the case studies I had referered to earlier ? You possess requisite knowledge of astrology to check this article : http://jyotirvidya.wetpaint.com/page/Annual+Rains I read the whole Mahabharata at one go (it took many weeks), and took notes concerninh astrology. But I did not translate it into English. It will take quite some time. Moreover, analysis and commentary on those notes will make a whole book. I do not have that much time. But if I get some time, I will prepare a list of verses related to astrology and will upload that list on some website. Nakshatra system is used in China too. When one compares all principal ancient astrological / astronomical systems, India comes to occupy the central place. First Vedic Yajna is Darsha-paurnamaasa Yajna. Darsha means New Moon, and Parnamaasa means Full Moon. The very term Parnamaasa means Month was intrinsically related to Moon. Abhijit is not a later invention. From earliest times, there was 27-Naks system as well as 28-Naks system, the latter having restricted uses in muhurta-finding and Madini chakras. Etymological definition cannot be replaced with anti-grammatical definitions. Non-grammatical definitions are written by pandits to throw light on some significant meaning of a term, but such definitions are not etymological definitions, they are merely literary exercises. Khatra cannot be deduced from Ksetra, Sanskrit is a scientific (Divine) language, unlike Laukika languages, and such derivations are against the rules of Sanskrit grammar. -VJ========================= ==== ________________________________ Sunil Bhattacharjya <sunil_bhattacharjya vedic astrology Cc: ; vedic_research_institute ; indiaarchaeology Sunday, June 28, 2009 4:43:05 AM Re: [vedic astrology] Re: Fw: PROOFS THAT nks were of unequal space.....

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 Dear Vinay, Yes, truly speaking the twenty seven Nakshatra divisions (ie. the twenty seven man-made divisions) of the ecliptic were made by the earlist Hindu astronomers for monitoring the movement of the planets. Otherwise how could they have identified the location of the grahas at any time? This is also the reason for choosing the constellations in the ecliptic in preference to the constellations outside the ecliptic. The Rashi divisions were also made by the ancient Hindu astronomers with the fixed Nakshatras (these are however the physical entities in the Drikpaksha astronomy) within them as the markers monitoring the movement of the grahas. I shall keep any discussion on the the difference between the Drikpaksha and Saurapaksha systems presently outside the scope of the present topic as I really do not have the required knowledge of the Saurapaksha view. The ancient Hindu astronomers took the Geocentric view (or the Pratyaksha view ie. what meets the eye), when they took the Sun as the graha moving round the Earth though they also had the Heliocentric idea (the Paroksha knowledge), that in reality the Earth moves round the Sun. In the case of the movement of the Moon the Pratyaksha view was okay. I came across another definition of Nakshatra. Na is for the Moon and Kshetra is for house. so Naksetra , which later on became Nakshatra, imples the Lunar house or mansion, where the Moon spends a day. They had to keep the Abhiji out as it moved away from the ecliptic band (with + / - 9 degree bandwidth). Further the 27 days of the sidereal Lunar month got well-fitted in it such that the Moon could be allotted one day in one Nkashatra-division. However in one synodic month the Moon covers one-twelvth of the ecliptic and that could be the basis of the twelve divisions of the the ecliptic.The Rig Veda does say "Chandrah Masakrt" and I am sure you will have the relevant reference. This means the Moon is the maker of the month (twelve months). We also know how the intercalary (or embolismic) months have to be accommodated in the five-year yuga periods (about the nineteen-year cycle you will know better). Further the Jupiter also moves one-twelvth of the ecliptic in one Solar year. Though the Nakshatra and the Rashi are ancient Hindu astronomical concepts the astrology was developed based on that. Astrology is also a very old concept. Manu Smriti mentions it and the there is mention of its use during the Mahabharata war five thousand years ago. I think you prepared a detailed note on astrology in the Mahabharata and I look forward to seeing that. In the west also the prophet Moses mentioned in the Genesis (Pentateuch) in 1500 BCE about the signs of the heaven. Hindu astrology used the rashis and the Nakshatras so much that now most people think that the Nakshatra-divisions and the rashi-divisions were made by the Hindu astrologers. What an irony? You know that the western astrology does not involve the nakshatras and that is why many lovers of western system of astrology want us to get rid of the Nakshatras so we abandon the Hindu astrology. The mail has already become too long and I should close it now. Best wishes, Sunil K.

Identifying Nakshatras with stars is a modern myth created by materialists who wanted to reduce everything to physical level. Nakshatra is merely a geometrical division of the zodiac. It is a coincidence that there are stars in those divisions. Those stars do not produce astrological effects at all. Had it been so, Nakshatras containing two stars would have been 50 times feebler than Nakshatras like Shatabhisha which contain 100 stars. But some stars are astrologically significant, like Brahma, Agastya, Saptarshis, etc, which are away from the zodiac. They are not physical stars, but stars of Bhuvaloka and are emancipated rishis. But they are not called Nakshatras.Etymologically, Nakshatra means "one which reaches/approaches" or "one which causes to approach". Nakshatras cause us to come to thisworld, as well as to go out of it.-VJ============ ========= ===== ===____________ _________ _________ __Sunil Bhattacharjya <sunil_bhattacharjya @>vedic astrologySaturday, June 27, 2009 5:23:23 PMRe: [vedic astrology] Re: Fw: PROOFS THAT nks were of unequal space.....Dear Vinay,If I remember correctly I saw a mail recently where you clarified that the divisions have been made equal (ie.with a 13 degrees and 20 minute longitudinal spread for each of the nakshtras) and this equal division is used in astrology. It is undestandable that it is so irrespective of the fact that astronomically the inter-nakshatra distances do vary among different pairs of adjacent Nakshatras. Best wishes,Sunil K.
