[USBrahmins] Water on the Moon and Mars

[Guest guest]

Dear friends,

 

It is sheer ignorance to claim that the grahas are not there in the Vedas.

 

1)

In  Veda  there is mention of eclipses caused due to conjunction of the Sun, the

Moon and the Swarbhanu. (see Rig Veda 5.40.9). So can anybody say that there are

no grahas in Veda? Please note that like the name Swarbhanu has been used in

Veda in place of the astrological name Rahu, so also one need not look for the

all the grahas by the same names as used in astrology.

2)

The Puranas and the two Epics (ie. the Ramayana and the Mahabharata) are called

the fifth Veda by the Chandogya and other Upanishads. The fifth Veda mentions

the grahas. So who are we to derecognise the fifth Veda , when Veda recognises

the fifth Veda?

 

Vedas do mention grahas and one can see that if the eyes are kept open.

 

Regards,

 

Sunil K.  Bhattacharjya

Sir,

 

Jai Shri Ram!

 

<Planets are called Grahas in Samskrit>

 

But they are calculated from the data from JPL/NASA since all the

 

" samskrit sidhantas " right from the Surya Sidhanta to Grahalaghava are

 

anything but correct!

 

<According to the Vedas nine deities(not planets) are there.>

 

Many thanks for your clarification that there are no planets in the

 

Vedas!

 

<The prayers to these deiteis occur mainly in Rig Veda and Atharva

 

Veda.>

 

The prayers are offered to deities and not to planets since there are no

 

planets in the Vedas!

 

< A collection of such relevant prayers is called Navagraha Suktas.>

 

There is no navagraha sukta in any of the Vedas, including the Atharva

 

Veda, if for no other reasons just the simple one that there are no

 

navagrahas in any of the Vedas, including the Atharva Veda! If there

 

are no navagrahas, how can there be a navgraha sukta in the Vedas!

 

<This is just to put the records straight.>

 

No, this is actually distortion of records! We impute our own meanings

 

to Vedic mantras just to propagate the non-Vedic Vedic astrology! I may

 

assure you that the so called Vedic astrology is actually anti-Vedic

 

since it is against the letter and spirit of the Vedas and every

 

shastra! No shastra has advised us to consult some soothsayer who will

 

advise us to propitiate non-existent mathematical points Rahu and Kethu

 

for ameliorating our miseries caused by them through an imaginary "

 

dosha " , which the so called Vedic astrologers calle Kalasarpa Dosha!

 

The so called Vedic astrology has also uprooted our cultural moorings by

 

making us clelebrate Lahiri or Ramana or Muladhara etc. Makar Sankrantis

 

and making us forget the real Vedic phenomena like Uttarayana,

 

Dakshinayana etc. besides the Vedic months Madhu, Madhava etc.

 

Surprisingly, all the jyotisha shastras contain words like Kemadruma,

 

Panaphara, apoklima, kendra etc. etc. which are nothing but Greek words!

 

That makes it clear that the so called Vedic astrology is nothing but

 

Greek jyotisha wine in Indian bottles!

 

Then the billion dollar question which no jyotishi, including you, is

 

answering is as to how did " Vedic astrologers " of the past calculate

 

their horoscopes prior to the Surya Sidhanta of Maya the mlechha!

 

I hope the records have been put straight now!

 

Jai Shri Ram!
