Myths and Opinions

[Guest guest]

dear friends

 

as richardji rightly presented, everything a person buy is based on belief.

 

for example a person believes a simple round stone in the form of shivling or a

shaligram is an embodiment of shiva or lakshmi and worship it. another person

may simply call it stone.

 

many shani temples in india worship a simple iron rod or iron or similar metal

rock. even metals are worshipped by the believers.

 

even trees are worshipped by the believers like tulasi, bilva (bel) and peepal.

 

shivbhakts smear ash on the forehead and body and even ash is reverred and

worshipped.

 

animals too are worshipped like cow is a representative of all gods and

goddesses.

 

birds too are worshipped with the eagle as vahan of vishnu, peacock as vahan of

kartikeya etc.

 

stones of vaious colours are bought on the belief that they represent so and so

planet.

 

everythng in such mythicl items is purely based on belief and the sellers sells

only to the believers. if a person dont believe in this mythology and gemology,

then he wont visit a stoneseller.

 

with best wishes and blessings

gems having astrological powers YET to be scientifically proved.

cannot be presented as facts. In NO scripture or science is this valid. But, it

is correct to say that believers are of these varied opinions even though this

is NOT supported by any scripture nor science.

get the Nobel Prize. Until then it's just a jumble of baseless opinions, many of

which are nonsense, None of which are provable.
