Guest guest Report post Posted May 5, 2000 Hi Tarun, The study of omens is referred to as "nimitta" in jyotish. I was told that Hart DeFouw and Jim Kelleher are each writing a book on the topic. I have heard Jim Kelleher lecture on the topic--very interesting--and he incorporates nimitta into his practice of jyotish. I very much believe in the use of omens. Of course I come by that naturally with my Irish background. I find that being aware of signs on a subtle level is a way of keeping one's consciousness a bit more subtle too--in more of an alpha brain wave state.
