is jyotish a true science (a layman's doubt)

[Guest guest]

dear members and gurujis

 

i have been reading jyotish for some time, and in past as well i

believd in it quite fairly, but seeing the postings on these pages

and reading it and otherwise observing the field, i have started

doubting it because those people who are experts have so different

opinions, they are mostly adding information to other experts,

putting forth different arguments, and have different opinions on

the basis of different individual astrological experiences. and

there are so many system of predicting and on web i see people

developing new systems, and making research on the basis of

available kundli (which means we are fitting life events of people

according to the grahas in kundlis, whereas the purpose of jyostish

is to predict life events!!)

 

another thing is that i feel the prediction is based on the

psychology of the person predicting, if i put forth a kundli saying

about good events, asrologers start finding good points, that is

good points are exaggerated and bad points are ignored, but if i put

forth a kundli(of a middle class average person) and state bad

events, astrologers start seeing the kundli from negative

perspective. if astrology is so opinion based then the degree of

accuracy is considerably unreliable.

 

for me it is shocking because me and some other people are making

some of the important decisions on the basis of patrika (marriage,

job etc. are very important decisions indeed!)

 

if all combinations of a particular bhav are pointing towards one

thing (good or bad) then only reliable prediction can be based

otherwise everything becomes opinion based.

 

i hope my doubts be clarified by esteemed members and astrologers. I

M NOT SAYING THAT I DONT BELIEVE IN IT, BUT I HAVE BEGUN TO DOUBT

THE ACCURACY OF THE PREDICTIONS and also the basis. i hope my doubts

would be clarified, i m novice and hope the experts would give me

right direction. I HOPE THIS WOULD BE TAKEN IN THE RIGHT SPIRIT TO

CLEAR THE DOUBTS OF GENERAL PUBLIC.
