Prof. KSK usd to tll him to go through litraturs of Varaha Mihira, Kalyana Varma, Shri Vaidyanathan (Jataka Parijatham) and Parasara bfor studying his books. H was also advisd by KSK not to practic KP Astrology whn it was tim for Sri Vnkataraman to mov out of Chnnai. H obyd his ordrs and did not practic it narly for two dcads. During this priod h was still associatd with KSK whnvr h was in Chnnai. From 1972 to 1990 h was practicing only Vdic Astrology. Th turnaround to cam in 1991 whn for a qustion on child birth was posd to him and th horoscop could not b producd by th prsons who cam for consultation h rsortd to Horary Astrology using principls nunciatd by Prof. KSK. Th prdictions wr corrct to th last point. At this point of tim Sri Vnkataraman hard about Shri Vaidyanathan and startd larning Jama Graha Aruda somwhr in 1992 or 1993. Sinc thn h is following th sam whn vr consultations ar don to prsons who mt him in prson and follows KP Astrology for mail quris. Aftr publishing th first part of th 7 lssons from th book writtn by Sri Vaidya Nathan, Mr. Vnkataraman Subramanian contactd us and informd us that h was a studnt of Sri Vaidyanathan. Sinc h has studid undr th author of th book, h must hav bn wll informd and might also hav som mor finr tchniqus which h might hav larnd from his Guru.

Also w hav bn giving th North Indian Chart format also in all th lssons. But Sri Vaidhyanathan has th following to say on this point: In th first svn lssons w hav adoptd North Indian chart as wll. Actually I hav alrady statd in my first mail that th North Indian charts cannot b followd as th plants ar ntrd insid th chart and outsid th chart. This diffrnc is actually ncssary and distinguish this systm from othr systms of prashna. Th outr plants alon hav bn usd by prsnt day followrs of this systm and th rsults ar prfct no doubt. But Shri Vaidhyanathan was not in favour of this argumnt. H wantd to us both transit of plants and outr plants. Also a tabl is givn at th nd of th commnts which will b usful in fixing th Tamil dats from th English dats which ar currntly in us. Commnts of Sri Vnkataraman Subramnian x studnt of Sri Vaidhya Nathan SAMAKKOL ARUDAM LESSON NO 3 Dtrmination Of Udayam Diffrnt Mthod Th Lsson 3 of Samakkol Arudam writtn by Shri Vaidhyanathan confirms with th provisions of Jinndramala. Th following mthod is also in vogu in South Tamil Nadu. Lt m xplain th mthod clarly. For undrstanding this mthod of dtrmining th Udayam, th following tabl is ssntial.

W now calculat Udayam
Suppos w ar givn th following data for which w ar to dtrmin th Udayam. Chiththarai Month 10 th day Friday at 10:24 AM. This tim w tak as Aruda tim. From Dhuruva Numbr tabl, for th tnth day w hav th figur as 42. From th rquird tim (10:24) th hour is rmovd and tak th minut. Th minut hr is lss than th dhuruva numbr. Th rul is givn hrundr: 1. If dhuruva numbr is ithr qual to or mor than th minut column of Aruda tim, dduct 5 from th hours of Aruda tim. Hr aruda tim minuts is 24 but dhuruva numbr is 42. So 5 is dductd from th hour namly 10. Th rsult is 5. This rsultant figur may b trmd as Rasi Numbr. Hr th month for which w ar dtrmining Udayam falls in Chiththarai. It dnots Msha or Aris. From this sign find th 5 th sign. Hr it is Lo and Lo will b Udayam 2. Suppos, dhuruva numbr is lss than th minut of th aruda tim, dduct 4 from th hour of aruda tim. Slct th Rasi Numbr. W shall now tak th xampl providd by Shri Vaidyanathan in his book. August 6 Friday at 11 AM In tamil month it is 22 nd of Ashada month. Now w calculat Dhuruva numbr and Rasi Numbr for th tim as pr this altrnat mthod. Th Dhuruva numbr for 22 is 18. Th rul numbr 1 is applicabl hr as th minut of th Aruda tim(11.00) is lssr than dhuruva numbr (18) and hnc th Rasi numbr will b 5. Th rasi numbr(5) is dductd from th hour (11)of aruda tim. Th rsultant figur is 6. Now sun during Ashada month
will b transiting in Cancr. From Cancr sign, this figur of 6 is addd to gt th Udayam in Sagittarius sign. This xampl in Lsson 3 also shows Sagittarius or Dhanur sign. Surya Vdhi But I hav found th following practic by som of th followrs of Samakkol Arudam: Surya Vdi consists of Lo to Capricorn clock-wis. Chandra Vdi consists of Aquarius to Cancr If Udayam occurs in this surya Vdi, it is trmd suba udayam If Arudam occurs in this chandra vdi, it is trmd suba Arudam If Udayam occurs in Chandra vdi thn it is trmd asuba Udayam If Arudam occurs in Surya Vdi thn it is trmd asuba Arudam If both Udayam and Arudam falls undr suba catgory, th answr will b subam If both Udayam and Arudam falls undr asuba catgory, th answr will also b asubam Not: Th abov rul is subjctd to th condtion that thr ar no plants in both Udayam and Arudam TABLE FOR FINDING TAMIL CALENDER (START DATE) FROM ENGLISH CALENDER Month(Tamil ) ---> 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 Month (English) --> A B C D E F G H I J K L Yar 2013-2014 14 15 15 17 17 17 18 17 16 14 13 15 2014-2015 14 15 15 17 17 17 18 17 16 15 13 15 2015-2016 14 15 16 17 18 18 18 17 17 15 13 14
