Respected Pandit ji,

I am a late joinee to the course....  Please forgive me for the delayed reply....

Q1: What is the goal or aim of your life?

To be an ideal person in my relative sorroundings as well as in the small part of a world in which I live....  ( I mean like this... You know Krishna is a learned person, who is a hard worker, because of his hard worker he has attained a good respectable position.... In a nutshell... Like an example to others).  Also try to make attempts and help the persons who are facing the problems by providing an appropriate remedies (which can they afford to do in their small part of the world).

Q2: What is your motivation for wanting to learn Astrology and in particular Jyotish?

Jyothish / Astrology is a ocean...  I want me to be like a crocodile in the ocean... (which is not possible in fact) so as to help the needy person and solve their typical problems.

Q3: What are your experience with Astrology and Astrologers?

Firstly, I believe God.... Then Jyothish/Astrology...  

According to me Jyothish/Astrology is the one which got founded after the vedas...  

As I understood frommy elders that a learned astrologer / jyothish can predict or give the entire reading of a particular person.... Sayings of my elderes went upto my heart and therefore, as far as my knowledge concern, an astrologer / jyothish is a person who can accurately predict or give an accurate reading of another person entire life...  And they do not care for material things like money etc...

I am really feel sorry to say this in this forum,  If an astrologer who is not able to predict or give his reading for the entire life of another person is not an astrologer or jyothish at all...  He or she is putting make up and acting like a film acter or actress in the world...

Till now I have not found an astorloger who possess that much quality... You learned persons may possess that great quality.... I mean exceptions are there as the world is too big and we are living in a small part in the world.

Q4: What are the Vedas?

According to me Vedas is formed by Rishi's....

There are 4 types of Vedas... a) Rukh Vedha b) Yajhur Vedha c) Saama Vedha & 4) Adharvana Vedha....

As for as my knowledge concern, Rukh Vedha is having some speciality...  I can quote an example for this...  In the Aavani Avittam, ( I don't know how many persons can understand Aavani Avittam - But I will explain it in the conclussion of message)  Guru use to say that Yajhur vedha person required to do some homam by putting saamithi's etc in the homam.  In a net shell creating and worshipping with the fire...  But for a person who born on the Rukh Vedha tradition is not required to perform any homam in Avani Avittam.... Reason: According to the vedic Maha Purush, Rukh Vedic persons are having Agni in their hands itself so they are exempted to do homam for Aavani Avittam.

Last but not least.... Aavani Avittam is a spritual day for Brahmins on which they change their old Poonuls with the new one by chanting so many mantras and homam.

I request your honour to please forgive me if I have mentioned anything wrong...  Also please correct me with the reasons so that I can educate myself further...


Regards

Krishna

Namashkaar Krishnakumarji,

Its wonderful to know that your honest replies would lead to deeper studies in Jyotish.
Do not be like a tree with straying branches.  With some persistence give those branches direction.

Good luck,

Pranaaam!

I am also a late starter in this forum, but better than never . First of all a BIG thank you for both of you for organising this kind of platform, which is not only gives an opportunity to learn this great art of prediction, but also gives us an opportunity to spread among those who are inclined towards it.
No coming to the questions, I feel

What is the goal or aim of your life?

To reach supreme lord, Lord Krishna. However, there are some temporoy goals in life, which are very mundane and do not count much. The foremost goal is to get out of this cycle of births and deaths.

What is your motivation for wanting to learn Astrology and in particular Jyotish?

I always wished to read my own chart and also help others in thier difficulties in life.  

What are your experience with Astrology and Astrologers?

Generally very good. But I dont want to pesture any of them anymore. And this is the reason why i want to learn it myself.

What are the Vedas?

Om tad visno param padam. The vedas have a single aim that is to reach the lotus feet of Lord Visnu, all the beutiful, all merciful, all intelligent and the one without a second.

Thank you and may that peace rest in all living and nonliving creatures
