Rational Logical reasoning ......Sri Narasimha

June 22, 2004

Dear "nameisego",

The equivalent of what you are trying to say below is like one going into a

surgery on the assumption that all doctors are alike and logical and well

versed in medical practise therefore you can afford to go in for surgery

without even seeing who the doctor is when you have a chance to do so before

hand.

Needless to say the answer is clear. No. You will never put yourself to such

a risk. This is because your medical case could be very personal and

specific. A generic "logical" assumption will not apply here to you and you

would never want to take a risk like that.

Vedic Astrology is very much like that. It depends on context, person's

upbringing and background. You cannot apply a generic anonymous rule without

trying to understand where and from whom it came in the first place. Without

this words like "a fine astrologer" mean nothing. It could be as well that

anonymous surgeon whom you have never seen.

Thats why we emphasize the uniqueness of each chart so much. Moon &

nakshatra is so important for each person because that almost defines the

entire world as seen from their point of view. In short that is their world

into which they wake up each day and go back to sleep every night. Its never

the same for two or more persons.

Applying material logic based on material frame of reference may not help

you in any manner. Vedic Astrology does not even attempt to define anything

as being standard across a human boundary. Its all about your own world as

seen and realized by your own consciousness. It has nothing to do with

anyone or anything even outside your mind or physical body. Its all about

you. So abstract questions, with philosophical tinge will not help you much.

Try to see why you are being made to think so in the first place ?

Logical reasoning works only if that logic itself is defined with a frame of

reference. For economists, that frame is the entire world economic system.

They do not bother about who is selling cheese on Moon because it does not

matter to them as of today. In Vedic Astrology we can define that boundary

as your soul's origin and destination ( neither of which we know as of today

by known means ). So the logical foundation itself is undefined. Hence,

"scientific" priciples of "material world" cannot be applied with accuracy

unless you know what you are really trying to look at.

I am sure there are lots of volunteers who will be willing to give you a

reading if you want to share your birth info in this list.

Regards,

Raju
