Ayanamsas - The last Word ???

[Guest guest]

Dear Sandy, Donna and List Memebers,

 

Sorry about that I forgat to mention that we should all be using

Varahramiriha astakavarga, which I had disvovered some weeks ago. My

error and I,m sorry about that.

Now I spent several hours trying out the non straight line method

which Sandy suggested. I had tried this before and had no success but

I couldn't remember why - today I found out. QWhen I tried to add

three dates in the list to try and correct some of the discrepancies

the program froze. I reduced this to two dates on the list and it

still froze. It did work when I only added one date. This is my

computer which is nearly 2 years old and perhaps a later one would

work - I just don't know about that. For your information I have a

Pentium 2 267MH chip and 128MB ram.

Using only one date I tried the ayanamsas at 9 different years from

Krushna's list and the results were very variable. Somewhere on the

list the ayanamsa still varied from that of Krushna by about 48

seconds. The actual year depended on which years ayanamsa I ha dput

on the list - if I used say 1900 then the ayanamsa would still show a

large variation at the 2000 year, and vice versa. Using 1950 provided

the best all round option.

 

During the time I was running these tests I also checked on the lagna

each time and THE LAGNA VARIED BY NOT MORE THAN ABOUT 1 MINUTE.

This was the case whichever date I used for the list and even if I

went back to the straight line option - it also agreed with the lagna

given by the offset I suggested for PL. This made me think a bit and

made me have a rethink as to what exactly we were trying to do.

Really the ayanamsa is irrelevent to our objective - what we really

need is to get the lagna and the Moon in the same position as

Krushna. If we can do that then all the charts and all the

astakavarga bidus will automaticall be the same . IT DOES NOT MATTER

IF THE AYANAMSA IS 30 OR 40 SECONDS OUT PROVIDED IT GIVES THE SAME

LAGNA AND MOON.

If you think about this you will see that it is true and more than

that, as the lagana is the more sensitive of the two all we really

need to do is get the lagna very close, if this is done then Moon

will be exact in most cases and not more than 1 second out in others.

This is in fact as close as most computer programs get it anyway.

 

With the setting I suggested in my addendum the lagna will always

agree with each other in GJ and PL. This I checked for about 10 years

spread out over the 20th century. It will also give the same bindu

distribution which is really all we want. I am not sure how close

this would be to the lagna and Moon using Krushna's Visual Jyotish

but as long as the Moon is close and the lagna is in the same house

that's really all we need.

 

I leave it up to you.
