Introduction

============

Chandra-Hari is an Indian Astrologer (job !"#C $ngineer%&

and is a true researcher on the ancient Indian astrology

and

astronomy' his article tries to )resent the core ideas of

Hari in acom)rehensible way'

He has written * boo+s on Ayanamsa' ,% A small boo+ in

$nglish with the name rue Ayanamsa )ublished around

idea originated' 0% A Boo+ named 1asicha+ram in

his article )resents the 4iews of Chandra-Hari as gi4en in

his boo+ 1asi-Cha+ram' I ha4e tried my le4el best to

com)ile his

ideas in a systematic manner& +ee)ing the continuity of

themathematical conce)t and the thought )rocess in4ol4ed'

he

mathematical )ortion of the ideas introduced by Chandra-

Hari about

the ayanamsa inherent in Surya-sidhantha and his ideas

about the 1asi-

cha+ra di4ision is de)icted' In his boo+ (named 1asi-

Cha+ram% Hari)ro)oses that 5ero Ayanamsa ear is A'0*9 and that his

ayanamsa is

more than that of ?ahari by /3 min' ?et us try to

understand how he

arri4ed at these results'

re4olution of the nodal )oints 1ahu and Si+hi' hus 1a-Si

these nodes isin rhythm with the mo4ement of eDuinoE& if we consider

Basic 1ationale /

------------------

(i% 5odiac is considered and )resented as a mathematical

model in old-suryasidhantha& trying to com)rehend the)erfect rhythm

of the uni4erse'

(ii% $4en though the creator of Surya-sidhantha (i'e'

2ayan%&

+new about the actual 4ernal eDuinoE at 8ali-yugadi (i'e'

/3 deg /6

min%& 8ali-yugadi-Ayanamsa was considered as 36 deg (in

old-Suryasidhantha%& for the )erfection of this mathematical

model'

According to the )recession considered in old-

suryasidhantha -

7recessional Cycle = 0,366 years (instead of 0:;:9 years%

If we relate this to yuga years -

/*0666 (8ali-yuga% = 0,366 E 06/&*06&666 (2aha-yuga% = 0,366 E 066

2aha-yuga = 066 E *36 deg = ;0666 years

,06 deg )recession = /*06666


10/17

2ercury = ,;.*;666


11/17

necessitates 36 deg )recession for 8ali-yuga' If you

com)are with the

actual data& you may feel that it is an error' But in reality

it is

)recious mathematical model' he 7recessional Cycle is a2athematical

model )ut forward by the creator of Surya-sidhantha'

Nhat was the

need of such a modelP It was to relate the yugadi mesha-

san+ranthi

with the new moon day that all these mathematical

eEercise was done'

F!r& was it to incor)orate the number 0,3666 (i'e'*36 E36%P he

im)ortance of this number is that 7rana (one human

breath% means /

seconds' According to yoga and u)anishads one day of a

human body

means 0,366 )rana = *36 deg E 36 = 0,366 min of odiacG

or this& the

mesha-san+ranthi at the beginning of yuga& wasconsidered to ha))en&

. days and *; nadis before (. deg *; min%' or that only

nirayana

year with length *3:'0:9;: was chosen' It was not

because that he

doesnt +now the actual nirayana year length' he actual

)recession

according to Surya sidhantha was :6 sec'FHow can we +now that the year length used in Surya-

sidhantha is

*3:'0:9;: daysP According to !ld-Suryasidhantha -

he A4erage "umber of days in a 2aha-uga =

bombarded with the conce)ts such as 2oola and 1hythm

of the uni4erse

(music of the stars or biological cloc+ - what e4er you

name it%&

some other stri+ing similarities came to his mind' SomeeEam)les

would be -

(i% 2oola is the base of odiac di4ision - 2ooladhara is the

base

)oint from where yoga starts'

(ii% Horosco)e is also called 8undalini - In yoga also

8undalini

(ser)ent )ower% is im)ortant'(iii% 1ahu-Si+hi (Ser)ents - 8alasar)a% is the underlying

factor of

1asicha+ra - 8undalini in yoga is also symbolied as

ser)ent'

(i4% 8ala)urusha is a conce)t in astrology - San+hya and

oga also

s)ea+ about )urusha'

(4% he uni4erse is 1hythmic - he human body is also inrhythm

with uni4erse' Fhis needs further clari@cation' 7rana

means /

seconds' According to yoga and u)anishads one day of a

human body

means 0,366 )rana' *36 deg E 36 = 0,366 min of odiac'

Also consider

the abo4e said im)ortance of the number ;,'::GAll these similarities )rom)t him to di4e dee) into

conce)ts

such as anthra

Conclusion

-----------

In the 4iew of Chandra-Hari -

(i% he yuga conce)t is nothing but a dee)-seated theoryon

ayanamsa' hat is why it was gi4en this much im)ortance

by !ld-Surya-

sidhantha (By 2ayan& Included in 7ancha-sidhanti+a by

Varaha-2ihira%&

"ew-Surya-sidhantha (By Aryabhatta I%& the $)ics and

7uranas'

(ii% 1asi-cha+ram (5odiac% is a mathematical model& )utforward by

1ishis& which )ostulates the eEistence of a Sidereal

("irayana% 5ero-

)oint (2eshadi or Aswinyadi%& as well as the conjunction of

9 )lanets

at this ero-)oint in the beginning of e4ery yuga'

(iii% he Sayana-"irayana di4ision is dee) seated in Hindu

mythology and the Vedas gi4es am)le )roof of this' Boththe Sayana

and "irayana systems eEisted in Vedic )eriod' (2ayan the

creator of

Surya-sidhantha was only a genius com)iler of the then

)re4ailing

+nowledge%

At the end& let me mention one more )oint as well (ta+en

formthe boo+ 1asicha+ram%' In the @rst hymn of )urusha-

su+tha&

i'e'& sahasra seersha )urusha sahasra+sha sahasra )ath&

sa bboomim

4iswatho 4rith4a adhyadhishtath desangulam& a man with


15/17

,666 heads

and ,666 eyes and ,666 legs is mentioned' But really& as

e4erybody

+nows& ,666 heads needs 0666 eyes and 0666 legs' i'e'&

the meaning ofthe word Sahasra = ,666& does not @t well' (Ne may

esca)e the

confusion by saying that Sahasra means Rmany%' But

based on

satha)atha brahmana& 81 8rishnamoorthi says that&

Sahasra

means R#reat circle that di4ides a glob into two eDual

)arts' hisis note worthy' hen suddenly we become aware that

many astronomical

terms are used in the hymn' he following )icture clari@es

this

)oint' "ow we could see that-

Seersha Circle (Sahasra seersha )urusha% = 7rime

meridian

A+sha Circle (Sahasra+sha% = Celestrial $Duator (also+nown

as "a+shathra 4ritha in sans+rit%

7atha Circle (Sahasra)ath% = "odal Circle (also +nown as

Vi+she)a 4ritha in sans+rit%

Bhoomi Circle (Sa-Bhoomim% = Horion (also +nown as

Harijem

in sans+rit%

Viswa Circle (Viswatho 4rith4a% = $cli)tic (also +nown asA)amandala 4ritha in sans+rit%

"ow& if this inter)retation by Hari is right& we gets am)le

)roof for the fact that& Vedic 8nowledge is really amaing'

"ote - Hari is a genuine genius& who argues 4igorously


16/17

about the

conce)ts he belie4es in& and his language is rude' (hose

who read-

his-boo+ < s)ea+-with-him& can understand my )oint% His

ideas arestunning and ca)ture our attention' Ne should admit his

true

dedication towards astrological research' Ne are all

searching for

the truth of astrology& and are trying to be sincere as

much as

)ossible' I am not trying to become an ad4ocate of

Chandra-Hari'Nhile )redicting using the Vimsothari desa system& I also

feel (As

#uru Sanjay att )ointed out% that& at times ?ahari-

Ayanamsa is

better than Chandra-Haris to arri4e at correct results' But

still& I

feel )assionate towards his mathematical conce)ts& and

somewherethere in the )ath& the truth and the trustworthiness of the

true

ayanamsa hides'

o you want to contact Chandra-HariP Jse this email

But be at your own ris+ Beware of what I said about his

language'
