Science of astrology

[Guest guest]

Dear Ramchandran Ji,

I do not understand as to what you want to say about the correctness of

predictive astrology through your blog (A CRITICAL STUDY ON THE RELIABILITY OF

THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE HELIOS AND THE GEO-CENTRIC COSMIC THEORIES.).

However, I have picked up some points as follows for discussion from your blog

referred by you

>>>>>>>>During 476 C.E …………….It is not sure whether he paid attention to note

the color variations in the Eclipsed planet at the time of Eclipse and further

it is noticed during his time the fixed and the integrated form of the 27

Nakshtras groups which forms the Egg-shaped cosmos might not be

available.<<<<<<<<

I will like to inform you that change in colour during eclipse is due to

penumbra (upchaya) of Earth. If Moon completely pass through penumbra then there

will be no eclipse but brightness of the Moon will dimnish.

Neither Cosmos is not Egg-shaped nor 27 const. are in Egg shape. It is the orbit

of the Planets around the Sun which formed elipticle orbit instead of perfect

circular orbit, which you want to justify.

>>>>>>>Now, anybody can visualize the option for an elliptical orbit is nothing

but to prove the formation of the Eclipses. If a uniform circular orbit of

rotation Earth and Moon around the Sun is to be considered then there will be no

possibility of forming the nodes at different positions as in the elliptical

orbits and there may be no chance of formations of eclipses at an intervals of 6

months and at the same time it has the possibility of formation of eclipses at a

frequent intervals of 15 days when the Sun , Moon and the Earth happens to be at

a straight-line in the cosmos.<<<<<<<

From your above nerration it is quite evident that you have not understood the

motion of the Earth and Moon around the Sun. That's why you are presuming that

eliptical motion is being thrown to meet the condition of eclipse. But it is not

so, because orbit of the Earth (as well as orbit of other planets) is inclined

with reference to the Sun and orbit of the Moon is again inclined with reference

to this orbit by about 5 deg. Hence whenever Sun and Moon happens to be at the

intersection point of the orbit then eclipse occur. It has nothing to do with

cicular motion. Distance of the Sun and Moon also varies between 15 crore to

14.5 crore km approx and abuot 3.7 lakh to 4.5 lakh km respectively. Thus orbits

are eliptical. Eclipse are also not occur at an interval of 6 months. It is

again a wrong concept.

>>>>>>>The Ancient Indians had derived the positions of the Planets in the

Nakshtra Groups covered cosmos next below the Nakshtra groups the following

planets are positioned 1.Saturn,2.Jupiter,3.Mars,4.Sun.5.Venus,6.Mercury,7.Moon

and at the center of the cosmos the Earth is positioned . <<<<<<

Again it is your wrong concept. In which scripture above order of planets is

given. You have just copied it from the books written by the astrologres, who

are just copying it from other books without going in to deep and trying to

confuse simple minded persons like you. Perhaps you may not be aware that

Parashar himself wrote in Vishnu Puran that Moon is far away in comparison to

the Sun means Sun is nearer then Moon from the Fixed Earth and constellations

are just above the Moon but below the Mercury. All astrrological principles

were designed on the basis of such knowledge about the universe. Then how you

can say that astrology is science. Merely by including the latest knowledge

gained by NASA in the astrological books does not prove that astrology is

science. For that you have to prove every principle scientifically (refer msg 1

of this forum)

>>>>>>>……..they had transplanted the Moon as a sub-planet to the Earth and

treated the The Moon as a sub-planet to the Earth and both revolve around the

Sun and assumed to have one year to complete one year and the Moon revolves

around the Earth and had assumed it takes 27.33 days to complete one round

around the Earth.<<<<<<<

It is scientifically proved hence no question of transplanting any concept like

predictive astrology.

>>>>>>But the Ancient Indians had derived the Nakshtra based movements of the

planets and completes one round along and parallel to the petal-line path-way

and take different periods according to their positions in the Cosmos. <<<<<<

But ancient Indians have not devised the concept of Sign, around which whole

structure of predictive astrology has been erected.

>>>>>>Further It is revealed that all the planets have a same speed of

motions.<<<<<

By whom?

I hope you will explain above points.

Thanks

Yours truly,
