Guest guest Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 Dear Sir, How far is this true that for an Astrologer, it is mandatory to take Dakshina after reading every horoscope. One of my office co worker (who is a Vedic Astrologer) does this every time and says that its a rule of Astrology to take Dakshina otherwise the remedies provided to the native would not work. I feel very bad when a native comes to him and he says that he will predict only when the native will give him Dakshina of 1001 rupees. I am not saying that Astrologer should not take any thing in return because for some of the full time Astrologers, this is the only mode of earning. But, they should not predict for money only. Rich people, who are able to bear the expenses, can spend as much money required and it is not bad to take money from them (which most of the Astrologers do). What if a poor person is in need of correct remedies and he doesn’t have money. I know if remedies suggested to him require a Gem stone or a Kavach to be purchased then he has to spend some money because the Astrologer will not bear the expense himself. But, as far as prediction goes, I think this is the least thing the Astrologer can do for him. I believe that Astrology is a divine science and a medium to connect people to the God. It should be used to make people happy in life by showing them the right path. This is the reason why I am learning Astrology and I don’t intend to take any thing in return of that. Please guide me if I am doing any thing wrong. Seeking your blessings. Vinod. Ahhh...imagining that irresistible " new car " smell? Check outnew cars at Autos.
