Guest guest Posted September 6, 2002 Report Share Posted September 6, 2002 Pranam/Hello Lots of fire now-a-days, why I could not understand. Last day when I wrote "Islam and Astrology" just to clarify the general perspective about the status of astrology in Islamic society as the answer of a question asked by one of our group friend. Readers and members know this was just an effort insisting an urgent reform among Muslim savants so that astrology can be given its right place in muslim community, it was not a praise or insult of any one. Neither I used single word aginst any religion, caste or creed nor I insulted any belief. But , I've received many mails(even directly not via vedic astrology group) full of strong words and abhorrence (and I should not repeate those words). Even though I've explained many a times that this group was built in order to serve and propagate the Parashara's knowledge. Many Gurus of the vedic tradition indicated hatred, narrow mindedness and prejudice as the disease of human soul and against the Sattawa as well. Please sinserely think and decide, Are they solution of anything? I hope a great number of list agree to the notion that vedic principles can not permit us to abolish Ahensa. Through this message I am again requesting you all that do criticize but in proper manner and at right place. Please don't degrade any belief and dont hurt anyone, Is this not the teechings of Lord Krishna?

Guest guest Posted September 7, 2002 Report Share Posted September 7, 2002 Yastu sarvani bhutani atmanyevanupashyati sarva bhuteshu chatmanam tato na bijugupsate. (Isa Upanishad) "The man of realization, who sees all beings as his own Atman, sees his own Atman in all beings and never hates anyone." Dear Muhammad, There are people in both our countries who are extremists and fanatics. It is they who cause the harm and spread hatred like poison. I think both our cultures have an exaggerated and heightened sense of each other's arudha lagnas. In fact, since you are a scholar of history you will know that all world religions have fallen into the trap of creating a status quo and a rigid establishment. Remember what happened to the church in the West during the medieval era. In fact, the concept of a secular constitution was born simply to counter the terror of the church. I would urge you to be strong and ignore the 'irrelevant' and hate mail you receive both on and off list and to continue with your scholarly pursuits.
