Choudhry Astrology (SA) to Robert and Das

[Guest guest]

I agree that one swallow doesn't make a summer. The system's approach

has yet to prove itself as a reliable branch of Vedic astrology. I

appreciate the efforts that you both are making to teach the

authentic Vedic astrology. That is why I will always enjoy coming to

this board.

 

Nevertheless I'm open to new ideas like Choudry's but not to discuss

them on this board, out of respect for the great work that you both

are doing for classic Vedic astrology.

 

Many regards,

 

J.
