BHU Inclusion

[Guest guest]

Shri A. Sharmaji,

Jai Shri Ram!

< instead of

negative criticism, in my opinion, positive criticism and funding is the

solution to propelling BHU to sincerely reform the Panchaang. >

Right from 1985 to 2000 AD, I had

been sending a copy of my Shri Krishen Universal Ephemeris & Panchang to

the HOD of jyotisha in BHU apart from to the VC every year, by registered post,

with a request to peruse the contents and find for themselves as to how the “Shri

Surya Siddhanta” the “divine gospel”, for BHU was talking

about a so called Sayana Rashichakra instead of a so called nirayana

Rashichakra! I never received any response, except for an enquiry in

disguise from the Personal Secretary of the then VC of BHU asking me as to what

Ayanamsah I used for my predictions!

As if that had not been made clear

in the panchaangas!

To cut a long story short, I request

you to go through the couple of translations of the Surya Siddhanta at

http://www.wilbourhall.org/

with patience and see for yourself as to what type of justice BHU

scholars are doing even to “Shri Surya Siddhanta”, leave alone the

Vedas, dharmashastras or Puranas!

The main problem with all such institutions and

dharmacharyas etc. is that they will lose their credibility if they admit now

that all along they had been using the wrong data/procedure for preparing their

own panchaangas and thereby deciding the fasts, festivals and muhurtas for the

entire Hindu community on wrong days! However hard one may try, it is

impossible---and I repeat----it is impossible---to make such institutions

change their stands, just because of false prestige.

I hope this statement of facts also is not taken as “negative

criticism”!

Jai Shri Ram!

A K Kaul

DLokeshji,

 

One of BHU's web-published documents reads:

Dr. Sachchidanand Mishra,

Prof. Dept. of Jyotish,

S.V.D. Vigyan Sankay,

B.H.U.,

Varanasi 221-005.

 

Please note that BHU helped lift Hinduism up at a time when Hinduism was at a

low. Today, it's staff may be suffering from deluded prestige. However,

instead of negative criticism, in my opinion, positive criticism and funding

is the solution to propelling BHU to sincerely reform the Panchaang.

 

At the same time, BHU should note that there are other worthy institutions

who can be given the funding. Therefore, they should " clean " their

Panchaang " house " to enable donors to gladly give-up their

hard-earned wealth to them. It is only because of BHU's past good Karma that

donors are willing to give BHU the first priority.

 

ASharma.

Samskrit Vishwa Vidyalaya Varanasi, kameshar Singh Darbangha Samskrit Vishwa

Vidyalay and Lalit Narain Mithala Vishwa Vidyalay, Darbhanga, LBS Samskrit

Sansthan, New Delhi etc.and the Eminent persons like Swami Ram Dev ji,

, Asha Ram Bapu, Sudhanshu Mahraj, Padmasri JN Kaul Dr Prabhakar Mishra, Dr

Annpoorna ji, Swami Yoganand Saraswati and Ramesh Pokhariyal

'Nisshank' and all the Shankracharyas etc, etc. Copies

of SMKATP-2067 are also being sent to them irrespective to their non response

for the previous desdpatches. I have no hitch in sending a separate copy to

Prof. Sachchidanand Mishra ji if I could know his personal postal address.

standing and thus the responsibility to head such efforts.

 

<Seeing their Panchanga work, I find no room for such a high opinion. How

ever you may continue having such.

Perhaps he could be included in this forum. This may be his email address,

mishraskbhu@ gmail.com .

 

I am CC'ing this email address and also BHU's VC. BHU has the prestigious

standing and thus the responsibility to head such efforts.

 

In addition, we need to band together and help BHU in such efforts by way of

donations and grants.

 

ASharma.
