Namaste Mr.Sharma and respected members

 

It will be decent enough, if the concerned astrologer and others who have been engaging in such acts, could refrain from repeating similar acts in the future.

 

It is true that none of us are perfect and as human beings are within the realms of limitations.

 

However it is Lord's kindness that, we have been bestowed with a few drops of divine wisdom (which knowledge of astrology definitely is).Are we also expected to maintain and uphold some basic ethical standards in return?. It may be worth contemplating.

 

The moment we start to consider astrology as a commodity/product our focus takes a diffrent route, without our notice.Attracting more customers needs marketing. Market has different sets of rules altogether. Obviously jyotish principles and ethics will be sidelined by the power of ''artha''.

 

One may not be against any group or organization that conducts conferences, workshops, publishing papers, lectures etc. If done with the right intention , it will only serve the good cause of astrology.

 

However in reality this has not been the case always. Astrologer is mainly interested in ''selling''.

 

If i try to sell the ''simple'' but deep rooted and sound astrological principles will i find any customers ? No.

 

However if i can offer colourful, complex and ''secret'' principles, no matter how far i go in violating fundamental principles,i could always find a long queue. But how long can i sustain ?

 

This ''market'' factor and eagerness is the root cause, which has resulted in the stooping of many astrologers , who are otherwise blessed. It inadvertently inflates our ''creativity' '.Sadhana and tapas gives way.

 

We may note that fundamentals are simple but sound.

 

We do not have to market, paint, wrap or decorate astrology. We may Share and learn astrology as it is.There is nothing to invent. There is a lot to discover.Enough substance for Janmantaras.

 

As a side note ,it is also very sad to see how people are running own lists, just for the purpose of humiliating others. One should understand that, the ones who are trying to correct us, are the ones who loves us.Humiliating them will be of no help for anyone. Only the grace of a true and Sad Guru can show us light and save from such ignorances.

 

Regards

Pradeep
