Guest guest Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 Namaste Sanjay P, I agree with this view. While natal chart, its dasas and transits are giving valuable insight based only on karmas done until birth, prasna chart includes karmas in this life also, done until the prasna. It is based on the " upto-date destiny " . Though several people often see charts without a prasna chart accompanying the natal chart, many old astrologers are strict. They see a chart only when the native or somebody close to him approaches then with a specific question and they make a prasna chart in addition to the natal chart. Thanks for the quotes!

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 Dear Narasimha Raoji,  Though it may sound funny I wish to ask a question in view of some astrologers like AKK saying  that they had not succeeded in making predictions correctly. My question is :- Should the astrologer also not ask a question about himself as to whether his prediction will come correct or not ? I mean should astrologer himself not prepare next a prasna chart for his own prasna and see that chart alongwith the two charts of the native. There may be changes in the two prasna charts due to the time-interval between the two prasnas.  Regards,  Sunil K.

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 Sunil ji, As Mr Sanjay P already cited, " a person proceeds to an astrologer to ascertain his future prompted by a Divine force and hence the time of question is equally important " . If the native or the astrologer is not prompted by the Divine force then the Prashna chart will not work. If the native has no belief in astrology or astroger and is merely testing the astrologer, then the Prashna chart will not work. A Prashna chart is made by ANOTHER astrologer, not by oneself. -Vinay Jha ======================== ==== ________________________________ Sunil Bhattacharjya <sunil_bhattacharjya Cc: Wednesday, June 3, 2009 4:32:58 AM Re: Re: Re: Free Will and Destiny reading from chart Dear Narasimha Raoji, Though it may sound funny I wish to ask a question in view of some astrologers like AKK saying that they had not succeeded in making predictions correctly.
