RE: KN RAO - Humble Suggestion

[Guest guest]

Dear and respected learned members

 

I am no person to comment on this ongoing topic.With your permission i am

expressing my humble opinion.

Constructive criticism is instrumental for the growth of any subject.Especially

for a knowledge like Astrology, where things are not quite straight forward and

which needs an integrated dynamic approach rather than static analysis,criticism

and debate is a must.But the criticism should be constructive and the ends

should be beneficial for the growth of the knowledge.

 

Thus i beleive we should understand and take the mail from Sanjayji

,Narasimharaoji and Chandrashekarji regarding this, with its true meaning.

The challenge given by Sanjayji is constructive as it is similar to a

debate,where the predictive capabilities of scholars are tested.

 

Hence we should take the advise of Narasimha Raoji and Chandrashekar ji

regarding criticism and if we criticize it should be constructive as Sanjayji

has done.Else it will be like a political platform.

 

Any person criticising personally beyond limits is belittling himself in the

process, and hence nothing to worry for us.

 

I again apologise to the Gurujis and learned members for making these statements

if it is wrong, as i have no authority to do so.Take this as a humble suggestion

from a student of astrology.

 

With respect

Pradeep

[vedic astrology] KN RAO

Dear Neeraj

In Toronto I had met few people who had learnt astrology from Bhartiya Vidya

bhavan and they told me That Sanjay Rath is a better astrologer Than KN RAO,

Sir Rao"s predictive abilities are poor.The common joke in Delhi amongst

professional people in Private sector is that if you want an appointment with

KN RAO have your wife or secretary call him . My friend a senior manager in Air

India about 10 yrs ago called RAO for an appoinment but Rao refused him in a

very rude way. Then one of his friends advised him to have his secretary call

KN RAO. Then my friend in Air India had his secretary call KN RAO. And the

great Rao was sugar and honey and gave his secretarty the appoinment.KN rao

needs a course in ethical discipline and values.I dont consider him an

astrologer. I have met astrologers who are simple, honest, humble people and

they make predictions far superior to that of KNRAO.And IF YOU ALL MEMBERS IN

JYOTISH LIST REMEMEMBER THAT KN RAO HAD APPEARED ON A TELEVISION PROGRAMME

ANCHORED BY VIR SANGHVI IN 1997( I AM NOT SURE ABOUT THE YEAR) AND IN FRONT OF

EVERYONE HE HAD WITH HIS SHORT TEMPER AND MISPLACED ARROGANCE MADE A FOOL OF

HIMSELF, WITH EVERYONE LAUGHING AT HIM.

~ Om Namah Shivaya ~Dear List,Whatever may be the abilities of Mr. K.N. Rao,

butcertainly this is not the correct way to point outmistakes of anyone (if

any). I had been on this listfor a couple of months and it is my personal

beliefthat Respected Sanjay Rath Ji is a good astrologer. Ihad seen him on the

list helping out other people andexplaining things in a simple and beautiful

manner.It should be noted that no one is perfect in thisworld and too err is

human. But certainly as theexperience goes on, the chances of errors

areminimized. But the way Mr. K.N. Rao pointed out Sanjay Ji andB.V. Raman is

not at all correct. It reflects his EGO.He may be a better astrologer that Pt.

Sanjay Ji orDr. B.V. Raman, if viewed from some particularreference, but

according to me the behaviour shownhere does not reflect it of a sound and good

humanbeing.One should be courteous and should have respect forother members and

people in the society.Kind regards,Neeraj Gupta--- sudeep suri wrote:> dear sir
