Vic, I also could not get the points that he was trying to make. I played with the transits examples he stated, but I did not come to the same results. I just posted it to see if I was missing something and someone could clarify things for me.

Possible reasoning behind the Vimshottari Dasha Me too. There are a few things that need explanation: exaltation degrees is one. Another is the lengths and sequences of the various Indian dashas. These things have completely mystified me so far. The only book I read that tries to explain the the length and sequences of the Vimshottari dasha is t...

IMO, the changes made by the Indian's were intentional. They were coming from a nak?atra-centered background, and wanted the exaltation degrees to make sense with the nak?atras (using the then-current ayanamsha).

Waybread, Seeing your posts and other posts by academics on this site is really eye-opening to me. Academics really seem to lord their credentials over others. Sorry, but that does not work for me. Twenty years ago I healed myself from some serious chronic illnesses after mainstream medicine and sci...

Hi Waybread, Berossus is just stating that a worldwide cataclysm of a flood with occur if all the planets are in Capricorn and a worldwide cataclysm of a fire will occur if all the planets are in Cancer. I assume Berossus is just talking about the visible planets and my results seem to point that he...

I had been wondering how you find out where the planets were in very ancient history, and I thought the Astrodienst ephemeris only went back six thousand years. Fleur: Per an email I received from the webmaster at Astrodienst when I misunderstood how to use its ephemeris, the Astrodienst ephemeris ...

Astrological Dating of the Cataclysmic Deluge Graham Hancock states the following about his book, Magicians of the Gods: "The evidence revealed in this book shows beyond reasonable doubt that an advanced civilization that flourished during the Ice Age was destroyed in the global cataclysms between 12,800 and 11,600 years ago."

Hi, Martin. Like I said, no problem. I appreciate your input. I actually did change the word "flood" to "boat" in my translation after reading your feedback. My blog is just my first pass at it. It would definitely need to be gone over several times before I was satisfied with it...

pankajdubey: yes, I have that edition of the Bhagavad Gita and it is really good. I also really like the Laurie L. Patton version, but it has nothing of detail like the Sargent version. Martin: I can see we are going to have to agree to disagree on my Sanskrit abilities and the past translations. Th...

I wrote a paper and a book on this topic. I have done extensive research on the spacial relationship between the exaltation degrees sighted in Hellenistic and East Indian sources. With the results of my research, I have a really hard time with the notion of typographical errors. If one analyzes the relationships between the numbers and quan...
