Guest guest Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 Dear Sreeram, Let's pray that India too makes such laws at the earliest. Men selling themselves in the name of High Govt Officer, This and that sage, baba etc, pseudoscientific research, false claims of predictions and owning magazines (pseudo Journals) etc must be made to display the 'entertainment' board. Those who publish doomsday predictions like Earthquake in Delhi must be put behind the bars as such items of gimmick cannot be entertainment. chandra hari , " sreeram srinivas " <sreeram64 wrote: > > > Dear Members, > > I am very happy to share this information news clip, hoping that would > address the worst part of Low Quality Astrologers making tall claims, > bringing dis-respect to astrology.

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 Sh.Sreeram srinivas, Thanks for the clip. I have the same in my pocket. I was also going to write the same. No astrologer can claim 100% true prediction. It is only Brahma who can claim for the 100% correct prediction.It was the opening shloka of astrological magazine. It is because: a)We have only the little knowledge of our Solar System, not the whole Universe. b)We do not know other factors which are influencing us. c) That every thing is relative. d) The Universe is expanding and changing every friction of second. e)we have confusion about the ayanamsa. f) We have confusion about the time of birth and there are so many other factors which are not known to us. Under such circumstances how can we claim 100% correct predictions. When a distressed and suffering person goes to rogue/thaga astrologers he claims 100% relief through astrological remedies. He charges large amount of money for his services. The sufferings person has to pay to relive his suffering as in medical treatment. When medical services come under consumer act, why not astrological or occult or psychic services. UK government and Europeon Union is right to bring these services under law. Astrological services are only to guide to travel through the journey of life.I shall like to request Indian Government to bring these services under law to curb the exploitation of innocent person who desire to have relief from the mental agony. regards > Dear Members, > > I am very happy to share this information news > clip, hoping that would > address the worst part of Low Quality Astrologers > making tall claims, > bringing dis-respect to astrology.
