with

to

> premises of the wonderful South Patio Club, the venue of the conference.}

> There were however, three new delegates at this conference, and the

> Professor forthwith introduced them to the rest of the participants, by

> mentioning their names, & briefly their vocations, as well: firstly, Sri

> Tyagi [Director:Finance, of a Bank, who had recently learnt the Systems

> Approach from Prof Choudhry]; secondly, Sri Suman Vasishth [ former Senior

> Executive with Air India, and a UK-Trained Cricket Umpire, and one with a

> life-long hobby of Vedic Astrology]; and thirdly, Smt Neha Gupta [a

> resident of Gurgaon, with a Masters degree in Computer Applications, and

who

> had recently taken the bold step of turning her back on the field, for

which

> she was so highly educated thus far, and choosing instead, to study the

> Systems Approach to Vedic Astrology, directly, from Prof Choudhry,

himself].

> It was also very significant that Dr Jonathan Miller had travelled from

long

> distances, to be at this Conference, at the right time.

>

> The Professor was very relaxed, as he always is, and opened with the

useful

> reminder that the conference was fundamentally a learning opportunity for

> all participants, and that it also served the additional purpose of

> refreshing our memories with regard to all the fundamental principles of

the

> Systems Approach. Going further in the same direction, he said the

> conference afforded also a solid learning experience to all those who

choose

> to make a presentation at the conf. In this context of learning, he

> reiterated that even long-standing SA practitioners, learn all the time,

not

> We will see how , covers an extensive area of several SA

> significant point, the Professor maintained that the science of astrology

is

> invariably used by people who are in distress, and that they turn to

> astrology only with a hope of preventing further damages and difficulties

in

> their lives. It was held by the Professor that the essence of astrology,

lay

> in the following aspects of that discipline of learning:

>

> (i)The ascertainment of both the planetary strengths as well as the

> afflictions caused by the planets;

> (ii)The identification of the functional nature of planets;

> (iii) Identification of the problems caused by natal weak and afflicted

> planets, including those that are badly placed.

> Touching on the third significant point, the Professor, drew attention to

> the fact that " sometimes there are strong planets, but results are not

> seen " [sutra #1]. Next, he stressed the importance of the Sutra[principle]

> that: " Whenever the Lord of the 4th, 2nd, 9th or 3rd,[meaning the Most

> Benefic Planet]House is badly placed and afflicted, then other fruits in

> the life of the individual are also reduced " [sutra #2].[quotes are either

> verbatim reproductions of Professor's words, or nearly verbatim]

>

> In his commentary on various aspects of the Systems Approach [sA], he next

> dwelt on what may be considered to be the fourth significant point: " The

> weakness of the Lord of the 8th H or 4th H, reduces the longevity of

father,

> longevity of oneself, in addition to reducing the inheritance [as the 8th

H,

> is the H of inheritance], and also the financial strength of the father,

and

> the well-known longevity of marriage as well. " [sutra #3]. {Here it is not

> inappropriate to mention that these SA Sutras, enunciated by the

Professor,

> in their present forms, will prove to be invaluable in the understanding

of

> the various case studies that will be presented by others, in the course

of

> the conference. For this reason, we will do well to note and remember

these

> Sutras, well in advance of their actual appearance.}

>

> After that, he took up the problem of the identification of the variable,

> representing the father, when the 9th H and the 4th H, do not possess a

MTS

> [Mula Trikona Sign].This may be considered to be the fifth of the

> Professor's significant comments. He said: " For identifying the father in

> any chart, under the conditions mentioned, we should consider the

placement

> of the Sun in the natal chart as well as in the Div Chart, pertaining to

> parents, called the Dwadasamsa [D12] " .[sutra #4]

>

> He mentioned in passing that Dr Bhagavadpada was scheduled to give a

> presentation on the Div Charts, in which he will go into the many Div

> Charts, by first presenting all the relevant SA Sutras, which will be

needed

> for that purpose. It was also emphasized by , that: " In

> any study of Div Charts, afflictions within the Div Charts must be

examined,

> and in such cases; while one must examine only the FMs [Functional

Malefics]

> of the Div Chart, within the Div Chart itself, one must not make the

mistake

> of searching for the impact of the Rasi Chart's [RC's] FMs, within the

> context of the Div Charts " .[sA Sutra #5]

>

> Turning briefly, to the special subject of Transits in the SA, the

> Professor, mentioned that within a month's time, the revised edition of

his

> earlier work on: " How to Identify Significant Events " , is scheduled to be

> released and that this version will contain an additional chapter on

Transit

> Significant Events, which is expected to be very useful to all those, who

> are practitioners of the SA and who have the task of giving a written

> Reading.

>

> He said that in that work, he has once again, reiterated the importance of

> the Sutra: " Malefic Lords of the eighth and ninth houses are Ra like, in

> that, they also, like Ra, create greed, over ambitiousness, involvement in

> materialistic pursuits, involvement in lust, mishaps, loss of patience,

> etc. " [sutra #6].

>

> Another very important Sutra was also mentioned: " Where there is no MTS in

> the VIH, & Ke causes an affliction in the Natal Chart; Ke acts just like

the

> Malefic VIH Lord, creating losses through disputes, thefts, debts and

> litigations. " [sutra #7]. It was reiterated by the Professor that, unless

> Ketu causes an affliction in the Natal Chart, it will not come to act like

> the Lord of the Malefic VIH.

>

> Again, he stressed on a number of kindred predictive Sutras in the special

> field of Transits. The first of them is the following: " When planets

Transit

> the VIH, they create vulnerability to conflicts, and vulnerability to

> health " [ Sutra #8].Citing an illustrative example, the Professor,

mentioned,

> how such predictive Sutras are useful, during consultations: " In a

> consultation involving an Aries Asdt Person, during Sept, Oct, there are

> chances of health problems, arguments, because, generally, during these

> months Su, Me, Ve travel through the Sign Virgo[the VIH, for Aries

> Asdts] " [sutra #9].

>

> Likewise, he also illustrated: " For the same Aries Asdt person, when the

Su,

> Me and Ve move into Scorpio [which underlies the VIIIH], that individual

> becomes vulnerable to obstructions of all kinds " [sutra #10].

> Continuing in the same vein, and retaining the example of the Aries Asdt,

> the drew our attention to another very simple Sutra, with good predictive

> power: " When planets get out of the VIIIH, problems get over " [sutra

> #11].Focussing now on the Transit of the Su, Me, and Ve in the XIIH[Pisces

> underlies this H], he pointed out the value of the corresponding

predictive

> Sutra: " Likewise, when the Su, Me, Ve, transit, the Sign Pisces[in the

> months of March, April], the Aries individual, is likely to encounter

more:

> expenses, losses, or some health problems, or he may plan to visit distant

> places " [sutra #12].

>

> Passing from the subject of the Tr impact of fast moving Planets, the

> Professor had this to say, w.r.t. the Tr impact of slow moving Planets:

" The

> above are the influences of fast moving problems, in Tr. Slow moving

> planets in Tr, give long drawn out difficulties-Sa, for example,

> vulnerability for 2.5 yrs, as this is the time Tr Sa spends in each Sign.

In

> such cases, one must be careful. If Ra and Ke are in Malefic Hs, they

linger

> there for as long as 1.5 Yrs; for Tr Ju in Malefic Hs, it takes as long as

1

> yr. Further, if during Tr, Ra and Ke become stationary, on the MEP[Most

> Effective Point]of any H, they cause afflictions to many Houses, with

> long-drawn out difficulty, for as long as 4 to 5 months. " [sutra #13]

>

> As a last Sutra belonging to the special field of Transits in the SA, the

> Professor, mentioned the following unusual Tr situation: " Sometimes, exact

> conjunctions occur, as Transit Stationary influences , involving 2 or 3

> Planets. When this happens, there are very painful and memorable

> sufferings. " [sutra # 14]

>

> For the benefit of SA astrologers, who have to give a written Reading, the

> Professor said, he has added a whole new chapter of about 40 Pages to his

> earlier book on: " How to identify Significant Events " and that this

revised

> edition is now in the press. In this chapter, the various significations

of

> planets are systematically listed, for each of the twelve Asdts, with many

> illustrative case studies.

>

> Drawing due attention to the whole question of the placement of Planets,

> , concluded this list of Sutras, with the following one:

> " Whenever a Planet goes the VIH, both its general significations, as well

as

> the significations of the House, for which it is the Lord, will suffer.

> Similarly when Planets are Transiting Benefic Hs, they give good results,

> depending on their strengths in the Natal Chart. " [sutra # 15].

>

> By bringing all these varied Sutras in front of our eyes, in an unhurried

> manner, Prof Choudhry, was equipping us with all the necessary SA

insights,

> not only for fully understanding the enfoldment of the Conference [through

> the many case studies, to follow]; but also for refreshing our memories,

and

> creating an atmosphere of learning, in which there is a spirit of free

> enquiry, and consequent learning.

>

> At the end he mentioned that Mr Roop Saran will make a presentation on the

Dr

the

> Remedial Measures, and that Dr. Bhagavadpada will make a presentation in
