Guest guest Posted March 13, 2003 Report Share Posted March 13, 2003 Dear sanjay ji, Referring to your last mail, you have said in your mail: " ...This should tell that the methods I have taught so far are for understanding and predicting on the basis of Prakriti. Purusha is a separate issue and the determinant. " How is this possible?? " Prakriti " is mother nature with its 3 gunas and by virtue of which, and along with " Purusha " , it operates to create this world of Maya/relative existence. " Purusha " is Supreme soul, penetrating all and referred to as " absolute existence " (which is a self contradictory phrase considering that term " existence " has only " relatively " defined connotations). " Purusha " or knower exists, only relatively, through association of what is known, through " Kala " or " Prakriti " (referred as " KalaPurusha " in texts). Similarly, " Prakriti " exists only because of " Purusha " , if there is noone to know, there is nothing to be known and the whole thing dissolves into void. Bhagvada Gita, Ch.13, verse 26 states: " Wherever a being is born, whether unmoving or moving (i.e. plants and animals), know thou Arjuna, that it is from the union between the field (Prakriti) and the knower of the field (Purusha). " Therefore, I don't understand how can the two (Prakriti and Purusha) be separated and talked about/taught unless one gets freed from the grip of gunas or otherwise your statement has an entirely different context or in some other manner yet unknown to me. Thus, no astrological principle can be laid down in such a way as to clearly demarcate the " Purusha " from " Prakriti " , which theory is the pillar of vedas!!! Otherwise, I have not understood the concepts or the context of your last mail properly and I would request you to give me a few examples of astrological concepts, which can be used to predict on the basis of " Purusha " alone and those which can be used to predict on the basis of " Prakriti " alone? Further, a change of " shastyamsa " of the kind you have mentioned in birth of twins, has made " some " difference in both " Purusha " and " Prakriti " of the twin brother who died and was the cause for his death. Could those principles be brought to light? Please clear up these doubts. regards, nitish --- Sanjay Rath <vyasa wrote: > > Om Gurave Namah > Dear > At the feet of Guru Pandita Kasinatha, > I remain, > Sanjay Rath > Mail: 71 Vasant Apartments, Mayur Vihar Phase-1, New > Delhi 110091, India > Tel: +91-11-2713201; SJC Web pages: > http://.org; Personal Web: > http://srath.com > - > Sanjay Rath > Varahamihira (AT) (DOT) ; Sureshbabu Chandra > Wednesday, March 12, 2003 5:52 PM > Re: Updates > > > > Om Gurave Namah > Dear Suresh, > Let me tell you a few facts: > There is a Jyotish named Chandra devi in the GJ List > who had two sons, twins.
