Guest guest Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 Namaste,  Another research article on Jyotish is available for a free download at  VedicAstrologer.org/articles  The article is titled " Transit of Nakshatra Dasa Lord: A Specific Principle " . It contains an original principle that is simple and replicable, illustrated with 36 practical examples. A small excerpt from the beginning of the article is reproduced below.  ---------------------- Introduction  Nakshatra dasas such as Vimsottari dasa are very important for timing events. Nakshatra dasa lord is a very important planet and he has a strong influence on the mind of a native at the time. Vedic Astrologers have traditionally used the nakshatra dasa lord's transit in various ways, e.g. houses occupied from natal Moon and natal lagna and aspects on natal positions in rasi chart.  I found an interesting correlation between the longitude of nakshatra dasa lord in transit and divisional longitudes of natal planets. I want to share a specific principle based on the correlation I found. Please note that this principle is not intended to replace the techniques that Vedic astrologers traditionally employ, but meant to augment them.  Principle  Maharshi Parasara defined 16 divisional charts. While mentioning the matters seen in each divisional chart, he said shashtyamsa (D-60) shows “everythingâ€. In the vimsopaka bala of dasa varga and shodasa varga, shashtyamsa is given a higher weightage than even the rasi chart. It seems like a key chart. The correlation I found between the longitude of nakshatra dasa lord in transit and longitudes of natal planets involves D-60. ----------------------  Happy New Year, Narasimha -  Free Jyotish Software, Free Jyotish Lessons, Jyotish Writings, " Do It Yourself " ritual manuals for short Homam and Pitri Tarpana:                  http://www.VedicAstrologer.org     Films that make a difference: http://SaraswatiFilms.org     Spirituality:  Jyotish writings: JyotishWritings - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 1, 2010 Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 Sh. Raoji, Sounds interesting. Have tried on my chart but three querries: 1. Upto what degrees, one needs to assume close conjuction or aspect - within 5 degrees or less. 2. Which planet to take lead & prominence when there are more than one candidates. Should we chose the one that is more close in degrees. 3. What about D-60 rectifiction? Time of birth has to be very accurate. regds Dev vedic astrology , " Narasimha P.V.R.

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2010 Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 Sh Raoji, One more observation. Theory may sound more good for slow moving planets but for planets like Sun, Moon, there may be so many instances when it would show a possible fructification. 10 years of Moon Dasa and Moon touching sensitive points so many times in 2.5 days itself. regds Dev vedic astrology , " Narasimha P.V.R.

Guest guest Posted January 2, 2010 Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 || OM TAT SAT || Namaskar Narasimha, Am afraid that your article lacks scriptural authority and proper analysis. It is based on your unexplained " longitudes of planets in divisional charts " that looks like more of a mathematical gimmick than a REALITY. Essentially, You are attempting to divide what is already a division and exists as a unit (Shastyamsa). And then comparing it with what actually exists, i.e. longitude of a planet in Transit. What it really means (am not counting the seconds part, just the 30 imaginative degrees of divisional longitudes your software shows) is that you are talking about a subdivision which is 1/30th of the D-60 division, i.e. D-1800. While on one hand, you write in your article that research is needed to completely unearth the significance of D-60, OTOH, you are pushing your rather misleading suggestion of " divisional longitudes of planets " i.e. D-1800. Doesn't that double-standard remind us of PoorvaBhadra constellation ? Vivekananda wrote that Truth or true knowledge is never inconsistent with scriptures and analytic and inferential science. It is always an addition and not contradictory to existing true knowledge. Thus, many of your research-things that are based on " divisional longitudes of planets " are not Jyotish but comparable to dark matter theory, which would never be found in REALITY! * * * Here is a bit of diversion I came across in your article. While I understand that you might not be familiar with yoga, your sanskrit knowledge is good by your own evaluation. In this view, here is an excerpt from your article: " Nirvikalpa Samadhi is a state where I-ness (individualized Self) merges back into Brahman/Aatman (undifferentiated Self or the Supreme Cosmic Essence) and all objectification and duality ceases. Observer, observed and observation merge into one, without any differentiation whatsoever.... " If there is really no difference, Could you please illucidate why you won't use the specific term " Brahman-Sthiti " and instead use a non-positive connotation " Nirvikalpa Samadhi " ? Meanwhile, here is a helpful hint from the now better-known Yogi Sri Yukteswar Giri: " As prophets are sent on earth to help men work out their physical karma, so I have been directed by God to serve on an astral planet as a savior, " Sri Yukteswar explained. " It is called Hiranyaloka or 'Illumined Astral Planet.'... No one can enter Hiranyaloka unless he has passed on earth beyond the state of sabikalpa samadhi into the higher state of nirbikalpa samadhi.... " It implies that Nirbikalpa/Nirvikalpa is a high-spiritual state, nothing more than a passport to enter another high Astral Plane, and not equivalent to " Brahman-Sthithi " as You are stating. If you are convinced with the explanation of Sri Yukteswar, you needn't reply to this non-astrological diversion. Thanks and Regards, Nitish , " Narasimha P.V.R.

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 Namaskaar Sri Nitish Just a clarification. Nirvikalpa Samadhi is same as " realizing Brahman " - " Aham Brahmasmi " . There is no states in spirituality, like there are no states in a dream. One who is dreaming is dreaming and one who is awake is awake. One cannot say, one has progressed a lot in a dream. It does not mean anything. The " states " business does nothing but augment the egoistic tendency of " I am holier than thou " . It has to be negated. The savikalpa samadhi is when the Lord is seen all around but fragments of the small " I " thought still remain that keep oneself separate from the entirety. I do not know what Sri Narasimha has written or what you are discussing with him. I am just pointing out to your statements on Nirvikalpa Samadhi. To Sri Narasimha There is no merging back of I-self to the whole-self. There never was a separation as is elaborated by the mahavakya " Atman is Brahman " . The perceived separation is born out of avarna and vikeshpa. Upon realization, the objects still remain objects and the world remains the world. The vikshepa caused by Naam and Rupa ceases. Every object is Asti, Bhati, Priyam, Naam and Rupam (Kaivalya Upanishad and Sri Adi Sankacharya's Drig Drishya Viveka " ). The first three properties it borrows of Brahman and the last two are perceived and are false. We get caught up in Naam and Rupa and take the object to be different from the entirety. This is vikshepa. For understanding this further, please study Vivekachoodamani of Sri Adi Sankaracharya. Hope the above helps.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 " Kandavar vindilar, vindavar kandilar " - it is a translitration of a Tamil saying. In rough translation, those who have seen Him never able to speak or wish to speak about that Experience. Those who speak of Him endlessly, are yet to realise that Experience. This is so with " Samadhi " Regards, C.S. Ravindramani. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 Namaste,  Most charts used were rectified based on several events and several techniques. Of course, one has the right to remain skeptical.  Inquisitive students of Jyotish may note that the coincidences are too good to be random. If you look carefully, multiple events are used with several charts in the examples. If you think that D-60 lagna was doctored for one exmaple, what about the others based on the same chart?  For example, examples 10, 22 and 23 use the same chart. The native of the chart is a famous astrology savant and the D-60 lagna was rectified by him (and me too). Isn't it very interesting that the dasa lord closely aspected the D-60 longitude of a planet with a strong link to the 7th house by less than 1 deg at the time of his marriage and closely aspected the D-60 longitudes of two planets having a strong link to the 5th house by 2 deg at the time of birth of both his children? A very close aspect on vital planets by dasa lord at the time of 3 important events! I have shown such close correlations in several examples.  *       *       *  In my personal opinion, the last two articles on the transit of stationary planets and dasa lord's transit are my best contributions to Jyotish research.  In any case, I am not here to sell anything. For a while, I will defend my work as a scholar. After that, I will move on. Whether some fruits will come from this seed I sowed or not and who enjoys the fruits does not concern me, as it is not in my hands. As I said at the end of the article, " If you like this knowledge, please feel free to refine it, use it and spread it. If not, please leave it. "  Those interested in the article may download the FREE PDF at:  http://VedicAstrologer.org/articles " Transit of Nakshatra Dasa Lord: A Specific Principle "  *       *       *  I gave multiple examples of each type of event (e.g. marriage, childbirth, going abroad etc). As I gave Ramana Maharshi's realization of Self as an example, I wanted to give another example that uses the same parameters, to demonstrate consistency like with other events. While the dates when yogis like Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, Swami Vivekananda, Swami Sivananda, Aurobindo etc realized Self are not known, I happened to have that data for a contemporary yogi who happened to reach Nirvikalpa samadhi and have his permission to share his birthdata. Hence I shared that example. I gave the theoretical definition of Nirvikalpa samadhi as some Jyotish students may not know the term. Looks like there is a lot of discussion on that definition rather than the Jyotish content of my research article.  Self is indescribable and so is realization of Self. However, it is not without a reason that rishis attempted to describe concepts and things associated with it. Though theoretical discussions are neither necessary not sufficient for Self-realization, they can be helpful to some seekers.  However, instead of using a list dedicated to Jyotish for discussing varieties of samadhi and what they mean, I invite anybody interested in a discussion to join where I discuss matters related to spirituality in depth.  Best regards, Narasimha -  Free Jyotish Software, Free Jyotish Lessons, Jyotish Writings, " Do It Yourself " ritual manuals for short Homam and Pitri Tarpana:                  http://www.VedicAstrologer.org     Films that make a difference: http://SaraswatiFilms.org     Spirituality:  Jyotish writings: JyotishWritings -  , " utkal.panigrahi " <utkal.panigrahi wrote: > > Agreed, Studies based on unconfirmed birth charts, applying finer D > charts could be misleading. > > regards, > Utkal > > , " yeeahoo_99 " <nitish.arya@> > wrote: > > > > || OM TAT SAT || > > Namaskar Narasimha, > > > > Am afraid that your article lacks scriptural authority and proper > analysis.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 Dear Nitish, " Nirvikalpa Samadhi " is a correct specific term used by brother PVR in his article, This is used in Patanjali's Yoga Sutra, healthy criticism is good for evolution of a subject, let's do not make it personal. regards, Utkal , " Narasimha P.V.R. Rao " <pvr wrote: > > Namaste, >  > Most charts used were rectified based on several events and several techniques. Of course, one has the right to remain skeptical. >  > Inquisitive students of Jyotish may note that the coincidences are too good to be random. If you look carefully, multiple events are used with several charts in the examples. If you think that D-60 lagna was doctored for one exmaple, what about the others based on the same chart? >  > For example, examples 10, 22 and 23 use the same chart. The native of the chart is a famous astrology savant and the D-60 lagna was rectified by him (and me too). Isn't it very interesting that the dasa lord closely aspected the D-60 longitude of a planet with a strong link to the 7th house by less than 1 deg at the time of his marriage and closely aspected the D-60 longitudes of two planets having a strong link to the 5th house by 2 deg at the time of birth of both his children? A very close aspect on vital planets by dasa lord at the time of 3 important events! I have shown such close correlations in several examples. >  > *       *       * >  > In my personal opinion, the last two articles on the transit of stationary planets and dasa lord's transit are my best contributions to Jyotish research. >  > In any case, I am not here to sell anything. For a while, I will defend my work as a scholar. After that, I will move on. Whether some fruits will come from this seed I sowed or not and who enjoys the fruits does not concern me, as it is not in my hands. As I said at the end of the article, " If you like this knowledge, please feel free to refine it, use it and spread it. If not, please leave it. " >  > Those interested in the article may download the FREE PDF at: >  > http://VedicAstrologer.org/articles > " Transit of Nakshatra Dasa Lord: A Specific Principle " >  > *       *       * >  > I gave multiple examples of each type of event (e.g. marriage, childbirth, going abroad etc). As I gave Ramana Maharshi's realization of Self as an example, I wanted to give another example that uses the same parameters, to demonstrate consistency like with other events. While the dates when yogis like Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, Swami Vivekananda, Swami Sivananda, Aurobindo etc realized Self are not known, I happened to have that data for a contemporary yogi who happened to reach Nirvikalpa samadhi and have his permission to share his birthdata. Hence I shared that example. I gave the theoretical definition of Nirvikalpa samadhi as some Jyotish students may not know the term. Looks like there is a lot of discussion on that definition rather than the Jyotish content of my research article. >  > Self is indescribable and so is realization of Self. However, it is not without a reason that rishis attempted to describe concepts and things associated with it. Though theoretical discussions are neither necessary not sufficient for Self-realization, they can be helpful to some seekers. >  > However, instead of using a list dedicated to Jyotish for discussing varieties of samadhi and what they mean, I invite anybody interested in a discussion to join where I discuss matters related to spirituality in depth. >  > Best regards, > Narasimha > - >  Free Jyotish Software, Free Jyotish Lessons, Jyotish Writings, > " Do It Yourself " ritual manuals for short Homam and Pitri Tarpana: >                  http://www.VedicAstrologer.org >     Films that make a difference: http://SaraswatiFilms.org >     Spirituality: >  Jyotish writings: JyotishWritings > - >  > , " utkal.panigrahi " utkal.panigrahi@ wrote: > > > > Agreed, Studies based on unconfirmed birth charts, applying finer D > > charts could be misleading. > > > > regards, > > Utkal > > > > , " yeeahoo_99 " <nitish.arya@> > > wrote: > > > > > > || OM TAT SAT || > > > Namaskar Narasimha, > > > > > > Am afraid that your article lacks scriptural authority and proper > > analysis.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 Namaskaar Sri Ravindramani Since Lord Krishna chose to speak about the experience to answer Arjuna's questions, perhaps by the same logic, Bhagwan was not realized! Nor was Guru Vashishtha as he spoke to Bhagawan Rama! Adi Sankara certainly wasn't! Every time a concept is discussed, such remarks start to float around. The way to wisdom is through Sravana, Manana and Niddhidhyasana as is said in the Vedas. You are trying to stop Sravana itself let alone a person get into Manana. Hope you grasp this important point.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 Namaskaar Sri Manoj How do you know potassium cyanide is a poison and will kill a person? Do you suggest we should " taste " it to experience it first? Knowledge precedes the experience. The experience only verifies the knowledge. An Samadhi isn't an experience as in an Experience there is a distinction between the experiencer and that which is experienced. Please study the subject before making such remarks.

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 Dear Bharat Ji, //Please study the subject before making such remarks// I am not spiritually qualified to talk about the " experience " of  " Samadhi " . I don't believe in intellectualizing spirituality, so kindly excuse my withdrawing from this subject thread.  Regards,  -Manoj  ________________________________ Bharat - Hindu Astrology <astrologyhindu Mon, January 4, 2010 3:28:41 PM Re: Re: Transit of Nakshatra Dasa Lord: A Specific Principle Namaskaar Sri Manoj How do you know potassium cyanide is a poison and will kill a person? Do you suggest we should " taste " it to experience it first? Knowledge precedes the experience. The experience only verifies the knowledge. An Samadhi isn't an experience as in an Experience there is a distinction between the experiencer and that which is experienced. Please study the subject before making such remarks.

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 Dear Nitish, Am afraid that your article lacks scriptural authority and proper > > analysis. On the contrary I think the article has really sound analysis. Infact the only real question is if that (the principle) is working, or if it is not working. It is based on your unexplained " longitudes of planets in > > divisional charts " that looks like more of a mathematical gimmick than a > > REALITY. What mathematical gimmick? A major party of jyotish does entail mathematical points for analysis. Who has ever seen a GL or a HL in the night sky? So please, kindly tone down your rhetoric. If mathematics seems too difficult for you, skip it. Vivekananda wrote that Truth or true knowledge is never inconsistent > > with scriptures and analytic and inferential science. It is always an > > addition and not contradictory to existing true knowledge. Correct, so Narasimha's new principle is an " addition " to the accepted idea of divisional charts by Rishi Parashara. > > > Thus, many of your research-things that are based on " divisional > > longitudes of planets " are not Jyotish But thats just your opinion. -. No further value in that statement. As I said, the final test in any jyotish principle is the statistical accuracy of it's application. If it works in more cases it is good, if it does not it is bad. Narasimha's latest principles seems to be working quite fine. If there is really no difference, Could you please illucidate why you > > won't use the specific term " Brahman-Sthiti " and instead use a > > non-positive connotation " Nirvikalpa Samadhi " ? Now, please provide some scriptural reference for this term " Brahma-sthiti " - no fancy personal interpretations please. You yourself were asking for scriptural reference, now kindly provide it. -Regards Rajarshi vedic astrology , " Narasimha P.V.R. Rao " <pvr wrote: > > Namaste, >  > Most charts used were rectified based on several events and several techniques. Of course, one has the right to remain skeptical. >  > Inquisitive students of Jyotish may note that the coincidences are too good to be random. If you look carefully, multiple events are used with several charts in the examples. If you think that D-60 lagna was doctored for one exmaple, what about the others based on the same chart? >  > For example, examples 10, 22 and 23 use the same chart. The native of the chart is a famous astrology savant and the D-60 lagna was rectified by him (and me too). Isn't it very interesting that the dasa lord closely aspected the D-60 longitude of a planet with a strong link to the 7th house by less than 1 deg at the time of his marriage and closely aspected the D-60 longitudes of two planets having a strong link to the 5th house by 2 deg at the time of birth of both his children? A very close aspect on vital planets by dasa lord at the time of 3 important events! I have shown such close correlations in several examples. >  > *       *       * >  > In my personal opinion, the last two articles on the transit of stationary planets and dasa lord's transit are my best contributions to Jyotish research. >  > In any case, I am not here to sell anything. For a while, I will defend my work as a scholar. After that, I will move on. Whether some fruits will come from this seed I sowed or not and who enjoys the fruits does not concern me, as it is not in my hands. As I said at the end of the article, " If you like this knowledge, please feel free to refine it, use it and spread it. If not, please leave it. " >  > Those interested in the article may download the FREE PDF at: >  > http://VedicAstrologer.org/articles > " Transit of Nakshatra Dasa Lord: A Specific Principle " >  > *       *       * >  > I gave multiple examples of each type of event (e.g. marriage, childbirth, going abroad etc). As I gave Ramana Maharshi's realization of Self as an example, I wanted to give another example that uses the same parameters, to demonstrate consistency like with other events. While the dates when yogis like Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, Swami Vivekananda, Swami Sivananda, Aurobindo etc realized Self are not known, I happened to have that data for a contemporary yogi who happened to reach Nirvikalpa samadhi and have his permission to share his birthdata. Hence I shared that example. I gave the theoretical definition of Nirvikalpa samadhi as some Jyotish students may not know the term. Looks like there is a lot of discussion on that definition rather than the Jyotish content of my research article. >  > Self is indescribable and so is realization of Self. However, it is not without a reason that rishis attempted to describe concepts and things associated with it. Though theoretical discussions are neither necessary not sufficient for Self-realization, they can be helpful to some seekers. >  > However, instead of using a list dedicated to Jyotish for discussing varieties of samadhi and what they mean, I invite anybody interested in a discussion to join where I discuss matters related to spirituality in depth. >  > Best regards, > Narasimha > - >  Free Jyotish Software, Free Jyotish Lessons, Jyotish Writings, > " Do It Yourself " ritual manuals for short Homam and Pitri Tarpana: >                  http://www.VedicAstrologer.org >     Films that make a difference: http://SaraswatiFilms.org >     Spirituality: >  Jyotish writings: JyotishWritings > - >  > , " utkal.panigrahi " <utkal.panigrahi@> wrote: > > > > Agreed, Studies based on unconfirmed birth charts, applying finer D > > charts could be misleading. > > > > regards, > > Utkal > > > > , " yeeahoo_99 " <nitish.arya@> > > wrote: > > > > > > || OM TAT SAT || > > > Namaskar Narasimha, > > > > > > Am afraid that your article lacks scriptural authority and proper > > analysis.

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 Dear Friends, More importantly, and rather way more scarily -- how does one know before tasting that the sample of 'honey' may contain botulinus toxin! Rare, but honey has been known to be occasionally contaminated with botulinus toxin because the honey bee contains both the sweet nectar as well as the bug that produced the toxin!

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 || OM TAT SAT || Dear Utkal, I had written a detailed reply to your mail, but not mailing it now because it might extend the discussion on this non-astrological topic unnecessarily. PVRs definitions are his own imaginations like the " planetary longitudes in D-60 " and don't conform to any shastra whatsoever. OTOH, I find consistency and non-contradiction in the words of Sri Yukteswar Giri and Patanjali Sutras. Thus, if two people have nothing in common, except the language of communication, mutual criticism cannot arise. Thanks and Regards, Nitish , " utkal.panigrahi " <utkal.panigrahi wrote: > > > Dear Nitish, > > " Nirvikalpa Samadhi " is a correct specific term used by brother PVR in > his article, This is used in Patanjali's Yoga Sutra, healthy criticism > is good for evolution of a subject, let's do not make it personal. > > regards, > Utkal > > > , " Narasimha P.V.R.

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 || OM TAT SAT || Namaskar Narasimha, It is futile to use a car that has no steering, irrespective of how good the design is. The question here was how do you justify D-1800 (the 30 longitudinal divisions of your D-60 chart in your software, that require 1800 divisions in Rashi chart) ? Actually your software divides D-144 also in 30 parts so that is something like D-4320 - sounds more like an apartment number ! Please defend that first. Who gave you that " scholarly " idea ? Has anybody ever heard of anything more than D-300 anyways ? Regards, Nitish , " Narasimha P.V.R. Rao " <pvr wrote: > > Namaste, >  > Most charts used were rectified based on several events and several techniques. Of course, one has the right to remain skeptical. >  > Inquisitive students of Jyotish may note that the coincidences are too good to be random. If you look carefully, multiple events are used with several charts in the examples. If you think that D-60 lagna was doctored for one exmaple, what about the others based on the same chart? >  > For example, examples 10, 22 and 23 use the same chart. The native of the chart is a famous astrology savant and the D-60 lagna was rectified by him (and me too). Isn't it very interesting that the dasa lord closely aspected the D-60 longitude of a planet with a strong link to the 7th house by less than 1 deg at the time of his marriage and closely aspected the D-60 longitudes of two planets having a strong link to the 5th house by 2 deg at the time of birth of both his children? A very close aspect on vital planets by dasa lord at the time of 3 important events! I have shown such close correlations in several examples. >  > *       *       * >  > In my personal opinion, the last two articles on the transit of stationary planets and dasa lord's transit are my best contributions to Jyotish research. >  > In any case, I am not here to sell anything. For a while, I will defend my work as a scholar. After that, I will move on. Whether some fruits will come from this seed I sowed or not and who enjoys the fruits does not concern me, as it is not in my hands. As I said at the end of the article, " If you like this knowledge, please feel free to refine it, use it and spread it. If not, please leave it. " >  > Those interested in the article may download the FREE PDF at: >  > http://VedicAstrologer.org/articles > " Transit of Nakshatra Dasa Lord: A Specific Principle " >  > *       *       * >  > I gave multiple examples of each type of event (e.g. marriage, childbirth, going abroad etc). As I gave Ramana Maharshi's realization of Self as an example, I wanted to give another example that uses the same parameters, to demonstrate consistency like with other events. While the dates when yogis like Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, Swami Vivekananda, Swami Sivananda, Aurobindo etc realized Self are not known, I happened to have that data for a contemporary yogi who happened to reach Nirvikalpa samadhi and have his permission to share his birthdata. Hence I shared that example. I gave the theoretical definition of Nirvikalpa samadhi as some Jyotish students may not know the term. Looks like there is a lot of discussion on that definition rather than the Jyotish content of my research article. >  > Self is indescribable and so is realization of Self.

Guest guest Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 Namaste to all, Thers a confusion stemming in my mind.Do we consider the planet only...or should we also consider the other influences like aspects on it ??.....like what if 6th from AMk is occupied by mercury but aspected by moon.so mercury shows lord vishnu but if we consider the influence of moon.should we consider the palana devata as lord krishna ??? plz resolve my confusion. vedic astrology , " Narasimha P.V.R. Rao " <pvr wrote: > > Namaste, >  > Most charts used were rectified based on several events and several techniques. Of course, one has the right to remain skeptical. >  > Inquisitive students of Jyotish may note that the coincidences are too good to be random. If you look carefully, multiple events are used with several charts in the examples. If you think that D-60 lagna was doctored for one exmaple, what about the others based on the same chart? >  > For example, examples 10, 22 and 23 use the same chart. The native of the chart is a famous astrology savant and the D-60 lagna was rectified by him (and me too). Isn't it very interesting that the dasa lord closely aspected the D-60 longitude of a planet with a strong link to the 7th house by less than 1 deg at the time of his marriage and closely aspected the D-60 longitudes of two planets having a strong link to the 5th house by 2 deg at the time of birth of both his children? A very close aspect on vital planets by dasa lord at the time of 3 important events! I have shown such close correlations in several examples. >  > *       *       * >  > In my personal opinion, the last two articles on the transit of stationary planets and dasa lord's transit are my best contributions to Jyotish research. >  > In any case, I am not here to sell anything. For a while, I will defend my work as a scholar. After that, I will move on. Whether some fruits will come from this seed I sowed or not and who enjoys the fruits does not concern me, as it is not in my hands. As I said at the end of the article, " If you like this knowledge, please feel free to refine it, use it and spread it. If not, please leave it. " >  > Those interested in the article may download the FREE PDF at: >  > http://VedicAstrologer.org/articles > " Transit of Nakshatra Dasa Lord: A Specific Principle " >  > *       *       * >  > I gave multiple examples of each type of event (e.g. marriage, childbirth, going abroad etc). As I gave Ramana Maharshi's realization of Self as an example, I wanted to give another example that uses the same parameters, to demonstrate consistency like with other events. While the dates when yogis like Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, Swami Vivekananda, Swami Sivananda, Aurobindo etc realized Self are not known, I happened to have that data for a contemporary yogi who happened to reach Nirvikalpa samadhi and have his permission to share his birthdata. Hence I shared that example. I gave the theoretical definition of Nirvikalpa samadhi as some Jyotish students may not know the term. Looks like there is a lot of discussion on that definition rather than the Jyotish content of my research article. >  > Self is indescribable and so is realization of Self. However, it is not without a reason that rishis attempted to describe concepts and things associated with it. Though theoretical discussions are neither necessary not sufficient for Self-realization, they can be helpful to some seekers. >  > However, instead of using a list dedicated to Jyotish for discussing varieties of samadhi and what they mean, I invite anybody interested in a discussion to join where I discuss matters related to spirituality in depth. >  > Best regards, > Narasimha > - >  Free Jyotish Software, Free Jyotish Lessons, Jyotish Writings, > " Do It Yourself " ritual manuals for short Homam and Pitri Tarpana: >                  http://www.VedicAstrologer.org >     Films that make a difference: http://SaraswatiFilms.org >     Spirituality: >  Jyotish writings: JyotishWritings > - >  > , " utkal.panigrahi " <utkal.panigrahi@> wrote: > > > > Agreed, Studies based on unconfirmed birth charts, applying finer D > > charts could be misleading. > > > > regards, > > Utkal > > > > , " yeeahoo_99 " <nitish.arya@> > > wrote: > > > > > > || OM TAT SAT || > > > Namaskar Narasimha, > > > > > > Am afraid that your article lacks scriptural authority and proper > > analysis.
