Are male/female births uniformly distributed in time?

[Guest guest]

Namaste Sarajit,

 

You are saying that as souls, we have the "choice" (in some abstract

sense of the word) to take either a male or a female birth. This is

based on our 'vasanas', or tendencies.

 

First off, I can ask you how you "know" this to be true. This is

what we "believe". There is a danger in stating things we have

"heard" and we "believe" as things we "know". But we will let that

pass...

 

You are saying that "souls" choose a male or female birth, based

on what they want to experience. Even granting this to be valid,

this does not explain why they would choose different times of

birth as well.

 

It would be very brave of you to assert that at a given instant

when a male child was born in a huge city like Mumbai, a female

child was not being born a few streets, or localities away!

 

Also, assuming a soul has prior knowledge of what sex it "wants"

to be born as, and what life-experiences it wants to have, it

would be very difficult to explain female infanticide. *Why* would

a soul "choose" to be born as a female when it knows........

I don't want to complete the rest (it would get graphic, and crude).

Right. We take birth according to our inherent tendencies. However, we don't

have choice in true sense, this is decided by the divine law which guide our

birth according to our tendencies. (This is like, if a child has a artistic

calibre, the father of the child decides to put him in a art school,

however, the child doesn't decide to enroll himself to the art school)

I have studies Indian Phylolophy and many buddhist texts and also texts

written by HH Srila Prabhupada and Vivekananda. My arguements are based on

principles enunciated by them. However, it is true that I can't validate it

unless I am an realised soul. For the timebeing I trust the validity of

these texts.

It does explain. No two boy and Girl have the same horoscope. There are

specific time at a place when only girl child can be born and some other

time when boys can be born. This can be seen while rectifying a birth chart

with different techniques (Though this is still a grey area). If this is not

true, determining the sex of the individual is not possible on the basis of

horoscope.

The level of precesion I am taking about, no two individual can have the

same time of birth which could make their divisional charts upto shathyamsa,

the same. The above mentioned point also appplies here.

The birth one takes is the result of the tendencies one has, the situations

one gets in (lets say infenticide in this case) is the result of one's past

karma. One doesn't have choise whether to pass through the situations or

not. Moreover, as I said,one doesn't have the choice to be born as a female,

the devine law decides it according to his tendencies.

 

Please keep your queries posting.

Sarajit
