RE: Sloka Vs Experience 4/ Ounce of exp more than10 tens oof theory

[Guest guest]

Dear Sunil

 

The real jyotish knowledge is still quite preserved by good downtown astrologers. Since, they do not speak english - their knowledge has yet not appeared in media / forums / books.

The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack of will.
