Calculus, Kerala’s gift to the world 

600 years before Newton and Liebniz, the Kerala mathematicians discovered the Calculus, Calculus or Kalana is said to be Kerala’s gift to Europe ! This truth was unearthed by Dr C J Joseph and Dr CK  Raju, in their books, the Crest of the Peacock and the Cultural Foundations of Mathematics respectively !

KSAM was founded by Madhava and had illustrious mathematicians like Parameshwara, Neelakanta, Jyeshtadeva, Achyuta Pisharady and the poet Melpathur. When KSAM is combined with Astrology, it becomes KSAMA, the Kerala School of Astronomy, Maths and Astrology.

In the realm of Astrology, Kerala’s gift was the satellite Gulika. Horary Astrology was well developed by the Kerala astrologers. 

Western astronomers do not admit this truth.  

It was an Englishman, Charles Mathew Whish, who brought to the world the genius of Kerala mathematicians in his book “On the Hindu Quadrature of the Circle and the infinite series of the proportion of the circumference to the diameter exhibited in the four Sastras, the Tantra Sahgraham, Yucti Bhasha, Carana Padhati and Sadratnamala” 

It is to be noted that the origin of sine and cos is India. Jya and Koti Jya were the terms used by the Indian mathematicians. The Arabs converted these terms as Jiba and Kojiba. It was wrongly translated into Latin as Sinus and Cosinus and became Sin and Cosine in English. Bhuja Jya means R Sin, Koti Jya means R Cos and Sparsha Jya means Tan x. The Indian inverse functions are Sparsha chapa for Arctan, Bhuja chapa for Arc Sine and Koti Chapa for Arc cos.  

Aryabhata’s Sine Table was the first Sine Table in the History of Mathematics. The Sine Table of Madhava is similar. When a  360 degree Circle is divided by 4, we get quadrants of 90 degrees each. The Madhava Sine Table can be called the Table of R Sine Differences, as sine values are given for every 3 degree 45 minutes. There are 24 * 3.45 = 90 or 24 R Sines. These tables were used by Christopher Clavius, when he solved the mathematical problem vexing the Westerners ! The Westerners triumphed with the knowledge of Indian Maths and initiated the Gregorian Calendrical Reforms ! 

Tan Tables were also given to mathematical students. The term Jya for 5 degrees was used first by the mathematician, Brahmagupta and we have 6 Jyas of 5 degrees each to constitute a  Zodiacal Sign. The Zodiac is made up of 72 Jyas ( 72*5 = 360 ) and a Quadrant is made up of 18 Jyas ( 18*5 = 90 ). Tan values are given for every 5 degrees but then Tan tables make the mathematical students lazy !

Since there were no computers in hoary times, cowrie shells were used to calculate planetary positions. Paral Sankhya was used. Veda Veda means 44, as there are four Vedas ! Netra Netra means 22, as there are two eyes ! 

The genius of Puliyoor Purushotaman Namboothiri condensed the thousands of slokas of the 18 Siddhantas into 1000 odd slokas, called the Ganitha Nirnaya. It is one of the best books on Mathematical Astrology ever written. He was ably assisted by the Maths Professor, Prof Krishna Warrier.

In the Kerala system, 14 major perturbations of the Moon are highlighted and 14 trignometric corrections are done for the 14 lunar anomalies.

After computing the Chandra Madhyamam, the mean longitude of the Moon, after 14 trignometric corrections, the longitude is called Samskrutha Chandra Madhyamam, Samskruthendu.

Chathur dasebhyebhyo balanyabhibhyo
Neethva Thulasadi Vasa Dhanarnam
Krithva tad Indor Apaneeya Thungam
Thado Mridujya phala Samskruthendu

After the fourteen corrections trignometric, tthe longitude of Moon is derived, known as the Cultured Longitude. 

( Ganitha Nirnaya )


Then the Parinathi Kriya or Parinathi Samskara, Reduction to the Ecliptic is done. Add Sin MTo Cultured LongitudeAfter the fourteen ReductionsDeduct the NodeThen reduce it to EclipticThen we getLuna’s true longitude !

Vikshepa Vritheeya Gatho Vipatha
Thasmannayel Jyam Parinathyabhikhyam
Yugmau pada sarvam idam Vidheyam
Syal Kranti Vritteeya Ehaisha Chandra.

( Ganitha Nirnaya )

A - Science deals with outer life.
      Wisdom deals with inner life.

Q - What is Astrology ?

A - Astrology is the Science of Time.

Q - What is the concept of Time ?

A - The Indian concept of Time stems from the celestial phenomenon of the rotation of the earth round its own axis and movement around the Sun. One constitutes the Celestial Sphere and the other the Ecliptic Sphere.

Q - What is the Western method of computation of planetary longitudes ?

A- The Western method is to find out the Mean Anomaly of the planet, then the true Anomaly and the add to it the Argument of Perihelion to get Theta ( Theta = v + w ). The next step is to reduce it to Cartesian coordinates, x, y and z and then the last step is to reduce it to Spherical coordinates, r, theta and phi.

Q - What is the Indian Method ?

A - The Indian method is to reduce the planet first to the Heliocentric Coordinate System, Manda Kriya, then reduce it to the Ecliptic Coordinate System, Parinathi Kriya and then reduce it to the Geocentric Coordinate System. Sheegra Kriya.

Q - If both methods are different, why some say Indians plagiarised from the Greeks ?

A - Such talk is all rot and nonsense.


Q - What about the dates of the astronomers who computed first ?

A - Parameswara - 15th century Common  Era
      Nilakanta -      16th
      Kepler -            17th
      Laplace -          18th

Q - What is the Hindu Solar Year ?

A - When the Sun enters the First Point of the Sidereal Zodiac, Vishu or the Hindu Solar Year begins. Normally it happens on Apr 14.


Q - How is the date of Easter computed?

A- It is the First Sunday after the Equinoctial Full Moon. The First Thursday after the E F M is Monte Thursday and the First Friday after EFM is Good Friday. 

Q- Is it a coincidence that the Equinoctial Full Moon fell on Vishu Day, on Apr 15th, in 2014?

A - Easter is always proximate to Vishu.

Q - Has Easter anything to do with the Old Pagan Festival of Vernal Equinox?

A - It has.

The Day of Ishtar was celebrated by the Romans centred around the Vernal Equinox. The Old Pagan Festival of Spring Equinox. Ishtar became Easter.

It is to be noted that with the help of Indian Astronomy and Maths, the Western scholars computed the date of Easter, along with loxodromes, latitudes and longitudes,using the sine tables of Aryabhata and Madhava. Christopher Clavius, who initiated the Gregorian Calendrical Reforms, learnt Astronomy and Maths from Pedro Nunes, a Jewish astronomer. Matteo Ricci was sent to India for this purpose !

Q - What is Hindu Lunar Year?

Hindu  Lunar Year is reckoned from Shukla Pratipada, after the Equinoctial New Moon.

Equinox means a day when the day and night are of equal duration. This occurs on Mar 21 and Sep 22, on Spring and Autumnal Equinox days. Normally the diurnal duration and the nocturnal duration are not exactly 12 hours. But on these two days Duration of Day = Duration of Night = 12 hours. Yadha Mesha Thualyo Varthathe thada Ahoratranam Samanani Bhavanti,says Bhagavatha.

Chaitra is the first Lunar Month and Mesha or Medam is the first Solar month.

Chaitra is in other words, the Lunar month, when a solar ingress into Aries or Mesha or Medam takes place. Vishu vakhya ssada Chaitre Jayathe Mesha Sankrama.

Vaishakha is another lunar month which is considered holy, along with Karthika.
Vaishakhe Vrisha Sankranti - Vaishakaha ( starting from Apr 30 ) is the lunar month when a solar ingress into Taurus or Vrishabha takes place.

Karthike Vrischikadhipa - Karthika is that lunar month when a solar ingress into Scorpio or Vrischika takes place.

Karthika is the Hindu Ramazan and like Ramzan, of 41 days duration !

Full Moon means when the Sun is 180 degrees away from the Moon, Pournami.

New Moon means Conjunction of Sun and Moon, Zero Degrees, Amavasya.

Q-  Why is Vishu celebrated on Mesha 2, on Apr 15th, in 2014 ?

A- The Surya Sankrama, Solar ingress into sidereal Aries,  happened at 0830 AM on 14th. And the practice of seeing the Lord or Vishu Kani cannot be effected when the Sun was in Pisces or Meena !
That Vishu brings in climate change, relief from the scorching heat of Kumbha and Meena, Aquarius and Pisces, was proved on Apr 14th  when it rained torrentially in the afternoon and at night !

Q - Whar are the three Hindu  Zero Points of the Zodiac ?

A - The Tropical Zero Point, Zero Degree Aries, Sayana Meshadi

      The Sidereal Zero Point, Zero Degree Sidereal Aries, Nirayana Meshadi

      The Luni Solar Zero Point, Chaitradi

Q - How are these three Hindu Zero Points used in computation ?

A - The Sidereal Solar Year is computed from the Sidereal Zero Point, the Lunar Year from
the Luni Solar Zero Point and the Tropical Solar Year from the Tropical Zero
Point.

Q - Is Astrology related to Astronomy and Mathematics?

A -  Yes it is. It is based on these two sciences.

Q - Why there is calumny against Astrology ?

A -  The base of calumny is ignorance.

Q -  What is the function of Astrology ?

A -   It is a Light in Darkness, Thamaseeya Deepah. It is a science which was revealed to the Seer Poets in higher states of Consciousness.

Q - What is Horary Astrology ?

A -  It is the analysis of the map of the heavens at the time of  query.

Q - What is Electional Astrology ?

A -  It is the analysis of the map of the heavens at the time of  the Event.

Q -  What about Remedial Astrology ?

A  -  Astrology is based on the Grand Law of Causation, the Law of Cause and Effect, the Universal Law of Karma. All sufferings are caused by transgressions of universal laws.  There are two types of Karma. positive and negative. 

Know that which ye sow ye reap ! See yonder fields,
The Sesamum was sesamum, the Corn was corn
The Silence and the Darkness knew
So is a man's Fate born !
 
(Light of Asia) 
For negative Karma, we advocate divine remedial measures like Fasting Therapy, Mantra Therapy, Bhakti Yoga, Jnana Yoga et al. This will save the client both psychologically and spiritually. Thath  Shanti Oushadha Dhyana Japa Homarchanadhibhi. 

Q-   Why is in India Siddhanta, Samhita and Hora ( Astronomy, Maths and Astrology ) inseparable ?

A -   In India, many sciences are inseparable. This is the Law of Epistemic Correlation, that all branches of knowledge are inter related. Astronomy is the Science of the Heavens, Astrology is the Wisdom of the Heavens and Mathematics, the science of magnitude ! 

Q - What is the rationale behind Medical Astrology ?

A- Medical Astrology is that branch of Astrology dealing with Health. The 12 Signs of the Zodiac are linked to the Twelve Limbs of the body. The Ascendant rules the Head and the 12th House, the Feet. Medical Astrology, if incorporated in Astrology Software, can be of immense help in relieving patients' of their misery.


Q - Is Astrology a sister science to Ayurveda ?

A - Yes. Since the Zodiacal Signs represent the Five Elements ( Ether , Fire, Air, Earth & Water ), the ancient astrological savants assigned everything in the Universe to a planetary ruler, and considered all as the manifestation of the Elemental Five and their respective qualities - hot and dry, cold and dry, hot and humid , cold and humid. Jupiter rules "Kapha" and the Sun "Pitta' ( the three humors of Ayurveda ). These elements were understood in a physical & metaphysical sense, as per the principle " As Above, So Below ". Many body constitutions are defined in Ayurveda. The Phlegmatic ( predominance of Kapha), the Bilious ( preponderance of Pitta ) & the Windy ( predominance of Vata ). There are 4 types of Body Constitution in Western Holistic Medicine - Sanguine, Phlegmatic, Choleric and Melancholic. Medical Astrology here becomes Ayurvedic Astrology, analysing the human body made of Vata, Pitta and Kapha and the seven gross tissue elements, all ruled by the Nine Revolving Heavens.


Q - Are the Seven Planets related to the Three Humours of Ayurveda ?

A - Yes. Here is the correspondence.
 
Jupiter	Kapha
Sun	Pita
Moon	Vata & Kapha
Mars
Pitta
Mercury	Pitta, Vata & Kapha
Venus	Vata & Kapha
Saturn	Vata

Q - What is the intuitively revealed Original Verse or Pramana about this correspondence between the Triune Humours and the Seven Revolving Heavens?

Vatham Pittayutham Karothi Dinakrith
Vatm Kapham Sheetagu
Pittam Bhoomi Sutha, Tadha Sasisutha
Vatam cha Pittam Kapham
Jeevau Vata Kaphau  Sithaanila Kaphau
Vatam cha Pittam Shanee
Poorne Indu sthithi rasi natha Kathitham
Poornam Kapham Thoyabhe.

•                                                     A haven for Bridal Mystics,  Guruvayur is known for its legends and its ability to generate blissful experiences. This is where the great poet Melpathur wrote a Treatise on the Lord ( the Narayaneeyam ). Guruvayur was also adorned by the Poet Laureate, Poontanam, who composed  the Jnanapana, a great poem in Malayalam. 
  The Condensed Absolut Being, Absolute Knowledge, Absolute Bliss is the Lord, who sports in the garden of the Upanishads !His Destructive Form as Time Eternal, as the Zodiac, was defined by the poet thus  
• 
• In ignorance I have defined Thy Glory 
  Forgive this transgression of mine !
  I defined the Indefinable
  I spoke about the Ineffable
• Devotion impelled, I described,
  The Indescribable Thee !
  The Limitless &     Indefinable,
  Forgive my mistakes, O Great One !
• Earlier,    the master epic Poet, Vyasa,
  Had commited mistakes same,
  As the Absolute Being transcends,
  Our  spatio-temporal language ! 

• https://www.youtube.com/embed/kMNLTlRJw20
  I have spoken about Thy Plays,
  In Narayaneeyam, Ode to Thee ,
  Hearing Thy Plays are enough,
  For Self Realisation divine !

       ( Ajnathva The Mahatvam yadi ha nigadhitham Vishwanatha kshamedha ………..)  

• Thy Captivating Form
  Which Thou revealed to me
  That Form is more lovable
  Than even Thy Form Unmanifest !   
• ( Avyaktam The Swaroopam……   ) 

• Another poet beloved to the Lord was Jayadeva. His Ashtapadi, 24* 8 lines, starts with a Hymn to the Ten Incarnations, which is given in the video above ( Dasavatara). It is said that Ashtapadi was written partly by Jayadeva and partly by the Lord Himself !

                                     Astronomical Computation of the Age of the Vedas 

           
How old is the Vedic Civilization?

Also known as Prajapati, the Mriga Sira constellation is the base for the computation for the Astro Dating of Vedic Age by Bal Gangadhar Tilak in his magnum opus, Orion, the Arctic Home in the Vedas.

The Head of Orion or Mriga is Mriga Sira, the constellation of Makeeyam, Lambda Orionis ! The Vedas mention that the Vernal Equinox was in Orion or Mriga Sira ! The Vernal Equinox was in Zero degree Aries in 286 CE. The Vernal Equinoctial Point is at 6 degree Pisces now. The Precession of the Equinoxes is 72 years per degree.

What is the Precession of the Equinoxes ?

The wobble of the Earth around its Axis. Also known as Axial Precession. The occurrence of Equinoxes becomes earlier in sidereal year, due to the retrograding or precessing motion of Equinocital Points along the Earth’s Path or Ecliptic.  

The Vernal Equinoctial Point precedes, retrogrades or moves backward one degree in every 72 years.How do we know that the VEP is in 6 deg Pisces now?
Astro Software computes Ayanamsa for 2015 at 24 degrees. Hence VEP has traversed 24 degrees and is in 6 deg Pisces. ( The degrees traversed backwards from the Zero Point, Zero Degree Aries is called Ayanamsa and the Ayanamsa on 01/09/2015 is

24 DEG 3 MIN 22 SEC )
Who gave the value 72 years per degree for Equinoctial Retrogression ?
Cheiro or Count Louis Hamon.

How can we know when the VEP was in Orion or Mriga Sira, now that it is in 6 deg Pisces ?  

It can be calculated like this.

The angular distance from Zero Point, Zero Degree Aries to the 53.33 deg of Orion or Mriga = 53.33 deg

Degrees traversed in Pisces = 30 –  6 = 24

So total degrees traversed 53.33 + 24 = 77.33 degrees.

So 77.33 * 72 = 5567 years old is the Vedic Civilization !

( Mriga Sira starts from 53.33 degrees in the Zodiac ).
