Guest guest Posted January 20, 2000 Report Share Posted January 20, 2000 Aum Namah Sivaya Dear Finn, Welcome. For the time being I am giving the english terms for the words Parakrama-Bravery Ahimsa- Non violence Valmiki: Sage, who turned from a bandit to sage after realising that no one is there to share the liabilities of the sin incurred. Regards Sarajit Dear Sanjay, thank you for inviting me to your class on Jyotish. Since joining I have been reading all the messages and wondering if it would be possible for me to understand all that you are talking about without knowing your native Sanskrit. I am Irish and have no background in this subject or the philosophy behind it. My hunger for Jyotish was ignited on the 1st weekend of my Ketu (12th/GE) dasha when I attended a Beginners class in London. Since then I devote time every day to it and love it. As the Arudha Lagna is something that I am presently researching I was delighted to read the questions and also the replies except for my big problem of not knowing the English meaning of some of the words and phrases used. For example in your reply you used the words Parakrama, Ahimsa, Valmiki. To me these words could mean anything. Peoples names , states of being, etc!! Therefore, I would be most grateful to you and the other particpants if you would include the English word beside the Sanskrit term when discussing a subject. I am aware that this puts extra work on you but it would be such a blessing to me. You cant know how frustrating it becomes reading through really valuable information and missing the main point. On your website also I have experienced the same problem and have decided to leave it for now. There is so much to learn and only a limited amount of time. From the discussions I gather you are writing a new book, I would love if it was a beginners guide with a really good dictionary. The texts recommended I have, but you bring an deeper meaning to each subject that you discuss and I would love to hear your basic teaching on all these characters that have such a powerfull influence on our lives and why. For me learning Jyotish is a spiritual thing. The more I learn the more devotional my life has become. Thanks for listening and for making this opportunity available to me.
