Revered @SriSri ji, why are you jumping in waters where you can't swim? Kanyadan is not a malpractice which should be done away with, and you are not an authority on this topic to be obeyed or followed.
A Kanya is not at all given as an object in Kanyadan. This understanding is totally wrong in the first place. Kanyadan is a very pious term. Treat this word with respect.
You're correct.
There's absolutely no point in debating or engaging with people who don't understand the term Kanyadan. There's no point in engaging with people who cast doubt on this Dharmaparayan term just due to a person's utterances.
Dear Hindus, keep Ramayana, Mahabharat at home. Study them for 15 mins and in next 15 mins, revise what you have studied. Slowly inxrease the time to 30-30 mins. In about 2 years, you will be at much better place to understand many incidents, terms and traditions. Try it. Over.
Request to go through this thread by learned @NavroopSingh_ sir.
The series of incidents which led to Shukracharya forbidding the use of liquor for Brahmins is very interesting. Devguru Brihaspati sent his son Kacha at behest of Devtas for learning Mrita Sanjeevani Vidya through which Daityaguru used to resurrect the slain Asuras.
Kacha was obedient to his Guru and did not straightaway ask Guru to teach it. He became Shukracharya's just another disciple, and was very hard working. He did not leave any opportunity to serve his Guru.
Shukracharya's daughter was Devayani, and he loved is daughter very much.
However, Devtas had sent Kacha, eldest Son of Brihaspati, with a plan. He was tasked with duty of impressing Devyani so that she could compel his father to disclose Sanjivani Vidya to him. Kacha began his apprenticeship in Daityaguru's Ashram. He was very dedicated Shishya.
Many people get sudden power - signs of a strong 8th house. More than outer view, the D-8 chart of such people shows possibility of "sudden events" and an analysis thereof will clear quality of event. A Weak D-8 doesn't give power to endure sudden events, and even stops them.
This D-8 is not weak, however, not extremely good for native. Sudden death of father is reflected by aspect of a strong Saturn on 9th L that is posited in 10th H. Entry into politics is permitted by the same factor but success therein is blocked by 11th L in 12 H.
This is D-8 of Sh. Rahul Gandhi. Mutual exchange of Asc Lord and 9th L makes it strong.
You can cross-check how D-8 charts of both siblings reflect sudden trouble for father. Check combined aspect of Saturn & Mars on 4th H (8th H for father).
1. Drushya: Dreams of things which we have seen during daytime. 2. Shruta: Dreams about things which we have heard of earlier. 3. Anubhuta: Dreams about things which have been previously experienced by us. 4. Prarthitha: Dreams about things desired by us.

5. Kalpita: Dreams about things imagined by us in conscious state. 6. Bhavik: Dreams about things not heard of, imagined or seen earlier. 7. Doshaja: Dreams about disease by a bilious or phlegamtic defects.
The first 5 types generally do not have any real impact.
Such dreams fall under the sixth category and have real life impact (if the native does not forget it after waking up).
Those who follow me from long time, kindly read this in full. This is a thread for condolence.
I recently created a Telegram group and 1,400+ people became its part. Astrologers could help people posting their problems in the group. People discussed privately with them.

One such astrologer who started helping in the group was Shri Venugopal Kaushik (sorry, I could not ask his Twitter handle). He did not ask a penny in return and helped as many people as he could. People benefitted from his advice and reading. He was very humble.

In group, we learnt that he was practicing Jyotish from three decades. He had promised his Guru that he would not ask money from anyone. If people offered him Dakshina, he asked them to donate elsewhere.
He became the most active and popular member of the group in no time.
Vedic Jyotish is not only about astrology but about astronomical observations+calculations too. In this thread, we will learn about a twin star system, Arundhati Vashishtha, which is different from many others in sky, that was observed by our Rishis millennia ago.
Contd...
In twin star systems, one star is stationary and the other one rotates around it. However, the Arundhati-Vashishtha system is idiosyncratic in the sense that both stars are in synchrony. That is, both move around each other. This uniqueness was known to our enlightened seers.
Arundhati Mata was the wife of Maharishi Vashishtha and she is known for her pure character and dedication towards husband. Hence, viewing this twin star system by the married couple immediately after Saptapadi in many areas of India is considered very auspicious.
