Jyotish List...

[Guest guest]

Hi Marg,

 

Me neither! I have only read that chapter co-authored by Martin and his Danish

collaborator (name escapes) and his many messages on the earlier list.

 

Times change or perhaps our perception does with the passage of TIME!

 

My money is on the latter!

 

Regards,

 

Ranjan

articulate individual and quite brilliantly and logically conveyed and explained

his beliefs and his personal position vis-a-vis jyotish as he had learned and

practiced it. With his Danish co-researcher he had developed the

progression-based theory regarding the Nadi readings. They wrote a chapter in

Houck's Anthology (36 teachers) which was a beautiful modern Jyotish collection

and when last interacted with, was trying to create a body of evidence to

support and illustrate the concept.

there were fewer flame wars that utilized personal attacks, expletives and

and his forever uplifting us with maturity of insight and experience, and then

there is Chandrashekhar who also had many nuggets of jyoitsh wisdom to share,

and often seemed like an ancient sage who at the last minute would reply to

begging posts for free readings where no one else had time.

writing his thesis forever talking about Pingree......everyone helping shape his

ideas and me often getting annoyed with him, poor martin. he came across to the

UK recently to deliver a talk on western astrology but sadly I couldn't go along

and be yet a further ....but unintentional.....thorn in his side...

to what we have now, Ben Collins allowed us a venue on Internet and managed to

attract the likes of KN Rao and S. Rath and PVR Narasimha Rao and VAK Choudhury

and a few others, many others truth be told!
