Dear friends, before fighting on which Āyanāṃśa to be used, I'd like to understand Tropical zodiac & Sidereal zodiac. Because Āyanāṃśa is defined based on those parameters itself.
I happen to see Vic Dcara's YouTube channel, in that he mentions that there is no wrong in considering Tropical zodiacs & he says that it's not just restricted to seasons. He is showing some verses from Sūrya Siddhānta & also from Bhāgavata Purāṇa. Frankly speaking, I didn't understand what is he speaking. He considers Kṛttika to be the 1st star it seems that Vernal equinox in the Vedic period was in that constellation. Now, it's shifted to Uttarābhādrapada constellation. But finally, I got a doubt that are we strictly suppose to consider that Aśvini to be in Meṣa Rāśi?
Now, I'd like to follow whatever ancient seers have suggested & after understanding that I'd like to question if things aren't clear. Could someone please educate me on what ancient sages have suggested, I've been trying to understand it from so many days.
Thanks
