The system of calculations and computations
for Peyar Raasi are different. If a person uses the same
set of rules as those of normal predictive natal astrology,
then things can go wrong.
For instance, there is a branch of astrology that
is known as Prasna Marga. This is calculated according
to the time and direction of the questioner. It resembles
natal astrology(normal run- of-the-day astrology).
But the similarity stops there. You have to use different
formulae for this.
The astrologers who advise big politicians happen
to know this. They are able to give very specific directives
for specific questions.
But the astrologer has to be very tactful.
In around 400B.C. , the Persian Empire stretched
between the Indus River and Anatolia(modern Turkey).
Xerxes, the Persian Emperor wanted to cross over to Europe
and destroy the Greeks.
He did cross the Hellespont and went into Macedonia
and several Greek states. The Greeks decided to wage war
on two fronts. One on land and one on the sea. Xerxes
was winning. He wanted to finish off the Greeks at sea.
The Greeks were out-numbered many times over. He sent
a very large naval force.
On the eve of the naval battle, Xerxes asked his
royal astrologer what will the out-come of the battle be.
The wise astrologer answered, "To-day, O King, Great King,
King of Kings, will see a great empire fall."
Xerxes thought that it meant the Greek Confederation.
The Greek admiral arrayed his three hundred ships
within the Straits of Salamis. The Persian ships in thousands
started pouring in .
Xerxes ordered the royal canopy to be erected on
top of cliff overlooking the Straits of Salamis. He wanted
to have a grand-stand view and witness the final destrucion
of the Greeks.
But there was a freak storm and the Persian ships
which were close to each other were dashed against each
other. In addition, the Greek admiral who knew every nook
and cove of Salamis attacked skillfully.
Almost all the Persian ships were destroyed in front
of Xerxes's eyes. On land, Xerxes lost a further 80,000 men.
Xerxes was hotly pursued and barely managed to cross over
to Turkey in tattered clothes.
A few years later, his successor Darius was killed
by Alexander the Great. The Persian Empire ceased to exist-
at least for the time being.
Two more interesting episodes regarding this.
Oh My! Really a lot of stories here!
The next section will be answered after lunch.
