Guest guest Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 Dear DADAs and BHAIs (here, there and elsewhere!), This ongoing 'civil-war', while very interesting is getting repetitive, so for the re-engagement of the " READERSHIP " of this VISUAL FORUM, I am throwing in a light remark! Just because it is " light " does not mean that it is expected to be enlightening! ;-) Give or take a few years, the SAYANA ZODIAC as used in the context of astrology (divination and not for fixing festival times etc!) probably started around the time of Christ's Birth, around the era when the SAYANA and NIRAYANA Zodiacs were almost coinciding! Some 2000 years ago. I think the Hand-project etc have indicated that too, although please do verify! Sometimes the Right Hand does not know what the Left Hand does! So this SAYANA vs NIRAYANA Taqraar is beginning and escalating, not in the Pauranic or Vaidik ages but THESE days when the Sayana and Nirayana are significantly different! Wasn't the case perhaps in the Tetrabiblios days or when Varahamihira and Satya wrote as some date those Jyotish Doyens! (AGAIN, please verify! I always hated History in school, but absolutely loved Science and Logic!). Now really what is crucial is: Are Seasons important or the Stars? I say both!

No purana ever said that the rashis are not sidereal. Let Jyotirved show a single statement if any purana specifically mentioned that the Rashis are not sidereeal. All the Rashis mentioned in the Puranas, as quoted by Jyotirved in his BVB6.doc,  are sidereal. His assertions that the Rashis are not sidereal would not change what Vamana purana says about the rashis. The Vamana purana tells us which ar the nakshatras in a particular Rashi..

Guest guest Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 Dear Rohini, Your " I say both " is the right answer to the problem but Jyotirved is not agreeing to that because he had for years campaigned against the use of the Sidereal Zodiac, being under the influence of the Pingrean ideas. Bhagavad Dutta says in his edited Atharvana Jyotisha that the Varas have been used before the 12 th century BCE and he also explains how the Brahmana used tithis and not varas in the rituals but Jyotirved says that the deditor believes the date to be 500 BCE. Such open distortion of truth is difficult to tolerate. Such mails with the falsities are appearing practically every day and if I would have seen Jyotirved's horoscope then I could have had some ideas as to how long this anti-scriptural tirade will continue.
