Guest guest Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 Since you responded to my message (see below thread) in which I had askeda question about the testing and applicability, perhaps even the relevance of this tenet as or if it applies to modern men born in Sweden or China -- I was hoping to get a specific answer. Did I not get it or am I missing something from your well-crafted message? Please correct the situation, either way!

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 Namaste RR "Modern Men" of Sweden or China? Really!! Modern in what aspect? in that they believe only in what their sense present before them or in what the "modern sciences" present before them. Astrology is an ancient science, originating from the Vedas, which is considered to beyond the defects of time and space. Your assume that "modernity" with its tag of superiority exists only in the west. Western civilisation has risen only in the twentieth century, a fraction of the history of man, and mostly an history of subjugation, exploitation and extermination!!! The "modern man of china"!! I assume is the man who is caught up in the recent "modernisation" of china. Astrology is a science beyond temporal and spatial differences. regards arun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
