My last question, before I proceed to the scientific astrology- the science of light and vision(darshan)centred on astronomy.I shall henceforth proceed to what is the purush in the scientific terms, if you want me to shed light from the scientific point of view.I will try to remind you what dharma shastras say about the purush.Instead of quarreling on such a respectable topic,let us be amiable and repectful to one another..thank you, > regards, > Hari Malla > > > , Vinay Jha <vinayjhaa16@> wrote: > > > > Malla Ji, > > > > You are repeating your offensive language : " you know too much, you have no time to digest and > > summarise them all.

I did not mean divyadin. You might have missed my earlier mails in AIA, where I said that 1700 Divya varsha or Solar year is equal to 3030 Lunar Nakshatriya year or Human year, according to Purana ie. the Fifth Veda. Don't be impatient. When you get to read the Vayu purana then you will know it. > > > > Vinay Jha threw a challenge that If I cannot show the mention of Sankhya in Svetasvatara Upanishad then I am an idiot and If I can show that Svetasvatara mentions Sankhya then he is an idiot. Now I had shown to him in my reply that Svetasvatara Upanishad does mention Sankhya in verse 13 of Chapter 6. Now I am sure he will not have the moral courage to admit that he lost the challenge. He may now avoid me. as he has no face. > > > > SKB > > > > --- On Wed, 7/15/09, harimalla@rocketmai l.com <harimalla@rocketmai l.com> wrote: > > > > harimalla@rocketmai l.com <harimalla@rocketmai l.com> > > Re: Sunil Bhattacharjya Cites Scriptures Falsely !!! > > > > Wednesday, July 15, 2009, 4:36 AM > > > > Dear Jhaaji, > > I marvel at the amount of knowledge you have.Sometimes I think because you know too much, you have no time to digest and summarise them all.So prhaps knowing less may also be beneficial sometimes. > > Sorry for my attributing characteristics of which you have no such intentions to have.I may be wrong.So forgive me. > > But Vivekananda is a man of great repute.He has said what I have mentioned.Kapil muni is also described as the son of Deevahuti in Bhagvat purana.This version of Kapil muni seems to be different, since here he is more of a devotee praising God rather than a man of gyan (knowledge), who is often said to be atheistic.I have heard Prabhupada say the two are different. > > But let me say directly what I wanted to say. > > My intention is that a person may have gyan or infinite knowledge but he may be still a dwait-bad.This is clarified by the sloka of yoga sutra which you think is my short cut to knowledge.Since, 'when knowledge becomes infinite prakriti is still there in a small form', purush and prakriti are still existing in two different forms even to a gyani.This was my intention. Thus a person full of gyan, as Shri Krishna mentions in the Gita praising samkhya, may still think the knower and the known are different things, although the known has become very small for him.A person who has overome maya may not say that he and maya are the same, as we find adwatin like Adi-Shankaracharya mention of the sameness of the rope and the serpent. > > I hope you agree with me. > > About shri Bhattacharjyaji' s claim that a divya varsha is one solar year,I think he may have meant divya din, and 'varsha' may have slippped from his mouth.This is not so important that we have to pursue the matter so thoroughly.But when I say there is no cycle of 360 years and it is only symbolic, one ought to think seriously. > > Regards, > > Hari Malla > > > > , Vinay Jha <vinayjhaa16@ ...> wrote: > > > > > > Mr Malla, > > > > > > This is an astrological forum and you have no interest in astrology. > > > > > > You have started using foul words for me ( " Knowing your slippery nature " ) and ('since you boast so much on shastrartha, you will deny even when you are convinced " ). > > > > > > Before levelling false charges of dishonesty on me, you ought to have provided some proof where I did show evidence of " slippery nature " ? SKB cites texts falsely, and when caught red handed, he slips to citing other texts falsely, but he is not slippery and sdishonest for you !! He takes a daily dose of two tolas of wine before discussiong Dharmashaastras. He will be a good company for you, excuse me.

Ytou should find a proper label for the persons who are always on the look out for some monk to abuse and attack, I do not want to use foul words. I have too many tasks. I teach philosophy only to the worthy. For you, these things are means of passing your idle time.

Guest guest Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 Dear Bhattacharjyaji and Jahhaji, Since both of you are so proficienct in the high philosohies,why are we neglecting it in the practical aspects.Why do we go to only worldly things like predictions only and turning your deaf ears to the correct maintenance of the Dharmas shastras.You know our dharma shatras are based on the timely celebration of the festivals.Do you not think it is your first duty to have correct celebrations rather than the so called indefinite nirayan jyotish shastras,which even surya sidhanta does not recommend,and which is taking our festivals away from the correct dates.

My last question, before I proceed to the scientific astrology- the science of light and vision(darshan)centred on astronomy.I shall henceforth proceed to what is the purush in the scientific terms, if you want me to shed light from the scientific point of view.I will try to remind you what dharma shastras say about the purush.Instead of quarreling on such a respectable topic,let us be amiable and repectful to one another..thank you, > > regards, > > Hari Malla > > > > > > , Vinay Jha <vinayjhaa16@> wrote: > > > > > > Malla Ji, > > > > > > You are repeating your offensive language : " you know too much, you have no time to digest and > > > summarise them all.

I did not mean divyadin. You might have missed my earlier mails in AIA, where I said that 1700 Divya varsha or Solar year is equal to 3030 Lunar Nakshatriya year or Human year, according to Purana ie. the Fifth Veda. Don't be impatient.

Now I had shown to him in my reply that Svetasvatara Upanishad does mention Sankhya in verse 13 of Chapter 6. Now I am sure he will not have the moral courage to admit that he lost the challenge.

Thus a person full of gyan, as Shri Krishna mentions in the Gita praising samkhya, may still think the knower and the known are different things, although the known has become very small for him.A person who has overome maya may not say that he and maya are the same, as we find adwatin like Adi-Shankaracharya mention of the sameness of the rope and the serpent. > > > I hope you agree with me. > > > About shri Bhattacharjyaji' s claim that a divya varsha is one solar year,I think he may have meant divya din, and 'varsha' may have slippped from his mouth.This is not so important that we have to pursue the matter so thoroughly.But when I say there is no cycle of 360 years and it is only symbolic, one ought to think seriously. > > > Regards, > > > Hari Malla > > > > > > , Vinay Jha <vinayjhaa16@ ...> wrote: > > > > > > > > Mr Malla, > > > > > > > > This is an astrological forum and you have no interest in astrology. > > > > > > > > You have started using foul words for me ( " Knowing your slippery nature " ) and ('since you boast so much on shastrartha, you will deny even when you are convinced " ). > > > > > > > > Before levelling false charges of dishonesty on me, you ought to have provided some proof where I did show evidence of " slippery nature " ? SKB cites texts falsely, and when caught red handed, he slips to citing other texts falsely, but he is not slippery and sdishonest for you !! He takes a daily dose of two tolas of wine before discussiong Dharmashaastras. He will be a good company for you, excuse me.

Ytou should find a proper label for the persons who are always on the look out for some monk to abuse and attack, I do not want to use foul words. I have too many tasks. I teach philosophy only to the worthy. For you, these things are means of passing your idle time.

Guest guest Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 Malla Ji, You ask : <<< " For the mukta where does the prakriti go? " >>> If someone is shutting his eyes and thinks it is night, but finds it is day when he opens his eyes, should we ask " where did the night go which he saw while his eyes were shut ? " The answer lies in previous message : " If something exists in ignorance and vanishes after knowledge, then it must be maayaa and untruth " . Before learning " scientific " logy or astroastronomy from you, you must qualify as a teacher. Tell me how to make the differential equation of Mean Moon suitable for computiong mean position with precision for 40000 years. Or, if you are expert in siddhantic astronomy, which you must be because you talk like an omniscient, please teach me what is the formula of mandaphala (equation of centre) used for Mars or jupiter in the earlist extant Suryasiddhantic Tables known as Makaranda-saarani. If you can answer any of these questions, I will become your student and will close down all nine panchangas being published on the basis of my software. If you fail, please stop bragging about your superior knowledge in matters you do not understand. -VJ ============================= === ________________________________ " harimalla " <harimalla Thursday, July 16, 2009 7:34:40 AM Re: Sunil Bhattacharjya and Vinay Jhaa both cite the scriptures correctly!!! , " harimalla@. ..

My last question, before I proceed to the scientific astrology- the science of light and vision(darshan) centred on astronomy.I shall henceforth proceed to what is the purush in the scientific terms, if you want me to shed light from the scientific point of view.I will try to remind you what dharma shastras say about the purush.Instead of quarreling on such a respectable topic,let us be amiable and repectful to one another..thank you, > regards, > Hari Malla > > > , Vinay Jha <vinayjhaa16@ > wrote: > > > > Malla Ji, > > > > You are repeating your offensive language : " you know too much, you have no time to digest and > > summarise them all.

I did not mean divyadin. You might have missed my earlier mails in AIA, where I said that 1700 Divya varsha or Solar year is equal to 3030 Lunar Nakshatriya year or Human year, according to Purana ie. the Fifth Veda.

Now I had shown to him in my reply that Svetasvatara Upanishad does mention Sankhya in verse 13 of Chapter 6. Now I am sure he will not have the moral courage to admit that he lost the challenge.

Thus a person full of gyan, as Shri Krishna mentions in the Gita praising samkhya, may still think the knower and the known are different things, although the known has become very small for him.A person who has overome maya may not say that he and maya are the same, as we find adwatin like Adi-Shankaracharya mention of the sameness of the rope and the serpent. > > I hope you agree with me. > > About shri Bhattacharjyaji' s claim that a divya varsha is one solar year,I think he may have meant divya din, and 'varsha' may have slippped from his mouth.This is not so important that we have to pursue the matter so thoroughly.But when I say there is no cycle of 360 years and it is only symbolic, one ought to think seriously. > > Regards, > > Hari Malla > > > > , Vinay Jha <vinayjhaa16@ ...> wrote: > > > > > > Mr Malla, > > > > > > This is an astrological forum and you have no interest in astrology. > > > > > > You have started using foul words for me ( " Knowing your slippery nature " ) and ('since you boast so much on shastrartha, you will deny even when you are convinced " ). > > > > > > Before levelling false charges of dishonesty on me, you ought to have provided some proof where I did show evidence of " slippery nature " ? SKB cites texts falsely, and when caught red handed, he slips to citing other texts falsely, but he is not slippery and sdishonest for you !!

Guest guest Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 Malla Ji, " correct maintenance of the Dharmas shastras " cannot be carried out in isolation. besides, most of the pandits never visit fora. You are wasting your time here. You should participate in pandit sabhas in cities like Kashi and Prayaga for reforming our supposedly " outdated " dharmashaastras. Even if all members accept your views, although not a single one can do so, it will have no effect on the pandits and common men. -VJ ======================= == ________________________________ " harimalla " <harimalla Thursday, July 16, 2009 10:04:40 AM Re: Sunil Bhattacharjya and Vinay Jhaa both cite the scriptures correctly!!! Dear Bhattacharjyaji and Jahhaji, Since both of you are so proficienct in the high philosohies, why are we neglecting it in the practical aspects.Why do we go to only worldly things like predictions only and turning your deaf ears to the correct maintenance of the Dharmas shastras.You know our dharma shatras are based on the timely celebration of the festivals.Do you not think it is your first duty to have correct celebrations rather than the so called indefinite nirayan jyotish shastras,which even surya sidhanta does not recommend,and which is taking our festivals away from the correct dates.

My last question, before I proceed to the scientific astrology- the science of light and vision(darshan) centred on astronomy.I shall henceforth proceed to what is the purush in the scientific terms, if you want me to shed light from the scientific point of view.I will try to remind you what dharma shastras say about the purush.Instead of quarreling on such a respectable topic,let us be amiable and repectful to one another..thank you, > > regards, > > Hari Malla > > > > > > , Vinay Jha <vinayjhaa16@ > wrote: > > > > > > Malla Ji, > > > > > > You are repeating your offensive language : " you know too much, you have no time to digest and > > > summarise them all.

I did not mean divyadin. You might have missed my earlier mails in AIA, where I said that 1700 Divya varsha or Solar year is equal to 3030 Lunar Nakshatriya year or Human year, according to Purana ie. the Fifth Veda.

Thus a person full of gyan, as Shri Krishna mentions in the Gita praising samkhya, may still think the knower and the known are different things, although the known has become very small for him.A person who has overome maya may not say that he and maya are the same, as we find adwatin like Adi-Shankaracharya mention of the sameness of the rope and the serpent. > > > I hope you agree with me. > > > About shri Bhattacharjyaji' s claim that a divya varsha is one solar year,I think he may have meant divya din, and 'varsha' may have slippped from his mouth.This is not so important that we have to pursue the matter so thoroughly.But when I say there is no cycle of 360 years and it is only symbolic, one ought to think seriously. > > > Regards, > > > Hari Malla > > > > > > , Vinay Jha <vinayjhaa16@ ...> wrote: > > > > > > > > Mr Malla, > > > > > > > > This is an astrological forum and you have no interest in astrology. > > > > > > > > You have started using foul words for me ( " Knowing your slippery nature " ) and ('since you boast so much on shastrartha, you will deny even when you are convinced " ). > > > > > > > > Before levelling false charges of dishonesty on me, you ought to have provided some proof where I did show evidence of " slippery nature " ? SKB cites texts falsely, and when caught red handed, he slips to citing other texts falsely, but he is not slippery and sdishonest for you !! He takes a daily dose of two tolas of wine before discussiong Dharmashaastras. He will be a good company for you, excuse me.

Ytou should find a proper label for the persons who are always on the look out for some monk to abuse and attack, I do not want to use foul words. I have too many tasks. I teach philosophy only to the worthy. For you, these things are means of passing your idle time.

Guest guest Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 Dear Jhaaji, What you say is also correct. But the scientific answer would be the night has gone inside the day,or the serpent has gone into the rope.The night and the day or the serpent and the rope have become one. prakriti and purush are one Brahmah. You will remember, the example of the spider,which creates the web from within itself.Thus the self creates prakriti from withn itself.prakriti is involved in Brahmah.The earth may be said to be part and parcel of the solar system, it both has and does not have a separate identity. Thus there are several ways to explain. About giving up your business to have friendly discussions with me,I will advise you not to do any such sacrifice.I have no intention to harm your business wether it is on software or on the panchagas.But I will tell you, you do not have to incur any of such lossses to discuss with me.In fact you will lose nothing,I promise.Your doubt of losses is unfounded fear.

My last question, before I proceed to the scientific astrology- the science of light and vision(darshan) centred on astronomy.I shall henceforth proceed to what is the purush in the scientific terms, if you want me to shed light from the scientific point of view.I will try to remind you what dharma shastras say about the purush.Instead of quarreling on such a respectable topic,let us be amiable and repectful to one another..thank you, > > regards, > > Hari Malla > > > > > > , Vinay Jha <vinayjhaa16@ > wrote: > > > > > > Malla Ji, > > > > > > You are repeating your offensive language : " you know too much, you have no time to digest and > > > summarise them all.

I did not mean divyadin. You might have missed my earlier mails in AIA, where I said that 1700 Divya varsha or Solar year is equal to 3030 Lunar Nakshatriya year or Human year, according to Purana ie. the Fifth Veda.

Now I had shown to him in my reply that Svetasvatara Upanishad does mention Sankhya in verse 13 of Chapter 6. Now I am sure he will not have the moral courage to admit that he lost the challenge.

Thus a person full of gyan, as Shri Krishna mentions in the Gita praising samkhya, may still think the knower and the known are different things, although the known has become very small for him.A person who has overome maya may not say that he and maya are the same, as we find adwatin like Adi-Shankaracharya mention of the sameness of the rope and the serpent. > > > I hope you agree with me. > > > About shri Bhattacharjyaji' s claim that a divya varsha is one solar year,I think he may have meant divya din, and 'varsha' may have slippped from his mouth.This is not so important that we have to pursue the matter so thoroughly.But when I say there is no cycle of 360 years and it is only symbolic, one ought to think seriously. > > > Regards, > > > Hari Malla > > > > > > , Vinay Jha <vinayjhaa16@ ...> wrote: > > > > > > > > Mr Malla, > > > > > > > > This is an astrological forum and you have no interest in astrology. > > > > > > > > You have started using foul words for me ( " Knowing your slippery nature " ) and ('since you boast so much on shastrartha, you will deny even when you are convinced " ). > > > > > > > > Before levelling false charges of dishonesty on me, you ought to have provided some proof where I did show evidence of " slippery nature " ? SKB cites texts falsely, and when caught red handed, he slips to citing other texts falsely, but he is not slippery and sdishonest for you !! He takes a daily dose of two tolas of wine before discussiong Dharmashaastras. He will be a good company for you, excuse me. Why are you showering your omniscience on a slippery and dishonest fool like me ? > > > > > > > > I do not want to discuss dvait and advait with saamsaarika persons, who do not try to live according to scriptures. Ytou should find a proper label for the persons who are always on the look out for some monk to abuse and attack, I do not want to use foul words. I have too many tasks. I teach philosophy only to the worthy. For you, these things are means of passing your idle time.

You are wasting your time here. You should participate in pandit sabhas in cities like Kashi and Prayaga for reforming our supposedly " outdated " dharmashaastras. Even if all members accept your views, although not a single one can do so, it will have no effect on the pandits and common men. > > -VJ > ======================= == > > > ________________________________ > " harimalla " <harimalla > > Thursday, July 16, 2009 10:04:40 AM > Re: Sunil Bhattacharjya and Vinay Jhaa both cite the scriptures correctly!!! > > > Dear Bhattacharjyaji and Jahhaji, > Since both of you are so proficienct in the high philosohies, why are we neglecting it in the practical aspects.Why do we go to only worldly things like predictions only and turning your deaf ears to the correct maintenance of the Dharmas shastras.You know our dharma shatras are based on the timely celebration of the festivals.Do you not think it is your first duty to have correct celebrations rather than the so called indefinite nirayan jyotish shastras,which even surya sidhanta does not recommend,and which is taking our festivals away from the correct dates. > Expecting your resonse, > Hari Malla > > , " harimalla@ ..

My last question, before I proceed to the scientific astrology- the science of light and vision(darshan) centred on astronomy.I shall henceforth proceed to what is the purush in the scientific terms, if you want me to shed light from the scientific point of view.I will try to remind you what dharma shastras say about the purush.Instead of quarreling on such a respectable topic,let us be amiable and repectful to one another..thank you, > > > regards, > > > Hari Malla > > > > > > > > > , Vinay Jha <vinayjhaa16@ > wrote: > > > > > > > > Malla Ji, > > > > > > > > You are repeating your offensive language : " you know too much, you have no time to digest and > > > > summarise them all.

I did not mean divyadin. You might have missed my earlier mails in AIA, where I said that 1700 Divya varsha or Solar year is equal to 3030 Lunar Nakshatriya year or Human year, according to Purana ie. the Fifth Veda. Don't be impatient.

Now I had shown to him in my reply that Svetasvatara Upanishad does mention Sankhya in verse 13 of Chapter 6. Now I am sure he will not have the moral courage to admit that he lost the challenge.

Thus a person full of gyan, as Shri Krishna mentions in the Gita praising samkhya, may still think the knower and the known are different things, although the known has become very small for him.A person who has overome maya may not say that he and maya are the same, as we find adwatin like Adi-Shankaracharya mention of the sameness of the rope and the serpent. > > > > I hope you agree with me. > > > > About shri Bhattacharjyaji' s claim that a divya varsha is one solar year,I think he may have meant divya din, and 'varsha' may have slippped from his mouth.This is not so important that we have to pursue the matter so thoroughly.But when I say there is no cycle of 360 years and it is only symbolic, one ought to think seriously. > > > > Regards, > > > > Hari Malla > > > > > > > > , Vinay Jha <vinayjhaa16@ ...> wrote: > > > > > > > > > > Mr Malla, > > > > > > > > > > This is an astrological forum and you have no interest in astrology. > > > > > > > > > > You have started using foul words for me ( " Knowing your slippery nature " ) and ('since you boast so much on shastrartha, you will deny even when you are convinced " ). > > > > > > > > > > Before levelling false charges of dishonesty on me, you ought to have provided some proof where I did show evidence of " slippery nature " ? SKB cites texts falsely, and when caught red handed, he slips to citing other texts falsely, but he is not slippery and sdishonest for you !! He takes a daily dose of two tolas of wine before discussiong Dharmashaastras. He will be a good company for you, excuse me. Why are you showering your omniscience on a slippery and dishonest fool like me ? > > > > > > > > > > I do not want to discuss dvait and advait with saamsaarika persons, who do not try to live according to scriptures. Ytou should find a proper label for the persons who are always on the look out for some monk to abuse and attack, I do not want to use foul words. I have too many tasks. I teach philosophy only to the worthy. For you, these things are means of passing your idle time. For me, saamkhya and yoga are more valuable than the whole world. > > > > > > > > > > Do a japa of the sutra : " when knowledge becomes infinite then the knowable becomes small " .

Guest guest Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 Mr Malla, I knew the type of person you are. Here are my replies to your abuse : <<< " the scientific answer would be the night has gone inside the day,or the serpent has gone into the rope. " >>> It is not " scientific " answer but a mere wordplay. In your hurry to prove the Truth of Prakriti, you are equating the Jada Ptakriti with Conscious Purusha. Reading the texts only will not change your mind (Pothi padha padha jaga muaa...), Saamkhyoga cannot be understood without praanaayaamas, as Shvetaashvatara Upanishada says. A serpent cannot go inside a rope, it is unscientific fact and a literary wordplay. As for your deliberately false remarks against my " business " and my " lossess " ( " business whether it is on software or on the panchagas " ), anyone can download my software freely from many websites whose address have neen declared on these fora many a times, and no one has ever been asked to pay anything in return. I had given you the link of my website and of my profile, which also carries the list of all panchangas made from my software (they are all published by others and not by me) : you could ask them whether I ever charged a paisa for my astrological services, before accusing me of being a chaandaala : you know MBh and Manusmriti says a person earning out of nakshatra-vidyaa is a pankti-gooshaka and a chaandaala (I had told it). I asked you the impossible : you will never be able to solve the mathematical questions put forth by me. You boasted of teaching 'scientific astrology to me ( " I proceed to the scientific astrology " . ), but if you cabaple of it, why you answer my questions in scientific astrology wigth personal attacks and false abuses ??? I already knew your intellectual level , now you are giving evidences of your morality as well. I will not abuse you in return, because I am not same as you. Try to read and learn something before arguing with me. I know I am among certain wrong type of people in these fora who do not honour truth, chastity, recognition by reputed instutututions, etc, and are impudent enough to teach falsehoods unashamedly. Unless you answer the two questions asked by me in previous mail, which will never be able to answer, I will try to keep away from you. I had not abused you, but failing in answering my questions, you have displayed your true character by levelling false charges on me. -VJ ============================= === ________________________________ " harimalla " <harimalla Thursday, July 16, 2009 12:06:42 PM Re: Sunil Bhattacharjya and Vinay Jhaa both cite the scriptures correctly!!! Dear Jhaaji, What you say is also correct. But the scientific answer would be the night has gone inside the day,or the serpent has gone into the rope.The night and the day or the serpent and the rope have become one. prakriti and purush are one Brahmah. You will remember, the example of the spider,which creates the web from within itself.Thus the self creates prakriti from withn itself.prakriti is involved in Brahmah.The earth may be said to be part and parcel of the solar system, it both has and does not have a separate identity. Thus there are several ways to explain. About giving up your business to have friendly discussions with me,I will advise you not to do any such sacrifice.I have no intention to harm your business wether it is on software or on the panchagas.But I will tell you, you do not have to incur any of such lossses to discuss with me.In fact you will lose nothing,I promise.Your doubt of losses is unfounded fear.

My last question, before I proceed to the scientific astrology- the science of light and vision(darshan) centred on astronomy.I shall henceforth proceed to what is the purush in the scientific terms, if you want me to shed light from the scientific point of view.I will try to remind you what dharma shastras say about the purush.Instead of quarreling on such a respectable topic,let us be amiable and repectful to one another..thank you, > > regards, > > Hari Malla > > > > > > , Vinay Jha <vinayjhaa16@ > wrote: > > > > > > Malla Ji, > > > > > > You are repeating your offensive language : " you know too much, you have no time to digest and > > > summarise them all.

I did not mean divyadin. You might have missed my earlier mails in AIA, where I said that 1700 Divya varsha or Solar year is equal to 3030 Lunar Nakshatriya year or Human year, according to Purana ie. the Fifth Veda.

Thus a person full of gyan, as Shri Krishna mentions in the Gita praising samkhya, may still think the knower and the known are different things, although the known has become very small for him.A person who has overome maya may not say that he and maya are the same, as we find adwatin like Adi-Shankaracharya mention of the sameness of the rope and the serpent. > > > I hope you agree with me. > > > About shri Bhattacharjyaji' s claim that a divya varsha is one solar year,I think he may have meant divya din, and 'varsha' may have slippped from his mouth.This is not so important that we have to pursue the matter so thoroughly.But when I say there is no cycle of 360 years and it is only symbolic, one ought to think seriously. > > > Regards, > > > Hari Malla > > > > > > , Vinay Jha <vinayjhaa16@ ...> wrote: > > > > > > > > Mr Malla, > > > > > > > > This is an astrological forum and you have no interest in astrology. > > > > > > > > You have started using foul words for me ( " Knowing your slippery nature " ) and ('since you boast so much on shastrartha, you will deny even when you are convinced " ). > > > > > > > > Before levelling false charges of dishonesty on me, you ought to have provided some proof where I did show evidence of " slippery nature " ? SKB cites texts falsely, and when caught red handed, he slips to citing other texts falsely, but he is not slippery and sdishonest for you !!

Ytou should find a proper label for the persons who are always on the look out for some monk to abuse and attack, I do not want to use foul words. I have too many tasks.

You are wasting your time here. You should participate in pandit sabhas in cities like Kashi and Prayaga for reforming our supposedly " outdated " dharmashaastras. Even if all members accept your views, although not a single one can do so, it will have no effect on the pandits and common men. > > -VJ > ============ ========= == == > > > ____________ _________ _________ __ > " harimalla@. ..

My last question, before I proceed to the scientific astrology- the science of light and vision(darshan) centred on astronomy.I shall henceforth proceed to what is the purush in the scientific terms, if you want me to shed light from the scientific point of view.I will try to remind you what dharma shastras say about the purush.Instead of quarreling on such a respectable topic,let us be amiable and repectful to one another..thank you, > > > regards, > > > Hari Malla > > > > > > > > > , Vinay Jha <vinayjhaa16@ > wrote: > > > > > > > > Malla Ji, > > > > > > > > You are repeating your offensive language : " you know too much, you have no time to digest and > > > > summarise them all.

I did not mean divyadin. You might have missed my earlier mails in AIA, where I said that 1700 Divya varsha or Solar year is equal to 3030 Lunar Nakshatriya year or Human year, according to Purana ie. the Fifth Veda.

Thus a person full of gyan, as Shri Krishna mentions in the Gita praising samkhya, may still think the knower and the known are different things, although the known has become very small for him.A person who has overome maya may not say that he and maya are the same, as we find adwatin like Adi-Shankaracharya mention of the sameness of the rope and the serpent. > > > > I hope you agree with me. > > > > About shri Bhattacharjyaji' s claim that a divya varsha is one solar year,I think he may have meant divya din, and 'varsha' may have slippped from his mouth.This is not so important that we have to pursue the matter so thoroughly.But when I say there is no cycle of 360 years and it is only symbolic, one ought to think seriously. > > > > Regards, > > > > Hari Malla > > > > > > > > , Vinay Jha <vinayjhaa16@ ...> wrote: > > > > > > > > > > Mr Malla, > > > > > > > > > > This is an astrological forum and you have no interest in astrology. > > > > > > > > > > You have started using foul words for me ( " Knowing your slippery nature " ) and ('since you boast so much on shastrartha, you will deny even when you are convinced " ). > > > > > > > > > > Before levelling false charges of dishonesty on me, you ought to have provided some proof where I did show evidence of " slippery nature " ? SKB cites texts falsely, and when caught red handed, he slips to citing other texts falsely, but he is not slippery and sdishonest for you !! He takes a daily dose of two tolas of wine before discussiong Dharmashaastras. He will be a good company for you, excuse me.

Ytou should find a proper label for the persons who are always on the look out for some monk to abuse and attack, I do not want to use foul words. I have too many tasks. I teach philosophy only to the worthy. For you, these things are means of passing your idle time.

Guest guest Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 Dear Jhaaji, Please do not accept or deny before you know what we are discussing.I only ask to continue our discussion about philosohy on the purush, as we have already been doing.Accepting, denying or no-comment is after we have finished discussing the present philosophy on purush. Facing the pundits is my task,I ask you only to continue our present discussions. I have said in my last mail, that the earth both has and does not have a separate identity from the solar system.If we consider the sun with respect to the stars,the earth need not be considered as a separate identity.The earth will be part and parcel of the sun or its internal system.But if we consider the different elements within this system, then the earth may be considerd as a searate identity. Now you well know that in jyotish, the sun is considered as Atma or Brahmah.Our religious scriptures also confirms this. Thus for all practical purposes, we may consider the earth as prakriti and the sun as the Purush.We also find in dharma shastras mentions like this,The purush of the months is the sun.Thus it is necessary for the solar sankranti to be within a lunar month.When solar sankranti does not fall in a lunar month,it is said to be eunuch(napungsak.Thus adhikmas is napungsak, the month without a solar sankranti.This expression is mentioned in Kal madhav in connection with adhmas.It continues to say the purushas or adityas are 12 starting with Arun from the month of Maagha. This truly is where our religius astrology ends up with the purush. Thus purush is not so much of a intangible thing as we are normally prone to think.Those of us who are concerned with astrology should never forget this.

You are wasting your time here. You should participate in pandit sabhas in cities like Kashi and Prayaga for reforming our supposedly " outdated " dharmashaastras. Even if all members accept your views, although not a single one can do so, it will have no effect on the pandits and common men. > > > > -VJ > > ============ ========= == == > > > > > > ____________ _________ _________ __ > > " harimalla@ ..

My last question, before I proceed to the scientific astrology- the science of light and vision(darshan) centred on astronomy.I shall henceforth proceed to what is the purush in the scientific terms, if you want me to shed light from the scientific point of view.I will try to remind you what dharma shastras say about the purush.Instead of quarreling on such a respectable topic,let us be amiable and repectful to one another..thank you, > > > > regards, > > > > Hari Malla > > > > > > > > > > > > , Vinay Jha <vinayjhaa16@ > wrote: > > > > > > > > > > Malla Ji, > > > > > > > > > > You are repeating your offensive language : " you know too much, you have no time to digest and > > > > > summarise them all.

I did not mean divyadin. You might have missed my earlier mails in AIA, where I said that 1700 Divya varsha or Solar year is equal to 3030 Lunar Nakshatriya year or Human year, according to Purana ie. the Fifth Veda. Don't be impatient. When you get to read the Vayu purana then you will know it. > > > > > > > > > > Vinay Jha threw a challenge that If I cannot show the mention of Sankhya in Svetasvatara Upanishad then I am an idiot and If I can show that Svetasvatara mentions Sankhya then he is an idiot. Now I had shown to him in my reply that Svetasvatara Upanishad does mention Sankhya in verse 13 of Chapter 6. Now I am sure he will not have the moral courage to admit that he lost the challenge. He may now avoid me. as he has no face. > > > > > > > > > > SKB > > > > > > > > > > --- On Wed, 7/15/09, harimalla@rocketmai l.com <harimalla@rocketma i l.com> wrote: > > > > > > > > > > harimalla@rocketmai l.com <harimalla@rocketma i l.com> > > > > > Re: Sunil Bhattacharjya Cites Scriptures Falsely !!! > > > > > > > > > > Wednesday, July 15, 2009, 4:36 AM > > > > > > > > > > Dear Jhaaji, > > > > > I marvel at the amount of knowledge you have.Sometimes I think because you know too much, you have no time to digest and summarise them all.So prhaps knowing less may also be beneficial sometimes. > > > > > Sorry for my attributing characteristics of which you have no such intentions to have.I may be wrong.So forgive me. > > > > > But Vivekananda is a man of great repute.He has said what I have mentioned.Kapil muni is also described as the son of Deevahuti in Bhagvat purana.This version of Kapil muni seems to be different, since here he is more of a devotee praising God rather than a man of gyan (knowledge), who is often said to be atheistic.I have heard Prabhupada say the two are different. > > > > > But let me say directly what I wanted to say. > > > > > My intention is that a person may have gyan or infinite knowledge but he may be still a dwait-bad.This is clarified by the sloka of yoga sutra which you think is my short cut to knowledge.Since, 'when knowledge becomes infinite prakriti is still there in a small form', purush and prakriti are still existing in two different forms even to a gyani.This was my intention. Thus a person full of gyan, as Shri Krishna mentions in the Gita praising samkhya, may still think the knower and the known are different things, although the known has become very small for him.A person who has overome maya may not say that he and maya are the same, as we find adwatin like Adi-Shankaracharya mention of the sameness of the rope and the serpent. > > > > > I hope you agree with me. > > > > > About shri Bhattacharjyaji' s claim that a divya varsha is one solar year,I think he may have meant divya din, and 'varsha' may have slippped from his mouth.This is not so important that we have to pursue the matter so thoroughly.But when I say there is no cycle of 360 years and it is only symbolic, one ought to think seriously. > > > > > Regards, > > > > > Hari Malla > > > > > > > > > > , Vinay Jha <vinayjhaa16@ ...> wrote: > > > > > > > > > > > > Mr Malla, > > > > > > > > > > > > This is an astrological forum and you have no interest in astrology. > > > > > > > > > > > > You have started using foul words for me ( " Knowing your slippery nature " ) and ('since you boast so much on shastrartha, you will deny even when you are convinced " ). > > > > > > > > > > > > Before levelling false charges of dishonesty on me, you ought to have provided some proof where I did show evidence of " slippery nature " ? SKB cites texts falsely, and when caught red handed, he slips to citing other texts falsely, but he is not slippery and sdishonest for you !! He takes a daily dose of two tolas of wine before discussiong Dharmashaastras. He will be a good company for you, excuse me.

Ytou should find a proper label for the persons who are always on the look out for some monk to abuse and attack, I do not want to use foul words. I have too many tasks. I teach philosophy only to the worthy. For you, these things are means of passing your idle time.

Guest guest Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 Malla Ji, I am replying without reading you full mail , because the moment I read " discussion about philosohy " , I stopped and decided to advise you to post such discussions on philosophy to non-astrological fora, otherwise I will lodge a complaint against you with moderators. It is an astrological forum. I will neglect all your mails unless and until you answer any of the two questions from me about " scientific astrology " which you boasted you will teach me. -VJ =================== ============= ________________________________ " harimalla " <harimalla Thursday, July 16, 2009 2:23:09 PM Re: Sunil Bhattacharjya and Vinay Jhaa both cite the scriptures correctly!!! Dear Jhaaji, Please do not accept or deny before you know what we are discussing.I only ask to continue our discussion about philosohy on the purush, as we have already been doing.Accepting, denying or no-comment is after we have finished discussing the present philosophy on purush. Facing the pundits is my task,I ask you only to continue our present discussions. I have said in my last mail, that the earth both has and does not have a separate identity from the solar system.If we consider the sun with respect to the stars,the earth need not be considered as a separate identity.The earth will be part and parcel of the sun or its internal system.But if we consider the different elements within this system, then the earth may be considerd as a searate identity. Now you well know that in jyotish, the sun is considered as Atma or Brahmah.Our religious scriptures also confirms this. Thus for all practical purposes, we may consider the earth as prakriti and the sun as the Purush.We also find in dharma shastras mentions like this,The purush of the months is the sun.Thus it is necessary for the solar sankranti to be within a lunar month.When solar sankranti does not fall in a lunar month,it is said to be eunuch(napungsak. Thus adhikmas is napungsak, the month without a solar sankranti.This expression is mentioned in Kal madhav in connection with adhmas.It continues to say the purushas or adityas are 12 starting with Arun from the month of Maagha. This truly is where our religius astrology ends up with the purush. Thus purush is not so much of a intangible thing as we are normally prone to think.Those of us who are concerned with astrology should never forget this.

You are wasting your time here. You should participate in pandit sabhas in cities like Kashi and Prayaga for reforming our supposedly " outdated " dharmashaastras. Even if all members accept your views, although not a single one can do so, it will have no effect on the pandits and common men. > > > > -VJ > > ============ ========= == == > > > > > > ____________ _________ _________ __ > > " harimalla@ ..

My last question, before I proceed to the scientific astrology- the science of light and vision(darshan) centred on astronomy.I shall henceforth proceed to what is the purush in the scientific terms, if you want me to shed light from the scientific point of view.I will try to remind you what dharma shastras say about the purush.Instead of quarreling on such a respectable topic,let us be amiable and repectful to one another..thank you, > > > > regards, > > > > Hari Malla > > > > > > > > > > > > , Vinay Jha <vinayjhaa16@ > wrote: > > > > > > > > > > Malla Ji, > > > > > > > > > > You are repeating your offensive language : " you know too much, you have no time to digest and > > > > > summarise them all.

I did not mean divyadin. You might have missed my earlier mails in AIA, where I said that 1700 Divya varsha or Solar year is equal to 3030 Lunar Nakshatriya year or Human year, according to Purana ie. the Fifth Veda.

Now I had shown to him in my reply that Svetasvatara Upanishad does mention Sankhya in verse 13 of Chapter 6. Now I am sure he will not have the moral courage to admit that he lost the challenge.

Thus a person full of gyan, as Shri Krishna mentions in the Gita praising samkhya, may still think the knower and the known are different things, although the known has become very small for him.A person who has overome maya may not say that he and maya are the same, as we find adwatin like Adi-Shankaracharya mention of the sameness of the rope and the serpent. > > > > > I hope you agree with me. > > > > > About shri Bhattacharjyaji' s claim that a divya varsha is one solar year,I think he may have meant divya din, and 'varsha' may have slippped from his mouth.This is not so important that we have to pursue the matter so thoroughly.But when I say there is no cycle of 360 years and it is only symbolic, one ought to think seriously. > > > > > Regards, > > > > > Hari Malla > > > > > > > > > > , Vinay Jha <vinayjhaa16@ ...> wrote: > > > > > > > > > > > > Mr Malla, > > > > > > > > > > > > This is an astrological forum and you have no interest in astrology. > > > > > > > > > > > > You have started using foul words for me ( " Knowing your slippery nature " ) and ('since you boast so much on shastrartha, you will deny even when you are convinced " ). > > > > > > > > > > > > Before levelling false charges of dishonesty on me, you ought to have provided some proof where I did show evidence of " slippery nature " ? SKB cites texts falsely, and when caught red handed, he slips to citing other texts falsely, but he is not slippery and sdishonest for you !! He takes a daily dose of two tolas of wine before discussiong Dharmashaastras. He will be a good company for you, excuse me.

Ytou should find a proper label for the persons who are always on the look out for some monk to abuse and attack, I do not want to use foul words. I have too many tasks. I teach philosophy only to the worthy. For you, these things are means of passing your idle time.

Guest guest Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 Dear Jhaaji, When I say philosohy on the purush,it is very much a jyotish topic.It is explained how adhimas is eunuch month and does not have purush in it. Thus please do not try to run away from topic which is very much jyotish.please complete reading the mail I had sent and give your comments.Thanks.

Thus adhikmas is napungsak, the month without a solar sankranti.This expression is mentioned in Kal madhav in connection with adhmas.It continues to say the purushas or adityas are 12 starting with Arun from the month of Maagha. > This truly is where our religius astrology ends up with the purush.

You are wasting your time here. You should participate in pandit sabhas in cities like Kashi and Prayaga for reforming our supposedly " outdated " dharmashaastras. Even if all members accept your views, although not a single one can do so, it will have no effect on the pandits and common men. > > > > > > -VJ > > > ============ ========= == == > > > > > > > > > ____________ _________ _________ __ > > > " harimalla@ ..

My last question, before I proceed to the scientific astrology- the science of light and vision(darshan) centred on astronomy.I shall henceforth proceed to what is the purush in the scientific terms, if you want me to shed light from the scientific point of view.I will try to remind you what dharma shastras say about the purush.Instead of quarreling on such a respectable topic,let us be amiable and repectful to one another..thank you, > > > > > regards, > > > > > Hari Malla > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > , Vinay Jha <vinayjhaa16@ > wrote: > > > > > > > > > > > > Malla Ji, > > > > > > > > > > > > You are repeating your offensive language : " you know too much, you have no time to digest and > > > > > > summarise them all.

I did not mean divyadin. You might have missed my earlier mails in AIA, where I said that 1700 Divya varsha or Solar year is equal to 3030 Lunar Nakshatriya year or Human year, according to Purana ie. the Fifth Veda.

Thus a person full of gyan, as Shri Krishna mentions in the Gita praising samkhya, may still think the knower and the known are different things, although the known has become very small for him.A person who has overome maya may not say that he and maya are the same, as we find adwatin like Adi-Shankaracharya mention of the sameness of the rope and the serpent. > > > > > > I hope you agree with me. > > > > > > About shri Bhattacharjyaji' s claim that a divya varsha is one solar year,I think he may have meant divya din, and 'varsha' may have slippped from his mouth.This is not so important that we have to pursue the matter so thoroughly.But when I say there is no cycle of 360 years and it is only symbolic, one ought to think seriously. > > > > > > Regards, > > > > > > Hari Malla > > > > > > > > > > > > , Vinay Jha <vinayjhaa16@ ...> wrote: > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Mr Malla, > > > > > > > > > > > > > > This is an astrological forum and you have no interest in astrology. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > You have started using foul words for me ( " Knowing your slippery nature " ) and ('since you boast so much on shastrartha, you will deny even when you are convinced " ). > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Before levelling false charges of dishonesty on me, you ought to have provided some proof where I did show evidence of " slippery nature " ? SKB cites texts falsely, and when caught red handed, he slips to citing other texts falsely, but he is not slippery and sdishonest for you !! He takes a daily dose of two tolas of wine before discussiong Dharmashaastras. He will be a good company for you, excuse me.

Ytou should find a proper label for the persons who are always on the look out for some monk to abuse and attack, I do not want to use foul words. I have too many tasks. I teach philosophy only to the worthy. For you, these things are means of passing your idle time.

Guest guest Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 Dear Bhattacharjyaji, Although presently you are in Sydney you can also play some role to save our practical philosohy, reflectd in our dharma shastras.Would you like to continue to celebrate uttarayan on makar sankranti even when uttarayan comes to dhanu sankranti.It has already gone wrong since the actual uttarayan is nearer to dhanu sankranti now a days rather than the present makar sankranti.It has already shifted the old purnima zone and entered new purnima zone denoting shift by one lunar month.It is our duty to protect our dharma.we can at least contribute by supporting the right thing. If conscious people like you do not support the cause, then who will.Thank you.

You are wasting your time here. You should participate in pandit sabhas in cities like Kashi and Prayaga for reforming our supposedly " outdated " dharmashaastras. Even if all members accept your views, although not a single one can do so, it will have no effect on the pandits and common men. > > > > > > > > -VJ > > > > ============ ========= == == > > > > > > > > > > > > ____________ _________ _________ __ > > > > " harimalla@ ..

My last question, before I proceed to the scientific astrology- the science of light and vision(darshan) centred on astronomy.I shall henceforth proceed to what is the purush in the scientific terms, if you want me to shed light from the scientific point of view.I will try to remind you what dharma shastras say about the purush.Instead of quarreling on such a respectable topic,let us be amiable and repectful to one another..thank you, > > > > > > regards, > > > > > > Hari Malla > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > , Vinay Jha <vinayjhaa16@ > wrote: > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Malla Ji, > > > > > > > > > > > > > > You are repeating your offensive language : " you know too much, you have no time to digest and > > > > > > > summarise them all.

I did not mean divyadin. You might have missed my earlier mails in AIA, where I said that 1700 Divya varsha or Solar year is equal to 3030 Lunar Nakshatriya year or Human year, according to Purana ie. the Fifth Veda. Don't be impatient.

Now I had shown to him in my reply that Svetasvatara Upanishad does mention Sankhya in verse 13 of Chapter 6. Now I am sure he will not have the moral courage to admit that he lost the challenge.

Thus a person full of gyan, as Shri Krishna mentions in the Gita praising samkhya, may still think the knower and the known are different things, although the known has become very small for him.A person who has overome maya may not say that he and maya are the same, as we find adwatin like Adi-Shankaracharya mention of the sameness of the rope and the serpent. > > > > > > > I hope you agree with me. > > > > > > > About shri Bhattacharjyaji' s claim that a divya varsha is one solar year,I think he may have meant divya din, and 'varsha' may have slippped from his mouth.This is not so important that we have to pursue the matter so thoroughly.But when I say there is no cycle of 360 years and it is only symbolic, one ought to think seriously. > > > > > > > Regards, > > > > > > > Hari Malla > > > > > > > > > > > > > > , Vinay Jha <vinayjhaa16@ ....> wrote: > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Mr Malla, > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > This is an astrological forum and you have no interest in astrology. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > You have started using foul words for me ( " Knowing your slippery nature " ) and ('since you boast so much on shastrartha, you will deny even when you are convinced " ). > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Before levelling false charges of dishonesty on me, you ought to have provided some proof where I did show evidence of " slippery nature " ? SKB cites texts falsely, and when caught red handed, he slips to citing other texts falsely, but he is not slippery and sdishonest for you !! He takes a daily dose of two tolas of wine before discussiong Dharmashaastras. He will be a good company for you, excuse me.

Ytou should find a proper label for the persons who are always on the look out for some monk to abuse and attack, I do not want to use foul words. I have too many tasks. I teach philosophy only to the worthy. For you, these things are means of passing your idle time.

It is an astrological forum.

You are wasting your time here. You should participate in pandit sabhas in cities like Kashi and Prayaga for reforming our supposedly " outdated " dharmashaastras. Even if all members accept your views, although not a single one can do so, it will have no effect on the pandits and common men. > > > > > > > > > > -VJ > > > > > ============ ========= == == > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > ____________ _________ _________ __ > > > > > " harimalla@ ..

My last question, before I proceed to the scientific astrology- the science of light and vision(darshan) centred on astronomy.I shall henceforth proceed to what is the purush in the scientific terms, if you want me to shed light from the scientific point of view.I will try to remind you what dharma shastras say about the purush.Instead of quarreling on such a respectable topic,let us be amiable and repectful to one another..thank you, > > > > > > > regards, > > > > > > > Hari Malla > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > , Vinay Jha <vinayjhaa16@ > wrote: > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Malla Ji, > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > You are repeating your offensive language : " you know too much, you have no time to digest and > > > > > > > > summarise them all.

I did not mean divyadin. You might have missed my earlier mails in AIA, where I said that 1700 Divya varsha or Solar year is equal to 3030 Lunar Nakshatriya year or Human year, according to Purana ie. the Fifth Veda.

Thus a person full of gyan, as Shri Krishna mentions in the Gita praising samkhya, may still think the knower and the known are different things, although the known has become very small for him.A person who has overome maya may not say that he and maya are the same, as we find adwatin like Adi-Shankaracharya mention of the sameness of the rope and the serpent. > > > > > > > > I hope you agree with me. > > > > > > > > About shri Bhattacharjyaji' s claim that a divya varsha is one solar year,I think he may have meant divya din, and 'varsha' may have slippped from his mouth.This is not so important that we have to pursue the matter so thoroughly.But when I say there is no cycle of 360 years and it is only symbolic, one ought to think seriously. > > > > > > > > Regards, > > > > > > > > Hari Malla > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > , Vinay Jha <vinayjhaa16@ ...> wrote: > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Mr Malla, > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > This is an astrological forum and you have no interest in astrology. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > You have started using foul words for me ( " Knowing your slippery nature " ) and ('since you boast so much on shastrartha, you will deny even when you are convinced " ). > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Before levelling false charges of dishonesty on me, you ought to have provided some proof where I did show evidence of " slippery nature " ? SKB cites texts falsely, and when caught red handed, he slips to citing other texts falsely, but he is not slippery and sdishonest for you !! He takes a daily dose of two tolas of wine before discussiong Dharmashaastras. He will be a good company for you, excuse me.

Ytou should find a proper label for the persons who are always on the look out for some monk to abuse and attack, I do not want to use foul words. I have too many tasks.
