Guest guest Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 Dear Group, For the benefit of those members who have recently joined JV I'd like to point out the intention of this group and how it differs from most other groups. The largest and most active groups (of course) are those that offer free readings to the general public. These groups quite naturally attract a large membership. This group, on the other hand, is primarily a discussion group intended for the sharing and (therefore) better understanding of the principles of Parasara jyotish. Many have joined over the years but soon leave when they realise it's not the place to get a free reading. Those that have stayed have contributed greatly to the better understanding of this divine science through friendly discussion and (hopefully) some have learnt something themselves :-) I have often been accused of being overly strict in not allowing this group to follow the path of so many others by inviting requests for free readings from the general public. Many keen astrologers have joined, hoping to build their reputation by offering these readings and have left disappointed when they realised this was not the place for them to do that. Although some of those dissatisfied astrologers have spoken out vehemently against Jyotish-Vidya, it remains today a place for intelligent discussion amongst astrologers and students of astrology. It's foolish to compare a discussion group like JV with other groups offering advice to the general public who, on the whole, have no knowledge of, or interest, in jyotish other than to get answers to their questions i.e. 'when will I get married'; 'when will I be rich'; 'my mother-in-law doesn't like me, what can I do'. Of course these questions are important to people, but the place to ask them is not on a discussion group... Having said that, of course individual charts are taken up for study and discussion...but this implies that the owner of the chart is a sincere student who is capable of entering into the discussion. Best Wishes, Mrs.Wendy http://JyotishVidya.com ________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 Dear Wendy, I am not too sure if you or other old timers on JV like Mr Ravindramani will remember me; I used to be very active on JV towards end of 2004 and till mid 2005. Then I stopped altogether; not just from contributing in JV but even from all work or reading associated with Jyotish. In Oct 2008 as I was rearranging my library I came across my Jyotish books and Jyotish since then as taken hold of me once again. I am still not too sure about my committment to Jyotish. As a 57 year old I have now ordered my life in such a way that in mundane life I just do my 'duty' and spend most of my time on reading books on Vedanta, Bhagwad Geeta etc and life stories of greats like Ramana maharishi, Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, and others. This being my natural inclination, I still don't know where Jyotish fits in but Jyotish having reclaimed me recently, refuses to let go of me. One of the mistakes I did on my last association with Jyotish was reading too much from the net on Jyotish. I was a member of most Jyotish groups and d to many free Jyotish news letters. In retrospect I think this was not right - wallowing in darkness does not make anyone knowledgeable. So this time around I have kept away from the net with one very important exception - that of reactivating receipt of mails from JV. Wendy, because of your insistence that the group concentrated only on healthy discussions on Parasara jyotish, JV has been and still is remarkably free from the type of nonsense that pervades the rest of the net and hence provides excellent learning opportunities. And what one picks up from JV, because of your insistence that we stick to Parasara, is authentic knowledge. Since Oct 2008, the only reading that I have been doing is on Jyotish. I still have many more of my books to read but as of now I have reconnected with much of the knowledge I forgot through disuse. I have also been reading the mails from JV. I was waiting for an opportunity to resurface and Wendy, your mail on the purpose of the group gave me that perfect opportunity. So here I am back once again on JV. Another mistake I did last time around was not doing enough 'retrospective research' i.e. pick up the horoscope of a person whose life you know about and relate the horoscope to it. So I have collected from Astrobank birth details of about 75 personalities where Astrobank has rated the brth time as 'AA'; which means that the birth time is from a Birth certificate and hence is very reliable. Horoscopes of a few of these personalities like Albert Einstein, Marilyn Monroe etc. have already been dealt with exhaustively by various books on jyotish. Even leaving them out, there are enough people whose horoscopes atleast for me will be uncharted territory. As and when I take up these people's horoscopes for study, I intend sharing my findings with members of JV. A little later in the day I intend looking at Uttara's son's horoscope and if I have any worthwhile to say, I will resume my contributions on Jyotish with that. With warm regards to you and all members of the JV family, Venkat On Fri, Jan 16, 2009 at 8:50 AM, Mrs. Wendy <jyotishvidyawrote: > Dear Group, > > For the benefit of those members who have recently joined JV I'd like to > point out the intention of this group and how it differs from most other > groups.

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 Dear Mrs Wendy,Venkatraman and others, My experience too dates back with JV 2005 and happy with the kind of emerging thoughts in this group. Inter group rivaleries certainly not good for the jyotish.Mr Venkat Raman is therfore right in his observations: " Wendy, because ofyour insistence that the group concentrated only on healthy discussions onParasara jyotish, JV has been and still is remarkably free from the type of nonsense that pervades the rest of the net and hence provides excellent learning opportunities. And what one picks up from JV, because of your insistence that we stick to Parasara, is authentic knowledge.

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 Dear Mrs Wendy, Though I haven't posted anything in the forum for quite sometime,this is the only group I care to visit on a regular basis. The reason for this is the structured approach you have taken by not mixing the various systems of jyotish. I am someone who tends to fill in a lot of information from what catches my eye, but your simplistic style of teaching has inspired me to focus on one thing at a time. For that reason, I never misses a post made by you. This is one group that sparks intellectual interests and practises healthy discussion. I truly admire the way you have led the group with integrity and passion. I wholeheartedly support the purpose of this group.

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 Dear Wendy ji, I think everyone who has been there on the groups for a long time, understands this. There are two types of groups, the " Generalist " Groups and then the " Specialist " groups. The Specialist groups focus strictly on specializing on certain techniques or systems. Such groups are quite strict in maintaining a decorum and a policy and procedure on what can go on in that group and what can't. It is also natural that the discussions in such groups are Quality focused and smaller in number. It is also expected that the members can use the Archive features to dig up discussions that have been held in past so as to learn from them. In such groups, only the serious folks who are focused on learning contribute and discuss concepts. Such people, in general, have reached a certain level of maturity and understanding where in they are looking for a " learning " platform or " sharing " platform to meet the like minded people with who they can discuss and share their thoughts. Your group is one such group. The others like JV or VA are different. Those groups serve another purpose for people. Out there, people are not there to learn, but the mind set is more of a generalist. People can get good charts to practice, and some to get clients and some to display their knowledge, but learning is not the main theme. Topics are not discussed in length and there is a lot of finger pointing and slandering going on off late. But that is to be expected, as the moderation levels are considerably lower levels, or the moderators get involved when things go very personal to levels that are not acceptable to the general society. This is also a platform where people come to get free readings. So this serves as a good platform for those who want to practice. Both lists serve different needs of the public. Those seeking to learn and those seeking advise and for those who would like to have access to charts which are thrown yin and yang on such lists which might serve to be quite useful for those who want to practice what they have learnt. For a Specialist group, it is better not to have a lot of members, but whatever members are there are truly interested and the discussions are lesser but quality focused. For Generalist groups, its better to have larger numbers and more general discussion on general reading / remedy requests, so the focus is more on numbers and quantity. Just my thoughts. Please take care of your health Wendy. Cheers !!! Ash -> <http://www.ashtro.ca/> http://www.ashtro.ca jyotish-vidya [jyotish-vidya ] On Behalf Of Mrs. Wendy Thursday January 15, 2009 10:20 PM Jyotish-Vidya Purpose of this group Dear Group, For the benefit of those members who have recently joined JV I'd like to point out the intention of this group and how it differs from most other groups. The largest and most active groups (of course) are those that offer free readings to the general public. These groups quite naturally attract a large membership. This group, on the other hand, is primarily a discussion group intended for the sharing and (therefore) better understanding of the principles of Parasara jyotish. Many have joined over the years but soon leave when they realise it's not the place to get a free reading. Those that have stayed have contributed greatly to the better understanding of this divine science through friendly discussion and (hopefully) some have learnt something themselves :-) I have often been accused of being overly strict in not allowing this group to follow the path of so many others by inviting requests for free readings from the general public. Many keen astrologers have joined, hoping to build their reputation by offering these readings and have left disappointed when they realised this was not the place for them to do that. Although some of those dissatisfied astrologers have spoken out vehemently against Jyotish-Vidya, it remains today a place for intelligent discussion amongst astrologers and students of astrology. It's foolish to compare a discussion group like JV with other groups offering advice to the general public who, on the whole, have no knowledge of, or interest, in jyotish other than to get answers to their questions i.e. 'when will I get married'; 'when will I be rich'; 'my mother-in-law doesn't like me, what can I do'. Of course these questions are important to people, but the place to ask them is not on a discussion group... Having said that, of course individual charts are taken up for study and discussion...but this implies that the owner of the chart is a sincere student who is capable of entering into the discussion.

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 Dear Mrs. Wendy, this is phani, and i am a new member to this group. Being a smaller one compared to others, i do expect good participation from people here. Just wanted to drop in and say hi. I have been following PVR Narsimha sir's SJC mp3s as a beginner, and i do have doubts about the things that i come across. I have observed that the disucssions here are mainly - members expressing their doubts , instead of personal readings, which shows this is a good place to learn. I would be an active member of this group and as a beginner, would like you people to discuss about Parivartana Yoga. 1) When you talk of Parivartana Yoga, do you talk of friendship / enemity between the planets also ? Ex : Sun in Libra + Ve in Leo . etc ? 2) When do you say, a Parivartana Yoga is active ? when the respective planets / houses activated. ( like Sun/ Venus Dasa,AD etc ) or do you just replace these planets in the horoscope from the word go. 3) Rahu / Ketu do they qualify for this Parivartana Yoga. 4) Are there any favourable / unfavourable PYs as such between the pairs, predefined ? thanks in advance, phani Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 I've been a regular reader of this forum and a learner though I'm not posting much offlate and being a silent reader. I've had the good fortune to interview Mrs.Wendy. Its posted on her website. This is indeed a wonderful place to learn and discuss Jyotish. The Jyotish experts like here are very responsive and willing to share information. This group has stuck to its purpose which is to learn and discuss Jyotish and not to go astray with offering readings. Mrs. Wendy , please continue your good work and guide us in learning Jyotish.

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 Nice to hear from you Ash :-) Best Wishes, Mrs.Wendy http://JyotishVidya.com ________________________ - " Ash's Corner " <kas <jyotish-vidya > Saturday, January 17, 2009 1:58 AM RE: Purpose of this group Dear Wendy ji, I think everyone who has been there on the groups for a long time, understands this. There are two types of groups, the " Generalist " Groups and then the " Specialist " groups. The Specialist groups focus strictly on specializing on certain techniques or systems. Such groups are quite strict in maintaining a decorum and a policy and procedure on what can go on in that group and what can't. It is also natural that the discussions in such groups are Quality focused and smaller in number. It is also expected that the members can use the Archive features to dig up discussions that have been held in past so as to learn from them. In such groups, only the serious folks who are focused on learning contribute and discuss concepts. Such people, in general, have reached a certain level of maturity and understanding where in they are looking for a " learning " platform or " sharing " platform to meet the like minded people with who they can discuss and share their thoughts. Your group is one such group. The others like JV or VA are different. Those groups serve another purpose for people. Out there, people are not there to learn, but the mind set is more of a generalist.

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 Dear Phani, ///1) When you talk of Parivartana Yoga, do you talk of friendship / enemity between the planets also ? Ex : Sun in Libra + Ve in Leo . etc ?/// What does our own common sense tell us when assessing (any) close relationship (sambandha) between planets? ///2) When do you say, a Parivartana Yoga is active ? when the respective planets / houses activated. ( like Sun/ Venus Dasa,AD etc ) or do you just replace these planets in the horoscope from the word go./// It's probably best to focus on one point initially so that it can be discussed at length in order to be fully understood. Many questions at one time can be like a bit of a quiz. However, I will say (for now) that, for instance, if lagna lord exchanges signs with another planet this will be indelibly imprinted on the native's psychological nature/personality. ///3) Rahu / Ketu do they qualify for this Parivartana Yoga./// No! ///4) Are there any favourable / unfavourable PYs as such between the pairs, predefined ?/// Absolutely! Consider dainya-parivartana yoga, khala-parivartana yoga and maha-parivartana yoga... But I'm sure you/re familiar with this already?

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 Dear Wendy, Namaskar. I do not even know if you still remember me. How have you been? I have not been too active lately due to other preoccupations. I have always appreciated the way you have upheld the principles of the group and not let gossip- mongers, perpetrators of malice and other self-professed ' gurus'hijack it. This is not a group for advertising or settling 'jyotish scores'. Though I may not be active, I still do keep in touch with group by reading messages. I can never forget the solace and help I received from a few jyotishas during periods of extreme turmoil and only hope I can repay the debt in some manner.

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 Dear Manasa, Mrs Wendy, Mansasa has sumed up most o f what can be said and one line that I must still state is the unmixed systems even with applying Parasaras principles one life is not enough to exploi t its depth and range and we may study other systems for knowing its content, but application-Parasara stands out, like Late B V RAMAN ji has studied many works, vedas in depth but stuck to the core essence of PARASARA and his workl, life suggest THAT WE CAN ONLY but follow someone as dedicated, he lived in times whien most of the society was sincere, now we have more superficial knowledge ppl mixing systems or inventing systems and adding more confusion than solving it, thus damaging th great subject Wheenever time has permited I have been here. I hope to spen sometime more by Mid march on forums But I do feel a mix of cases studies can help it can be close to free readings but need not be the basis to reply to any case here LIVE EXAMPLES help the aspiring and the well versed equally, by giving more textual refefences and may be a sumary line for them both sides can be satisfied the advantage of not stepping on someones reading here is at least assued here we can differ in views not coment on what we differ. eps in a personal manner Prashant On 1/16/09, m2sangeeth <m2sangeeth wrote: > > > Dear Mrs Wendy, > > Though I haven't posted anything in the forum for quite > sometime,this is the only group I care to visit on a regular basis. > The reason for this is the structured approach you have taken by not > mixing the various systems of jyotish.
