Sunil,

 

Your posting privileges have been suspended for (at least) 6 months:

 

* Whereas your 'indigenous' claims have been dispassionately debunked by a long

citation from an official report published under the authority of Meghnad Saha,

you resort to the unethical tactic of exonerating the latter and accusing Avtar

of being a prime-mover of a worldwide 'anti-Hindu' conspiracy. If you represent

'Hinduism', I don't want any of it on this Abhinavagupta list.

 

* In your haste to repeat your convictions for the umpteenth time, you have

again not bothered to replace Avtar's original post with a hyperlink.

 

* The (brahmin-) frogs in the Rigveda, despite being ritualists as opposed to

'scientists', prayed year-long, and with good humor, for the life-giving rain to

shower on everybody; these dessicated frogs-in-the-well believe there could be

no water outside their small universe.

 

Given your passion for these subjects, 6 months of retirement from forum-posting

should suffice to research and draft separate monographs systematically

expounding your views on the Rashi and Textbook controversies. Please send a

note to the list owner when they are ready, and we can upload them to the Files

sections for further, *constructive*, discussion.

 

Thanks.

Dear friends,

 

Meghnad Saha has never uttered a word that the Rashis are imported. He was a

dedicated scientist. He was a titular head of the committee by virtue of his

being an astrophysicist.  His voice was required in astronomical matters only

if at all. He had not interfered in the decisions of  the Jyotishis. Only an

unscrupulous person will drag Dr. Meghnad Saha's name to any question on the

place of origin of Rashis. When the Vamana purana, Narada purana and the

Bhagavata purana are older than  Varahamihira then why anyone should bring in

Varahamihira's name and not take into account the evidence of the Puranas.

 

Please do'nt trust these enemies of the Hindu Jyotish shastra, who are trying to

prove that the Rashis are imported from the Greeks.

 

Sincerely,

 

Sunil K. Bhattacharjya
