Guest guest Posted July 21, 2003 Report Share Posted July 21, 2003 Hare Rama Krishna Dear Gurudeva, This is a life time oppurtunity for us. What would be the duration of these classes? This will help in planning for this event. Regards Hari - Sanjay Rath SJC ; Vedic-Astrology (AT) (DOT) ; Varahamihira (AT) (DOT) Monday, July 21, 2003 10:05 PM |Sri Varaha| direct classes Jaya Guru Dear Jyotisha, Are people interested in learning the Jaimini Sutras from me - One adhyaya per month - direct contact in a guru-sisya method. I have been thinking about this ever since Narasimha wrote that the basics are not strong. Or would you like to learn the Brihat Parasara Hora Shastra. We can cover this at a faster pace. The system is different. We will take one chapter and then go through each of the sutras in it, understanding each word, implications, references, and usage. This will be done in the morning. Then in the afternoon, you can do self study of the chapter based on the methodology. and then again in the evening after 4 PM, we shall have another 2 hour meeting where we discuss the doubts till the evening. In this manner each chapter will become a part of you. My friend Mr.Krishnan Nambiar has a fine resort/gurukul atmosphere. Take a look at this http://www.vedantaretreat.com www.vedantaretreat.com I like this place and will be there next year anyway. I am thinking of starting these direct contact classes in India from next year. Any inputs/ideas are welcome. My method of teaching is very different from what you would have heard or seen. At confereces I only ape the general trend but then my own thinking does come. However these classes are very different. Rohini, Shiv, Sarbani, Gaurav, Goelji and others from Delhi who have attended will know. The basics will be very strong. I want to time this when most of you can get some leave. Another thing - do not worry about advanced or beginner..most who come know little and in a year or two they can teach Jyotish! Yes, that is the blessing of my Guru Pt.Kasinath Rath. kashikshetra tannivaso jahnavi charanodakkam gurur-visvesvaro sakshat taarakam brahma nischitam.

Guest guest Posted July 22, 2003 Report Share Posted July 22, 2003 ||Om Brihaspataye Namah|| Pranams Paramaguru, This " Gurukula " method of teaching sounds too good to me. For beginners like me, this must be a rare opportunity to sit at the feet of Jyotish Gurus and directly assimilate the relevant concepts. As others have commented, please let us know:- (a) duration and timing of classes (b) costs involved © limitations on how many can attend. Could anyone kindly explain (translate) the blessings of Shri Kasinatha Rath at the end of the email?

I have just sent her a mail and she will be taking all this issues into consieration.Pt.Kashinath Rath is my Gurudeva, and as per the tradition we believe that when the time is ripe after many lives the lord of Kashi, the Jagadguru comes in the body shows the light. Maybe faith is transformed after a few lives when in one such incarnation this actually happens. One has to persist with the faith.

Guest guest Posted July 23, 2003 Report Share Posted July 23, 2003 OM Dear Guruji, Just an hour ago, while I was doing Vishnusahasra nama, a thought crossed over my mind. Many of your students will attend the Puri conference. As a " prologue " to what you are thinking about imparting knowledge in a Gurukul, this 'direct classes' can be taken up by you at the Puri conference . We'll wake up at 4 in the morning and after meditating with you from 4-30, you'll start the class. This class will continue as long as you find it comfortable for all. After a break of, say, for two hours, the usual schedule of the conference will be followed. In this way, we can taste the nectar of Gurukul teaching. But I am apprehensive of you health. If this class at brahma muhurta followed by day long conference tells much on you physical condition, I am not at all interested in this type of direct classes at Puri. With pranams Sincerely Dilip. - Sanjay Rath varahamihira Wednesday, July 23, 2003 8:21 AM RE: |Sri Varaha| Re: direct classes aià gurursarasvatyai svähäDear Rohiniji Thank you for the affirmation. Yes it will be Brihat Parasara Hora Shastra initially and also Jaimini sutra. I am thinking about his and will inform all once decided. There is no use in attending simple classrooms. There is not going to be any material change. One has to get out of this hustle and bustle of daily life and escape to the mountains. There we wake up at 4-5 AM and start our activities. Initially it may sound tough but it is not so. It is just a state of mind. The learning is the highest at Brahma muhurta without any doubt. So the normal routine that was done one time (long back) in Delhi - Meditation then classes is what shall be followed.~ om tat sat ~Yours truly,Sanjay Rath---------------------------H-5, B.J.B Nagar, Bhubaneswar 751014, India, +91-674-2436871 http://srath.com --------------------------- rohinipurang [rohinipurang]Tuesday, July 22, 2003 7:23 AMvarahamihira Subject: |Sri Varaha| Re: direct classesDear SanjayjiThere could be nothing better than learning directly from you - whatever we have heard from you in our classes in Delhi, so far those concepts are the clearest in our minds.

Guest guest Posted July 23, 2003 Report Share Posted July 23, 2003 Hare Rama Krishna! Dear Sanjay, This is a brilliant suggestion. There are too many misconceptions / lack of proper understanding as followed by different schools of thought. Having attended your classes in Delhi, as truly said by you, the method of your teaching is vastly different from that followed by others. In fact, the real need is classes on both and if it can be done simultaneously (one in the morning and the other in the afternoon) it will be great. Since the Sutras of Maharishi Jaimini are a deeper and finer understanding and applications of the teachings of Maharishi Parashara, it will only be complementary to read both together. My own feeling is it will render a better understanding of the sutras of both the Maharishis and these can be proceeded chapter-wise (after you regroup them accordingly i.e., taking up Arudhas, Karakamsa, Upapada, Ayur, etc., in Jaimini Sutras when the same is touched upon in the BPHS - chapterwise). Warm regards, Sarat. --- Sanjay Rath <daivagyna wrote: > Fiesta > Jaya Guru > Dear Jyotisha, > Are people interested in learning the Jaimini > Sutras from me - One adhyaya per month - direct > contact in a guru-sisya method.

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2003 Report Share Posted July 24, 2003 OM NAMO GURUBRIHASPATHAYE Dear Visti ans Sarajit, I think Gurudeva asked about something else. Are you trying to organize any "Distant learning" method for students who like to learn from Gurukula ? Me too happy to help you on this, if you need. Thanks Karu |Vyam Vyasadevaaya Namah|Dear Guruji, Namaste. Sarajit has given his thoughts - It is i who have kept quiet. This opportunity is what i've been waiting for in a looong time. Direct teaching in this form is an excellent idea - offcourse how can it not be? there are only 8 adhyayas in the Jaimini Sutram, however there are said to be 108 in Parasara's Hora Shastra - yet some small and some big, hence possibly can be covered in 12 parts at maximum... Its a big feat to begin on. Only 2 things need to be planned carefully; 1. Planning of how much shall be tought and when. Also will it all be taught in one go, or will it be a repeated the next year? 2. When does this happen. Other than that, i'm looking forward to breathing some fresh air and eat some Jyotish for breakfast.

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2003 Report Share Posted July 24, 2003 OM NAMO GURUBRIHASPATHAYE Dear Gurudeva, I had a desire to visit Puri one day for this type of work. But, you all organized the conference early next year. Cannot afford to come every year as not only schools of boys, work etc., but also visit the next door only. Finally fixed the mind and forget it,as it could be the desire of the God. This time, you are going to organize such a advance work, which cannot afford to miss. Please consider school holidays etc. I can try my best. But I am only a one and if others want to go, it is fine. I will join later class. Hare Krishna Karu Jaya Guru Dear Jyotisha, Are people interested in learning the Jaimini Sutras from me - One adhyaya per month - direct contact in a guru-sisya method. I have been thinking about this ever since Narasimha wrote that the basics are not strong. Or would you like to learn the Brihat Parasara Hora Shastra. We can cover this at a faster pace. The system is different. We will take one chapter and then go through each of the sutras in it, understanding each word, implications, references, and usage. This will be done in the morning. Then in the afternoon, you can do self study of the chapter based on the methodology. and then again in the evening after 4 PM, we shall have another 2 hour meeting where we discuss the doubts till the evening. In this manner each chapter will become a part of you. My friend Mr.Krishnan Nambiar has a fine resort/gurukul atmosphere. Take a look at this http://www.vedantaretreat.com www.vedantaretreat.com I like this place and will be there next year anyway. I am thinking of starting these direct contact classes in India from next year. Any inputs/ideas are welcome. My method of teaching is very different from what you would have heard or seen. At confereces I only ape the general trend but then my own thinking does come. However these classes are very different. Rohini, Shiv, Sarbani, Gaurav, Goelji and others from Delhi who have attended will know. The basics will be very strong. I want to time this when most of you can get some leave.

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2003 Report Share Posted July 24, 2003 Dear Karu, Dilipda, JKda and other jyotishis, Visti Larsen and Sarajit Poddar, two of our very respected gurus, have been working on the curriculum and modalities of a correspondence course, for quite sometime now. When it is completed, we will get to hear about it, so do have some patience while they are working it out. Direct classes cannot be tied up with conferences, as a totally different mindset is required. The whole day shall be dedicated to the learning of the shastra, whether Jaimini or BPHS. A chapter or part of it will be taught in the morning, followed by individual study sessions by the students, and then the group will meet again to discuss the topic. This is not the exact structure that we have in mind, but something similar, depending on how Sanjayji and the other gurus work it out. A week to a fortnight can be dedicated to it. The idea is to have a gurukul atmosphere, away from daily chores of profession and domesticity, preferably away from the city or town, in a secluded place, with nothing to divert our minds. This would be almost like a retreat. By no means, can this be clubbed with a conference. We have not decided on a place, but something serene and peaceful like the Gurukul Retreat in Kerala mentioned by Sanjayji. We are working on options and possibilities, keeping prices, climate etc. in mind, and in due course of time, we will announce it. We are ensuring that accommodation and food expenses are reasonable on a priority basis. We will ensure a nominal registration fee for SJC to cover its organizational expenses, and perhaps a nominal guru dakshina as well? Or we may keep guru dakshina as dakshina, for those who may wish to contribute to it according to their inclinations and capabilities. Please also realise though we will try our best to keep Indian school holidays in mind as well as international vacation periods like Christmas, it may not be possible to satisfy everyone's needs or fit into everyone's schedules. Some people will get left out, do keep that in mind. Many of you have spoken about taping the conferences and making them available for those of you who are outside India and may not be able to attend. This is a very good idea, and we should think about making MP3 CDs for easy and cheap dissemination among SJC members. Please keep giving us your ideas.

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2003 Report Share Posted July 24, 2003 aià gurursarasvatyai svähäDear SaratYou feel we should take this topic wise as we did at Delhi or should this be chapterwise. I think we need to walk through each of the Sutra and those cross references...so many of them. So based on your suggestion, you think we should have the BPHS as the fundamental book (agreed- anytime you know why). Then we go through each chapter and see what others have to say as well and accept or reject. Thats critical study and is very good. You also know tha there is nothing called advanced class - one learns as they work.Yes I had the same idea. It has to be BPHS ad Jaimini complementing so that they realise that the are the same. But what we did at Delhi was the jaimini sutra..one by one and then the linkages, options, spiritual aspect etc. The other day I spoke on "Gajakesari Yoga and Sri Krishna" - I think Sarbani, Mayapur and a few others were there. The deeper understanding of the yoga leads to a fuller understanding of the remedial measures. Why Santana (children) vrata are associated with krishna can only be understood if they understand Gajakesari etc Yogas at the highest level. It has to be natural teaching and I will give the broad outline for the course only. In fact at Delhi, if you remember I would come to class and ask you all what you wished to learn and then teach that. Few people can really appreciate that level and remember sometimes this wouldbe 7-10 hours and we would feel more energitic after that instead of being drained out!!! Jagannath's miracles.

Guest guest Posted July 25, 2003 Report Share Posted July 25, 2003 || Jaya Jagannath ||Dear Sarbani, This is a known fact that books like the Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra and other Jyotish classics require a more exhaustive treatment. One of the fruitful outcome of such Gurukula could be such commentaries of such Books. I am more than sure, Sanjayji by himself can do such a big task, however, after such intensive trainings, he can remain a taskmaster and get the things done from the capable students. I am sure, many more interesting things shall come out from the brain storming sessions each day. I am thinking of some structure for this. The whole group of participants shall be grouped together in small discussion groups of 5-6 persons each, based on the capabilities of the grp member, each grp shall contain a mix of beginners to advance students. This shall intensify the discussions and the real understanding after the morning classes. This shall also be good for the beginners, who can get things clarified from the advance students, before putting them to sanjayji. Each day one of the grp shall be entrusted with the responsibility of compiling the teachings and the discussions, which shall be verified after the Gurukul is over. This shall also contain various questions posed by the participants and their answers. I think we need many more books for cross-references during this time. Some of them are: 1. The Srimad Bhagavat Gita 2. The Major Puranas 3. The Upanishads 4. The 4 Vedas 5. Major Astrological Treatise Such as Saravali, Jataka Parijata or Prasna Marga etc. (So see the views of other authors on the topics we would be discussing) I guess, it is too early for deciding the structure like this.... lol...

Guest guest Posted July 25, 2003 Report Share Posted July 25, 2003 || Jaya Jagannath ||Dear Gurudeva, We all know the significance of BPHS and Jaimini Sutras in the Jyotish world. They form the foundation of the whole edifice. I concurr with you that, the learning of each sutras is more fruitful as the definite order in which the knowledge is presented must be having a lot of meaning. Probably the knowledge of the earlier slokas, chapters are needed to understand/ appreciate the knowledge in the subsequent chapters. We shall follow a regular Gurukula order, from early morning rise, yoga and meditation, puja, classes, evening discussions, compilation of the discussion on that day meditation, sleep... or something like that for seeping in the knowledge gained on that day.

My ownfeeling is it will render a better understanding ofthe sutras of both the Maharishis and these can beproceeded chapter-wise (after you regroup themaccordingly i.e., taking up Arudhas, Karakamsa,Upapada, Ayur, etc., in Jaimini Sutras when the sameis touched upon in the BPHS - chapterwise).Warm regards,Sarat.--- Sanjay Rath <daivagyna wrote: > Fiesta> Jaya Guru > Dear Jyotisha,> Are people interested in learning the Jaimini> Sutras from me - One adhyaya per month - direct> contact in a guru-sisya method.

Guest guest Posted July 25, 2003 Report Share Posted July 25, 2003 Dear Sanjay, Sorry for the delayed reply..... got stuck with the usual mess in office with the Parliament Session on and you know the troubles it brings. I am in full agreement with what you have said in the manner you will handle the classes/teachings. I want it that way, as (i) it makes you very comfortable teaching the subject and (ii) it seeps in easily. However, there were a few problems in it - (i) we used to drift away with cross questions (ii) we used to go away from the topic and come back after a long gap. Nevertheless, it was an excellent form of learning. However, my feeling is, coupled with this informal teaching of yours, if others such as Visti/Sarajit/myself (though I am not very sure I can handle the books - more comfortable the way you do things)/etc., could, perhaps, handle the books which should be perfect. In that case, you can handle one session, while the rest can take the other, preferably before your classes. My opinion still is that BPHS should be the main book with Jaimini Sutras complementing the same chapterwise (that will make the understanding easier), while all other classics viz., Saravali, Sarvartha Chintamani, etc. I think that should make that a brilliant session. I fully agree that there is no such thing really as advanced/beginner etc., so long as we are going to handle BPHS from the beginning. For those advanced it will serve as a refresher and for those beginning, it will be fresh learning. Warm regards, Sarat. --- Sanjay Rath <daivagyna wrote: > > > aià gurursarasvatyai svähä > Dear Sarat > You feel we should take this topic wise as we did > at Delhi or should this be chapterwise.
