Guest guest Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 Namaste, After following our discussion on astrology, a friend(who is a spiriutal person) asked me this: " If Astrology is true, it means we have no free will? After all, 100s of people born the same day, hour & minute, dont always share their fortune. Also, it means we can blame our misfortunes on the planets, as well as our bad habits. After all, if i murder someone, is it really my fault if my Mars(violence planet) was strong at the time? If I am poor, is it because I am lazy, or because my Saturn is bad? " How should I answer him? with love, Shantnu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 OMNAMONARAYANAYA Astrology may not be a perfect science like mathematics but the effects of planets and the free will of a human can be illustrated as follows 1)A man is standing in the open sun at mid day during the month of May in Vijayawada (nicknamed Blazewada) without even a pair of chappals and having no water nearby 2)Another man is there after a cold shower ,light clothing,wearing dark glasses loose sandals under an umbrella, having cool fruit juice and water in two flasks. Sun is equally effective on both but the second one is saved from sun stroke. The protection of the second one is human effort and will.

Is human will enough? Can one change the power of planets through our will power alone(with Gods grace, obviously), without needing any other " remedies " like gems, expensive pujas, that astrologers routinely prescribe? with love, Shantnu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
