I am afraid you are not thinking clearly when you make this request.

 

Learning new things and consolidating all the things learnt are two

different processes that can and should go on in parallel. For you to

gain practice with blind analysis of practical charts, it is not

necessary for Sanjay to stop teaching. Even as Sanjay teaches new

things and you learn them, you can continue practical experimentation

and consoladation of previously learned things.

 

Moreover, you are making this request at a totally wrong time. I

mean, look at the context - I disagreed on a non-Jyotish topic with

Sanjay and, because I was so confident on this particular topic

(aksharas/syllables), I did not say " I disagree with you " as I

usually say and instead hastily said " you are teaching a wrong

thing " . I was genuinely concerned about the correctness of his

teachings in question. For example, one reading Sanjay's procedure

would think that the mantra " Hum Phat " has 3 or 4 aksharas, while the

fact is that it is just 2 aksharas. Hum and phat are two seed

syllables (beeja aksharas).

 

I made a mistake by accusing Sanjay, correctly or incorrectly, of a

wrong teaching. This, along with the current sensitive planetary

transits, resulted in an offended Sanjay. Your request is totally

inappropriate given the sensitive context.

 

Sanjay is a great teacher and we only can benefit from his teachings.

You should withdraw your request.

 

Blessings,

Narasimha
