Who was the FIRST JYOTISHI?

[Guest guest]

You are absolutely right! Vimshottari has been stated as a GENERALLY-APPLICABLE

dasa. However, it was not the ONLY general or UNCONDITIONAL dasa as recommended

in BPHS :-)

 

And in the poignant hints given around Ashtottari dasa, Parashara had referred

to 'others' (sort of citing but without details). He has done that elsewhere in

the treatise as well and this has reference to a post I read recently (one of

the jyotish fora) where the impression was being given that Parashara was the

FIRST jyotishi in the Universe. Obviously not true!

 

But Vinay jee, you are well-versed in Hindu Scriptures and have devoted your

life to these so you may perhaps know and wish to share (or not...!). WHO was

the FIRST Jyotishi ...?

 

Others may add their wisdom and experiences too, of course since this is a

public forum.

 

Happy Holi, even though for me I can only imagine and live through my memories

of Holi!
