I realize in hindsight :-( that this 'steering' that I have inadvertantly done on the original Arudha thread must have created some personally difficult moments for some dear friends and others, but none of that was maliciously intentional. For me jyotish (as tenets and dicta go) and as seen, has never been a religion but rather a mishmash of logic and facts and perhaps some fiction and I am simply curious about it all! Like a child, if at my ripe 2*5 cycle age I may call myself so and others equally ripe or riper might believe me!
First and foremost, this side-tracked, FRESH thread is not about re-searching the Arudhas but SEARCHING them perhaps!
Secondly, at least to me, it is not a coffee-house stroll where we friends gobble up dosa, uttapam, roshogollas, pav-bhaji or dhansak and rumali roti and a steaming cup of Kona coffee (grown on volcanic hawaii) and head back home, lighter in the wallet but heavy in the stomach!
We read and see examples passively, as we read books and scriptures too fall in that category! Books and articles have examples, convincing examples but incomplete and that leaves a lacuna, just like a masala thosa in which exquisite and exotic ingredients, all by the book, were incorporated but SALT was missing and as per the rules of the CAFE, salt shall not be provided and has to be provided by the consumer-customer!
Kind of like the situation in modern jyotish!
But, I am not trying to reform or deform modern jyotish! I just am seeking salt for my thosa, uttappam of curiosity!
Let us get back to Arudha and its many faces and nuances and let us be foremost loyal to JYOTISH and when it is to be applied in real life, it often is not a joking matter! Despite what nameless ones with dubious handles claim it to be or wish to reduce it to...!
Love, Light, Reality!

{addendum: Incidentally, in recent surgery and Thread-o-plasty etc, my original 'errata amendment' got overwritten by forum software :-(, so to refresh memories, this is the chart I submitted for Arudha Lagna = how others see the nativity SEARCHing!
Karka lagna
Simha rahu
Tula mangal
Kumbha sun, merc, saturn, moon, ketu
Mesha jupiter, venus
Thanks for helping me in my search (of Arudha meaning and not a paav bhaaji kaa thela, etc!}
