[Guest guest]

Shri Sunil Nair ji,

Namaskar!

 

Thank you for the feedback.

<Each ritu comprehends two solar months, i.e. the period

of the sun's marching through two consecutive zodiacal signs.

read this 1000 times till ur budhi is stable ,what is

zodiacal signs ???is it not rasi ???>

Alberuni visited India in 11th century and recorded

faithfully as to what he gathered from his interaction with the Hindus.

Rashis came to India after the Surya Sidhanta of Maya the mlechha,

and that was most probably in about second century BC or so, i.e., much earlier

than Aleberuni’s visit to India. Those rashis were/are so called

sayana.

Those very so called sayana rashis were faithfully

reproduced by all the Puranas like Bhagawata, Vishnudharmotara, Shiva Purana

etc. etc. especially the Vishnu Purana of Parashara Rishi, second amsha, eighth

adhyaya. That means that if at all there is any truth in the so called

Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra, by Parashara Rishi, which is actually a

concoction of the worst order, that truth is that predictive gimmicks have to

take into account so called sayana and not nirayana rashis! All those

rashis in the Puranas are, as such, later interpolations. This will be

evident from Vishnudharmotarapurana, that has reproduced the planetary

arguments of Brahma Sphuta Sidhanta of Brahma Gupta without bating an

eyelid! Similarly, Narada Purana the bible of " Vedic

astrologers " has copied without any compunction even the interpolated

shlokas of Ayanamsha from the Surya Sidhanta and incorporated them in Narada

Purana! To crown it all, " Nara Muni " has made that ayanamsha

equal to Lahiri Ayanamsha, more or less, by such a jugglery which would put to

shame even the devil himself.

Such an act was not expected at least from Narada

Muni!

We have similar atrocities in Agni Purana!

But then, it is jyotishis who are doing all these mischief!

All these facts about Sayana rashis etc. have been culled in

BVB6.doc, which is available in files section.

Shaivacharya Abhinavagupta, the world famous Tantracharya of

Kashmir, of tenth century AD, has also talked of nothing but Sayana

Rashis in his Tantraloka. Those references also are in the BVB6.doc

The so called nirayana rashichakra is a much later

development in India, and it came into full vogue after Grahalaghava by Ganesha

Daivajnya. The word Ayanamsha was coined for the first time by Munjala

--- around tenth century AD---but that was in an entirely different sense to

what the jyotishis are doing these days! Munjala had advised that in

order to make the calculated results tally exactly with the visible phenomena,

we must add an Ayanamsha of one arc minute per year from Shaka 444 to the

calculated longitudes of the Surya Sidhanta etc. That means he wanted to change

so called nirayana into so called sayana. But Ganesha Daivajnya put the

cart before the horse and advised to do exactly opposite to the same, i.e.

change so called sayana into nirayana!

No Indian astronomer had any idea about precession of

equinoxes at least till about fifteenth century AD.

< what happened to ur vedick calender ??? which U

promised u will show to this grp ??>

A list of correct dates of festivals for 2009-10 is already

available in the files section. Tithi, Karna, Vara remain the same, in

the so called nirayana and the so called sayana. There is, however, a lot of

confusion about junction stars vis-a-vis 27 nakshatras, each being of 13.3333

degrees. Those junction stars cannot be accommodated in the respective

divisions whatever ayanamsha we may use. Ayanamsha, in the sense it is

being used these days, itself is yet another myth, created by jyotishis and

that is why they are never able to determine the actual date " when the two

zodiacs coincided " . Zodiac being an imaginary belt, it should not

have been difficult for jyotishis to make them meet on any imaginary day or time

they want to.

Thus we can see that Alberuni has recorded only the facts

i.e. Meshadi was the day of Vernal Equinox –around March 21 these days---as

against the whimsical and farcical April 14/15 of “Vedic

astrologers”, which has absolutely no geographical or scriptural

sanction! Similarly, Makaradi, the world famous Makara Sankranti, was the

day of Winter Solstice, i.e. the day of Uttarayana, which is around December 21

these days, instead of January 14/15, another whimsical date fixed by “Vedic

astrologers’ without any rhyme or reason, just to misguide the Hindu

community as a whole!
