Dr Manish Pandit's opinion on commercialisation of Jyotish?

[Guest guest]

Dear Mr PVR,

 

Your spiritual guru Dr Manish Pandit is the author of a Jyotish book which is

selling for £18.99 (approximately 1,300 rupees) for the past few years.

Accordingly to his website, he has plans for a second follow-up book.

 

In your message 118875 in this , you wrote that he forbid you from

transferring ownership of Jhora. One of the reasons he gave you in July 2009 was

" ... and eventually make it (Jhora) commercial like everything else they are

doing today " .

 

I would like to know his opinion (and yours too if you would like to share) on

the commercialisation of Jyotish.

 

My question is this - what is the difference in consequences, karmic or

otherwise, in selling Jyotish in the form of a book compared to other forms

(software, magazines, courses, consultations ... etc)?

 

Your spiritual guru's opinion will be helpful for list members to judge the

moral grounds he stands on in current and future discussions on

commercialisation of all forms of Jyotish when his views are being shared in the

forums through you.

 

His opinion will also be helpful for aspiring Jyotish software creators, book

authors and course creators in deciding whether to charge a fee.

 

If it is okay to charge fees for Jyotish, how much to charge and where to draw

the line what fees are considered reasonable.

 

If not, how to justify the time and effort spent from not performing a

householder's dharma *even better* by spending more time and effort on make a

living to further ensure the long term financial stability of his/her family and

loved ones.

 

I sincerely hope he will clarify this issue once and for all.

 

Thank you.

 

Best Wishes,

Pushya

PushyaJi,

 

NarashimaJi did mean to say that everybody should stop charging a fee for their

jyotish work. He very well knows that we all have a family to feed.

 

What he actually means is that he has no interest of gaining wealth by accusing

anybody.

 

What he actually means is that his only interest is to bring name and fame to

Jyotish and not to himself.

 

What his only interest is to point out abnormalities in some of the concepts,

which he thinks as being incorrect.

 

I think it's fair enough to give him a platform to put up his point of view.

 

People wrongly, deliberately concluded that he wants everyone took up jyotish as

a social service and not as a profession. It an individual choice, I think he is

not forcing anybody to do social service.

 

Everybody is bound by his karmic influences, if krsna wants that one should do

social service, nothing can mutate that.

 

There are subtle influences beyond explanations, why NarashimaJi has taken this

discrete step.

 

Krsna has plane for NarashimaJi, as he has for you or for Manish pandit Ji.

 

Thanks…

 

NarashimaJi, I sincerely believe that if you decided to step back now, then

whole jyotish community will doubt your sincerity and intrigity.

 

From where you are standing right now, you can only move forward.

 

 

Hare Rama Krishna,

Arun

Some members are deliberately or inadvertently diverting the issue to

commercialization of Jyotisha & c. The real questions put forth by PVR

lie unanswered.

 

We do not find any free and fair discussion, without any acrimony, on

the questions by PVR concerning some key concepts propounded as

paramparaa by Sanjay Rath Ji.

 

If these internet fora cannot be used for discussing important topics of

Jyotisha, what is the use of these fora??
