msg #93: PETER's last word

[Guest guest]

Dear Peter and Respected List members:

 

I see your dillemma from the post #83 below. Now that I am

configuring my settings I see that there is not an exact answer to

the problem - at least for those of us who are using PL.

 

I put in the deviation from Raman as was suggested: -00:26:3 and

using mean nodes got a familiar chart. This is all - by the way, for

my own data as was given in this months meassges. According to

krushna's ayanamsha calculator the value for that day should be:

22:30:07. Using the deviation from Raman in PL, it comes up as

22:30:18, so 11 sec off. I am assuming that this is the closest that

we can get to Krushna's ayanamsha using PL. If there is a way to

refine this please show me how.

 

Sincerely,

 

Puneet

Hi Puneet,

I think that the GJ works out more accurately than PL bit if you haven't

that program it could cause a slight problem. I think the chart should be

pretty much the same but there may be a couple of days difference in the

dasas.

There is one possible answer. At the time several of us were trying to set

up GJ and PL I believe that Sandy Crowther used a different offset from

myself it was an offset from Lahiri and possibly that was a bit more

accurate.

Her site is www.jupitersweb.com so perhaps you can contact her through that

site. I do also have her private address but I am unwilling to divulge that

without her permission. You could also contact her through the SATVA list or

even the SIDEREAL list.
