Guest guest Posted February 12, 2003 Report Share Posted February 12, 2003 Dear friends As you might be aware that the " Ashtakvarga " is recognized as an outstanding system of prediction among the several systems advocated in the standard works on Vedic astrology. It has been commended as the best and the most indispensable key, so that all predictions have to be made only after a consideration of the Ashtakvarga. The system appears to have originated in the very remote past. Acharya Varahmihira (circa 500 A.D.) mentions it rather casually, as if it had already become an integral part of the standard teaching on astrology in his day, not requiring a very detailed exposition. It is quite likely, therefore, that the system originated some centuries before Varah, perhaps a couple of centuries before Christ. Generation after generation of astrologers will remain eternally indebted to the great seers who devised the system of " Ashtakvarga " which accomplishes the complex task of handling the intricate web of matrix generated by interactive planetary positions, with admirable aesthetics and commendable ease. This system has a certain originality parallel of which is not found in any other system, anywhere else in the world. " Ashtakvarga " system presents a scope of departure from its traditional applications to the " research " minded Vedic Astrologer. It can be subjected to many innovative applications suited to the modern context. Its use in 'Argha Prakaran' or 'Financial Astrology' is one such area in which innovations are waiting to be explored. The use of Ashtakvarga system by the wisest of Vedic astrologer has remained almost limited. Unfortunately, the " APPLICATION PART OF ASHTAKVARGA " has remained ignored. Ashtakvarga has been called 'Nishchayaansh " (The Decisive part) of Vedic astrology. A new , titled " Ashtakvarga " , has recently been formed. If you are interested in discussing the subtleties of the " Ashtakvarga " system, you are most welcome to join this group. Please visit following page to join: ashtakvarga/ This group is dedicated to the great Indian heritage of this mystique system, called " Ashtakvarga " , and I hope this group will be able to contribute to the efforts of well meaning educated persons, trying to save this system from going into oblivion.
