Point for discussion

[Guest guest]

Respected members of the forum,

Namaskar,

First of all I welcome to all new members who joined our forum for vibrant

discussion on astrology. They can find the direction of discussion in this forum

from msg no. 1 or file " Astrology a science or myth " along with SOA_______ files

in file section, other msgs.

 

This aim of the forum is to analyze present status of astrology with a view to

find as to whether it is vedic, scientific as is claimed and advertised by the

astrologers not only in various forums but also through media, book, magazine

etc.. So many members have taken part and exchanged their valuable views. Now it

is your turn to come out with your views for proper exchange of views.

 

Indians have deep rooted faith on sages and their wisdom but perhaps 1% members

have ever studied any scripture except some magazine and visiting some

astrologer with their own stories as to how their predictions came true.

 

Faith without study is blind faith. So with due regards to our sages and their

knowledge (because it is our heritage, hence we can neither deny it nor

disregard it), we have to find out as to how sign was devised, what was the

basic knowledge of our sages at the time of formulating these principles and

probable time, what sort of procedure was adopted for formulating basic

principles like sign, sign lord, aspect, friendship, exalted, Vinshottary dasha,

Rahu ketu etc. So that basic principles may be modified if required and this

can only be done only after knowing the procedure and only then we can workout

any mistake in procedure, data etc.

 

I will like to request amateur and sincere members, who are just interested in

astrology or just studying it as a hobby to take active part in discussion

otherwise they are going to loose a good opportunity to know the baseless

foundation of the astrology and they may take some wrong decision on the basis

of horoscope, which may affect their life. Do not wait for some other members to

ask or question the issue. In that case you will never learn any thing. Do not

hesitate for any views because this forum is not screening your views before

allowing your msg. You can use your language. Do not hesitate with your language

because it is not a forum to analyze your language. Until unless you will ask

your point, your mind will not be clear about any thing. Remember every question

is a gateway of knowledge. We are not asking you to change your mind-set or

business but at least you or I can improve your / our knowledge by proper

exchange of views. Remember next generation is not going to follow blind-faith.

So try to pass on the correct knowledge to next generation.

 

After hearing from the members on above starting points or any other point of

their liking may be raised and we will systematically analyze and exchange the

views on the point and slowly move to other points.

 

In last I will like to request members that please be within the frame of

analyzing any principle instead of throwing some useless msgs, sentences, filthy

language etc. which has nothing to do with the point of discussion. Try to

support your point logically, scientifically but not as a blind faith or as your

mind set. Try to distinguish mind set and knowledge.

 

Members can as usual invite their friends in the forum, take opinion on any

point from other forums and share their views on my email too. Hope to have

vibrant and useful discussion in coming days.

 

thanks

 

Yours truly,

Sanat
