Introduction To "Jaimini Light" Horoscope
Software-
Although
Jaimini system of Astrology is generally considered to be
an offshoot of Traditional Parasari system, in fact it is
a part and parcel of ancient Indian Astrology. There are
certain delicate niceties, which make the system so
unique. In many cases, it will be found that sage Jaimini
had dispensed with cumbersome calculations, and instead
had offered some simple yet very useful methods. In this
system, the signs are given relatively more importance,
and the 'aspects' are considered of signs - not of planets
(which happens in traditional Parasari system). The
Dasha-systems are also distinctly different; in most
cases*, those are not of planets - but of signs; those are
not at all dependent on the longitude of the Moon, and
there is no question of finding the Balance of Dasha at
birth; the durations of all the Dashas - including that of
the commencing one - are always in terms of a number of
full years.
(*
However, there are certain exceptions in case of a few
Jaimini Dasha-systems like Karaka Dashas - Atma-Karaka
Dasha and Upa-Karaka Graha Dasha - the Dashas are of Signs
and Planets combined. Besides, in these cases, only those
signs which are occupied by planets will appear in the
list of Dashas; the remaining signs will not have their
Dasha-periods.)
In
Northern and Central parts of our country (India), the
Jaimini system of Astrology could not become at all
popular; here people seem to be overly obsessed with
Vimshottari Dasha, which is - probably without any
justification - considered to be Parashari. It is the
opinion of many learned Astrologers that the authenticity
of Brihat Parasara Hora Shastra is considered suspect.
Even the great authors of relatively recent origin (in
comparison to sage Parasara) like Varaha Mihira (of Brihat
Jataka), his illustrious son Prithu Yasha (of Hora Sara),
king Kalyan Varma (of Saravali), etc Astrologers of great
standing did not mention anything about Vimshottari Dasha
in their books. It was mentioned only by Mantreswara (of
Phala Deepika) of South India, and is also found in
certain other work of Yavana origin (in Chandra Bharana
Jataka). For finding the nature of events, and more
particularly for finding the timing of events, more often
than not, the much over-used Vimshottari Dasha system
offers very unreliable results.
However,
Jaimini system has been quite popular in South India -
particularly in Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka. A number of
learned persons in Jaimini Astrology have hailed from
these states. In the Eastern part of our country, in
states like West-Bengal, Assam, Orissa, etc there are some
learned Astrologers, who offer their predictions by fully
depending on Jaimini system; and, the accuracy they are
capable of arriving at is really very amazing. They do not
use it simply as an alternate or auxiliary system; in
fact, for offering astrological predictions, they do not
at all need any assistance from Vimshottari Dasha, or any
other Parashari Dasha.
The
divisions (Bhuktis) and sub-divisions (Antaras) of Jaimini
Dashas has been traditionally being done by many students
and learners by following Neelkanta's recommendation; and
this supposed 'only' (!) method being invariably and
indiscrimately applied to all the Jaimini Dasha-systems is
probably the very first blocking stone wall - which the
students and learners generally come across, and
presumably never become able to cross. But from decades of
practical experience it has been clearly established that
this method deserves to be summarily discarded. Regardless
of the duration of any Jaimini Dasha, the duration of a
Bhukti in any Jaimini Dasha will be of 1 year only -
beginning from one birthday to the next; as such, in a
Dasha - in most cases - all the signs won't appear as
Bhuktis. However, in any Bhukti, there will be 12 Antaras
of equal duration - of 1 month each. If the divisions and
the sub-divisions are done by following this method, then
finding the nature of events - and also the timing of
events - will never appear to be a difficult task at all.
It
is a good thing to note that the general interest of the
Astrology students and learners in Jaimini system has been
increasing ever since in recent years. Although a number
of translated versions of "Jaimini Sutra" are
available in the market, none of those provide dependable
information about how to use the various Dasha systems in
an effective manner for the purpose of finding the
narrow-range timings of major and significant (favorable
or otherwise) events in life. A few authors have published
some books recently - on some Dashas like Chara Dasha,
Mandooka Dasha, etc. But study of these books leave the
readers no wiser; since the authors seem to have no real
experience of utilizing these Dasha systems for predictive
purposes; while some of them, owing to their lack of
maturity, have been swayed away by their over-enthusiasm,
there are yet some others - who have always been making
deceitful tall claims quite deliberately. Any method for
finding narrow-range timing of events has not been
mentioned in any of these books anywhere - particularly in
those written by the cunning pretentious authors of the
later category.
A
good part of Jaimini Astrology is devoted to Calculation
of Longevity. But since an Astrologer as a rule must have
some moral responsibility, and probably in this regard
there are some legal restrictions also. So, we did not go
for longevity calculation and preferred to remain silent
about it. It is everybody's common knowledge that all the
people do not-, and cannot-, have the same or similar
duration as longevity, and reactions of the individuals to
this particular question vary from person to person.
Besides, there are also some possibilities that a
particular person might become interested to know about
the longevity duration of some other person (who may even
be of one of his/ her close relative) for some dishonest
or selfish intention. It is thus always desirable to avoid
this question altogether, and antagonize none - in order
to remain on the safer side.
A
software essentially based on Jaimini principles - which
lays special emphasis on predictive aspects covering the
various favorable and otherwise events and happenings of
life - had been in demand since long. (To the best of our
knowledge and belief, any such software has not been
developed by anybody else anywhere in the world so far).
We have therefore tried our level best for putting in as
many sets of varying combinations as possible - so that in
certain particular respects, sensible predictions could be
obtained. In our corresponding conclusions, as a rule, we
have invariably mentioned the relevant combinations -
against which the predictions are being obtained. This is
expected to help the Astrology students and learners to
gain a quite clear understanding of the Jaimini principles
involved for predictive purposes in a gradual and
systematic manner; their own predictive ability is also
very much likely to be considerably improved; besides, it
is also expected to improve their memory.
We
earnestly look forward to receiving proper feedback. Thus,
we crave the indulgence of the users for letting us be
informed about their valuable opinions in respect of it's
contents, layout and/ or the style of representation. We
have tried our level best so that the work may become
totally free from any error - computational or otherwise;
but if some errors are still creeping in, and if those are
reported to us upon being detected, then we shall arrange
to get the error(s) rectified at the earliest. We are also
inviting open-minded suggestions for incorporating some
addition(s), alteration(s), modification(s), etc - so that
those might be incorporated in our forthcoming possible
future version(s). Any kind of constructive criticism will
also be very welcome. The communications we would receive
in any of these respects will surely be promptly
acknowledged with gratitude and thanks.
We
would surely consider ourselves amply rewarded if our
efforts could be found to be of use it had really been
intended for - that is, if (and only if) the actual users
can become adequately benefited. Complying with the
request of some general users, in this version of the
software, the observed Astrological combinations have been
mentioned separately - followed by the corresponding
predictions given in plain 'non-technical' words - so that
the things would be much easier to understand even to the
uninitiated beginners.
Design
Set-Up For "Jaimini Light" Horoscope Software
This
is an unique Predictive Astrology software - fully based
on the Principles of the great sage Jaimini. In it's each
and every step, only after checking through a series of
conditions, and also checking for the presence of
contra-indications (if any), this program offers
surprisingly realistic predictions in a very efficient
manner - what most of the self-proclaimed persons claiming
to be "Astrologers" (!) in fact cannot. A great
bulk of calculations and information are obtainable within
a few seconds only.
This
software is capable of predicting the precise nature of
various kinds of possible events and happenings - together
with the indications for expected timings (the unit of
time is 1 month only!). It is not only an invaluable guide
for Astrology students and general learners, it can also
prove to be an indispensable tool for many educated and
experienced Astrology practitioners, and those who have
been conducting serious researches in this sacred field.
This
software program is capable of accurately casting
horoscopes for most of the places in the world – it does
not matter whether the Longitude is “East” or
“West”, and it covers the Latitude “North” and
“South” both (up to 60* N, and up to 60* S
respectively). The Longitude and Latitude values for more
than 1, 50, 000 places of the world – together with the
respective “Time Zone” figures (or differences from
GMT) have been provided. Besides, the provision has also
been kept so that the user can include the Longitude,
Latitude, and Time Zone figures for any other place of
his/ her choice – supposing that the particular place
has not been covered in value of precession of
equinoxes) – according to the users’ own choice.
For
an average person, it would yield about 500 to 550 pages
of printouts: Various Astrological Charts and Lists of
Various Jaimini Dashas, etc (nearly 50 pages), the
Bhuktis-Antaras Lists of Various Jaimini Dasha-systems
(about 250 pages), and predictions from various sources
(about 215 to 235 pages) - fully covering the various
favorable and otherwise events and happenings of life,
together with their possible timing of events. Provisions
have been kept for taking the printouts of- only selected
topics, or all the pages either - according to the
users’ own choice.
