Prashant Ji,

There are some persons who will not touch Kundalee and would want me to prove

its accuracy. It is not in my power to remove centuries of prejudices against

Suryasiddhanta. The moment you start using Kundalee seriously as you use any

other software, you will find its worth. Any discussion about it will be

fruitful only after you use it at least for a handful of cases. I will devote as

much time on your horoscope as you like  AFTER  you start using it.

 

Try to find out what it offers, and not what it lacks. Kundalee lacks many

features I would life to add in future. But it possesses something unoque which

only pracrical tests can prove : foolproof Vimshottari Timings and divisionals.

Dear Shri Vinayji,

 

Please predict about my past life and also some thing about my coming future by

your Kundalee software so that everybody beccomes fan of it and also let us know

your technique of predicting it.

 

One more question in Purana Rashi system has been used as Tropical or Sidereal??

 

Regs,

Prashant Pandey
