Guest guest Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 Dear ChandraShekhar ji, I really appreciate you for your way of SANSKRIT interpretation of Shlokas, and as you understand SANSKRIT you have very deep knowledge of them too. I am really glad that a great scholar like you is between us. and i am sure none of the members would disagree with me.

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 Dear Chandrashekhar ji I am thankful that my discussions are accpetable and taken in the right spirit,though due to my age and inexperience at times i might have gone emotional.I was sure that you will understand me due to various reasons.My respect for you cannot be influenced by the debates. Regarding Horas,you may kindly understand that,even for Varahamihira there was multiple choices in front of him.I will quote the pramanas late in the evening.For me it seems Surya/Chandra Horas have a broader perspective and Rashi horas have specific purpose. For the same reason i said,Hora can be treated seperately. Let us try to see - Why did some feel Karakamsha has to be seen from Rashi.Why did shri Sanjay Rath feel amshaka has to be seen from Rashi Chakra.Why did Late Santhanam say graha drishtis cannot be possible as per rules set by sage. Now if we combine these concerns with 1)Explanations of Sruthakeerthi,Jeevasharma,Garga,Dashadhyayikara,Klayan Varma (dashadhyayi explains some shlokas as having partial drishtis,justifying your view on kalyan varma aspects) 2)Nadi transit principle 3)Rashi Tulya Principle 4)Definition of Varga by Parashara 5)Rikhsa/Rashi/Bhavana synonyms 6)Karakamsha examples -Bhrigwonkaraka etc 7)Paparksha example 8)Plus numerous other cases which i will mention in my paper- We can arrive at Lagnashadvargas and aspects without violating the rules.

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 Dear Tarun, It is kind of you to say so. I am neither a great Sanskrit scholar nor a learned astrologer.

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 my love for chandrashekharji is boundless and I hope to prove to him one day that I am worthy of his association. with deep love and reverence may I be able to do something for him one day. I know that I don't exhibit a good persona at times but it is my love for him that makes me try to become a better person. it is his boundless love and compassion for human beings that makes him great. maybe bv raman was not only great for his predictions but for his spiritual understanding of the subject. I believe the greatest astrologers not only predict but imbibe the universal truths of astrology into their daily lives and this magic touches us deeply in our soul and that is why we have this boundless love for such a person and that is why we name him guru. guru is equated to jupiter and what is jupiter but one who espouses to teach us the highest truths. chandrashekharji may you always be protected with divine grace and may god bestow upon you more divinity. sincerely, __________ Raja G.

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 Dear Pradeep, I never take any discussion on astro topics personally unless I have reason to believe that they are deteriorating to low level accusations. So do not worry on that count. I am sure you will agree that Varaha Mihira indicates that the Surya and Chandra hora i acceptable to him, so his accepting other horas selectively or otherwise does not arise. I think the members have seen both sides presented and logics discussed ad nauseum. So there would not be any point in talking more on this.
