Guest guest Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 Dear Sunil Nair and other Friends, I have 5 versions of BPHS. I DISCOVERED ONE THING THAT ABOUT 90% SLOKAS ARE SAME .. All version propagate the same philosophy. I really do not need to go as to which Parasara authored BPHS. It looks that the version of Vishnu Puran published by Gita Press Gorakhapur may had been written in about 2000 B.C.Author of this Vishnu Puran and BPHS seems to be same MAHARISHI. This Vishunu Puran clearly indicates that V.E.Point was in 1st pada of star Krittika at the time of its narration. There may be School of Parasara.The grand Son of Vashitha and father of Vyasa and also author of BPHS may be different persons but belonging to same school of thought,( as in the present era the title of Shankracharya is continuing , some say, since last 2500 years) However these issues are not of my present study. As you have brought some aspects on this issue I have expressed my understanding on the matter.I wish to concentrate on my study of astrology and do not want to join such issues with any person. I personally immensely benefited by BPHS and this shastra continues to guide me. You said Mr. Murthi has already published three volumes on BPHS, where I can find them if they are in English OR Hindi. I personally advise you as elder to you in age . Kindly study BPHS , it will show you the way.Such discussions leads us no where.

Acharya Sridhara's Sanskrit commentary with hindi translation published by Venkateshwara Steam Press Bombay 2. Commentary by late Sita Ram Jha published by Master Kheladi lal and sons, Varanasi 3. Commentary by Devachandra Jha published by Chaukhamba Vidhya Bhavan, Varanasi 4. Commentary by Ganesh Dutta Pathak published by Thakur Prasad Pustak Bhandar 5. Nilakantha (1443-1543AD) and Sundararaja mentions that Govindasvamin (800-50AD) has written a work called Sampradayapradipika which is a commentary on Parasara hora and whereabouts of this work is still unknown However, based on these (more or less) some modern writers like G.C Sharma and R Santhanam (incomplete version but only completed by some other person) have attempted their own, sub-standard works about which I would like not to discuss Vachaspati, Jyotisha Vijnana Bhaskar, Rashtrapati Puraskar Sri Madhura Krishna Murthy is presently writing BPHS in 5 volumes, and he has already published 3 volumes. In his magnum opus, Sri Murthy says in the preface that " Among these four available versions, 1 and 4 are nearly similar, and 2 and 3 are similar to each other. He says that - after thorough cross checking these versions with the available manuscripts (at different Oriental Libraries) - 1) the adhyaya krama or order of chapters are not matching, 2) the number of chapters are also not coinciding Above cited 1 and 4 versions have two parts called Purva and Uttara with 51 and 20 chapters respectively, while 2 and 4 versions have 65 and 31 chapters respectively ( Devachandra Jha's version contains 3 chapters more, 2 in first part and 1 in second part)which are still short of 100 chapters as endorsed by Parasara in last of BPHS. If we also visit Jaipur Pothikhana where there exists wonderful collection of Astrology and Astronomy,we could not find manuscript of BPHS, please one can refer " appendix V of Sawai Jai Singh and his astronomy " by V N Sarma, published by MLBD. I personally made a visit and found many works dealing mainly on works of Acharyas of AD but less on BC, and there is an original copy of Brihatjataka with tika etc, Sripati with tika, Jaimini Sutra vritti etc. implying more development existed after Kalyana Verma till Kesava and Sripati in Varahamihira' s school Of course, there are many Oriental bhandagars, discussion of which will be boring to many members, My question to you or any distinguished scholar is: Can they take us into time line from present to the time of Parashara (if we are referring to father of Vyasa, then it is around 5100 years back since now, and Varahamihira existed more than half way i.e.,around 505 AD and he in his magnum opus Brihatjataka mentions in second stanza that after thoroughly examining many schools he is presenting a boat called " Hora Tantra " (please note the word Tantra) to those Intelligent - Patu buddhibihi) and he does no where adopts Vimsottari Satam or other dasas mentioned by Parasara Now regarding the question put forth by you " What is transit? " I have already given explanation in my earlier posts, and to one of the member Mr Vijaya Narasimha Pakka, who feels how in olden days it is possible to erect planetary positions etc, he or other members too can click this link: http://en.wikipedia .org/wiki/ Antikythera_ mechanism and I plead all to pay obeisances to this wonderful Yantra and have a great feeling of time travel and visualise the master mind of Great Acharya Varahamihira Jai Jaimini Jai Varahamihira Jairadhe Re: [vedic astrology] Re: [ancient_indian_ astrology] Conjunction of Dispositors in Transit Dear Goelji, Agreed to what you say, but isnt transit fixed beforehand, i.e., even at birth time of a person, so that birth time alone decides complete fate of a person. Birth time decides what transits the person is going to encounter after, say, 25 years. This can be calculated beforehand, i.e., immediately after birth of the child and based on transit, natal chart / dasa calculations, complete future can be predicted. Hence birth time alone controls the entire fate of the person. But such long term calculation of transits, i.e., after 25 years or so was not simple earlier, hence astrologers never used to do all that and simply forecast only on basis of natal chart and dasa.

Guest guest Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 Dear members, Opinions are well open to public, it is left to an intelligent reader Coming to Goelji's request of three volumes, it is available only in Telugu.
