Guest guest Posted August 18, 2003 Report Share Posted August 18, 2003 To clarify myself, I am not the moderator of the list, but one of those interested students. Also I am just a student, probably not as good as an astrologer as you are to make predictions. If you think everyone who is predicting here is doing so for boasting his ego, I cannot agree with that. There are many in this forum who do it for helping out the needful. Per, Adi Sankara himself, Jyotish is a Vedanga and is the light that will pull you out of darkness if properly used. The concept of Ishta Devatha I think is for taking the individual towards self realization/moksha.This is just one of the many Astrological concepts and I can cite many like this which show you the same spiritual direction. Whether you want to go with Adi Sankara or Abdul Kalam, the choice is yours. Someone who is hungry does not want to listen to spiritualism etc. He wants food first. Similarly someone who is in trouble wants to get out of the trouble first and then think of other things. Here is where Astrology helps him, saying that he would be OK by so and so year, but he needs to keep faith in GOD and do some prayer/remedy to appease the deity thus starting his spiritual journey. From there on it is the individual's karma which would decide where his journey would end. I can go ON and ON. But my point here was, please do not discourage students who are sincerely interested in this science. Not that they would be perturbed by your opinion, but we just don't want to scare away the novices who get carried away easily. "Others may different opinions" as Guru Chandrasekhar always says, and I am using his quote here, hope he does not mind :-) Sorry if I have hurt any of your personal feelings in this endeavor to justify the existence of the Divine Science.

Guest guest Posted August 18, 2003 Report Share Posted August 18, 2003 Dear Sudeep Suri, If you are not interested in Astrology,then why you became a member of this group ? I have already written in these columns to you that you go through the archives of this group where many learned Astrolgers made some analysis of various charts and gave predictions which became true also.Another important thing is that this List is not for giving predictions but for learning and exchange of Jyotish Jnaan among the members.Sometimes some members want to help some people who are in their difficult times and as a humanity ,helping is done by analysing some horoscopes and remedies prescribed. I hope this helps you.
