Guest guest Posted July 8, 2003 Report Share Posted July 8, 2003 Dear Member, A great burning desire to learn Astrology and never ending restlessness to attain the final knowledge ,coupled with indescribable love and thirst for gaining "real" knowledge of the subjectmatter , I believe is the qualification to be a student of Astrology.

Guest guest Posted July 8, 2003 Report Share Posted July 8, 2003 Dear Members, Why should we be so judgemental in the first place? I really cannot understand why all the Astrology books talk about teaching astrology only if the person is good etc. Who are we to judge whether a person is good or bad ? Lets leave all the judging part to GOD. I guess it is only the result of the probable presence of 'caste system' which classified people based on who they are and what they are born with. Ofcourse but that is the basis of Astrology isnt it? Judging a chart is basically judging what a person is born with. Personally speaking, because of this I am always in two minds whether to really go deep into Astrology, as a learner or otherwise. God forbid, if I become like one of those who judge someone good or bad (based on chart) and decide whether he or she is suitable to learn astrology. How castiest ! Just approach Astrology with enthusiasm and interest and good clean intentions.

Guest guest Posted July 8, 2003 Report Share Posted July 8, 2003 Dear AC, I do not find the logic behind your saying the castiest bit. The shlokas telling whom to teach astrology do not mention anything about caste. Do you have any shlokas mentioning this? Please let us have them so that everybody's knowledge grows.

Guest guest Posted July 8, 2003 Report Share Posted July 8, 2003 Dear Chandrashekhar, It is not 'cast' per say. BUT see what is the principle involved in caste system? Discrimate against a person because of where he is born....i.e. judge/discrimate against someone because of what he is born with and hence does not have any control over. Hence I said 'castiest'. Because when we say a person is bad/good as per his/her chart and not as per his/her actions then obviously we are being castiest. So if we follow the shoklas which say that only a 'good' person deserves to learn astrology then it is like re-enforcing some past negative attritubes of our culture, namely the cast system or the castiest way of dealing with people. I hope i could put my point across clearly. Thanks, AC --- Chandrashekhar Sharma <boxdel wrote: > Dear AC, > I do not find the logic behind your saying the > castiest bit.
