Dear Dakshnamoorthi ji,

Thanks for the knowledge shared. I share almost the same view.

Thanks.

What is your openion about Drida - Adrida phala variation. It is

said that the phala that is indicated by Yoga-Desa-Gochara (3 of

them together) is drida phala and that it is sure to happen. I have

also heard " Avasyam anubhavokthavyam dridam karma subhasubham... "

etc. (thogh it is slightly out of context here). Now Adrida karma is

one indicated by Yoga-Desa, Desa-Gochra, Yoga-Gochara combinations,

or by Yoga, Desa, Gochara alone. These phalas may or may not happen.

That is, they can be changed by following proper remedies. I find

this acceptable.

You said:

> Predictions come true ONLY WITH VAK-PHALITHA

>(the gift of prophesy due to which his predictions can come true).

I agree, but would like to add that, if with proper study anybody

has improved his logic and intuition and dedicates himself to the

subject under scrutiny, the holistic approach and Vak-sidhi is sure

to follow.

As per your def, it seems that,

Accurate Predictions are horoscope interpretations that will come

true. (?)

There could be hundreds of interpretation of a single simple thing.

And many predictions which may or may not come true. But there could

be only a few accurate predictions. Yes, all accurate predictions

depend upon some kind of interpretation, but all interpretations CAN

NOT be an accurate prediction!!!

Am I getting your point correctly?!

BTW: A curious thing comes to mind. Consider the placement of Su in

Li. In Skanda hora it is said that he would be a " Soundika " . Now

came the chance of Daksha Prajapathi to interpret this word (In

Brihat prajapathyam). The word " Sunda " has got 2 meanings - 1.

Liquor and 2.Trunk of an elephant. Thus soundika could be one who

makes liquor or an elephant driver!!! It is not possible that all

drunkards are elephant drivers, or that all elephant drivers are

drunkards!!! He got confused and said that both of them are

possibilities!! The same has crept into Varaha hora as well. Now in

this modern age we interpret Elephant (a big vehicle of ancient

period) driver, as driver of any big vehicle, and 'one who makes

liquor as anybody who is doing a job related to liquor, or he

himself a drunkard!!! It is not possible that all of these

interpretations are correct!! Which of them is correct?!! It is

pitfall interpretations lead us to, and it is from this pitfall that

real experience in accurate prediction helps us.

I hope that Dakshinamoorthi ji will add his valuable comment to

this " Soundika " story.

Love,

Sreenadh
