RegardsNeelam2009/7/21 Anand <anand.ghurye Dear Friends , I just watched the interview of Mr. K. N. Rao on the TV . He discussed the upcoming eclipse . I know Mr. Rao to be an astrologer of repute , have read many of his books and have personal respect for him . Still I feel that he did disservice to astrology in giving this interview , where he made categorical statement that the eclipse did not do any harm to pregnant women and had no effect on the offspring . He put forth a view that moving around outside at the time of the eclipse was not at all harmful to the pregnant women or the child they carried . He went on to say that even birth during eclipse was not bad . Further he alleged that as there would be 9 to 10 eclipses every year , every pregnant woman would at some time or other would be exposed to eclipse rays and as they did not all give birth to deformed children so eclipse time birth was no problem . Faulty logic , wrong examples ,and confused generalization ! There is a child born who hardly gets to see his father , because his father and mother do not get along well and are separated for all practical purposes , his mother is too busy to take proper care of him due to her work pressures , he grows up and pursues a career of his liking but has to cut short his career to take up family business reluctantly , his younger brother dies in an accident , his mother is dies in gunfire , and he himself is blown to pieces in a bomb explosion - do you call that a lucky horoscope ? Mr. Rao did that . He gave this as an example of lucky chart . The chart of late Rajiv Gandhi who was born exact one month after eclipse . Mr. Rao said that he had innumerable cases of children born during eclipses having had no misfortunes or problems in life . We ll , he has not published his study and how many does he mean by innumerable is subject to debate . Question mark . He exaggerated the number of eclipses each year . All eclipses are not seen from all parts of the earth . So not even are mentioned in the almanac . If you see the past three years record you will see that a large portion of the world remained outside the eclipse belt almost all the time . Lastly we keep talking about variety of yogas in Jyotish . We say that a planet gets combust a certain degrees away from the sun and attribute so many qualities to such a situation and then when moon and sun are exactly conjoint , Mr. Rao says that there are no effects ! Faulty logic ? Sorry Mr. Rao can't buy your conjectures this time around Regards , Anand A. K. Ghurye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 Dear Neelamji , Again wrong logic . I have pointed out that Mr. Rao's reasoning was internally inconsistent and you want to prove him right using external information . Even if no scripture /ancient book mentions nothing about bad effect of eclipse , does not make Mr. Rao's opinion correct . It is internally inconsistent with the definitions of yoga , yuti , pidhan yuti and combustion . Regards , Anand A. K.
