Hey, no problem If it turns you off, then it is not for you, at least at this time. I was not trying to create doubts in your mind, but just found it interesting. Also the article by Shyamsundar Dasa on the lunar year-solar year quandry.Rohiniranjan wrote:Thanks RR ji. 360 tithi year is approximately the lunar year. I remember reading Narasimha, creator of JHora recommending usage of 360 tithi year for all Udu dasas.mysbcrs wrote:Rohiniranjan wrote:RR ji,mysbcrs wrote:Raman 360: Sa-me-ju from Mar 26 to Aug 2 then -- saRohiniranjan wrote:Apologies.

7L Ju is in 6th from dasa lord Sa and also from Ve, 7L from dasa lord and dasa sign and dasa sign lord are in 6/8 placement. Ve is also 12th lord (6th from 7th) and Sa is lord of 6th from Ju. Is this not a more straight-forward link to the problem? Going by Raman ayanamsha (apologies for adding to the confusion :-() and a 360 tithi year, the period corresponds to Sa-Me-Ve

As per Lahiri ayanamsa, the usual style it comes to Sa- me- ve; that is we would like to 'depart' to close up view on timings.

I hope I transferred the above without errors
Rishi, did the unfortunate turn of events began after April 18 and came to a fore around or after July 9 (the impact of the turn of events sank in, is what I mean)
Please share if known.
Thanks,

There seems to be some difference in the software that we are using.
15/June/1969 05:13 AM, Kolkata puts the lagna at 5Ge47'40.29" on JHora
using Raman ayanamsha. 360 tithi VM gives Sa-Me-Sa from 10/12/2009 to
11/5/2010 and Sa-Ke period thereafter.
The reason I felt Ke fits well is the "sudden" turn of events indicating
that the problem was all the while latent inside the body. Ke afflicts
the 7th lord by conjunction and also represents Me.
As for GY, I have not seen much impact in a couple of charts that I have
seen. Also as Rishiji already mentioned, classics seem to exclude the
nodes (and Su too?. Combustion seems conceptually comparable)
from the purview. Perhaps there are some finer points that require
far more expertise than I have.
Dear friend,
I used PL 7.0 for this one. Very recently, someone has made a very definitive sounding statement about the accuracy of its calculations and the predictive part of it which utilizes several classics (BPHS, Jaimini, Horasara, Garg Hora etc). I personally have reservations against relying too much on machine-predictions since the algorithm tends to be simplistic (literal) and often throws conflicting indications. A good learning tool, though, so please do not treat this as a nit-picking on my side! I am just being factual. I ran the dasha and transit interpretations from august 2009 for 2 year period and sadly must report that while many good things were predicted, such a HUGE life-changing event as Rishi shared with us, did not show up in its report! Other than some general indicators to look out for mental distress and restlessness, but that was showing up generally over the entire period which I believe was not the case. It did churn out many pages of reading though (with typos :-( )
BTW, the 360 and 365 were meant to be days and not tithis! PL only has the 360d savanmana (civil year as it is called), 365 (solar) and 327 (nakshatra transit year. Hence the difference from your calculations. The ascendant was the same as what you got.
The 360 deg (based on tithi return) is newly introduced (in software) and I have not tested it to give a strong opinion for or against. I am hoping others would who can, but I had also hoped, somewhat naively (!), some forty years ago that by the time I am a ripe old man of sixty, SURELY, all these ayanamsha, house division, combustion, griha yuddha, AV differences between Parashara and Varahamihira and a bunch of other mysteries would be definitively solved and put to bed. My coveted birthday present did not arrive on my 60th birthday! But then, neither Y2K, nor the sun entering the Vishnu-nabhi in Mayan myth (more like they just got tired of chiesling the stone tablet and stopped their calendar once that point was reached (december 2012), but the much touted end of the world did not arrive either! For that matter, neither did the much feared III world war or Prince Charles becoming the King of England! And many such fearsome events, which could also include the much touted (90s) coming of the next Prophet Maitraya (don't think this is the same person in the discourses between Parashara and Maitraya in the book also known as BPHS. Kali Awatar has, though, although not in the shape or form that any of us imagined when we were running around in knickers, years ago! (Sorry, if I sound like I am lamenting and venting! I am grateful to MA that the end of the world has not arrived! Who would be so heartless as to decimate this beautiful laboratory of Human Experience! Other than some trigger-happy, EGOMANIAC DICTATOR!!)
That digression aside (sorry again!), this matter of tithi has bothered me a bit! When we use solar year, we are actually looking at the apparent solar journey from POINT 0 to POINT 360 in a circle! With actual natural phenomena of day and night, repeating themselves, reliably. To me that sounds like a good and non-arbitrary measure. The same can be said about the nakshatra year. Though it gives a smaller year which may create new problems if married with the dashas, and also has nothing to day with the units of diurnal rhythm: night and day! Similarly, the savanmana is arbitrary and the 360 days give a queasy feeling, although I have used it, but then I was adjusting the ayanamsha too to line up with particular events in a test-bed of charts.
Now tithi does have the visible points of poornima and amavasya and have a mystical significance as they seem to work in muhurtas etc if you have played with those. But the 12 degree elongation (moon to sun) is arbitrary and based on closeness to the mean duration of diurnal elongation of the faster body (moon) over sun, as the former dances around sun. But it is really dancing around the earth on which we live and the duo (earth and moon) like two lovers are dancing around the sun, which gives us our day and night and also the dance creates the solar longitude (apparent projection of the earth) and the solar year.
Some may say that the 30 degree signs are arbitrary too so it is all in the same boat, sceptics may add! Anyway, treat my sharing as a free-association and not some gospel that I have arrived at and that it is my way or you head to the highway!
Maybe I am getting too old and resisting change! Maybe I get satisfied and contented too easily (sign of maturing and old age), which is fine and dandy! Just in case the world decimates, I will at least die a contented old man...!
Love, Light, Peace!

PS: By the way, since you are interested in GY, search for an article by Edith Hathaway who wrote in fair details about Chakrapani Ullal's take on GY. Nice and fresh look at something that has created much furore for some decades but only mentioned in passing in BPHS etc. But then, so were the Vargas and Padas etc, if you look at it. And scriptural predictions fail, or are conflicting as seen with Parashara Light at least! Don't know in details about other software players in commercial field.
I read through part of the article that you referred on GY. Unfortunately my skepticism still remains as I encountered more or less the same questions on the example charts there as I did while studying charts that I know of. Going more into that will be too much of digression.
You sound like an experimenter. That is a good trait to have in a dedicated jyotishi.
Yes, I have heard of/from Narasimha that he is now experimenting with the cusp as bhavarambha. KP has always used that as well as placidian cusps. Incidentally, since how long have you been using the cusp as beginning of a house approach? Did doing so resolve any issues or confusion that you were experiencing when you used the more traditional approach (whole sign, equal house or sripati-Porphyrii systems with cusp in the middle of the house? Please share, if you wish to.

Thanks RR ji.
No, it did not turn me off. It is just that I felt I need more time. I am as yet
digesting the simpler rules. Skepticism, I feel, is healthy since it helps
me to work more on that.
As for the question of definition of the year, I guess we will have to use
the one that was used for "calibrating" the ayanamsa. Hidden in this
"calibration" is also the definition of what constitutes time of birth. In the last year or so I have found some confort in using Raman ayanmsa with
360 tithi year (of-course after doing a BTR using these). Thanks for
the pointer. I wlll look up that article.
As for using cusp as the start of the Bhava, I have to admit that I use it
only rarely when there are some apparent contradictions in the rasi
placement and results. This is not very scientific.
