Guest guest Posted April 17, 2004 Report Share Posted April 17, 2004 Hi.. I wonder if one or two of you on this list who really like Komilla's book on the nodes could type a quote or two from the book on this list--something that you really feel she hit just right? Does she keep the mansions in the sidereal zodiac or use them with the Tropical signs? I'm asking because I have another one of her books--Barnes & Noble was selling it for $5 when it was originally $25. I wish I'd bought the whole stack of them to give to people. This book has lots of lovely color illustarations, but Komilla combines the nakshatras with the Tropical signs and rulers, which I think isn't a very good way to approach the nakshatras. (The book is INDIAN ASTROLOGY.) Thanks to anyone who can help! Therese Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The others are serious and take a more strictly Vedic approach, though she is more flexible than many other texts. I think she was attempting to bring Vedic astrology to the mass market in a way that would make it more approachable with the book you mention. I don't there is much point in getting small quotes from her work. You need to go a bookshop and browse through her books. Though I see you quote dollars, so she may not be so readily on sale for you as she is in England. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 18, 2004 Report Share Posted April 18, 2004 Hi Therese, I have this book: translated in Dutch. I just sent a shortlist about naksatras to the list 2 days ago. Don't you think that is correct? In what way is she not making a good combination between western and Jyotish? I have understood that in Jyotish the emphasis is more on the moon rather than the sun. Komilla puts in this book the emphasis on the sun, am I correct?

Guest guest Posted April 18, 2004 Report Share Posted April 18, 2004 LOL, I hope you made sense of that garble. I certainly can't. I should stop trying to answer messages first thing in the morning, with a cat on my lap, leaning on the keyboard!

Guest guest Posted April 18, 2004 Report Share Posted April 18, 2004 Hi Morgana, We have seven cats in the house (my daughter and her husband brought her three with them when they came to live with us) so you can imagine the shannigans we have with the computers!!!

Guest guest Posted April 18, 2004 Report Share Posted April 18, 2004 Oh yes Flick, I can see it now. Hope your daughter is doing well with her pregnancy right now; seeing it through as well as she can anyway under difficulties. Soon you will have a new baby, a grandchild and that will bring you great joy. warm wishes, MorganaFlick <rubysun wrote: Hi Morgana,We have seven cats in the house (my daughter and her husband brought herthree with them when they came to live with us) so you can imagine theshannigans we have with the computers!!!Flick.Author website:http://www.witchcraft.org/elenhawke.htmOn 18/4/04 9:19 am, "morgana" <aquatiger1950 wrote:> Hey Flick, don't feel bad, you should see the typing my cat does in his> attempt to prevent me from accessing my keyboard! cheers, Morgana> > Flick <rubysun wrote:LOL, I hope you made sense of that garble.> I certainly can't.

I'm really looking forward to it, though if cats can tangle with computer wiring, can you imagine the fun a toddler could have, given half a chance ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 18, 2004 Report Share Posted April 18, 2004 What is it about us Vedic astrologers? We have 4 cats, had 5 but one died right after Christmas, and they looooooooooove to hang around the computer. I guess they get the most attention that way, as when they position themselves between the user and the monitor screen, how can one help but notice them? ....
