| Mar 15, 2018 at 18:07 | comment | added | Narasimham | The chat subject is popular. Belief in astrological influence on life course, life duration and fate will be popularly supported, its belief is rampant in all cultures. In case of Jesus, Buddha astrologers found a possibility of a great soul arriving later on, a stand vindicated later. As for time of birth planned by parents we don't know of C-section births giving rise to brighter children. I knew of some grand parents advice to keep off from spouses ,to avoid unfavorable date and time of birth 280 days hence!. But accuracy is important and so finally all births are randomly timed. | |

| May 1, 2017 at 5:47 | comment | added | user9392 | So I really found(again, no exaggeration) all religions are really true and same.I really amuse at people calling(rather tagging) themselves as Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Jain, et cetera. And as for my following Hinduism-I never believe in it like a fear stricken naive child. I always criticise and question against many concepts in Hinduism, and especially the things against women. I am not an atheist, but sometimes when in some official forms there is a section to fill- "Please write your religion", I put a blank there. (again, no extravagance) | |
| May 1, 2017 at 5:46 | comment | added | user9392 | So I believed t hat yes there is no one-rule sect in Hinduism, and it is very precise. But honestly speaking, I believed that Islam, Christianity, others were stories.But I argued, so I checked for various articles about other religion(I hate this word religion). So I saw that these are also true. And since Islam is the next most familiar to me, so I started looking at it a bit. Not intending any exorbitance, but indeed I started disregarding Hinduism. I really like the concept Allah is just formless, omnipotent. But then I again saw that Islam is also not different that Hinduism. | |
| May 1, 2017 at 5:45 | comment | added | user9392 | @sv. Even I used to asked this question to myself. Actually, I have always looked out for truth- be it in Hinduism, Islam, Christianity, or any others. I was the greatest atheist who condemned all religions, thinking them to be orthodox based superstitions. But I started studying Hindu Scriptures deeply(not very deeply, but without hatred).I had a view that Hinduism is like an orthodox based heretic system, but I found that the scriptures contain more about arguments, philosophies,and speculations that have not been culminated just by some Imagination, they have been really thoroughly studied. | |
| Apr 30, 2017 at 21:21 | comment | added | Say No To Censorship | @AnuragSingh "that in some or the other way the things mentioned in Scriptures turn out to be true" - would you say the same thing (about Hindu scripture) if you're born into a different religion? :) | |
| Apr 30, 2017 at 21:15 | comment | added | user9392 | @sv. Also I have found, reading from various sources, introspection, arguments, that in some or the other way the things mentioned in Scriptures turn out to be true. So there is always an explanation to every question. The only problem is we do not get the proper way to combine various sources to produce the perfect answer for a particular question.You are quiet correct as for time if birth. I personally think that you can take the mean average time, when the birth started and ended. Moreover,2-3 minutes do not matter enough. Even if dasha timings change, it is so minimal, and hence ignorable. | |
| Apr 30, 2017 at 21:07 | comment | added | user9392 | @sv. You are quite right that atheism, doubts and questions are welcome and should be welcomed in Hinduism. If no question is raisen , then Hindu philosophy would turn no less than a Heresy. | |
| Apr 26, 2017 at 22:35 | comment | added | Say No To Censorship | @moonstar2001 See this question as an example: K.S. Bhagavan's critique of Adi Shankara. So all questions from critics, atheists, skeptics etc. are allowed on this forum, although may not be welcome. 'Hinduism need not satisfy any skeptic' - true, but this site doesn't have a monopoly on Hinduism and is not just for followers of Hinduism. | |
| Apr 26, 2017 at 12:22 | comment | added | user1195 | Edit your Q to remove references to the skeptic's dictionary and ask for jyotisha's take. I don't believe compare and contrast is allowed on this SE. Hinduism need not satisfy any skeptic. | |
| Apr 25, 2017 at 8:46 | comment | added | Rakesh Joshi | @KeshavSrinivasan even if not sandhi then too dashas and divisional charts would change... so time is very very vital. | |
| Apr 25, 2017 at 8:39 | comment | added | Keshav Srinivasan♦ | @RakeshJoshi Yeah, Sandhis can be a problem. | |
| Apr 25, 2017 at 8:37 | comment | added | Rakesh Joshi | @KeshavSrinivasan ascendant changes in every 1.5 -2.5 hours. sometimes it in the sandhi of two ascendants. Further, with every degree and kalaa of moon, there is change in the progression of dasha (major and minor periods) even a five -10 minutes difference can cause diffference of months or years in the dasha. Further it has direct impact on the divisional (varga) charts too. | |
| Apr 25, 2017 at 8:25 | comment | added | Keshav Srinivasan♦ | @RakeshJoshi My point applies equally well to Janma Lagna - the calculation of Janma Lagna depends on the which region of the zodiac the Eastern horizon was aligned with at the time of birth, it doesn't depend on which specific point of the zodiac the Eastern horizon was aligned with at the time of birth. | |
| Apr 25, 2017 at 7:38 | comment | added | Rakesh Joshi | @KeshavSrinivasan janma rashi is not much useful. it can be only used for transits and its effects. | |
| Apr 24, 2017 at 20:11 | comment | added | Keshav Srinivasan♦ | @RakeshJoshi I was talking about Janma Rashi. Janma Rashi is based on the moon. | |
| Apr 24, 2017 at 19:55 | comment | added | Rakesh Joshi | @KeshavSrinivasan better to avoid commenting in subjects which you are not familiar with. the moment is very important because the birth chart is not based on position of moon but mainly on the ascendant or "lagna". | |
| Apr 24, 2017 at 19:25 | comment | added | Keshav Srinivasan♦ | @sv. Well, for one thing it allows a person to know his characteristics, course of life, etc. | |
| Apr 24, 2017 at 18:38 | comment | added | Say No To Censorship | "...the gods choose the time of birth" - why do Gods need to 'choose' the time of birth? Why should personality and traits be connected to time of birth? Why can't they be independent? | |
| Apr 24, 2017 at 18:37 | comment | added | Say No To Censorship | "it doesn't matter exactly what moment you consider the moment of birth..." - But I've heard even a difference of single minute changes one's stars. | |
| Apr 24, 2017 at 18:19 | comment | added | Keshav Srinivasan♦ | @ram Well, presumably it would be predetermined that a given person would be born prematurely or have a C-section. | |
| Apr 24, 2017 at 18:09 | comment | added | ram | @KeshavSrinivasan, the janma nakshatram can vary within the duration of child birth. also, does this hold for induced/premature/C-section babies ? | |
| Apr 24, 2017 at 18:07 | comment | added | Keshav Srinivasan♦ | Concerning the second question, the gods choose the time of birth for a given individual according to his personality and other characteristics. | |
| Apr 24, 2017 at 18:05 | comment | added | Keshav Srinivasan♦ | To answer the first question, it doesn't matter exactly what moment you consider the moment of birth, because for instance what matters in the calculation of Janma Rashi is what region in the zodiac (the band of stars surrounding the Sun's path in the sky) the moon is in at the time of birth, not what what specific point in the zodiac the moon is in at the time of birth. Presumably the moon will be in the same region of the zodiac in the moment the baby starts coming out and the moment the baby finishes coming out. | |
