Guest guest Posted November 17, 2004 Report Share Posted November 17, 2004 Hare Rama Krishna Dear Sri Praveen, Agreed that we all speculate and nothing wrong with that. Though, as you said 'sabhda' is superior to 'anumana'. So, learning from a Guru (GuruMukha) is important. In any theory we present, Prayer to God should Not become redundant, is the only submission i like to make. i mean when and if we say, everything is predestined, then God worship provides what? We can discuss this hours on, if you are the same Praveen i know from Mumbai! regards viswanadham P.S: 98202 28271 vedic astrology, Praveen Kumar <chunnu2001@v...> wrote: > Brilliant ! That is exactly my idea I have been pondering over for years. Then concept of Karmaphala (consequences of own deeds) too becomes questionable. When everything is predestined then what we can mean by self and own karma. If a person has benefic influence on Lagna he is bound to do good Karmas than the one with Mars and Saturn influencing his personality. Even a great yogi's life is discussed through his horoscope which itself means that there is nothing like self generated things. There is a loose concept like partial freewill. Late Shri B.V.Raman too has talked about semi independent karma. But then, we enter a complex and controversial area with no proof in support thereof. We have ample proofs of destiny but, perhaps, none supporting Karmaphala. Now someone can ask, "why this destiny then and how it functions". But then, we can better leave it like many other unresolved mysteries of the world rather than putting forward inexplicable theories. > > The only strong point favouring Karmaphala lies in the concept of 'Shabda Praman' in Indian Philosophy. In Indian Philosophy we find mention of 'Shabda Praman', that is words or actions of superior ones are Praman (evidence) in itself and need not be substantiated by any further proof. Hence the great Rishies (seers) who had given us astrology which works, also preached about Karmaphala as the basis of astrology spanning over more than one births. Today we don't have any scientific explanation for planetary influences and so for Karmaphala too. > > But still, the problem remains unresolved. > > Praveen Kumar (Mumbai) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
