Guest guest Posted August 4, 2001 Report Share Posted August 4, 2001 OHM SHRI RAGAVENDRAYA NAMAH JAYA JAGANNATHA Pranam Gurudeva, In the Hora lesson you have mentioned ".....Thus, the order of the days in the week is obtained based on the lordship of the first hour of the day. This is an important concept in Jyotish. In a similar vein, the lord of the first day (or first Hora) of a month becomes the Lord of the Month and the Lord of the first day (or first Hora) in a Year becomes the lord of the year. These Lords are called Masadhipati (Lord of Month) and Varsheshwara (Lord of the Year)......" How to calculate this Masadhipati and Varsheshwara? If we calculate the Month starting and Varsha starting from the Sunrise then the Vara of the first day of the month or year will be the respective lord. If we calculate based on the Sun's longitude, by considering the time it enters into each sign for the month and the time it enters into Aries for the Varsha, then the respective hora lord will be the lords of month and year. Which method is correct or is there any other method to calculate this. (There are other method which I have seen in other basic books which calculates based on some arbitrary number which represents the beginning of the yuga or world. But, I am not convinced about its usage. Your hora method is more convincing). Thanks Your sisya Solai Kannan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
