These two are superb pure modern science even though the  the prediction part is not a scientific subject. But it is saastra according to the Sanskrit definition. Astrology with its  prediction part has its origin almost in the middle century of the first millennia AD. Each and every aspects told us: that the earth is spherical, it has declination, rotation, revolution, latitude, longitude, colatitudes, meridian, right ascension, day line, north pole, south pole etc are discovered by the westerners  are day light lie. Each  aspect of the astronomical knowledge given in astrology is nothing but modern astronomy  which has been given  by our forefathers through their books which are still available in original Sanskrit and English translation, which are uploaded in IISH website www.iish.org. We were all wrongly taught in our school days that all the aspects connected with earth, sun and moon were discovered  by Copper Nicus, Galileo, Magellan, Kepleir and so on.  Our astronomical knowledge was superb which has been used by our forefathers for developing astrology.   ACHIEVEMENTS OF IISH: Lectures were organized in Trivandrum in two locations. Telephone connection was given to DSB LPSchool, kaiparambu, through IISH sponsored by Sri. G.K. Nair. The NHC park for the children has been  widened and improved  with many more items.  FUTURE PROGRAMS OF IISH: Lecture by Dr. N.

IISH has informed this message to one and all for the many years “ when Hindus are getting converted into other religion, we are worried and we protest. If the non Hindus are ready to come back and worship in  temples, why we are not allowing them?†this message is started going deep into the heart of the Hindus and many disciplined devoted non Hindus are coming for attending the functions in temples. Also remember the words of Swamy Chinmayaananda “ In India we have got only two categories of people. Those who are Hindus and those who were Hindus†NEW PROGRAM IN ASIANET: Morning 6.15 to 6.45 Swamy Bhoomaananda’s lecture on Bhagavatham 11th  skanda is being telecasted with scientific content as applicable for the modern world. Spread the message after verifying the time in your locality  QUOTATION FROM MAHATHMA GANDHI: If one Hindu got converted into Christianity, it is not a serious matter that the number of  Hindus decreased and that of Christian increased. The problem is that one enemy has been created for the Indian culture.  MORNING excellent lectures are telecasted in many channels on Bhagavatham, Bhagavath Gita and Upanishads. listen them. Your difficulty of learning them will be reduced. Inform all the Hindus, Christians and Muslims, leftists ,  rightists and atheists. They are all interested in listening these messages . Particularly the discourse can be listened  from our own drawing rooms beyond religious and political boundaries. They are of short duration too.  SUPERSTITION: Many people are asking the question through telephone / emailslike this: is anizham star  good ?, is aayilyam star bad for neighbors. ? Can we keep a cat in a house where pregnant women are living ? Can we give saafron (Kunkum) flowers to pregnant women? What will happen if two people having same star are living as neighbors?......... the answer for all the above question is very simple. In olden days we Keralites had enough problems like poverty, lack of education, heavy rain,  household  work, unemployment, etc etc. Now a days we do not have much problems. We have enough money, enough time, good house, good schools for our children, vehicles, enough luxuries…….. In short our day today pains and problems are very less. So now a days we are searching for problems for WORRYING. Without worries a KERALITE CANNOT LIVE.   Our only request is please do not send such queries to IISH. We have enough worries and problems due to the ‘the lack of time and high level of response from world over  for getting maximum knowledge on Indian heritage without superstition’. So let us worry about our worries and problems instead of searching solution for your above type of worries/ problems. (searching for the black cat which is not there in a dark room). There is a proverb “ self help is the best helpâ€.  Like this make another  “self worrying is the best worrying†and do not share  such type of worries with others.  YOUR QUESTIONS AND MY ANSWERS: How to live a happy life ? There is a good message in Sanskrit yath bhaava thath bhavathi = what you would like to be that you will become if you systematically struggle for that. Can we give the medicines advertised in TVs for improving the memory of our children ? Please do not give that. Memory can be improved by making your children remember as many things /messages / words / lines / poems / music/ subject matters etc. there is no single medicine in the world which can improve the memory as the advertisers say. Is the medicines suitable for extra growing power ? My only question is why you need extra growing power ?. Is it not enough to have the normal growing power ? We are searching for problems by feeding unnecessary food items to our children. Why we want 6 to 7 feet  for our children. Why not give them good vegetarian food and bring them upo as  normal healthy boys and girls. When should we start giving guidance to our children ? Better late than never. The best period is to start giving them the messages, experiences, stories from the age of 3. Slowly improve the doze. Answer all their questions. Never react negatively when they ask questions. Never answer the questions if you do not know the answer. Tell them “ I do not know the answer†if you really do not know. After  the age 9 give guidance, after the age 12 – 13,  then be with them like  a friend . Participate them in home decision making. Approve and appreciate  their qualities and abilities. Never force anything upon them at that age till they reach around 20. Remember how you behaved when you were at that age.  SUGGESTION: Let us listen to atleast one Veda in our life. Let us advise our temple advisory  members to play Bhagavath gita, Upanishad, Vedas in the morning and evening in temples instead of the age old songs and keerthans which none is interested to listen. At time also put the speeches of great scholars so that the temples become a learning centre. All those are available in www.iish.org or with iish centers  WITH PRANAAMS IISH COMMUNICATION TEAM  -- With pranams ! Dr. N. Gopalakrishnan, M.
