SAVol7Dec09WesternCo.. - Saptarishis Astrology

The worst problem is out of 10,000 people on forums 8 will come forward to help and 7 out ofthem will just disappear when we send manuscripts to them. Imagine this happening to you not oncebut 60-65 times in 4 years, what will you do, either you give up or cry like a kid and curse from yourheart when it happens to you every time. You must also be prepared to face the egos of those who haveknowledge of any language. Regarding translation this mail was sent to us 2 months back when wepassed a rare work on Jaimini called Jyotish Phalaratnamala’ of Krishna Mishra duly translated by ShriChandrashekhar Sharma to a volunteer for proof reading:-Dear SA, (he means Saptarishis Astrology)After reading Jyotish Phalaratnamala of Krishnamishra translated by Ravindra Bhagavat and Sharmaji Ihave realized that me having spent 9 years in Jaimini parampara on internet forums is a waste. Onlyone thing can be understood after Jyotish Phalaratnamala is read that is all of us have wasted our time inJaimini astrology. In earlier mail you said you are doing more works and when you all publish the fullof these works that you have started on Phalaratnamala, Kalpalatta, Jatasarasangraha,Sutradaprakashika I think it would be easier for us to realize that in this life we can never understandJaimini astrology. I pray you to success in finding Sanskrit scholars who can translate them andencourage people like Chandrashekhar Sharma, an old hand in astrology to continue what he is doing.Many know Sanskrit but you will find a dearth of them when it comes to dirtying their hands andputting their heads under the sword of real translation. You see scholars of Sanskrit who have gone toUSA tell us ‘It is the prerogative of one whether to do translation or not’. Sometimes it takes lifetime tounderstand God or Knowledge even if for years one does Homams and Havans. One of the most notedsingers in India, Asha Bhosale gave an interview on the front page of Bombay Times in the month ofSeptember, and she said ‘If God has given you an ability then you should use it for the good of people’. We aresure she does not do hours of homam daily but understands the meaning of Vidya as singing is also aVidya. What is the use of learning sanskrit and proclaiming oneself great in sanskrit when from 30years of one’s existence ‘In Sanskrit’ one cannot translate a single manuscript or work. SometimesIndians learn in Universities that are sponsored by Govt through tax payers money like ours and thenthey go to America and settle down forgetting that the very reason they can eat and live in comfort inAmerica is due to tax payers money like us, the very reason they can get scholarships in sanskrit back inIndia is due to us. Shameless followers of theirs can only keep quiet and not point out the flaw of theirheroes and these gurus are more shameless when they write in forums ‘I am a good sanskrit scholar’.Sir, if you are a scholar you would never say I am a scholar that is for the world to say so. Vidya(knowledge) is 4H, whether mother’s milk is there or as some take it as 7H for mother’s milk which canbe interpreted as the arudha of knowledge being 4th from 4th. This Debt of Mothers milk is only givenwhen what you learn from your mother (education) is given out to the society (7H-public) and hencewe can say that people like Shri Chandrashekhar Sharma are giving out the Debt of their mother’s milk bytranslating works in sanskrit, even though he being a humble man claims he is not a scholar of sanskritin contrast to others who want to be leaders but not followers of the science, a formula for destruction inJyotish. We bow down to Chandrashekhar Sharma who has not talked about humbleness andscholarship but demonstrated it. You are hereby requested to publish this not because I want to takerevenge but so that I can inspire 100s who know Sanskrit to come forward and work as a Team intranslating Jyotish work, maybe this is the karma of this letter. Today we need teams and notindividuals. It would be nice if don’t edit this.Regards,P……2.4 Manuscripts & Jaimini AstrologyOf all branches of astrology today Jaimini Astrology has risen in the last few decades thanks toefforts of few nice souls like Iranganti, K.N.Rao & Sanjay Rath. Inspite of their hard work thesubject is too huge & nothing substantial has come out and a lot is to be done with the roadwide ahead. Most of us young ones feel that everything in Jaimini Astrology is already revealed andtend to use it to make predictions and spoil the lives of people. The worst Karma is considered when selfappointed Gurus along with titles of Gurus are dished out and naïve folks tend to believe when we seecomplex techniques and calculations with more complex conditions that keep on changing every 3 years.45
