Guest guest Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 Namaskar Chandrashekarji, Thanks for your good wishes and blessings. From the descrption of your friend, I have not met him (a real pity considering the treasure house of Jaimini books that are in his care) I enjoyed my interactions with the Jyotishis of Pune immensely. I had the good fortune of meeting an old professor of Sanskrit in Pune University who is the best Jyotishi I have met to date (His name is Professor Pandit) He is a remarakable man.He was close to 75 years when I met him last (4 years back).He just has to look at your chart for two minutes and he will make a prediction after reciting some Mantra. His predictions have been amazingly accurate in my case (exact dates of getting jobs,marriage etc) The first time I met him and told him about my interest in Jyotish,he gave me a piece of advice 'Be a Bhimsen Joshi,do not be a orchestra player'.I treasure this advice to this day. It is really my good fortune to have met such a great man Regards, aavesh Chandrashekhar <sharma.chandrashekhar wrote: Dear Aavesh,Thank you for the kind wishes.

Bhandarkar Oriental Research Institute in Pune (on Bhandarakar Road next to FTII) also has some rare manuscripts on Jyotish and Indology I have personally been there on one ocassion and can vouch for the vast amount of literature on view (Quite a bit was burnt in the fire which engulfed the institute about 4 years back) Lovers of Jyotish/Ayurveda would do well to pay a visit to this hallowed institution Regards, aavesh rk dash <arkaydash > wrote: Members, scholars: The thread has served a purpose, that of acquainting many of us with what was what by consolidating some of our vague impressions. While Shree Chandrshekhar has put things in perspective, Sunil Saab has done his bit of good by voicing the little biases here and there. I agree (with him) that the tradition can go on and on, any clime, anytime. North it was. South retains vibrancy. As much as it is touted to do? Sadly we haven't as many, perhaps hardly any, able astrology sooth-sayers as we should. Aavesh tells us something of immediacy: the bookstore in Gaya. Thank you, Aavesh, for taking us to Mannulal Pustakalaya. Will someone please confirm it still functions?

I beg your pardon for stepping into what is a dialogue between you and Sunliji.My two cents on the issue under discussion : I think what is being forgotten is that Varanasi was the most highly regarded seat of learning of hindu shastras for long. To establish one's authority on hindu shastras, one had to defeat the Pandits of Varanasi in discussions based on Tarka and Pramana. Jyotish being one of the main hindu shastras, saying that astrological tradition in north was not common is perhaps far from truth. You have made a very valid point Sir.Varanasi has indeed been a focal point for Jyotish studies.The contributions of Pundits like Sitaram Jha to Jyotish are really a benchmark. Incidentally the 'Mannulal Pustakalya' in Gaya is another place where Jyotish manuscripts are available (I am not sure whether it is currently open though)By the way, Varaha Mihira was with the King of Ujjain. Ujjain (Ujjayani) has been the other important city for Jyotish studies since the time of Varahamihira.Prithyuyashas (credited to be the son of Varahamihira) has also written a seminal work on Jyotish known as 'Hora Sara' (In my opinion the best classic in delieneting the effects of planets in various Bhavas) I do not think I have denied existence of families with long tradition of jyotish being in existence in South India. Incidentally, my family also comes from South India and we have our own long unbroken parampara in jyotish, coming through my maternal grandmother's side of family. But that does not mean there were no such families in north of India. Very True Sir.Even today Ujjain has got some very renowned Jyotish families who have a long tradition of practicing Jyotish I do not think we are doing the divine science any service by bringing the north south regional divide in to the discussions that began with Parashara being one of the Pravartakas. Very true Sir.This has been the bane of Jyotish and has occupied considerable time and space on various groups.The important thing is to treat Jyotish as a Vedanga and not get into too many controversies on origins which will just serve to waste valuable time and space Regards, aaveshsunil nair wrote: hare ramakrishna , respected chandrasekhar ji . I think we r discussing some thing with imotional attachments and not willing to see the truth. u r willing to accept that astrology originated from sivaji and also many ppl ascribe to different gods or rishi kulas (sapta rishis). even vedas discuss some astrology where as parashara was no where during veda period . Also in parasari the dasavatar is discussed as planetary devatas where as the oldest worshipping god in india by all means siva is not mentioned .(Atleast my information ) then 18 pravarthakas like brahma ,narada is learned from parasara if u go by ur versions. also the astrological tradition in north and bphs was not very common in north also as may be various reason . from varahamihira tovenkitesha daivagna(marathi astrology families ) whose family migrated to varanasi ,after a long gap in astrology . oldest versions of bphs we got from south and also from many collectors in west and still some blv the compendium called available bphs its self is corrupted and incomplete . Also many dasas ,if u go by parasari itself ,not explained in it .where as avilable in many part of india in detail ,example yogini dasa . so if we can forget all this then ur argument is correct . even now long standing families in astro is in south except the claim or truth of pt sanjay raths orissa tradition. Yes kerala also during the hight of budhism ,as asoka and his dughter sangamitra came to kerala and sent budhistmonks all over world tru kerala ports and budhism s contribution to astro was almost meagre Then brahmins ( still in kerala sanskrit and all traditions are vibrant with all communities) learned astro from other communities and they started again more vibrant .But kerala has ppl from all castes as astrologers or u name anythings abt indian sciences and mutualy r gurus to each other .Here No caste system worked out ,even the sanskrit tradition was like that . And when king of travancore ,kerala started a sanskrit college under the chairman ship of his son krishnan nair ( as to re direct his anti british activites -he was funding irish republican army ) the OBC students got first ranks in schools and fianaly krishnan nair has given one of his palace as college in kerala as other college was in a tamil brahmin village known as agraharam and they objected it . so they r using more varahmihira ,aryabhatta and bhaskara traditions and parameshara s drigganita which corrected surya sidhnata and planetary positions. Also i find in jaimini the system of katapayadi which is only popular in kerala .sri vara ruchi was propounder of this system and any body authored any books we can understand its year of writing by katapayadi methods again i am yet to find any book in north in sanskrit using it . In parasari u find jaimini and jaimini some says differrent .Some says jaimini is sisya of parasara -then y he said jaimini sutra instead parasari?? who proceeds who ?? if we argue we can say both ,and jaimini uses the keralas prevalent katapayadi system .So many things we can co relate >and here i am not bringing anything religionalism or what ever .But in a debate every thing will spring up .That is the reason atleast with indians and hindus i avoid it as then they will start things imotionaly .Showing the non maturity and dont know even how to participate in a discussions so so many unanswered questions are there . so we can agree to disagree here and let us close this tread which is no way contributing for the study . regrds sunil nair om shreem mahalaxmai namah.

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 Dear Aavesh, The advise to become Bhimsen in Jyotish, and not an orchestra player there in, was a sound one. I am sure that applies to all sciences that one wishes to follow. Professor Panditji appears to be a very wise man. Take care, Chandrashekhar. aavesh t wrote: Namaskar Chandrashekarji, Thanks for your good wishes and blessings.

Bhandarkar Oriental Research Institute in Pune (on Bhandarakar Road next to FTII) also has some rare manuscripts on Jyotish and Indology I have personally been there on one ocassion and can vouch for the vast amount of literature on view (Quite a bit was burnt in the fire which engulfed the institute about 4 years back) Lovers of Jyotish/Ayurveda would do well to pay a visit to this hallowed institution Regards, aavesh rk dash <arkaydash > wrote: Members, scholars: The thread has served a purpose, that of acquainting many of us with what was what by consolidating some of our vague impressions. While Shree Chandrshekhar has put things in perspective, Sunil Saab has done his bit of good by voicing the little biases here and there. I agree (with him) that the tradition can go on and on, any clime, anytime. North it was. South retains vibrancy. As much as it is touted to do? Sadly we haven't as many, perhaps hardly any, able astrology sooth-sayers as we should. Aavesh tells us something of immediacy: the bookstore in Gaya. Thank you, Aavesh, for taking us to Mannulal Pustakalaya. Will someone please confirm it still functions?

I beg your pardon for stepping into what is a dialogue between you and Sunliji.My two cents on the issue under discussion : I think what is being forgotten is that Varanasi was the most highly regarded seat of learning of hindu shastras for long. To establish one's authority on hindu shastras, one had to defeat the Pandits of Varanasi in discussions based on Tarka and Pramana. Jyotish being one of the main hindu shastras, saying that astrological tradition in north was not common is perhaps far from truth. You have made a very valid point Sir.Varanasi has indeed been a focal point for Jyotish studies.The contributions of Pundits like Sitaram Jha to Jyotish are really a benchmark. Incidentally the 'Mannulal Pustakalya' in Gaya is another place where Jyotish manuscripts are available (I am not sure whether it is currently open though) By the way, Varaha Mihira was with the King of Ujjain. Ujjain (Ujjayani) has been the other important city for Jyotish studies since the time of Varahamihira.Prithyuyashas (credited to be the son of Varahamihira) has also written a seminal work on Jyotish known as 'Hora Sara' (In my opinion the best classic in delieneting the effects of planets in various Bhavas) I do not think I have denied existence of families with long tradition of jyotish being in existence in South India. Incidentally, my family also comes from South India and we have our own long unbroken parampara in jyotish, coming through my maternal grandmother's side of family. But that does not mean there were no such families in north of India. Very True Sir.Even today Ujjain has got some very renowned Jyotish families who have a long tradition of practicing Jyotish I do not think we are doing the divine science any service by bringing the north south regional divide in to the discussions that began with Parashara being one of the Pravartakas. Very true Sir.This has been the bane of Jyotish and has occupied considerable time and space on various groups.The important thing is to treat Jyotish as a Vedanga and not get into too many controversies on origins which will just serve to waste valuable time and space Regards, aavesh sunil nair wrote: hare ramakrishna , respected chandrasekhar ji . I think we r discussing some thing with imotional attachments and not willing to see the truth. u r willing to accept that astrology originated from sivaji and also many ppl ascribe to different gods or rishi kulas (sapta rishis). even vedas discuss some astrology where as parashara was no where during veda period . Also in parasari the dasavatar is discussed as planetary devatas where as the oldest worshipping god in india by all means siva is not mentioned .(Atleast my information ) then 18 pravarthakas like brahma ,narada is learned from parasara if u go by ur versions. also the astrological tradition in north and bphs was not very common in north also as may be various reason . from varahamihira tovenkitesha daivagna(marathi astrology families ) whose family migrated to varanasi ,after a long gap in astrology . oldest versions of bphs we got from south and also from many collectors in west and still some blv the compendium called available bphs its self is corrupted and incomplete . Also many dasas ,if u go by parasari itself ,not explained in it .where as avilable in many part of india in detail ,example yogini dasa . so if we can forget all this then ur argument is correct . even now long standing families in astro is in south except the claim or truth of pt sanjay raths orissa tradition. Yes kerala also during the hight of budhism ,as asoka and his dughter sangamitra came to kerala and sent budhistmonks all over world tru kerala ports and budhism s contribution to astro was almost meagre Then brahmins ( still in kerala sanskrit and all traditions are vibrant with all communities) learned astro from other communities and they started again more vibrant .But kerala has ppl from all castes as astrologers or u name anythings abt indian sciences and mutualy r gurus to each other .Here No caste system worked out ,even the sanskrit tradition was like that . And when king of travancore ,kerala started a sanskrit college under the chairman ship of his son krishnan nair ( as to re direct his anti british activites -he was funding irish republican army ) the OBC students got first ranks in schools and fianaly krishnan nair has given one of his palace as college in kerala as other college was in a tamil brahmin village known as agraharam and they objected it . so they r using more varahmihira ,aryabhatta and bhaskara traditions and parameshara s drigganita which corrected surya sidhnata and planetary positions. Also i find in jaimini the system of katapayadi which is only popular in kerala .sri vara ruchi was propounder of this system and any body authored any books we can understand its year of writing by katapayadi methods again i am yet to find any book in north in sanskrit using it . In parasari u find jaimini and jaimini some says differrent .Some says jaimini is sisya of parasara -then y he said jaimini sutra instead parasari?? who proceeds who ?? if we argue we can say both ,and jaimini uses the keralas prevalent katapayadi system .So many things we can co relate >and here i am not bringing anything religionalism or what ever .But in a debate every thing will spring up .That is the reason atleast with indians and hindus i avoid it as then they will start things imotionaly ..Showing the non maturity and dont know even how to participate in a discussions so so many unanswered questions are there . so we can agree to disagree here and let us close this tread which is no way contributing for the study . regrds sunil nair om shreem mahalaxmai namah.
