noreply@blogger.com (Punit Pandey) — Sun, 20 May 2012 05:45:33 PDT

Friends as you are already on my blog, you would have noticed change in the layout and the look. I am planning to write more frequently on my blog and hence I have changed look and feel of this blog completely to make it more readable and pleasant looking. Please let me know your feedback on the new look of this blog.

Coming back to the topic or Surya Grahan (Solar Eclipse), I have already written one article on this topic from the Mundane Astrology perspective titled Economic Crises, Gold Price, Share Market and Surya Grahan. I hope you would have enjoyed it.

Apart from it, we have couple of articles available on AstroCAMP.com/ AstroSage.com which you would find useful like Surya Grahan on 20th May / 21st May 2012. One article that people were asking was impact on them of this Surya Grahan on 21th May/ 21st May.

First of all, I would like to say that Surya Grahans have more significant impact on mundane affairs like world politics, world economics and general conditions of the whole world than on individual. Secondly, this Surya Grahan is not visible on most of the India so not that much significant for the people in India. Only people of the country where this Surya Grahan will be seen must bother it. Nevertheless on popular demand, we have published Surya Graha impact on each Rashi on AstroCAMP. You can read it there. The article covers -

Surya Grahan Impact on Aries (Mesh Rashi)
Surya Grahan Impact on Taurus (Vrishabh Rashi)
Surya Grahan Impact on Gemini (Mithun Rashi)
Surya Grahan Impact on Cancer (Karka Rashi)
Surya Grahan Impact on Leo (Simha Rashi)

Surya Grahan 2012, Greece Default & Economic Crises

noreply@blogger.com (Punit Pandey) — Sun, 20 May 2012 04:51:34 PDT

A Surya Grahan (Solar Eclipse) will take place on 20th May / 21st May 2012. This will be first Surya Grahan in this year 2012 which is taking place in Taurus sign and Krittika star. I had a quick look at the the planetary configuration during the time of Surya Grahan and unhappy to say that it doesn't look good.
This Surya Grahan gives some indication of economic crises. I am no expert in economics and my little knowledge tells that it can be due to bad situation in Euro zone escalated from Greece problems. Overall, economy seems in a concerning state and hence does Indian share market / sensex and nifty.

I have written detailed article on AstroCAMP.com on this topic that can be found at - Solar Eclipse, Greece Default & World Predictions

Jupiter Transit Through Taurus after 17 May 2012

noreply@blogger.com (Punit Pandey) — Sun, 20 May 2012 01:47:24 PDT

According to Indian astrology, Jupiter is changing its sign from Aries to Taurus on 17th May 2012. Jupiter is the Guru, a preacher. Taurus is a sign owned by Venus, another Guru. Jupiter is a planet for finance whereas Taurus is the sign for luxury. Jupiter symbolizes spiritual world whereas Venus symbolizes physical world. Jupiter thinks of others first whereas Venus thinks of itself. There are lots of similarity because both of them are Gurus but some fundamental differences as well. Let us try to understand how it is going to impact you.

In astrology, Venus attains highest power when it is in the sign of Jupiter i.e. Pisces. Though Jupiter is said to be in enemies camp when it is in the sign of Venus. So generally for Jupiter, this is not among one of the best positions.At the time of changing sign, Jupiter will remain in Krittika nakshatra.Krittika nakshatra is not considered a good Nakshatra for any planet in general, so Jupiter doesn't get much power here. During the course of its transit through Taurus, Jupiter will also pass through Rohini and Mrigshira nakshatra.

How will be this transit for you? Before proceeding I want to caution that in astrology, dasa must be given more importance than transit. Transit can not overrule your dasa, so lot depends upon your dasa and do not expect overnight change due to this change in Jupiter's transit. There is another caution that I want to place here. In astrology, we need to combine various factors to conclude whether a period will be good or bad. For example, how is Jupiter in your birth chart, which dasa you are passing through, which nakshatra Jupiter is passing through etc. So the zodiac sign given next is just suggesting and not conclusive. Last but not the least, position of Venus (sign lord for Taurus) and Sun (nakshatra lord Krittika) is very important here. If these planets are good, you will get good results for this Transit change. If these planets are not well placed in your birth chart, you can not expect good result from this transit change. Anyways, here are the results according to AstroSage.com Transit Horoscope (based on Ascendant / Lagna) -

Why Diwali is celebrated on Amavasya having debilitated Sun?

noreply@blogger.com (Punit Pandey) — Sun, 20 May 2012 01:48:01 PDT

Alternate Question: Why Diwali is celebrated on the Amavasya day when Sun also is debilitated and Moon doesn’t have Paksha Bala?

Somebody put up this point that Dipawali is the day when Sun is debilitated and Moon is also weak due to Amavasya, but that was the day when Ram Rajya started. He concluded, hence debilitation (neecha) doesn’t have any meaning in astrology.

Interesting question indeed and lots of people do not know the reason and hence come up with incorrect conclusion. I just want to clear this confusion out by sharing my thoughts.

Deepawali is celebrated on the day when Sun is debilitated (neecha). If a planet is neecha, it loses majority of its strength. Not only that, Moon is also weak because Deepawali is celebrated on Amavasya, the day when Moon is very close to Sun and doesn’t have paksha bala. For Moon, paksha bala is the most important strength and Moon is very weak without it. So the question arises why we celebrate our most important festival on such a day? Generally for any important work, we choose a day when the planets especially Sun and Moon are powerful, so why an exception here?

The reason lies in intelligence of our sages. Sun is the planet of light; Moon is the planet of wealth. On the day of Diwali, these two planets are weak and dark forces are very powerful. As these planets are weak and dark forces are powerful, we pray, we worship, and we light candles/ deepak to strengthen good forces. Good forces require support in terms of all the lighting and worshiping efforts. In other words, praying, worshiping, lighting candles are mass-scale remedies to support good forces against dark forces.

We remove tamas (dark) and bring Jyoti (good forces) back by defeating the dark forces. Our sages were very intelligent; they knew when this world needs mass scale remedies and made the festival on the day.

Diwali is not alone, our Sages has suggested puja and prayers on all amavasya by different names. So make sure that you light your world and defeat dark forces this Diwali.

Ravan Samhita - Mass Fraud Continues

noreply@blogger.com (Punit Pandey) — Sun, 20 May 2012 01:49:02 PDT

Recently somebody in my Vedic Astrology Facebook group informed me that translation of original Ravan Samhita has been published by Chaukhamba. Wasting so much time and money on duplicate and photostat copies Ravan Samhita, I was delighted hearing this. I have great faith in Choukhamba and seeing opportunity I didn't waste any time and immediately called Choukhmba up. In the group I was given address of "Chowkhamba Sanskrit Seris Office, Varanasi"

In 2-3 days book was delivered to me by VPP. That was quick. The cover of the book was Black and Yellow with Ravana picture on it. I was very happy having this book in my hand. I started reading book and which was divided in six sections. First was about Ravana, second was about Shiva and Shiva Sadhana, third was about Yoga, fourth was about Mantra, fifth was about Ayurveda and sixth was about Astrology. As my primary interested is in astrology, I skipped quickly to the last section of astrology named "Jataka Gunaguna Nirupam".

Just after reading few stanzas I could see influence of Kerala Jyotish. I though OK, Lanka is not far from Kerala and it is very much possible. As I kept reading, I started suspecting it. I felt good amount of similarity with Prashna Marga. I started matching stanza by stanza and the Jataka section of Ravan Samhita was nothing but copy of Prashna Marga. To my utter dismay, this was nothing but "Prashna Marga" only and the author Dr. Surkant Jha put it in the book by the name of Ravan Samhita. What a shame.

Later on I realized that the author Dr. Surkant Jha has also translated "Prashna Marga" and published by the same publication house. So when he didn't find astrology section in his manuscript, he just copied Prashna Marga and put it in the name of Ravan Samhita. Well done Mr. Jha. Copy-pasting doesn't end here. Even the translation is picked-up from the "Prashna Marga" Hindi Translation by Shri Shukdev Chaturvedi and Late Shri Jagannath Bhasin published by Ranjan Publications. I didn't find much difference between his translation and Ranjan Publication translation. It was more of find and replace of certain words and phrases using computer. I must say I am very disappointed.

On a sidenote, my first level investigation says that "Chowkhamba Sanskrit Series Office / Chowkhamba Krishnadas Academy" and "Choukhamba Sanskrit Pratishthan/ Chaukhamba Surbharti Prakashan" are two different companies. Later has published some excellent Sanskrit translations and I am indebted to them. I just want to caution astrologers to be very careful of buying "Ravan Samhita" by "Chowkhamba Sanskrit Series Office", it is not worth the money. If you are astrologer, better get "Prashna Marga". If you are interested in rest of the material, get "Chaturgyan".

Saturn leaving Virgo entering Libra & Shani Sade Sati

noreply@blogger.com (Punit Pandey) — Sun, 20 May 2012 01:49:19 PDT

On 15th November 2011 around 10:11 AM IST Saturn, our beloved Shani Dev, is leaving Virgo and entering Libra. Saturn is going to stay in this sign for the full year 2012. At the time of entering Saturn will be in Chitra Nakshatra - 3rd quarter. At that time Moon will be in Ardara Nakshatra - 4th Quarter in Gemini sign. Due to this transit, Shari Sade Sati will end for Leo Moon Sign (Rashi) and it will start for Scorpio Moon sign (Rashi). In other words, now Virgo, Libra and Scorpio will be under the Shani Sade Sati influence.

I personally do not give much important to Shani Sade Sati phenomenon but people interested can read following articles -

Vedic Astrology Discussion Forum on Facebook

noreply@blogger.com (Punit Pandey) — Sun, 20 May 2012 02:03:26 PDT

I am generally an active community member and participate in various communities. My favorite for astrology community is Yahoo Groups and I have many forums there. For example, a forum for learning KP Astrology on Yahoo Groups was created in 2001 and now in its tenth year.

There are various community websites available, but the main advantage with Yahoo Groups is the integration with email. I mean, you can participate in discussion just by email and there is no need to visit Yahoo Groups website.

Recently, Facebook has also added this email discussion feature in their forums. I recently experimented with it and found this feature similar to Yahoo Groups. Keeping it in mind I have created a Vedic Astrology discussion forum on Facebook. If you are already a member of Facebook, you can request joining.

For Facebook addicts, I think this will be more convenient than Yahoo Groups. Please try experimenting and let me know your feedback. Here is the URL again - http://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=group_157922590915148&ap=1

Updates on GPS Prashna Kundali Software

noreply@blogger.com (Punit Pandey) — Mon, 15 Nov 2010 04:51:19 PST

Last week we announced Free GPS Prashna Kundali Software (Horary Astrology Software). We got excellent feedback from astrologers and astrology enthusiasts. Based on the feedback and suggestions, we have made few changes to the software to make it more useful. These changes are most important -

We have introduced a new hyperlink named "GPS Accuracy". If you click on this link, it will tell you estimated GPS Accuracy in meters. This will help an astrologer taking decision whether to use software provided latitude/ longitude or to enter your own.
Started using higher precision for location detection. Though this option is slightly slower than earlier method, it gives more accurate latitude/ longitude.

Please continue sharing your feedback so that we can improve the software further.

Free GPS Horary Astrology Software Announced

noreply@blogger.com (Punit Pandey) — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 04:47:07 PDT

Dear Friends,

We are happy to announce a new FREE astrology software interface that I am sure will be loved by Horary astrologers (both traditional and KP) and the astrologers who use “Time Charts” frequently. We call it “GPS Horary” and it is available at http://www.GPShorary.com. This software doesn’t require any input from the astrologer and can detect your latitude, longitude, time zone, dst etc. automatically and can generate chart based on that instantly. You just need to click on “Get Horary Chart” and instantly you will see horary chart (Prashna Kundali) – no input required. Some of the salient features of this software are -

1. User’s Location Detection using GPS: It detects your position (latitude/ longitude) using GPS or GeoLocation technology which is already supported by most of the leading browsers and mobile phones. Generally it gives very accurate longitude/ latitude information of the user’s location (accurate up to few meters). I guess, Internet Explorer doesn’t support GeoLocation feature natively. You need to install Google Toolbar (http://toolbar.google.com) to get support of GeoLocation feature. Other browsers like Firefox, Chrome, Safari, iPhone browser, Android browser, Nokia browser doesn’t require toolbar. It is extremely accurate if accessed from the device that has GPS inbuilt like some of the recent mobile phones.

2. User’s Location Detection using IP: If GPS coordinates are not available, it tries to find out your Location using your IP address. Though it is less accurate than earlier GeoLocation method, still good-enough for most of the practical purposes. If the software will use GPS, it will show “GPS Coordinate” in the Place field. If it is showing name of the place, it means that the software is using IP address for finding out latitude and longitude.

3. TimeZone Detection: Not only that, it also tries to find out your time zone. So you need not to enter your time zone. Time Zone detection is based on your DST, so you need not to worry about DST either.

4. DST Detection: It also detects whether DST (Daylight Saving Time) is applicable to your place or not based on your location. Finding out DST is a big headache for most of the astrologers for various cities, so this feature will be really convenient for the astrologers especially in the counties in US, Europe and Australia where DST is used.

5. User’s Date & Time Detection: Last but not the least, it also picks up date and time from user’s computer and NOT from the server. Which means that it will use date and time for your place. (It would be a good idea to check your local machine clock prior to using this software. Now a days, Windows support the feature of synchronizing your computer’s time with atomic clock, so make sure you have enabled that and correct time on your computer.)

6. KP Horary Number Auto Generator: If you are a KP astrologer, just click on “Random KP Number” and it will automatically fill computer generated random number between 1 to 249 in “KP Horary Number” field. For traditional astrologers or time charts, KP Horary Number is not required and it can be left as-it-is.

As it finds out everything automatically, all you need to do it to click on “Get Horary Chart” to generate Prashna Kundali or Horary Charts. Of course, you can change any value that you want to, if needed.

If you are using http://www.GPShorary.com from your mobile phone, you should get even more accuracy, as now-a-days all hi-end mobile phones like iPhone, Android, Nokia, Samsung, LG, Sony etc. have GPS device inbuilt. You will enjoy this software really when you are travelling and somebody asked a horary question to you.

As this software is in beta phase, your feedback will be very useful to improve it further. Please write to info@astrocamp.com or to me and share your feedback.

If you are member of any other astrology forum, you are requested to forward this email to those forums so that other astrologers also know about it and take advantage of it.
