Medini Jyotisha

[Guest guest]

Dear Kursijaji and Sreeram Srinivasji,Astrology, whether Indian or western sometimes gives startling predictions based on geographical location, which is what comes under the scope of Medini jyotisha. Astrology seems to explain why USA had recession and is gradually getting out it now and why Australia was not really affected by the global recession. I know an astrologer who can even tell that a boy or girl will have spouse born in a particular direction from his or her own place of birth. So also he will tell in which direction one will go and earn his or her livelihood and more often than not the prediction comes correct. I wish the Jyotish forum also discusses such utilitarian aspects of Jyotish-vidya.Astrology is knowledge and knowledge is power. One can learn astrology with efforts and efforts are always rewarded, particularly when they are

constructive. Manu had said that the king must keep astrologers. According to some the Jantar Mantar made by the Jaipur king was for prediction of Monsoon. However Manu says that a Vanaprasthi should not give astrological predictions (in order to get his meals). The latter is for two reasons. Firstly a sannyashi is allowed to visit households for alms but the vanaprashthi is not allowed to do so and secondly it may drag them towards the household again. This is possible because the Vanaprashthi does not give up the rituals, does not shave head and only lives in seclusion for meditation and does spiritual studies whereas the Sannyashi shaves head, wears ochre (or similar) robes, carries a staff and kamandalu and/or begging bowl and gives up the rituals, which make it impossible for him to go back to the householder's life. There are some non-Hindu critics of Hindu astrology and they do pretend to be Hindu by showing that they

are devoted to Lord SriRam. This type of deception is called Taquia. These non-Hindus say that the Hindus learnt astrology from the Greeks and and that Manu had barred the practice of Nakshatrasoochi or astrology. Though Manu had not really barred the practice pf astrology he did prevent astrologers, physicaians and temple priests among some others from being invited to the Pitrikarya, where only poor brahmins are required to be invited. These anti-Hindu idiots do not realise that their very statement shows that Manu was aware of the practice of astrology in the Hindu society in his times. Firstly these crooks had not quoted the exact verse of what Manu said as that itself will expose their lies.These crooks are very curious to know where Manu said that the king should keep astrologers as they have never read the complete work of Manu themselves. I am waiting to see if they would put a bet on it (which of course they are bound to

loose) and then many among the astrlogers may even be motivated to find out where Manu said like that.Regards,Sunil K. Bhattacharjya--- On Sun, 11/1/09, S.C. Kursija <sckursija wrote:S.C. Kursija <sckursijaRe: Medini Jyotisha Date: Sunday, November 1, 2009, 6:14 AM

Respected Sh. Sushil Bhattacharya ji,

Thanks for sparing your valuable time. Manu has advised to appoint an astrologer, but which astrologer. One who advises for the career. victory over enemy or marriage of children or progeny. No only those astrologer who can foresee the coming event. If some one had foreseen the fire of Jaipur, he would have saved one thousand crores of rupee and property and lose of lives.

Dear Kursijaji,As an astrologer you sure know that in astrology one has to apply the mind to find out the things. It seems that before Rajiv Gandhi died one astrologer from the North-East india predicted that he was likely to die as he looked into his eight house at that point of time whereas most of the other astrologers never imagined such a possibility. Whether the fire in Jaipur could have been predicted or not may be a subject of discussion now in the forum.As regards your question as to what type of astrologer was to be appointed by the king I read an article almost 30 years ago in the Journal of Chemical Engineering.regarding hiring of people. It says that when you hire a person you hire the whole man ie. you allow the man to contribute to his best all that he can. Hiring a person and not utilising his capability to the full

is criminal a waste of talent and the person also may not stick to you if you have such a compartmentalised approach. Thus I think the king was suposed to hire the whole astrloger. You may be surprised that Kankah in the 8th century CE taught military astrology among other things to the Arabs at the court of the caliph in Baghdad.Regards,Sunil K.
