Dear Pandey ji,

YOU have posted nice dialogue, it is good to read at.

The calender making and its reform are serious matters

and decided on scientific basis.

A civil and seasonal calender has to be based on tropical

co-ordinates. This was recognised since Vadic era.

The predictive astrology needed different co-ordinates and tools:

!. Since ancient days , the sages observed, recognised and evolved various stars

and constellations .They had  also recorded the effects of transit of planets in

constellations.

These are given in vast independent literature  still available , which is

called Mahurta shastra.

These references are also extensively quoted in Vedas' , Puranas' etc.

2. After Mahabharata era , Panchag was come into existence and in extensive use

..( In those days

  it was not possible to pin-point the location of V.E.Point on  ecliptic.)

Panchang has five limbs:

 

 a. Vara -week days- In  Indian Astrology , week day starts from Sun rise.Sun

rise was calculated

  with help of charantra and velantra. 

Knowledge of vara prolongs life as it gives life and energy. 

  b.  Tithi -As all of us know  it is angular difference in the arc of Moon and

Sun

Knowledge of tithi brings prosperity as it strengthen marital relationship ,

passion and love life.

 c. KARAN - Karan represent half of the TITHI.It has a big importance as it

controls the Karma.

Knowledge of karna leads  to success in all endeavours as it indicates

activity,work in society,and achievements,

  d.  Nakshatra - As Moon takes a round of the earth in about 27.32 days , they

have divided

      Zodiac in 27 equal parts each of 13deg 20 min.  They had also

visualised(or introduced )

     28th Nakshatra , but without disturbing basic division of 27

Nakshatras-28th the ancient nakshatra

     carved out of last pada of Uttarasadha and 1st portion   of 53'20 " of

Sarvan.Taittirya Samhita 4.4.10 gives the     names of Naksharas . We are using

the same names without any deviation.

   Similarly , Richika 3.11.1 of Taittrya Brahman contains all the names like

Sun .Moon, Nakshatra,

   Samvatsar, Ritu ,Masa,Arthmasa, Ahoratri, Purnamasi ,Astami , Amavasya etc.It

also says that division       of   Nakshatra is based on Moon..

   Nakshatra was used as one limb of Panchang since time immemorial.Varaha

Mihiri in Surya siddhanta

   also indicates the commencing  point of each Nakshatra from its yogatara,

   Yogatara of nakshatra Chitra  i.e star chitra is exactly in the middle of

this nakshatra and as such

   1st point of sidereal zodiac is commences opposite to star Chitra.This fact

was  also recognised    by Calender Committee , Most of Panchang makers agree

with this.

Knowledge of nakshatra removes sins as it is indicator of disease, death .

bodily ailments.

  e, YOGA - This is the sum of the longitudes  of Sun and Moon (Atma + Manha =

Jeevha) ,They are also

     27 in number and 1st Yoga- Visvakumbha commences from star Pushya.This is

the reason that

     there is a Puranic lore that Jupiter (Jeeva) was born in Pushya.

Knowledge of yoga gives immunity from diseases as it is indicator of general

relationships, the company one keeps , friendship circle.

Next step was to develop branch  known as Jataka ..In this we require a birth

chart and its analysis.

BPHS PROVIDES US UNIQUE TECHNIQUES TO ANALYSE A BIRTH NATIVITIES . It is

unfortunate

that some savants (though in poor minority ) are not able to see its merits.

They are more interested in

chronological order than the contents.. Such persons wish to reform others

without first reforming themselves.

No person can appreciate the depth of sidereal astrology without understanding

Mahurta shastra.

Vikram Samvats-sar calender is totally based on astronomical norms and

completely suitable

and meets the requirements of our ancient astrology which is developed in last

5000 years.

The present calender is in continuous use for over 2000 years.

No one calender can meet all the requirement of society,as such the present

panchangs are amalgamation

of many calenders meets the requirement of all division of society.As an example

you pick up Martand Panchang,

it gives all necessary information on sidereal , tropical as well as other

calender. one can pick up information according to its need.

Americanised Ramayan

 

A young second generation Indian in the US was asked by his mother to

explain the significance of " Diwali " to his younger brother, this is

how he went about it...

 

" So, like this dude had, like, a big cool kingdom and people liked

him. But, like, his step-mom, or something, was kind of a bitch, and

she forced her husband to, like, send this cool-dude, he was Ram, to

some national forest or something... Since he was going, for like,

something like more than 10 years or so... he decided to get his wife

and his bro along... you know....so that they could all chill out

together. But Dude, the forest was reeeeal scary shit... really

man...they had monkeys and devil s and shit like that. But this dude,

Ram, kicked with darts and bows and arrows... so it was fine.

 

But then some bad gangsta boys, some jerk called Ravan, picks up his

babe (Sita) and lures her away to his hood. And boy, was our man, and

also his bro, Laxman, pissed... all the gods were with him... So

anyways, you don't mess with gods. So, Ram, and his bro get an army of

monkeys... Dude, don't ask me how they trained the damn monkeys...

just go along with me, ok...

 

So, Ram, Lax and their monkeys whip this gangsta's ass in his own

hood... Anyways, by this time, their time's up in the forest... and

anyways... it gets kinda boring, you know... no TV or malls or shit

like that. So,they decided to hitch a ride back home.... and when the

people realize that our dude, his bro and the wife are back home...

they thought, well, you know, at least they deserve something nice...

and they didn't have any bars or clubs in those days... so they

couldn't take them out for a drink, so they, like, decided to smoke

and shit... and since they also had some lamps, they lit the lamps

also...so it was pretty cooool... you know with all those

fireworks... . Really, they even had some local band play along with

the fireworks... and you know, what, dude, that was the very first, no

kidding..., thatwas the very first music-synchronized fireworks... you

know, like the 4th of July stuff, but just, more cooler and stuff, you

know. And, so dude,

that was how, like, this festival started. "

 

The mother fainted...
