But then you never know, maybe " modern Vedic astrologers " have seen the " paroskhya meaning " of " paroskhya rashi " based " parokshya predictions " which people like me cannot. Unquote Yes, my sympathies are with you and it is true that all people cannot understand the Vedas and sometimes get peeved when they hear of the Paroksha meaning of the Vedic verses and sometimes even ridicule that Vedas have secret meanings, but what can be done as the facts are like that. Brhadaranyaka Upanishad does clearly state about the Paroksha meanings. 2) The Rashis are groups of stars and if the formation or shape resembles that of animals would that not have been useful to the naked eye astronomical observers? What alternative ways can one suggest to distinguish in the sky the different groups of stars in the Rashis? Can Avtarji would have any alternative suggestions if he dislikes the imaginary animals in the sky? 3) " Bha-chakra " is " Nakshatra-chkra " . Now how can Avtarji say that " Bha-chakra " is the same as the " Mriga-chakra " ? To my knowledge the animal shapes have been ascribed to the Rashis only. May be the other scholars like Sreenadhji, Vinay Jhaji, Chandrahariji, Sunil Nairji can also express their views on this. Regards, Sunil K.
