The date doesn't correlate with the first point of sideral Capricorn. Sri Yukteswar attempted to explain this correction to Indian astrologers without much success.

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 Sri Yukteshwar was a advanced soul.But one had to have the same wavelengths to understand the man and his astronomical theories, which hopefully, would surpass the future generations and perhaps some day later be realised as perfect. rgrds/Bhaskar. , Therese Hamilton <eastwest wrote: > > At 01:32 PM 1/15/08 +0000, Arundhati wrote: > > > > Happy Pongal & Makhra Sankranthi to you & your family > > Thank you, Arundhati, except that the significant date for Makhra > Sankranthi, the point where the Sun turns and begins its passage northward, > is the winter solstice in December when the Sun enters tropical Capricorn. > The date doesn't correlate with the first point of sideral Capricorn.

The winter solstice is a fact, not a theory, so the important date isn't the entry of the sun into sidereal Capricorn, but rather the solstice. Sri Yukteswar's Yuga theory is also straightforward since it aligns with the precession of the equinoxes. I would adjust his dates, however, to fit the more exact ayanamsa of Lahiri or Krishnamurti. These figures were not available--had not yet been discovered--when Sri Yukteswar was alive. Also the rough 24,000 Yuga cycle is best replaced by the actual cycle of 25,800 years. (Though this figure cannot also be completely exact due to flucuations.) So I don't see any difficult-to-understand astronomical theories, but only observable cycles. Many things that Sri Yukteswar predicted for Dwapara Yuga are now coming to pass. Therese Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 I may have not expressed myself properly. The content by Sri Yukteshwarji is not difficult to " understand " , but difficult to " accept " by many, due to individual convictions and rigid pre-set mind frames. Lucky that You believe and understand both. Apologies. rgrds, Bhaskar. , Therese Hamilton <eastwest wrote: > > At 07:06 PM 1/15/08 -0000, Bhaskar wrote: > > >Sri Yukteshwar was a advanced soul.

Oh, yes, that is true. Most are still seeing the yugas as so many, many thousands of years long! And astrologers are still linking Makhara Sankranthi to the first point of sidereal Capricorn.
