Guest guest Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 dear narasimha , i totally agree with your guruji and you must definately not give away jhora . i understand that this software is more research based and aims at refining jyotisa unlike other softwares which have no or buggy calculations and are loaded with pretyped interpretations on planetary positions. god knows how much more of satya is rahu yet to show !!! best regards, chandan singh. vedic astrology , Narasimha PVR Rao <pvr wrote: > > Namaste Sanjay, > > > Let us assume that Narasimha has become completely spiritual > > and has become very renounced - what do you think he will do > > if I ask him to transfer -- > > (1) Ownership of JHora to Sri Jagannath Center > > If my spiritual guru asks me to do it, I will do so without batting an eyelid.

You must stand firm and not allow that. I know you want to get out of this, but there is more you need to do for the Jyotish world and JHora is an important vehicle. If they take over, all your effort so far will go waste. They will promote dogmatism, create confusion, kill research and eventually make it commercial like everything else they are doing today. You must stand firm. They will invoke Krishna's name, but realize that nobody owns Krishna. I forbid you from giving away JHora to them. Own it, keep it free and add new researches to it.

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 Dear narasimha, namaste, The going debate between you and sanjay rath has disillusioned me as I am new to this science. I had slowly over the years built upon my meager knowledge.And thank you for being logical and scientific -I learnt a lot from your book.Sanjay's book always puzzled me as it was hard to understand but then it was my failing that i could not fathom what he was trying to explain. This parting of ways made me put all my learning on hold over the past year.what has amazed me is that people who question Jhora now have happily given predictions(lifetime) using the same earlier..Now all the dasas are wrongly computed. I'll not take any names.Does it mean that all their predictions do not stand anymore?This is indeed becoming a joke.Are we trying to brownie points at the cost of astrology? I have been so confused. I know my opinion doesn't count much but I need to tell you that I stand by your knowledge, your selfless service,and I salute your unambiguity and honesty.I wish you all the success. sincerely, anuradha kochhar.

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 Namaste Sanjay, > Let us assume that Narasimha has become completely spiritual > and has become very renounced - what do you think he will do > if I ask him to transfer -- > (1) Ownership of JHora to Sri Jagannath Center If my spiritual guru asks me to do it, I will do so without batting an eyelid. However, he has warned of this and explicitly forbade me. When I decided a few years back to make JHora open source and leave JHora programming to others, my spiritual guru asked me to rethink. In July 2009, he suddenly told me without any context, " they are going to try to take over Jagannatha Hora. You must stand firm and not allow that. I know you want to get out of this, but there is more you need to do for the Jyotish world and JHora is an important vehicle. If they take over, all your effort so far will go waste. They will promote dogmatism, create confusion, kill research and eventually make it commercial like everything else they are doing today. You must stand firm. They will invoke Krishna's name, but realize that nobody owns Krishna. I forbid you from giving away JHora to them. Own it, keep it free and add new researches to it. " (Note: I am mentioning this publicly with the permission of my guru.) * * * Very interestingly, just a few days after he said this, you wrote on the lists, " I think the time has come when PVR Narasimha and SJC have to part ways " , because I had no " faith in Jagannath Mahaprabhu " . And, just a few days later, you wanted a team decided by SJC to take over JHora and create an " SJC version " , as there were too many options in JHora. I immediately remembered my guru's words and saw this is as the first step of what he described. * * * This was my reply to you from August 2009: " I will continue to maintain " Jagannatha Hora " software effort for some more time. Also, Jagannatha Hora will continue to support " non-SJC " calculations and options in the interest of the advancement of Jyotish knowledge. As I said, I will be happy to add a menu item to apply SJC recommended settings, if you or an SJC committee standardize the settings and send them to me via a jhora.ini file. If you or an SJC committee decide that something more is needed, I can review the expectations and judge whether and how I can help. " * * * Though addressed to someone else, I realize that the above question about transferring the " ownership of JHora " is indirectly meant for me. But, you already know my answer!

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 Dear Shri Narasimha PVR Raoji, Jai Shri Ram! < Let us assume that Narasimha has become completely spiritual and has become very renounced - what do you think he will do if I ask him to transfer -- (1) Ownership of JHora to Sri Jagannath Center> Whether or not I believe in " Vedic astrology " or whether or not I agree with your views is immaterial, but I just do not understand as to why someone should ask you to transfer the ownership of a JHora, which is available to anybody and everybody free of cost! It is already a sort of public property, thus! Why should A or B want to make it " his/her " property? Regarding spirituality, Krishna told Arjuna in the Gita, " tasmaat sarveshu kaaleshu mamanusmara yudychai " --- " Rember me every moment of time but at the same time just fight the dharmayddha " . That should be more than a warning to anybody who believes in exploiting in the name of " sp;ritituality " . With regards, A K Kaul , Narasimha PVR Rao <pvr wrote: > > Namaste Sanjay, > > > Let us assume that Narasimha has become completely spiritual > > and has become very renounced - what do you think he will do > > if I ask him to transfer -- > > (1) Ownership of JHora to Sri Jagannath Center > > If my spiritual guru asks me to do it, I will do so without batting an eyelid. However, he has warned of this and explicitly forbade me. > > When I decided a few years back to make JHora open source and leave JHora programming to others, my spiritual guru asked me to rethink. > > In July 2009, he suddenly told me without any context, " they are going to try to take over Jagannatha Hora. You must stand firm and not allow that. I know you want to get out of this, but there is more you need to do for the Jyotish world and JHora is an important vehicle. If they take over, all your effort so far will go waste. They will promote dogmatism, create confusion, kill research and eventually make it commercial like everything else they are doing today. You must stand firm. They will invoke Krishna's name, but realize that nobody owns Krishna. I forbid you from giving away JHora to them. Own it, keep it free and add new researches to it. " > > (Note: I am mentioning this publicly with the permission of my guru.) > > * * * > > Very interestingly, just a few days after he said this, you wrote on the lists, " I think the time has come when PVR Narasimha and SJC have to part ways " , because I had no " faith in Jagannath Mahaprabhu " . > > And, just a few days later, you wanted a team decided by SJC to take over JHora and create an " SJC version " , as there were too many options in JHora. I immediately remembered my guru's words and saw this is as the first step of what he described. > > * * * > > This was my reply to you from August 2009: > > " I will continue to maintain " Jagannatha Hora " software effort for some more time. > > Also, Jagannatha Hora will continue to support " non-SJC " calculations and options in the interest of the advancement of Jyotish knowledge. As I said, I will be happy to add a menu item to apply SJC recommended settings, if you or an SJC committee standardize the settings and send them to me via a jhora.ini file. > > If you or an SJC committee decide that something more is needed, I can review the expectations and judge whether and how I can help.

So how is the *Guru Dakshina?* > > In view of the above, some of your statements may seem very untruthful.

So, technically Narasimha was entrusted with the responsibility of having public forum for Sri Jagannath Center. > > Now, can you please check and tell me *who is the owner of Vedic Astrology List*? Is this Narasimha or SJC? And if Narasimha runs away with this list (who is to stop him?), in what way is he any different from the previous ones who ran away with things entrusted to them? > > Let us assume that Narasimha has become completely spiritual and has become very renounced - what do you think he will do if I ask him to transfer -- > > (1) Ownership of JHora to Sri Jagannath Center > > (2) Ownership of this list to say ...

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 Dear Vinay ji Thank you for your kind suggestion, but that was not my intent. I wanted to show the real intention of someone and have succeeded in doing so. I have no desire for that software. What will I do with it? I have so many software and also the top Sri Jyoti Star. I am now going to try to talk to Andrew to give a small version free for the jyotish learners. I think you also have a good software, then there is Kala Hora software, Parashara Software ... I have nothing to do with this JHora software. It was dear because it had a name *Jagannath* ... who is so dear.

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 You are telling that the only reason you used JHora software is because it has Jagannatha in it. Well - you used it because Jagannatha Hora is the best software in the world I have used parasara, Kala hora, sri jyoti star etc - and they are not even near JHora. Sri Jyoti star is $400+, Jyotish readings are $200+, ..... It is all money making Narasimha ji could have made a lot of money by selling it like Andrew. He is a great man to have not fallen to the desire to do so. It would have taken him years of effort to develop a masterpiece like JHora One request to Narasimha ji: Never give away your JHora software to anyone - if anything keep a lite version sourcecode free at sourceforge.net or some site - and that too is not necessary Other software need atleast 50-100 years to catch up with JHora Astrology today has been harmed greatly with all pseudo-knowledge. There are 100 ways to interpret a chart and you could come to multiple conclusions by looking at it. God has sent PVRji to cleanse astrology today Thanks Kiran vedic astrology , " guruji " <sjrath wrote: > > Dear Vinay ji > Thank you for your kind suggestion, but that was not my intent.

I am now going to try to talk to Andrew to give a small version free for the jyotish learners.

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 Namaste, The only person who contributed is Shanmukha Teli. He is a student of Iranganti Rangacharya. I sent him the code related to Chara dasa of Rangacharya. He modified a few lines of code and sent it back. If you click on the " Info " button when displaying Chara dasa of Rangacharya, you will see his name credited in the paragraph there. It was easy to just let him edit the code, rather than understand his description and code it myself. Apart from it, entire JHora was written and maintained by me.

You must stand firm and not allow that. I know you want to get out of this, but there is more you need to do for the Jyotish world and JHora is an important vehicle. If they take over, all your effort so far will go waste. They will promote dogmatism, create confusion, kill research and eventually make it commercial like everything else they are doing today. You must stand firm. They will invoke Krishna's name, but realize that nobody owns Krishna. I forbid you from giving away JHora to them. Own it, keep it free and add new researches to it.

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 Yes, that is exactly what I said - because of Jagannath. That is something you will not understand in this lifetime, unless maybe you have His grace. Best wishes Sanjay kiran.rama Friday, March 12, 2010 12:53 AM vedic astrology [vedic astrology] Re: Transferring JHora Ownership You are telling that the only reason you used JHora software is because it has Jagannatha in it. Well - you used it because Jagannatha Hora is the best software in the world I have used parasara, Kala hora, sri jyoti star etc - and they are not even near JHora. Sri Jyoti star is $400+, Jyotish readings are $200+, ..... It is all money making Narasimha ji could have made a lot of money by selling it like Andrew. He is a great man to have not fallen to the desire to do so. It would have taken him years of effort to develop a masterpiece like JHora One request to Narasimha ji: Never give away your JHora software to anyone - if anything keep a lite version sourcecode free at sourceforge.net or some site - and that too is not necessary Other software need atleast 50-100 years to catch up with JHora Astrology today has been harmed greatly with all pseudo-knowledge. There are 100 ways to interpret a chart and you could come to multiple conclusions by looking at it. God has sent PVRji to cleanse astrology today Thanks Kiran vedic astrology , " guruji " <sjrath wrote: > > Dear Vinay ji > Thank you for your kind suggestion, but that was not my intent.

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 Dear Biswajit The name Jagannath has a special connotation in jyotish. Jagat-darshanam is from the ninth house which is the *world view* of a person and defines his dharma. The lord of this nith house is the giver and protector of the dharma. Hence the name Jagannath automatically invokes the lord of the ninth house to come and uplift. Ninth lord from Lagna - Jagannath is Bhagyesha and the giver of fortune Ninth lord from Karakamsha - Jagannath is Dharma devata and the one who is the giver of greatest achievements or fulfillment of the purpose of the incarnation of the soul. In the chart of Sri Mahatma Gandhi, we find Sun as ninth lord from Karakamsha and the holy name of Rama showed his path to political freedom for India In the chart of Sri Vivekananda, the ninth lord from Karakamsha is again the Sun and the name that showed him the path was Ramakrishna - note that this has Rama in it. His mantra was *om hriiM namo bhagavate Ramakrishnaaya* (refer Ramakrishna stotra written by Vivekananda) Biswajit, please note that there maybe planets in the ninth house but it is the lord which has the power of Jagannath. The clue lies in the name itself *natha* means lord. This transformation of power to another graha can happen due to parivartana or some such strong sambandha only. Also the name may not manifest in a spiritual manner for everyone. Gandhiji has Sun in 7H from karakamsha Jup in Sg navamsha, so he also tried some experiments with his brahmacharya. This confusion is due to badhaka position of Sun. Take Dhirubhai Ambani for example - December 28, 1932 Time: 6:57:00 am Time Zone: 5:30:00 (East of GMT) Place: 70 E 26' 00 " , 20 N 53' 00 " The Karakamsha is Vrschika with Cancer in the ninth house and the Sun is in Cancer navamsha, yet Jagannath will come through the ninth lord Moon as dharma devata = Krishna. The Ambani's are known for their Krishna Bhakti. This Moon in Tula navamsha gives expertise in business and he became the king of Indian business by the blessings of Jagannath Krishna. Biswajit, none has any right over Jagannath, yet we all have every right over Him. In what form is Jagannath coming to you? How are you seeing him? Is there any confusion ...these are questions that you need to see in the chart. My best wishes Sanjay Rath Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 dear sanjay ji, namaste. maybe you do not have intentions of taking over jhora , but to the scores of upcoming jyotisas who look up to you , your hypothetical statements unfortunately do not convey honest intentions. so i believe it you should have been more mature on your part had you never said such hypothetical statements in the first place. regdarding whether narasimha has given you dakshina or not , why bother proving it to anyone? are you still bound to your ego that somehow wants to show that " sanjay rath is right " ? as you rightly said , shiva alone shows and knows satya , let it be unto him and you can simply carry on doing your own karma while narasimha does his. maybe you owed narasimha something over from past previous lifes that you simply repaid , so why now think whether dakshina was given or not? infact i dont know whats honestly in both of your hearts , but i do see narasimha making an effort and keeping a software foc , speding soo much time researching and trying to make it accurate itself shows no attachment to anything else than jyotisa. do not mind my words , for i speak unbiased and sometimes its others who make us realise. god bless, chandan singh. vedic astrology , " Sanjay Rath " <sjrath wrote: > > Dear Chandan Singh > I am not interested in taking over the software.

You must stand firm and not allow that. I know you want to get out of this, but there is more you need to do for the Jyotish world and JHora is an important vehicle. If they take over, all your effort so far will go waste. They will promote dogmatism, create confusion, kill research and eventually make it commercial like everything else they are doing today. You must stand firm. They will invoke Krishna's name, but realize that nobody owns Krishna. I forbid you from giving away JHora to them. Own it, keep it free and add new researches to it.

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 Jai Ramakrishna A few clarifications for those one or two persons in this list who may be interested in the reality. Akira Kurusowa in his epoch making film, Roshomon, showed that truth has many versions. Here is another. The following events took place in front of me and some other students: 1. Narasimha Rao had put a price on JHora like any other regular commerial software. At the first level, in 2003, Sanjayji requested him to introduce a special low rate for India. Many of us purchased the software at the low rate. In 2004, Sanjayji told him many time to make the software free and open source. But nothing materialised as Rao always said 'yes' and then never did anything. Then in January 2005, during the Annual Conference in Mumbai, he finally called Rao one night and insisted that the announcement be made within the next day or so, that the software is now free. After this, it was immediately announced as free. Yes, of course it was a bit of struggle. The time when Rao was not very responsive to making it free, Sanjayji suggested many other models, one of which included the lite and professional version models. Many issues such as standardised fees for teaching etc was discussed, not only with Rao, but with other SJC gurus as well, though nothing was put in practice. This was an attempt to incorporate the needs and suggestions of many teachers who might have needed financial support. Evryone did not have cushy jobs in the corporate sector in the US. Many of you may not know these facts. 2. The software did originate as a sort of guru dakshina between Sanjayji and Rao, on the condition that Sanjayji taught him, and those teachings would be translated into the software. In return the software should be made available for the public. Sanjayji had suggested that the money earned from the software before it was made free should be used by Rao as he saw fit, for the development of SJC activities in the US, like conferences etc. Other students present during these discussions also gave their suggestions. However nothing materialised. Finally, Sanjayji suggested to Rao, in 2006-7 to donate that money to the Jagannath Temple in Puri. We dont know whether that happened or not. 3. Since 2007, Sanjayji has been advising his Jaimini students in the classroom NOT to use the software as there were too many erros in it. In fact, we make our dasa calculations by hand, even Narayana Dasa, or use alternate software. Many of the lat-long of cities are wrong, as are other technical details. It has been three years now that we have been bypassing and moving away from JHora. Already 2-3 people are working on an alternative software, which we are going to offer free in SJC. But a little more time is required for that. But perhaps most of you are not aware what we have been upto? Where we are, what we have been doing? 4. During the past 3 years, while Rao and his friends were busy jumping up and down in the list making sanctimonous noises and mud slinging by creating a holier-than-thou hubris, it gave Sanjayji the perfect space to start his actual parampara teachings for which he had been waiting all his life. Ask his band of 30-45 students who have been drinking in the nectar of the knowledge of the rishis since 2007. But I dont think even a single one of them wasted their time being provocated or involved in this quagmire which has been transpiring in this Vedic-Astrology list, nor are they likely to do so now. On behalf of all my colleagues I would like to thank you for creating this distraction of maya, which enabled us to go underground and dwell in the realm of pure knowledge. 5. What is happening now is good and perhaps necessary. Such has been the norm in the past. Dr. Raman suffered silently in deep anguish when his very famous student abused and maligned him. Perhaps he should have spoken up. Who knows. Perhaps these mad diatribes in emails are necessary to bring about the necessary " cleansing " and " de-weeding " which is now necessary for an organisation to grow and move forward. I know that a 10 feet long response would be hurled at me laced with twisted logic and virulent suppressed aggression; but this is my last and only email on the subject. I do not have the time nor inclination to respond to any further provocations that might be directed towards me. Namaste.

You must stand firm and not allow that. I know you want to get out of this, but there is more you need to do for the Jyotish world and JHora is an important vehicle. If they take over, all your effort so far will go waste. They will promote dogmatism, create confusion, kill research and eventually make it commercial like everything else they are doing today. You must stand firm. They will invoke Krishna's name, but realize that nobody owns Krishna. I forbid you from giving away JHora to them. Own it, keep it free and add new researches to it.

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 Dear Sarbani, That's it. I still remember the evening. Probably on the last but one day of Mumbai conference, Sanjayji told us that he was going to ask PVR to make Jhora free. In the evening in front of us, he made a call to PVR and had a long discussion. After that he announced that Jhora was going to be free. Regards jk vedic astrology [vedic astrology ]On Behalf Of Sarbani Rath 12 March 2010 18:13 vedic astrology RE: [vedic astrology] Re: Transferring JHora Ownership Jai Ramakrishna A few clarifications for those one or two persons in this list who may be interested in the reality. Akira Kurusowa in his epoch making film, Roshomon, showed that truth has many versions. Here is another. The following events took place in front of me and some other students: 1. Narasimha Rao had put a price on JHora like any other regular commerial software. At the first level, in 2003, Sanjayji requested him to introduce a special low rate for India. Many of us purchased the software at the low rate. In 2004, Sanjayji told him many time to make the software free and open source. But nothing materialised as Rao always said 'yes' and then never did anything. Then in January 2005, during the Annual Conference in Mumbai, he finally called Rao one night and insisted that the announcement be made within the next day or so, that the software is now free. After this, it was immediately announced as free. Yes, of course it was a bit of struggle. The time when Rao was not very responsive to making it free, Sanjayji suggested many other models, one of which included the lite and professional version models. Many issues such as standardised fees for teaching etc was discussed, not only with Rao, but with other SJC gurus as well, though nothing was put in practice. This was an attempt to incorporate the needs and suggestions of many teachers who might have needed financial support. Evryone did not have cushy jobs in the corporate sector in the US. Many of you may not know these facts. 2. The software did originate as a sort of guru dakshina between Sanjayji and Rao, on the condition that Sanjayji taught him, and those teachings would be translated into the software. In return the software should be made available for the public. Sanjayji had suggested that the money earned from the software before it was made free should be used by Rao as he saw fit, for the development of SJC activities in the US, like conferences etc. Other students present during these discussions also gave their suggestions. However nothing materialised. Finally, Sanjayji suggested to Rao, in 2006-7 to donate that money to the Jagannath Temple in Puri. We dont know whether that happened or not. 3. Since 2007, Sanjayji has been advising his Jaimini students in the classroom NOT to use the software as there were too many erros in it. In fact, we make our dasa calculations by hand, even Narayana Dasa, or use alternate software. Many of the lat-long of cities are wrong, as are other technical details. It has been three years now that we have been bypassing and moving away from JHora. Already 2-3 people are working on an alternative software, which we are going to offer free in SJC. But a little more time is required for that. But perhaps most of you are not aware what we have been upto? Where we are, what we have been doing? 4. During the past 3 years, while Rao and his friends were busy jumping up and down in the list making sanctimonous noises and mud slinging by creating a holier-than-thou hubris, it gave Sanjayji the perfect space to start his actual parampara teachings for which he had been waiting all his life. Ask his band of 30-45 students who have been drinking in the nectar of the knowledge of the rishis since 2007. But I dont think even a single one of them wasted their time being provocated or involved in this quagmire which has been transpiring in this Vedic-Astrology list, nor are they likely to do so now. On behalf of all my colleagues I would like to thank you for creating this distraction of maya, which enabled us to go underground and dwell in the realm of pure knowledge. 5. What is happening now is good and perhaps necessary. Such has been the norm in the past. Dr. Raman suffered silently in deep anguish when his very famous student abused and maligned him. Perhaps he should have spoken up. Who knows. Perhaps these mad diatribes in emails are necessary to bring about the necessary " cleansing " and " de-weeding " which is now necessary for an organisation to grow and move forward. I know that a 10 feet long response would be hurled at me laced with twisted logic and virulent suppressed aggression; but this is my last and only email on the subject. I do not have the time nor inclination to respond to any further provocations that might be directed towards me. Namaste.

You must stand firm and not allow that. I know you want to get out of this, but there is more you need to do for the Jyotish world and JHora is an important vehicle. If they take over, all your effort so far will go waste. They will promote dogmatism, create confusion, kill research and eventually make it commercial like everything else they are doing today. You must stand firm. They will invoke Krishna's name, but realize that nobody owns Krishna. I forbid you from giving away JHora to them. Own it, keep it free and add new researches to it.

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 Dear SanjayJi Namaste, Can you kindly throw some light on why dhirubhai own such large industrial establishments, petro chemical industries? Acc to your current concept, 4th lord from karakamsa in navamsha is neeach and its colord depositor is also neeach. Now just see karakamsa in birth chart, well placed rahu, depositor is also well placed and is accepted by mars. This explains, why he owns such large petro chemical industrial setups. Didn't parashara clearly says that native will own large buildings if 4th from karakamsa is strong? Parashara also says that malefic graha in 3ld from karakamsa make native brave, what he purposely hides is that if such a planet is exalted, it will give large workforce, many followers or simply it gives an army. I recently found out that you also believe that your atmakarak is Jupiter, because of your charKaraka replacement theory. Anyways, SanjayJi your interest in samakhya philosophy is because of the moon in your karakamsa lagana in Rashi chart. In your article " 8 chara karaka final proof " , you have considered your workforce, your army as young, dynamic, just like krishna as you have moon in 3ld from karakamsa in navamsha. SanjayJi, what you have is followers, students and not a workforce, so we need to see 5th house. In rashi 5th from karakamsa contains exalted rahu, which shows that your followers, your students are blessed will fine intelligence and as its is in the rashi of mercury, it shows they are young and have analytical bend of mind and off course are eloquent speakers. What else, Jupiter in 2nd shows one is a writer, rahu in 5th shows one is a jyotishi. If you still think that I am not correct, then kindly do the correction in what I have written. If you didn't answer then i have no other option left with me to consider my postulate as correct. Hare Rama Krishna, Regards, Arun. vedic astrology , " Sanjay Rath " <sjrath wrote: > > Dear Biswajit > The name Jagannath has a special connotation in jyotish. Jagat-darshanam is from the ninth house which is the *world view* of a person and defines his dharma. The lord of this nith house is the giver and protector of the dharma. Hence the name Jagannath automatically invokes the lord of the ninth house to come and uplift. > Ninth lord from Lagna - Jagannath is Bhagyesha and the giver of fortune > Ninth lord from Karakamsha - Jagannath is Dharma devata and the one who is the giver of greatest achievements or fulfillment of the purpose of the incarnation of the soul. > In the chart of Sri Mahatma Gandhi, we find Sun as ninth lord from Karakamsha and the holy name of Rama showed his path to political freedom for India > In the chart of Sri Vivekananda, the ninth lord from Karakamsha is again the Sun and the name that showed him the path was Ramakrishna - note that this has Rama in it. His mantra was *om hriiM namo bhagavate Ramakrishnaaya* (refer Ramakrishna stotra written by Vivekananda) > > Biswajit, please note that there maybe planets in the ninth house but it is the lord which has the power of Jagannath. The clue lies in the name itself *natha* means lord. This transformation of power to another graha can happen due to parivartana or some such strong sambandha only. Also the name may not manifest in a spiritual manner for everyone. Gandhiji has Sun in 7H from karakamsha Jup in Sg navamsha, so he also tried some experiments with his brahmacharya. This confusion is due to badhaka position of Sun. > > Take Dhirubhai Ambani for example - > December 28, 1932 > Time: 6:57:00 am > Time Zone: 5:30:00 (East of GMT) > Place: 70 E 26' 00 " , 20 N 53' 00 " > > > The Karakamsha is Vrschika with Cancer in the ninth house and the Sun is in Cancer navamsha, yet Jagannath will come through the ninth lord Moon as dharma devata = Krishna.

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 Dear Sarbani, That's it. I still remember the evening. Probably on the last but one day of Mumbai conference, Sanjayji told us that he was going to ask PVR to make Jhora free. In the evening in front of us, he made a call to PVR and had a long discussion. After that he announced that Jhora was going to be free. Regards jk vedic astrology [vedic astrology ]On Behalf Of Sarbani Rath12 March 2010 18:13vedic astrology Subject: RE: [vedic astrology] Re: Transferring JHora Ownership Jai RamakrishnaA few clarifications for those one or two persons in this list who may beinterested in the reality. Akira Kurusowa in his epoch making film,Roshomon, showed that truth has many versions. Here is another. Thefollowing events took place in front of me and some other students:1. Narasimha Rao had put a price on JHora like any other regularcommerial software. At the first level, in 2003, Sanjayji requested him tointroduce a special low rate for India. Many of us purchased the software atthe low rate. In 2004, Sanjayji told him many time to make the software freeand open source. But nothing materialised as Rao always said 'yes' and thennever did anything. Then in January 2005, during the Annual Conference inMumbai, he finally called Rao one night and insisted that the announcementbe made within the next day or so, that the software is now free. Afterthis, it was immediately announced as free. Yes, of course it was a bit ofstruggle. The time when Rao was not very responsive to making it free,Sanjayji suggested many other models, one of which included the lite andprofessional version models. Many issues such as standardised fees forteaching etc was discussed, not only with Rao, but with other SJC gurus aswell, though nothing was put in practice. This was an attempt toincorporate the needs and suggestions of many teachers who might have neededfinancial support. Evryone did not have cushy jobs in the corporate sectorin the US. Many of you may not know these facts.2. The software did originate as a sort of guru dakshina betweenSanjayji and Rao, on the condition that Sanjayji taught him, and thoseteachings would be translated into the software. In return the softwareshould be made available for the public. Sanjayji had suggested that themoney earned from the software before it was made free should be used by Raoas he saw fit, for the development of SJC activities in the US, likeconferences etc. Other students present during these discussions also gavetheir suggestions. However nothing materialised. Finally, Sanjayji suggestedto Rao, in 2006-7 to donate that money to the Jagannath Temple in Puri. Wedont know whether that happened or not.3. Since 2007, Sanjayji has been advising his Jaimini students in theclassroom NOT to use the software as there were too many erros in it. Infact, we make our dasa calculations by hand, even Narayana Dasa, or usealternate software. Many of the lat-long of cities are wrong, as are othertechnical details. It has been three years now that we have been bypassingand moving away from JHora. Already 2-3 people are working on an alternativesoftware, which we are going to offer free in SJC. But a little more time isrequired for that. But perhaps most of you are not aware what we have beenupto? Where we are, what we have been doing?4. During the past 3 years, while Rao and his friends were busy jumpingup and down in the list making sanctimonous noises and mud slinging bycreating a holier-than-thou hubris, it gave Sanjayji the perfect space tostart his actual parampara teachings for which he had been waiting all hislife. Ask his band of 30-45 students who have been drinking in the nectar ofthe knowledge of the rishis since 2007. But I dont think even a single oneof them wasted their time being provocated or involved in this quagmirewhich has been transpiring in this Vedic-Astrology list, nor are they likelyto do so now. On behalf of all my colleagues I would like to thank you forcreating this distraction of maya, which enabled us to go underground anddwell in the realm of pure knowledge. 5. What is happening now is good and perhaps necessary. Such has beenthe norm in the past. Dr. Raman suffered silently in deep anguish when hisvery famous student abused and maligned him. Perhaps he should have spokenup. Who knows. Perhaps these mad diatribes in emails are necessary to bringabout the necessary "cleansing" and "de-weeding" which is now necessary foran organisation to grow and move forward.I know that a 10 feet long response would be hurled at me laced with twistedlogic and virulent suppressed aggression; but this is my last and only emailon the subject. I do not have the time nor inclination to respond to anyfurther provocations that might be directed towards me.

I still remember the evening. Probably on the last but one day of I acknowledge the above. I do remember him talking to me about it. But Sanjay ji does have a penchant for theatrics and hungama. The facts are: (1) I always wanted the software to be free, like with everything else I do in Jyotish. (2) Sanjay ji wanted me to offer a lite and professional version. He even decided what should be in the lite version and the price of professional version. Being at loggerheads with him on charging fee for teaching at SJC (taking a fee for knowledge is absolutely against my core ideals), I made an exception atleast in the case of software. I conceded to his desire. (3) Later I put my foot down and indicated a strong desire that we should really make it free. However, I was in the middle of a software overhaul and wanted to finish it first. (4) Meanwhile, the above-mentioned phone call happened. I don't recall the exact content of the call, but all I remember is that I was pleased that he was finally on board. I worked harder on it, finished it and announced free 7.0 about a month later, on 2005 Feb 23. It is absolutely a fabrication that Sanjay ji had to " fight " with me to make JHora free. He is the sole reason I even sold a commercial version temporarily. He is either lying or imagining things. Just like he did when he wrote today " Narasimha/KN Rao camp " . I will not be responding to any further accusations in this thread.

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 Dear All, Forgive but not forget. You will be hurt again. Forgiving changes the perspective, forgetting loses the lesson. I am also remebering Sahir Ludhianvi's lines...Raat Bhar Ka Hai Mehmaan Andhera, Kiske Roke Rukaa Hai Saveraa.Raat Jitni Bhi Sangeen Hogi, Subahaa Utni Hi Rangeen Hogee, Gham Na Kar Jo Ghanaa Hai Andhera, Kiske Roke Ruka Hai Saveraa! AA Koyee Mil ke Tadbir Sochain, Sukh ke Sapnon Ki Taabir Sochain,Jo Teraa Hai, Vahee Gham Hai Mera, Kiske Roke Ruka Hai Savera! Raat Bhar Ka Hai Mehman Andhera..

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 Sarbani ji, If you really care for " free " , why are all your jyotish courses charged heavily? Even readings have exorbitant charges? Why do you advocate paid software like Sri Jyotish Star by Andrew? Have you checked if it has few/more errors? Don't try to take credit for his software. SJC will come up with a software version for $2000 and charge $400 for introduction WIth all these different divisional charts and dasa systems, there is lot of confusion today. I am sure Narasimhaji will cleanse the world of astrology in the coming years Thanks Kiran vedic astrology , " Sarbani Rath " <sarbani wrote: > > Jai Ramakrishna > > A few clarifications for those one or two persons in this list who may be > interested in the reality.

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 Sanjay Ji, It is painful that jyotisha fraternity is not united. I did not like PVR parting away from you, although I differ from both of you because I left using physical astronomy for astrology long ago. But I wanted PVR with you because this combination served the cause of popularization of Vedic Jyotisha for many years. I pray the rift will be patched when good times come. -VJ ============================= === vedic astrology , " guruji " <sjrath wrote: > > Dear Vinay ji > Thank you for your kind suggestion, but that was not my intent.
