Guest guest Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 Namaskara, Below is a question by Sri. Badri Prasad. Could learned members and scholars provide suitable responses to this? Although i try to follow the Shastraic regulations based on what i get from elders, I am also eager in one sense to know the exact correlation between the purely scientific phenomenon and the concept of Parva Kaala and how this affects a person indirectly. Sincerly appreciate all responses. Thanks and Regards Rao. >From Badri Prasad <badriprasad wrote: > > Namaskara: > > Can you please explain why we should do this for a > purley scientific event of earth coming in the > between Sun and Moon?
