A Journey Into K.N.Rao's Stellar Universe

July 18, 2005

Namaste Energumen,

I remember reading this interview a month and half back. It was a very inspiring interview.

The man is a legend and made tremendous contribution to Jyotisha. To remain a bachelor for the entire life and lead a simple and spiritual life without any bad habits is not something everybody can do. I was touched when I read what he wrote regarding his weakness for tea (I myself am trying to give up tea and have not had it in a few months now).

One would have to be blessed to lead a simple, pious and spiritual life like him.

Of course, when it comes to technical matters, there are several issues where I disagree with him. The Parasari vs Jaimini distinction you refer to below is definitely one thing where I totally disagree with him.

However, despite disagreements, I must say that he is a blessed man and led an exemplary life and there are MANY lessons to learn from him.

I hope his health is good. Based on annual TP chart, June and first half of July seem bad. I hope he is doing ok. May he be blessed with good health and a long life!

On a different note, I am thankful I read this interview because reading this interview led to a chain of events - which I cannot explain here - which led to my discovering that Drigdasa calculations I taught in my book and programmed in JHora were wrong and Parasara's teachings had some differences from what Sanjay ji taught me. Sanjay ji could reconcile with Parasara's teachings and he actually made more sense of it than I could. He, as usual (to him), brilliantly explained a couple of points that seemed odd to me (but unambiguously stated by Parasara). It was this interview that set off a chain of events that resulted in a more correct understanding of Drigdasa! Thanks to Sri KN Rao for indirectly enabling a better understanding of Drigdasa..

May Jupiter's light shine on us,

Narasimha
