It's important to read through the following message carefully before subscribing. There are a few basic rules that must be adhered to. It will be assumed that all who join are aware of them. Those unable to follow these rules should not join.

The intention of this group is to promote the discussion of Vedic astrology as taught by the great sage Maharishi Parashara.

The distinction between Parashara and Jaimini systems is not always clear as often the two very different techniques of prediction are ill-defined...resulting in many contradictions. In the simplest terms; Jaimini method uses rasi dasas, rasi aspects and chara karakas, whereas Parashara is based on graha (vimsottari) dasa, graha aspects and constant (or natural) karakas.

Prof. P. S. Sastri, author of Jaimini Sutram (English translation), tells us that it's clear from a comparison of the principles outlined, that much of Jaimini system has been inserted into Parashara text, and, if the student is not careful, he will mix up the two systems and find himself in contradictions and confusions.

Members who wish to discuss their own chart should be aware that, although guidance in understanding the principles of Parashara Jyotish (as applied to their chart) is freely given whenever possible, personal readings should be sought privately from a professional astrologer.
