WHY? Sun and Moon...??
This may be too simple for many of the experienced members, so please hold back your comments and let those that are younger and fresher to Jyotish share first, maybe until June 6, 2014? Then the experienced brigade can charge in and enlighten everyone! Somewhat experienced folks = (somewhat arbitrarily > 3 years of regularly practising jyotish and reading charts etc. for free or paid; and please let us not try to distract the thread by beginning to waste time in criticising this arbitrarily selected definition of experienced?)
What could be the technical reasons (not philosophical, nor mythological etc!) for separating the lights: Sun and Moon from the remaining five planets in solar system (please ignore rahu and ketu for this one!)
Why does Sun represent the father and Moon the mother? Please remember to stay technical!
Thank you in advance for your cooperation and participation,
Rohiniranjan
(For beginners and those with 3 or less years of practicing experience in jyotish have the thread all to themselves until 6th of June, 2014, and beyond too, of course like all others. Please don't be shy :-))
