Jaimini
Sutras
Translated
by B.Suryanayana Rao & revised by B.V.Raman
The
Jaimini sutras, or Upadesha Sutras, by Rishi Jaimini is a unique classic,
rated by many as next only to the Brihat Parashara Hora Sashtra. Jaimini
is also famous for his great treatises
Jaimini Bharata and Poorva Mimansa Shastra. His guru was the great Rishi
Veda Vyasa, who was the son of Rishi Parashara!! Actually several of the
"The Jaimini System" principles were mentioned by Parasara in
his Brihat Parasara Hora Sastra. While Parasara mentioned them briefly,
Jaimini expounded them fully. Hence it is known as the "Jaimini
system of astrology". It is quite a unique predictive system. While
using a lot of basics of the Parashara system, it also employs a different
set of aspects and Karakas and some different type of lagnas. It is very
popular in Andhra Pradesh and with its help many Andhra astrologers can
predict events with remarkable accuracy and speed. I was introduced to the
Jaimini system by the famous astrologer and my relative Mr. K. N. Rao.
When used in combination with the Parashara system it has given me an
extra dimension and remarkably good results.
