You use I am old fashioned and don’t know how long I will live but I take B V Raman as my Guru, Iknow he had his own shortcomings and did what he had to do to survive but you see in our days wenever made such statements about ones Guru especially in public as the following questions will arise.How can a student endanger his own Gurus reputation throwing him armor-less in this modern worldwhere if you hide anything it is considered wrong and a sin? Now think since you are a young publisherand must learn to respect elders teachings to us.a) If the students word is true in the above email it means his Guru has all the commentaries ofJaimini Sutras.b) His Guru has not replied in the forum saying he does not have those manuscripts.c) If so how come his Guru has not given out the original manuscripts to the Jyotish Fraternity, itdoes not take long to scan and upload on severs (SA: servers it should be). Nowadays technologyis there na.d) If all commentaries are available with the Guru then as a scholar he did not quote the relevantshlokas from those commentaries in his book Upadesha Sutrase) There are some 1500 people in that forum how come no one asked for those commentaries to begiven out, why are the gurus hiding it. For me those commentaries are no use as I have 1.5 yearsleft as per nadi predictions. Maybe I will read it in next life via your website. Get themtranslated will you. Wish Saptarishis Astrology had come 30 years back people like me wouldhave quenched our true thirst for knowledge.During my days I was so passionate about my Guru Dr B V Raman whom I met 4 times, andwould defend him against those who were against him. He was always criticized that he hid the DhruvaNadi for 40-45 years, I think he was gifted that manuscript in 1952 or 53 and even as late as 1990s he saidhe would translate it. My best friend who was anti-Raman always told me that Dr Raman has notrevealed the most important nadi Dhruva Nadi inspite of taking 40 years to translate it and I wouldfight against him and even to Dr Raman to release that manuscript. His health was not well I am toldduring those days and did not hear from him.Sorry you have to hear the whinings of an old man but after so many decades in Jaimini andParashari Astrology one only feels frustrated as our technical queries are not answered in this life time,what will we predict from a chart when we are ourselves having doubts on our completeness of our astroknowledge.May this not discourage you my child you guys are doing important work, don’t give up.Regards,S……….. (name deleted)DelhiWe have around 5-6 major commentaries the work on which has already started andright now the translation of the monumental Kalpalata and Jyotish Phalaratnamalathe backbone of Jaimini Astrology is being presented in this issue. After few yearsthere would be some debate and a better translation will come out in them, that is the process of howknowledge comes out but Chandrashekhar Sharma, Virendra Battu will be the Knights who took thechallenge and did it without bothering if they would be criticized or not. This only a true Knight ofAstrology can do what it takes to be done whereas others sit and write articles but these translators aregiving you the very source to research and then write articles, presenting you the tool to glorify yourname. No doubt their names will go in the annals of astrology forever as the men who did it instead ofjust talking about it. To bring out 15 commentaries it would take us 50 years, then it would take you 10years to read and understand them, then another 20 years to master some of the dasas. Better advice isdon’t touch Jaimini Astrology till all the resources are available, don’t touch it till dasas given byparamparas on nets have stopped their transformation process as all of you have observed that various50
