Corporate Jyotish

January 5, 2001

Hi Folks,

I just got my new TMA and saw an ad for free charts online, on the web,

and that the site was a part of GeoVision software. Being as they are my

#1 competitor, I had to look/see.

I did. I saw a slick site, that gives good stuff, for what it promises.

It's very commercially delivered Jyotish. Basic, but good. All nicely

laid out.

The gems are automatically reccomended. Gosh, for me it did not mention

Yellow Saphire as a top 3 choice, though I have Jup in 9 in Sag. Maybe

it thought "that doesn't need fixin"

I don't know.

Kindof spooky. Online corporate sponsored Jyotish charts, readings, gem reco's.

The half owner of PL is a ultra wealthy gem miner/dealer in India, so

big in the field, that it doesn't matter who you buy from, he probably

makes money. (that's what they tell me)

Scary.

I guess it's getting tighter in this market. Squeezier. Maybe one day

Bill Gates will want to make money off Jyotish online too. Imagine if

Microsoft turned their attention to Jyotish software?

Would that be good?

Hmmm.

I guess it's going to get harder for little single me to eak a living

out of this. If this rich gem dealer keeps pumping money into PL like he

has been for the last few years, in order to propogate the gems as karma

fixes thing on earth, might end lil 'ol Das's reason to exist, if too

many sales go their way, due to having money pumped into their software

development (it's not as if Mickel wrote everything in PL 2000, no, it

was a team hired by this gem guy, who I'm sure is sponsoring these now

two automated websites related to Geovision).

They even have "Let us pay you" trip for linking/sending people to their

site, and so on. It's all very corporate, modern, commercial.

I guess I know at least now that I have to go the other way. I guess I'm

glad they are making it clear to me that the commercial route they've

taken, so I have to stay more scientific/spiritual in my approach. I

guess I like that. I guess my Lord is still in charge of my life. I

guess that's cool. I guess I still see God doing everything. I guess I'm

OK with that!

Peace and Love,

Dear Das,

I've read your post, and I am really shaken- we live in Kali- Juga,

definitively. I can relate to every word you wrote, and I really don't know what

to say- if there is any way to preserve life and soul if those commercial,

unscrupulous magnates (or...), misuse everything worthwhile- without integrity,

compassion, moral, there are so many of those exploiting human weakness,

ignorance, misery...

I will tell you my story: I've been in a very difficult period and jyotish

astrologer whom I consulted recommended

pearls as a remedy for my afflicted Moon in Scorpio, Lagna lord. And recommended

some jyotis astrologers and vedic gem-dealers..I surfed the web myself, too.

They are asking for $150 for ONE, single, fresh water pearl- of course, I found

that when I asked- the offer was always "natural pearl", "dearest ..., I want to

help you with this"- and "natural" pearls are illegal to harvest, difficult to

find, and all pearls are cultured nowadays, and salt water pearls are far more

valuable than fresh water pearls... And one can well find salt water necklace

for that price- and due to my current situation I've had money-problems, as

well... Of course I didn't buy, but it was so disgusting experience...and when I

think that they are proclaiming themselves as "healers", helping people in the

name of Krishna...I recently met a person

who wanted to contact one of them for reading and gem- I didn't hesitate to tell

him my experience, and opinion, hoping that I am doing something for the sake of

morality.

They may well make more money, you cannot do anything about that- you'll always

have enough appreciative people around, hopefully, able to see what's false and

what's true. (I hope the same for myself, and all honest people- unless the

world is coming to an end...)

I still believe that we all should tell the truth, our opinion, and it will grow

as a snowball and hopefully spread enough to reach as many people as possible.

Thanks for sharing this.

Marry Christmas to you, dear Das, and to everyone on the List!

Anna
