Effects of Birth Number 1 in Numerology

Mon, 12 Dec 2011 04:45:41 -0500

The Birth Number is the sum of the numbers added. For instance if you are born on the 3rd, your Birth Number is 3 and if you are born on the 21st, again it is 3. (2+1 = 3) . Here we give the effects of being born under different Birth Numbers. Birth Number One The Number One has tremendous significance. One is the first digit and is the base of all digits. This Primal Number represents the Sun the head of our solar system. Solar energy is the basis of all energy. Similarly the base of all digits is One. Those born on 1 10 19 & 28 are having 1 as their birth number. The One people wherever they are or wherever they be posited will attract attention. They become leaders wherever they go. Their individual power is such that they merit attention.Exce- llent behaviour and diplomacy they posess in no uncertain degree. They will be enamoured of the mundane pleasures of life. They will do anything & spend anything to enjoy the earthly pleasures. They love to be leaders wherever they go. Leadership will come to them naturally as they possess excellent leadership qualities. **End Summary** Topics: astrology and love]]> astrology chart]]> astrology software]]> astrology vedic]]> ]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Article by G Kumar, astrologer, academician & programmer.

Commodities Astrology

Sun, 04 Dec 2011 02:02:56 -0500

Commodities Astrology ? Gold has risen to $1600, after touching $1921. We are in the midst of a commodity bull market cycle, which started in 2000. We have been advocating buying gold, from $900 onwards. Silver has gone upto $32 and lead and others are following suit. Increased demand from China and India and the bearish nature of the stock market, global cues all lead to this commodity bull market cycle. Gold price is inversely proportional to the Dollex, the USDX. Jupiter rules gold. It was observed that a Bull Market Cycle lasts for 18 years. In 1982, we had the stock market boom and the bust of 2000. Not only the stock market, but the dot com market also went bust. This started the commodities bull market cycle and experts say it will last till 2016/18. So the stock market is on a decline, along with Realty and dot com. On the contrary, commodities have gone up. There are many reasons cited for the commodities boom. **End Summary** Topics: astrology and love]]> astrology chart]]> astrology software]]> astrology vedic]]> astrology programs]]> horoscope and astrology]]> astrology and horoscope]]> birth]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Article by G Kumar, astrologer, academician & programmer of www.eastrovedica.com.

Vishu, the Planting Season in Kerala

Wed, 19 Oct 2011 10:34:41 -0400

We have said that Vishu 8 or the Sun’s entry into the eighth degree of sidereal Aries, is the time for the farmers to sow. Vishu or the solar ingress into Aries, is celebrated all over Kerala. This is the dawn of a good era, as it marks the end of the hot seasons of Kumbha ( Aquarius ) and Meena ( Pisces ). Temperature touching 43 degrees is disconcerting. Vishu is the heralder of the two monsoons, the South West and the North East. The Vedic Calender is astro-meteorological and the farmers know when to sow and when to reap. So the best time to sow is in Medam or Mesha or Aries. Anything planted after this date will fructify, as the Edava Pathi or the South West Moon takes over in June and the Thula Varsham or the North East Monsoon takes over in Oct-Nov. In traditional farming, plants and trees need watering on alternative days. Now both monsoons ensure that plants and trees will be watered by Nature !. Hence the green landscape engineering done by Nature makes Kerala beauteous ! **End Summary** Topics: astrology and love]]> astrology chart]]> astrology software]]> astrology vedic]]> astrology programs]]> horoscope and astrology]]> astrology and horoscope]]> birth]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Article by G Kumar, astrologer, writer & programmer of www.eastrovedica.com He has 25 years psychic research experience in the esoteric arts.

Differential Equations and Planetary Mass

Wed, 19 Oct 2011 10:32:25 -0400

Many ancient cultures have contributed to the development of Astro Physics. Some examples are The Saros cycles of eclipses discovered by Egyptians The classification of stars by the Greeks Sunspot observations of the Chinese The phenomenon of Retrogression discovered by Babylonians In this context the Indian contribution to Astro Physics ( which includes Astronomy, Maths and Astrology ) is the the development of the ideas of planetary forces and differential equations to calculate the geocentric planetary longitudes, several centuries before the European Renaissance. Natural Strength is one of the Sixfold Strengths, Shad Balas and goes by the name Naisargika Bala. It is directly proportional to the size of the celestial bodies and inversely proportional to the geocentric distance. ( Horasara ). Naisargika Bala or Natural Strength is used to compare planetary physical forces. When two planets occupy the same, identical position in the Zodiac at a given instant of time, such a phenomenon goes by the name of planetary war or Graha Yuddha,happening when two planets are in close conjunction. The Karanaratna written by Devacharya explains that the planet with the larger diameter is the victor in this planetary war. This implies Naisargika Bala. **End Summary** Topics: astrology and love]]> astrology chart]]> astrology software]]> astrology vedic]]> astrology programs]]> horoscope and astrology]]> astrology and horoscope]]> birth]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Article by G Kumar, astrologer, academician & programmer of www.eastrovedica.com.

The infinite power series of the cosine and the arctangent

Thu, 06 Oct 2011 01:43:27 -0400

Madhava's cosine series is stated in verses 2.442 and 2.443 in Yukti-dipika commentary (Tantrasamgraha-vyakhya) by Sankara Variar. A translation of the verses follows. Multiply the square of the arc by the unit (i.e. the radius) and take the result of repeating that (any number of times). Divide (each of the above numerators) by the square of the successive even numbers decreased by that number and multiplied by the square of the radius. But the first term is (now)(the one which is) divided by twice the radius. Place the successive results so obtained one below the other and subtract each from the one above. These together give the śara as collected together in the verse beginning with stena, stri, etc. Let r denote the radius of the circle and s the arc-length. The following numerators are formed first: s.s^2, s.s^2.s^2 s.s^2.s^2.s^2 These are then divided by quantities specified in the verse. 1)s.s^2/(2^2-2)r^2, 2)s. s^2/(2^2-2)r^2. s^2/4^2-4)r^2 3)s.s^2/(2^2-2)r^2.s^2/(4^2-4)r^2. s^2/(6^2-6)r^2 As per verse, sara or versine = r.(1-2-3) Let x be the angle subtended by the arc s at the center of the Circle. **End Summary** Topics: astrology software]]> astrology software download]]> astrology software free]]> astrology software download free]]> find hindu astrology software]]> kp astrolog]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Article by G Kumar, astrologer, academician & programmer of www.eastrovedica.com.

Vedic Trignometry

Thu, 06 Oct 2011 01:40:39 -0400

In Hindu Trignometry ( which is derived from Trikonamithi, trikona = triangle and trignon = triangle ), Jya resembles the modern Sine and Koti Jya, the cosine. But in actuality, Jya is R Sin, that is Radius multiplied by modern sine. By Jya, Brahmagupta meant 5 degrees of a circle. In Hindu Sine Tables and Tan Tables, the values are given for 5 degrees, 10 degrees, 15 degrees etc so that the Astro Maths students need not bother about using the Indian trignometric and inverse functions. Aryabhata's sine tables are found to be accurate, when compared to modern sine tables. In other words, one Zodiacal Constellation, which is 30 degrees is made up of 6 jyas and a total of 72 Jyas constitute the Zodiac. Koti Jya is R Cos, that is Radius multiplied by modern cosine. Utkram Jya is the reverse sine, defined as 1- cos x. Since the Reverse sine resembled an arrow, Brahmagupta called it Sara. And since the Arcsine resembled a bow, he called itChapa. Bhujajya is radius multiplied by modern sine and bhujachapa is the arcsine. Kotijya is radius multiplied by modern cosine and Kotichapa is arccos. Sparshjya is tan and sparshachapa is arctan. **End Summary** Topics: astrology software]]> astrology software download]]> astrology software free]]> astrology software download free]]> find hindu astrology software]]> kp astrolog]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Article by G Kumar, astrologer, academician & programmer of www.eastrovedica.com.

Reduction to Geocentric Coordinates

Thu, 06 Oct 2011 01:39:26 -0400

The Vedic astronomers never said like Kepler that planets traverse in elliptical orbits. But then they talked about Eccentric and Epicyclic theories. They said for the luminaries, the Sun and the Moon, reduction to the geocentric (Sheegra Kriya ) coordinate system was not necessary. But for the Tara Grahas, like Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, Mars and Saturn, both thejya samskaras ( trignometric corrections ) are necessary. The Vedic astronomical texts say that the planets go in an epicycle, whose center moves along the mean circular orbit from west to east. This theory came to be known as the Epicyclic Theory. There is another theory called the Eccentric Theory, which states that a planet goes in a circle whose center is not the Earth, but a different point other than the Earth. Bhaskara says " The Center of the Celestial Sphere coincides with the center of the Earth. The circle in which a planet goes does not have its center coinciding with the Center of the Earth". **End Summary** Topics: astrology software]]> astrology software download]]> astrology software free]]> astrology software download free]]> find hindu astrology software]]> kp astrolog]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Article by G Kumar, astrologer, academician & programmer of www.eastrovedica.com.

Eccentric and Epicyclic Theories of Indian Astronomy

Thu, 06 Oct 2011 01:38:21 -0400

All planets traverse in ellipses and epicycles and this came to be known as the Epicycles Theory. In the above diagram, the circle A is the mean orbit of the planet. P is the mean Position of the planet and the small circle P is the epicycle. The small epicycles traversed by a planet are calculated and the mandaphala, the equation of center is computed and added if the Manda Kendra is in between 180 and 360 and subtracted if the M K is < 180. Manda Kendra is the angle between Position and Aphelion. From the perspective of the Epicyclic theory & the Hindu astronomers, the radius of the epicycle was given instead of PQ and the circumferences of the epicycles. Both circumferences and radii are given in degrees, minutes and seconds, so that the equation of the center may be computed in deg min and secs. The epicycle in the case of the Equation of Center is given as Manda Nicha Uccha Vritta. **End Summary** Topics: astrology software]]> astrology software download]]> astrology software free]]> astrology software download free]]> find hindu astrology software]]> kp astrolog]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Article by G Kumar, astrologer, academician & programmer of www.eastrovedica.com.

The Seven Names of Planets

Thu, 06 Oct 2011 01:37:15 -0400

A planet is said to be very strong when exalted. But mere exaltation is not enough.If a planet is exalted and has directional strength ( Dig Bala ), then it is said to be Sampoorna If a planet is exalted without any other strengths, it is said to be Poorna. If a planet is exalted, but is weak in the Sixfold Strength, it is said to be Riktha ( Weak ) Exalted with strength directional is Sampoorna called Devoid of other strengths, it is Poorna ! If he be weak in the Sixfold Such a planet is Riktha called ! If he be debilitated in Amsa Or in inimical houses in Amsa Such a planet is called Anishta ( bad ) Samyak balina swa thunga bhage Sampoorna Balavarjithasya Riktha Jneyamsa Gathasya Shatru bhage Jneya Anishta Phala Dasa Prasoothou Fall from Exaltation strenght is called Descending ( Avarohi ) If he be in friendly or exaltation in Amsa, he is called Madhya !

Saturn and Jupiter in Thailand

Thu, 06 Oct 2011 01:36:01 -0400

Shani, the deity of Justice, Destiny and Retribution, has His presence in Thailand. In ancient Siam, one can see his statue. Saturn, the melancholy planet, was rising at the birth of Dante. He is prominent in the horoscopes of Goethe and other poets and philosophers like Sankara. Without His Grace, liberation is not possible. The most ancient Civilization was the Vedic and Dr Kenneth Chandler puts the origin at 4900 BC. According to him, the Aryan Invasion Theory is not correct. Will Durant opined that India " is the mother of us all, through Sanskrit, the mother of Europe's languages". Dr Kenneth Chandler writes "The original theory proposed by the early historical linguistics who considered these issues was that Vedic Sanskrit conserved the original sound system of the "proto-Indo-European" language most closely, and that Iranian and European languages underwent a systematic sound shift, creating break-away or daughter languages spoken by the people who populated India and Europe. According to this theory, Vedic Sanskrit was put at near the trunk of the proto-Indo-European language tree, if not the trunk itself. This theory has been challenged and hotly debated in recent years, most especially by computer linguists. **End Summary** Topics: astrology software]]> astrology software download]]> astrology software free]]> astrology software download free]]> find hindu astrology software]]> kp astrolog]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Article by G Kumar, astrologer, academician & programmer of www.eastrovedica.com.

Astro Meterology is right!

Thu, 06 Oct 2011 01:34:31 -0400

Astro Meteorology's prediction that Kala Varsha will start on May 29th was proved right, as rains lashed Kerala on that date. Meteorology had predicted that SW Monsoon or Edava Pathi will start on May 31st and ancient Astro Meteorology proved to be more accurate than modern Meteorology. Two major factors will inlfuence the stock markets - the monsoon and the global community prices. Markets had recovered sharply during the latter part of the weekend, showing promise for the bulls. But then the factors mentioned above will influence the bourses considerably. Everbody knows that the Earth's journey through the Ecliptic produces the seasons and the South West Monsoon started on May 29th, when the Sun entered the 15th degree of Taurus.Kala Varsha, as it is known, hit the southern end of Kerala on this day and it is now raining in Kerala. Rains are expected to accelerate when the Sun transits Lambda Orionis ( Mrigasira ) and Alpha Orionis ( Aridra ). Also the constellations of Pushya and Punarvasu. An average monsoon is expected and GDP is expected to grow at 8%. The prices of crude, gold etc are a matter of concern. **End Summary** Topics: astrology software]]> astrology software download]]> astrology software free]]> astrology software download free]]> find hindu astrology software]]> kp astrolog]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Article by G Kumar, astrologer, academician & programmer of www.eastrovedica.com.

Jupiter's Transit of Aries will bring average rains !

Thu, 06 Oct 2011 01:31:19 -0400

Average Monsoons are expected this year, as Jupiter traverses the hot Aries. ( Around 2200 mm of rains expected in Kerala ). According to Astro Meteorology, the Kala Varsha or the South West Monsoon will start from May 29th and Meteorology predicts that it will start on May 31st. The Arabian Sea Branch of the South West Monsoon or Edava Pathi will start early and the Bay of Bengal Branch of the S W Monsoon will reach Calcultta by the 8th of June. Normally SW Monsoon reaches Bombay by 10th of June. This time there will be average monsoon on the 825 km Malabar Coast, along coastal Maharashtra, coastal Goa, coastal Karnataka and coastal Kerala. This belt receives the maximum rains and eve in the summer there are rains in Kerala, which looks always greenish ! Kala Varsha is caused by the cold winds from the Indian Ocean, which rush in to neutrallise the hot air of the Thar Desert and North India. Now Thar and N I is very hot and in Rajastan and Surat the heat is extreme. We are situated on the North of the Equator and ours is a Torrid Zone or a Tropical Zone. **End Summary** Topics: astrology software]]> astrology software download]]> astrology software free]]> astrology software download free]]> find hindu astrology software]]> kp astrolog]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Article by G Kumar, astrologer, academician & programmer of www.eastrovedica.com.

The Kerala School of Astronomy and Maths

Thu, 06 Oct 2011 01:28:54 -0400

The Indian astronomers were interested in the computation of eclipses, of geocentric longitudes, the risings and settings of planets,which had relevance to the day to day activities of people. Did not Emerson say? "Astronomy is excellent, it should come down and give life its full value, and not rest amidst globes and spheres ". They were not bothered about proposing Models of the Universe and gaining publicity. But then they did discuss the geometrical model, the rationale of their computations. The above diagram explains the Geometric Model of Parameswara, another Kerala astronomer. Paramesvara and Nilakanta modified the Aryabhatan Model. By Sheegroccha, he meant the longitude of the Sun." Sheegrocham Sarvesham Ravir bhavathi ", he says is his book Bhatadeepika . For the interior planets, the longitude of the Sheegra correction is to be deducted from the Sun's longitude, Ravi Sphuta to get the Anomaly of Conjunction. The Manda Prathimandala is the mean angular motion of the Planet, from which the trignometric corrections are given to get the true, geocentric longitude. Jyeshtadeva was a Kerala astronomer who helped in the calculation of longitudes, when there is latitudinal deflection. **End Summary** Topics: astrology software]]> astrology software download]]> astrology software free]]> astrology software download free]]> find hindu astrology software]]> kp astrolog]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Article by G Kumar, astrologer, academician & programmer of www.eastrovedica.com.

Vedic Civilization in Thailand

Thu, 06 Oct 2011 01:27:27 -0400

This is the photo of the Ramayana Garden in Thailand. The first poem and the greatest was Ramayana, opined Aurobindo. When the poet Valmiki saw two birds mating and a native killing one of the two. He said " Ma Nishada ", meaning " Dont do that, for it is Sin, it is Evil, it is against the Law of Conscience"! Ma nishada pratishtantva magama shashvathi sama Yat krouncha midhunath eva avadhim kamamohitam Ramayana is an allegorical and epic poem. As the Aryan Invasion Theorists argue, it is the not onslaught of the " Aryans" against the " Dravidians". The Aryan Invasion Theory has been proved wrong by scholars like Dr Konrad Elst, Dr Dennis Chandler, Aurobindo and Vivekananda. Man's dual aspect is highlighted in this poem. The Ego is the imperfect term in Man and Self or the Divine in the perfect term. The Ego is the lower imperfect term of our being; Self is the higher, perfect term. The Ego is symbolised as Ravana, the ten headed demon king. His ten heads represent Mind, Intelligence, processing Mind, Ego, Lust, greed, anger, avarice, jealousy, gluttony and sloth. **End Summary** Topics: astrology software]]> astrology software download]]> astrology software free]]> astrology software download free]]> find hindu astrology software]]> kp astrolog]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Article by G Kumar, astrologer, academician & programmer of www.eastrovedica.com.

Sun's transit of the Pleiades produces rains in Kerala

Thu, 06 Oct 2011 01:26:16 -0400

Rains lashed Trichur at around 0500 AM initiating the rainy Njattuvelas. It normally starts to rain from Karthika Njattuvela onwards and then fierce rains are expected from May 29th onwards when the Sun transits Rohini, Mrigasira, Punarvasu and Pushya. The heavens are murky now, at about 0900 AM and there is no sign of the Sun. But then rains will accelerate and reach their crescendo during Mrigasira, Aridra, Punarvasu and Pushya Njattuvelas. The South West Monsoon normally hits the Andamans on May 20th, Bombay on June 10th and Kolkotta on June 8th. This time SW Monsoon seems to be delayed in the Andamans but we expect normal rains this season. Kerala receives 2500 mm rains every year and about 1500 mm during Kala Varsha or the South West Monsoon. 600 mm during the North East or Thula Varsha and about 400 mm rains during summer grace Kerala, making Kerala a green Paradise ! All have welcomed these rains as it is a big relief from the blistering heat. Yesterday temperature was around 38 degrees and many working under the Sun were cursing the horrific heat. **End Summary** Topics: astrology software]]> astrology software download]]> astrology software free]]> astrology software download free]]> find hindu astrology software]]> kp astrolog]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Article by G Kumar, astrologer, academician & programmer of www.eastrovedica.com.

Calculus, India's gift to Europe

Thu, 06 Oct 2011 01:24:48 -0400

The Jesuits took the trignometric tables and planetary models from the Kerala School of Astronomy and Maths and exported it to Europe starting around 1560 in connection with the European navigational problem, says Dr Raju. Dr C K Raju was a professor Mathematics and played a leading role in the C-DAC team which built Param: India’s first parallel supercomputer. His ten year research included archival work in Kerala and Rome and was published in a book called " The Cultural Foundations of Mathematics". He has been a Fellow of the Indian Institute of Advanced Study and is a Professor of Computer Applications. “When the Europeans received the Indian calculus, they couldn’t understand it properly because the Indian philosophy of mathematics is different from the Western philosophy of mathematics. It took them about 300 years to fully comprehend its working. The calculus was used by Newton to develop his laws of physics,” opines Dr Raju.

Tourism Rising

Thu, 06 Oct 2011 01:23:41 -0400

Tourism Marketing is defined as the enabler of a country to invite guests from different cultures, customs, traditions, to enjoy their rich culture, heritage, cuisines, art and architecture, entertainment and hospitality. Tourism Industry is the largest employment generator in the world. We find that small countries like Malaysia and Singapore woo millions of foreign tourists and bag billions of foreign exchange. India has been lagging behind so far, due to innumerable reasons. Now India tourism receipts show better stats. India received $15 billion and Kerala received $3 billion. India, who houses rich tourist locations, have so far been at the bottom of the World Tourism Receipt countries and does not figure in the top ten. This is mainly because of the step daughterly treatment Tourism Industry got from the country's planners. It was only last year that the Government allocated 1000 crores in the Indian budget for the Tourism sector. United States lead with receipts of over $ 100 b. Spain is second with 60 b, Germany, UK and China are about 40 billion. Tourism infrastructure should be improved in India, if India is to exploit the full potential of Tourism. **End Summary** Topics: astrology software]]> astrology software download]]> astrology software free]]> astrology software download free]]> find hindu astrology software]]> kp astrolog]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Article by G Kumar, astrologer, academician & programmer of www.keralaheritages.com He gives free tips at http://www.astrologiavedica.com/html/diverseblogs.htm and his ebooks can be had at http://www.astrognosis.com/html/ebooks.htm

The Longitude Corrected Thrice Method of Indian Astronomy

Thu, 06 Oct 2011 01:21:13 -0400

The Earth's Axial tilt is called the Obliquity of the Ecliptic and the is angle between the perpendicular to Orbit and the North Celestial Pole. The Equatorial coordinate system is based on the 360 degree Celestial Equator Circle. The Ecliptic coordinate system is based on the 360 degree Ecliptic circle. The mathematical conversion from Equatorial to Ecliptic is effectuated by the equation for the Ascendant Lagna = arctan ( Sin E / Cos E Cos w - Sin w Tan A ) where Lagna is the Lagna on the Ecliptic andE is the Lagna on the Celestial Equator, the Sayana Kala Lagna. The Sayana Kala Lagna, E, is reduced to the Ecliptic by this equation. The Lagna is the intersecting point between the Eastern Celestial Horizon, the Kshitija with the Ecliptic. w is the Sun's maximum declination and A is the latitude of the place. w was an important angle in the Munjala Model and the solution to the problem of a difference of 2.5 degrees in the lunar longitude had to be solved. So Munjala brought in an angle, w, angle between the Mean Sun and the Moon's Apogee. **End Summary** Topics: astrology software]]> astrology software download]]> astrology software free]]> astrology software download free]]> find hindu astrology software]]> kp astrolog]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Article by G Kumar, astrologer, academician & programmer of www.eastrovedica.com.

Mathematics and Philosophy

Thu, 06 Oct 2011 01:20:02 -0400

In India, mathematics is related to Philosophy. We can find mathematical concepts like Zero ( Shoonyavada ), One ( Advaitavada ) and Infinity (Poornavada ) in Philosophia Indica. The Sine Tables of Aryabhata and Madhava, which gives correct sine values or values of 24 R Sines, at intervals of 3 degrees 45 minutes and the trignometric tables of Brahmagupta, which gives correct sine and tan values for every 5 degrees influenced Christopher Clavius, who headed the Gregorian Calender Reforms of 1582. These correct trignometric tables solved the problem of the three Ls, ( Longitude, Latitude and Loxodromes ) for the Europeans, who were looking for solutions to their navigational problem ! It is said that Matteo Ricci was sent to India for this purpose and the Europeans triumphed with Indian knowledge ! The Western mathematicians have indeed lauded Indian Maths & Astronomy. Here are some quotations from maths geniuses about the long forgotten Indian Maths ! In his famous dissertation titled "Remarks on the astronomy of Indians" in 1790, the famous Scottish mathematician, John Playfair said "The Constructions and these tables imply a great knowledge of geometry,arithmetic and even of the theoretical part of astronomy. **End Summary** Topics: astrology software]]> astrology software download]]> astrology software free]]> astrology software download free]]> find hindu astrology software]]> kp astrolog]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Article by G Kumar, astrologer, academician & programmer of www.eastrovedica.com.

Almost all TV channels are discussing India's chances in the World Cup. Just now I saw a tape of the 1983 Final which India won ! Indians are thinking " Will History repeat itself ? ". Will Sachin, when he quits the World Cup for ever, be able to hold aloft the Golden Cup ? People like Sreekanth thinks it is possible ! With so many spinners in the side - Aswin, Bajji, Chawla, Yuvraj, Sehwag, Pathan, Sachin & Raina - and on the Indian spin tracks, many feel that this is possible ! Anyway, it is Cricket Fiesta in India. There will be 49 matches, 29 in India. Add 74 more IPL matches, it is a great 103 world class matches in India, before one billion TV audience ! Great business for the advertisers, satellite channels, airlines, hotels and players ! Win Win ! One ten second spot TV ad is priced at 5 lakhs and it can be more in the premium matches like semifinals and finals. The brand value of IPL is around 4.2 billion USD and will be more in the years to come.

India's Transfiguring Hour

Sun, 08 May 2011 07:13:50 -0400

As we said in our columns before, 1030 PM on 02042011, proved to be India's transfiguring hour ! Some idol worshipping Indians have not acknowledged the role played by Gambhir. He came in when Sehwag was out second ball and when he got out, the score was 223/4 and the dew had set in ! "The 97 in the World Cup final was not the best innings in my career but no doubt the most important one so far," the 29 year old Gambhir told reporters after reaching Delhi "It was a special knock for me as it came in a special situation. The whole country was expecting us to win the World Cup and I have contributed my bit in India's triumph. So, it was the most important innings of my career." His Delhi team mate Kohli supported him in a vital 83 run stand for the third wicket. "Obviously, a century in the final would have been the icing on the cake. But winning was more important for the country. If you had hit a century but your team lost there was no point," said the dashing left hander. **End Summary** Topics: live streaming cricket]]> free streaming cricket]]> ipl]]> ipl cricket]]> ipl schedule]]> my cricket]]> cricket internet]]> cricket highlights]]> cricket store]]> ]]> About the Author: ]]> Article by G Kumar, astrologer, academician & programmer of http://www.cricketastro.com He gives free tips at http://www.astrologiavedica.com/html/diverseblogs.htm and his ebooks can be had at http://www.astrognosis.com/html/ebooks.htm
