Rashi in Vedic literature, the Relevant Chronology and the Sidereal

June 21, 2009

Who will post the answer of this, SB.Ppl loose debate but it doesnt mean one

should hide the answers but it doesnt matter as everybody can follow footprints

and can reach to the answers as all ppl know how to use internet and how to

reach the destination of discussions.

Oh let me tell all ppl answer of this:-

Mrigachakra is related to nks, not to Rashis.Please dont do adharma and dont

play with Hinduism.

Half knowledge is very injurious for discussion, you know. So it is better to

listen instead of speaking and speaking and speaking

Dear friends,

In another forum Shri Sarvesh Tiwari had quoted te following verse from the

Mahabharata to show that Astrology was practised in the Mahabharata times.

Mrigachakra is the Zodiac.

Friends,

If some scholar proves that the Mrigachakra is not Rashichakra and tell us what

the Mrigachakra really means then why should anybody feel bad. It will only be

an occasion to feel happy to discover the truth. Only fools take these things as

prestige question and not the real seekers of truth. We are always eager to

know what is the truth. Some idiots hurl dirty abuses when they lose debates but

not everybody. Just hurling abuses do not solve any problem. I tended to agree

with Shri Sarvesh Tiwari's interpretation that Mrigachakra is Zodiac in the

quoted verse from the Mahabharata as the verse says that the Brahman Jyotishis

made astrological predictions on the basis of the planetary configuration and

mentiong the Mrigachakra. Shri Sarvesh Tiwari wrote as follows:

Quote

notice the usage of the term " mR^igachakra " which would be the literal meaning

of " Zodiac " . Also notice that the reference talks of brAhmaNa jyotiShi-s

predicting the imminent victory for the pANDava-s and rout of the kaurava-s on

basis of the muhUrta, relative positions of nakShatra-s etc. It also mentions,

at least in a third person testimony, of the faith people might already have in

this field when these lines were written -- here it says that 'with such

prediction yudhiShThira was already considering his objectives met.'

Unquote

If anybody tells us (1) what the Mrigachakra is, (2) that Mrigachakra is not the

Rashi-chakra and (3) how the Mrigachakra is related to predictive astrology,

then I am sure all the Hindus including me, will be grateful to him and I shall

also inform Shri Sarvesh Tiwari. The above verse anyway proves that predictive

astrology was used in the Mahabharata days and soastrology could not have

been imported from Babylonia and the Greeks. I am sure AKK and his cronies must

be very sad about this.

Sincerely

Sunil K. Bhattacharjya

that theI shall glady forward the reply to Shri Sarvesh Tiwari, who said that

Mrigachakra is Rashi Chakra.ant

Namaste,

Shri.Sunil Bhattacharjya ji,

There is an ancient jyotish Dictionary in Tamil called " Jyotish kadal Akaraadhi "

where in one may try to find out meaning for " mR^igachakra " .

Some twenty years ago, I have seen this rare dictionary in the Library reference

section of Karandhai Tamil Sangam,Thanjavour,TN.

karanthaitamilsangam.com/contact.htm

I think such ancient rare dictionary copies may even be available in Chennai DPI

Laibrary,Nungambakkam,Chennai or at Connemara Public Laibrary,Egmore,Chennai

www.connemarapubliclibrarychennai.com/forPublisher.htm.

Some of our group friends in Chennai / Thanjavour could try to retrive the

meaning from the above sources.

Regards,

D.sathiyanarayana Gupta
