    CONSOLIDATED HELP FILE FOR JAGANATHA JYOTISH (2008)

    This is a compilation of the help file for Jhora software. It is not complete as I didnot include some of the material from the end of the online help file. I also didnot include the help section on the software. Mostly this is to give some people aheads start on Jyotish. Like many people I started with online instruction in themid 1990s and bought a few books. I used a BASIC Jyotish program and then

    took a correspondence course from Dr. David Frawley. Then I started to acquiresoftware and more books.

    There is no independent version of this material outside of the help file which iscopyright P.V.R Narasimha Rao 2003 and is mostly taken from his own book.

    Vedic Astrology: An Integrated ApproachBy P.V.R. Narasimha Rao (author of this software)

    Sagar Publications, 2001

    Please do not publsih this material without the express permission of the above

    author. Pay attention to the booklist. If you cannot get a Jyotish Guru read theclassics and read as many books as you can. There are a great many approachesto this system and if you search the net you can find lost of materials. There arealso a few magazines available from India.

    Excuse my omissions and errors in formatting. I just copied the materialswithout any editing.

    I n t he same char t , Sun may be i n Taurus.

    We can f i nd houses f r om houses and concatenat e the meani ngs i n somepl aces. For exampl e, t he 3r d house shows younger brother . The 2nd

    house f r omt he 3r d house i s t he 4t h house ( count 1, 2 f r om 3r d andget 3r d, 4t h) . So the 4t h house shows t he weal t h, speech et c ofyounger br other . The 7t h house f r omt he 3r d house i s t he 9t h houseand i t can show younger si bl i ng s spouse. The 11t h house f r om l agnashows f r i ends and t he 4t h house f r om l agna i s not hi ng but t he 6t hhouse f r om t he 11t h house. So t he 4t h house st ands f or enemi es,di seases and debt s of f r i ends. I n thi s manner , we can deduce manyaddi t i onal meani ngs of var i ous houses.
