Guest guest Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 Dear Su, It's a growing practice to delay cutting the umbilical cord for several hours, and, in what's known as a 'Lotus Birth', the placenta is left, often for several days, to fall off naturally. We cannot therefore say that T.O.B. is synonymous with the cutting of umbilical cord. I have maintained that Birth occurs when the child is delivered from the mother. This normally coincides with the cutting of umbilical cord i.e. the cord is cut before the placenta itself has been delivered, but is not necessarily so.

I hve however a query which I hope you could help clarify. When is the exact time of birth of a person? Below are some email exchanges on the subject. thank you Su -------- Dera Sue, Thank you for your email, since the verse is from Srimad Bhagavatam, it cannot be contested !! It is the ultimate. After going thru' your email, I referred an old book in which there is a reference on birth. It states from " Dhruvanadi by Satyacharya " , who states : " Horoscope should be cast for the time at which the child falls to the ground - Bhusparsa (touching the earth) " . Here your statement is correct in a way, i.e., a child falls on earth when the umblical cord is cut. (or maybe vice versa too ??) Shailesh ---- Dear Shailesh Thank you for your reply. I had always been under the impression that the correct time was as you mentioned (when the child is fully out of the birth canal), but I came across the foll in Brihaspati.net (quoted here below), according to which it is the time when the chord is cut. Would like to hear yr thoughts on it. Thank you " According to Sanjay and Srila Prabhupada, the time of birth is when the body of the child is fully separated from the body of the mother, i.e. the umbilical chord is cut. Let me quote here from Srila Prabhupada's purport to Srimad Bhagavatam verse 2.10.28. Äsisåpsoù puraù puryä näbhi-dväram apänataù taträpänas tato måtyuù påthaktvam ubhayäçrayam TRANSLATION Thereafter, when He desired to move from one body to another, the navel and the air of departure and death were jointly created. The navel is the shelter for both, namely death and the separating force. PURPORT The präëa-väyu continues the life, and the apäna-väyu stops the living force. Both the vibrations are generated from the abdominal hole, the navel. This navel is the joint from one body to the other. Lord Brahmä was born of the abdominal hole of Garbhodakaçäyé Viñëu as a separate body, and the same principle is followed even in the birth of any ordinary body. The body of the child develops from the body of the mother, and when the child is separated from the body of the mother, it is separated by cutting the navel joint. And that is the way the Supreme Lord manifested Himself as separated many. The living entities are therefore separated parts, and thus they have no independence.But if we would take an ideal case of accurate data, I'm sure they will confirm Maharishi Jamini's principles.

Guest guest Posted April 6, 2008 Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 Respected Ravichandran Ji, Namaskar, From your admission " Even though our ancestors did not have accurate clocks, they were casting horoscopes and predicting events more or less accurately. This may be due to their Thapas or divine power of sixth sense or intution as people may call it. " , you are indirectly accepting that there is no need of correct time of birth and further no need of correctness of any astrological principle. What is more and only important is divine power or intuition. Thus if we have to apply our intuition then certainly there is no need of any astrological principle. But do you find any so-called astrologer, coming out like mushrooms, who may have divine power and rely upon his divine power instead of business tactics. Your 2nd point about the start of life for a human being is also interesting with a view to have interaction. So before we may find the start of life we must know that what is life. We will limit ourselves to scientific field wrt to astrology, instead of religious dogma. Scientifically fertilization of egg will sperm ie bifurcation of cell of egg to two cells is foundation of life and all other system of body including heart and so on is only a developmental part as we continue to grow throughout the life. In this situation how you can work out the time of birth (except test tube babies. Even in this case you have to watch the time of bifurcation of cell after injecting the sperm in to egg). A complicated matter. But during the initial phase of development of astrological principles these questions were not a matter of concern. As predictive astrology was limited to sages who were also busy in finding out a way so that destiny may be decoded and their words were final due to faith. Even today many ignorant individuals are regularly exploited only due to faith on the words of some astrologer. We are only discussing because some where in our subconscious mind we think or know that astrology is bogus but on the other hand we have faith too. Thus we are complex humans, who wants to know the truth but do not want to hear some thing against our faith. By the way Ved says that pregnancy period is 10 months. Sleeping members may please wake up and offer comments, Ravi (Sun) has come. Hi Hi Yours truly, Sanat 6-4-2008 Posted by: " Jagadisan Ravichandran " jnravi jnravi Fri Apr 4, 2008 11:16 am (PDT) Dear Sanatji Bashyamji and other members In continuation of my question I would like to add the following. 1. Even though our ancestors did not have accurate clocks, they were casting horoscopes and predicting events more or less accurately. This may be due to their Thapas or divine power of sixth sense or intution as people may call it. There was also what is known as nimitha, that is certain events taking place around the time of birth, which also go to indicate what will happen in the future, either with reference to an individual or for the country as such. ,,,,,,.............
