Guest guest Posted June 9, 2004 Report Share Posted June 9, 2004 The chances of forecast of beautiful babies being borne to be correct must be about 100% as all the babies are beautiful, and no- body would say that any baby is ugly looking!! In contrast to this the forecasts made by savants goes wrong so frequently eg BJP defeat. As for TV pop astrology, about 100 or 200 years ago printed medium say books or newspaper must had been ridiculed in the same way.And after 100 years we may have some quite differnt system/media and at that time TV/computer would become sacred being old media.!

Guest guest Posted June 10, 2004 Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 Sorry Inder -- did not address all of your points in my last response. I would not hold against anyone nor judge anyone by mundane astrology predictions. Those are based on charts that are often less accurate and more speculative than natal charts and so must not be judged too rigorously. I think that is a developing craft, even now. Actually much of jyotish is. I have been following the jyotish scene since mid-sixties and the amount of information and research and illustration and research mentality in jyotishis has grown tremendously. Internet has helped and so have publications like the astrological magazine and others. I personally do not find most books, translations of classics to be very helpful. Please note, I said 'most' and not "all"! You are right about newer media challenging the existing ones and so on, but I think what Mr. Rao meant was the commercial flashy kind of tv astrology that we see in north america and perhaps more in India. Just like the 'sunsign' astrology of west, some of the commercial astrology is more of entertainment value than educational. Though many people call astrology as entertainment or classify it so to cover their posteriors legally, the fact of the matter is much of that type of astrology is for entertainment! But, not here, of course, so let us get back to work!
