Guest guest Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 Hi Dipika let me get you in the first outset what are you out to. Do you praise astrology or throw mud on it? If you are both and I am for both too. I hate to claim astrological truths on the name of God or super natural beings. Astrology is a Science of appropriation. I can try to be scientific ,but cant prove anything in the lab. I am sure that I am a rational astrologer. tkp On 6/17/08, dipika blr <blr.aspirant wrote: Narendra NayakFwd: a report in deccan herald, mangalore supplementanother tale of bogus astrology. -- TKP Ghopal32.2/40 Rajaratnam St.,Riverside Road,I Agraharam,SALEM-636 00193666 23444 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 Dear Mr Ghopal ji NamasteI am sure you are a well-intentioned astrologer. However, lets clarify what you have written.Firstly, i think you mean " Asstrology is a science of approximation'.Also, you cant claim to be both rational and astrologer at the same time, unless you present either scientific or empirical evidence. Pls keep this is mind. You will have to make a choice and speak out, even if it means abandoning astrology, just like I have done. Pls find a bettter hobby/work as an online counselor or agony uncle, if you really intend to help people in distress.

Guest guest Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 Dear Dipika I gather that you were an astrologer had to abondon because you couldnt be scientific. Why did I say that its a science of apprpopriation because you cant test it in a lab. Well to your knowledge do you think all the lab tested science are immortal. They too are proved wrong by another scientist in a deffered date. I meant by being rational beacuase I dont chase the natives crazy by threatening them with foolish remedies. I am from a land where rationalism was at its heaight in India and they were against those foolish and unholy(the priests called holy) rituals.They were against the human tease human on the cover of upper caste and lower caste.But for them Tamilnadu would ve been still under the fiece complex of upper casteism. Well,I go more on the line of counselling in addition to the planetary influences. I ve a question to you ,do you really feel that there is no influence of planets on earth and human?

Guest guest Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 Resp. Ghopal Ji, Namaskar, I am jumping in your discussion with Ms. Dipika. Thanks for joining the forum and hope to have a very interesting and lengthy discussion as we have a rational astrologer. Is it a good combination? I think that either one may be in support of predictive astrology (with any reason like experience, many supporter of astrology, tradition, science one more category rational or so on) or one may be against predictive astrology (with any reason like experience, rational, unscientific, illogical etc.) . Our forum is the first forum where we are exchanging our views on both sides without any personal allegation. Do not worry, I was also of the opinion that astrology is a science but after prolonged digging I find that it is based on primitive concept and knowledge hence bogus. You may refer file " Astrology a science or myth " in file section. Let us take various stands taken by you. >>>>>>>>that its a science of appropriation, because you cant test in a lab <<<<<<<<<< I will like to know that where it is written in any astrological scripture that it is a science or appropriation or more correctly approximation. Because every astrological prediction is based on some sort of combination, aspect, friendship, dasha etc etc. with definite result. There is not a single principle in any scripture that it may or may not happen. Only conclusion drawn on the basis of some past information by some gamblers for sattebazi, gambeling etc. may be regarded as science or appropriation or approximation. But this is not the case with astrology. If astrologer may predict that some incident may happen or may not happen then what is the use of such conclusion. Science of appropriation / approximation is the initial stage for acquiring any knowledge. Whereas astrological principles like lordship, friendship, aspect, exalted, Dasha etc. are principles followed by all astrologers and without any exception or probability. But cunning astrologers have devised many new terminology that it is Vedic, it is science and even (presently) day to day predictions are based on transit of Saturn and Mars. So astrological prediction are only befooling exercise and not more then this. Even astrological predictions are not up-to the proverbs. >>>>>>> do you think all the lab tested science are immortal. They too are proved wrong by another scientist in a deffered date.<<<<<<<< Actually science is a consolidation of latest knowledge based on some theories (when it is not proved), based on some formulas (when it can be checked with some calculation) and based on some principles (which can be proved beyond any doubt with latest level of information). But before science every thing was covered by myth (which is a stage below from theory). Thus you can say that improvement of knowledge of human civilization has to follow the route of myth, theory, formula and principle respectively. Thus every myth is a principle so long we don't know about any theory, formula or principle; or every principle is myth if we came to know some fault in the principle after sufficient ancillary knowledge. Thus predictive astrology, which was based on primitive myth (which was actually having the status of principle in primitive age) about universe, sun, moon etc.; can not be pushed against our latest level of knowledge based on physical principles. Thus when it was an accepted principle (now it is myth) in Primitive age that Earth is stationary and Sun is nearer then Moon, Constellations are nearer then Mercury and so on; and all astrological principles were formulated around this the then principle. Then how you can push those astrological principles (now myth) in present era when we know that Earth is rotating around the Sun, Sun is far away then Moon, Const. are not even in our galaxy and so on. Thus every astrological principle is now baseless but surviving due to weak self-confidence of human-being, business associated with astrology and due to advertisement associated with business, psychological correctness of any prediction and so on. But how a wave against astrology can survive when there is no involvement of business which reduces advertisement campaign (like this forum). Thus so long humans with weak self confidence and businessman astrologer will be their on the Earth no body can save those humans from exploitation by the astrologers. Only education and knowledge can save them from being cheated. Hence this forum is discussing logically any point relating to astrology and trying to inform about the hollow foundation of astrology, which I could find after sparing 35-40 years. Thus I am not concerned with any result either in favour or against astrology or any personal experience. Because some one may have positive views but without any logical answer and some one may have opposite views but again without any logical answer for their stand. Hence nothing can be concluded. But I am concerned with the basic principles ie. Lordship, aspect, friendship, exalted, rahu ketu and so on. (You can also read a file " Astrology a science or myth " lying in file section, which is the building block of predictive astrology). Thus if initial information on which whole structure of principles was erected is wrong then how end product may be right? >>>>>>>I am from a land where rationalism was at its height in India<<<<<<<< Yes, you are right but to maintain this rationalism you have to find as to why and how all astrological principles were formulated with very logical and rational approach. I am sure that you have that capacity so you may have to find / read these answers if not convinced with my answers as to why and how these principles were formulated. Because astrology is surviving only due to faith towards scripture. So far I have discussed with many astrologers and none of them is beyond faith. So to maintain Indian rationalism one must be logical. You may read various SOA_______ files to know the stand taken by the supporters of astrology. Regarding your views on >>>>>>>>>influence of planets on earth and human?<<<<<<<< you may refer " SOA-15 Affect of planets " lying in file section and come forward with your stand. Remember that nothing is personal and it is only an academic discussion. If you like then please give a little introduction about your-self.
