Dear RK Dash ji,
I had to look in the dictionary while reading your mail - to
understand, maven, egged on, miffed, vagaries etc. I am just a
beginner as far as English is concerned, and that is why such a
situation. But sir, what a language! Quite impressive!

Well, if 'Let's predict....' set off any kind of brain storming, then
truly, I am glad!! Though it was not that reflective here in this
forum, I hope you will be right.

True!!...

But we people are like jackals - we sit wait and when we
feel that it it proper time to introduce a subject, jump in and have
our word!!!.....

How can we fee the same way??!!! I never exposed the fact that, I am
in support of Horoscope matching or Against it!!! Are you inviting me
to the platform that talks against papasamya and horoscope matching?.
....

) Please wait, and see what others feel....

No sir!!! Actually it is the oral tradition that kept astrology in
its original form and saved it from corruption!!! In Kerala it never
underwent much corruption only because of the fact that the oral
tradition was also present!! The presnamagachaya never said/talked
about interpreting Navamsa chart(and the other vargas) independently,
and look at the north Indian system where people are interpreting
Navamsa chart independently for the past 300 or more years, without
the support of a single book or sloka!!! And now they have started
interpreting Presnamarga also in the same way!!! The primary reason
could only be break occurred in the continuity of the oral tradition!
!! This is a conclusion we draw upon when we compare the systems
followed in North/South. OK. It is all together a different subject
and should not be brought into the issue of Horoscope Matching.....

Love,
Sreeandh
