or Varshrambha (beginning of Hindu year). For religious purposes, beginning of bright half (Shukldi) of the lunar month of Chaitra is Varshrambha (whose horoscope is popularly known as Varsh-kundali), but for astrological purposes Sun at sidereal FPA is Varshrambha. Horoscope (kundali) made at this juncture, known as Jagat-lagna, is effective for one whole year. Every panchnga (religious almanac) publishes Jagat-lagna on its cover page, alongwith Varsh-kundali. Varsh-kundali is less effective, while Jagat-lagna is the dominant kundali for the whole year. If the lagna-rshi in Jagat-lagna is Chara, other three thri-monthly kundalis also become important, but if Jagat-lagna's lagnarshi is Sthira, then Jagat-lagna is all powerful. There is no dispute among panchngas about above points. But almost every panchnga makes the Jagat-lagna from the place of its publication. As a result, there are as many Jagat-lagnas for the world as there are number of panchngas. It is not difficult to guess that these kundalis made from diverse locations must differ from each other. There is no consensus among panchnga makers about the place from which Jagat-lagna should be made. Ancient authorities believed Mt Meru to be such a centre. It was believed to be centre of all universes. Mahabhrata clearly states that all planets revolve round it. Even Buddhist and Jain literature is replete with eulogies of Mt Meru. If Mt Meru is imagined to be Pole and annual horoscope is drawn there, meruvian latitudes will describe twelve bhvas upon the globe. During Kaliyuga, people forgot this ancient method of drawing world's Jagat-lagna and Mt Meru came to be identified with geographical North Pole, which is against geographical facts. Suryasidhhnta and Narapatijayachary explicitly mention that Mt Meru lies at the middle of the Earth in the land of Jamboonada in Jamboodveepa. Jamboonada, Jamboodveepa and a mountain like Mt Meru must lie at the surface of Earth, but Reverend Burgess wrongly translated Suryasiddhntic term "bhoogolamadhya" as at the centre of earth-globe, instead of as 'bhoomadhya-rekh' , ie, at equator. The highest mountain at equator in Africa, where Jamboonadi ( >Jambunazi >Jambenazi >Jambezi) flows, is Mt Kenya, where an administrative headquarter and important town of Kenya lies, known as Meru. This Mt Kenya is the Mt Meru of ancients. Jagat-lagna drawn from here is effective for the whole world. Data about rainfall, earthquakes, tsunamis, floods, major wars, etc have been checked for hundreds of years and found to be true for the world, but only when Suryasiddhntic Ganita (mathematics) is followed. Scholars attached to KSD Sanskrit University and scholars working in many other institutions of India undertook extensive researches on these topics which have yielded positive results, and recently four major research projects related to Medini Jyotisha (terrestrial astrology) have been approved to widen the scope of research.
