Why Astrology is Highly Misleading and Harmful

 

As I gain more and more metaphysical insights by an intensive study of

Sacred Tamil , I also find myself disagreeing more and more violently

with Vedic Astrology and such other pseudo-sciences.

 

I just completed the study of some verses of Tayumanavar’s

Secrets of Sitambaram and which again opened up my eyes with regard to

the True Way,, the San Maarkkam and which is definitely not the Way of

Vedic Astrology and so forth. The present day Hindu life including that

of Tamils appears to me so corrupted with superstitious belief systems

that the True Hinduism is hardly visible as a living reality.

 

My present comments follow my study of Tayumanavar at :

You can see that Tayumanavar also includes the Vedic Rishies as one

those groups of people who enjoyed Transductive Perceptions and in

which they also gain an understanding of BEING that is beyond any doubts

and so forth. Such an understanding also bestows them with various

kinds of psychic powers and quasi muktis and where finally the Real

Moksa is granted.

 

The implication here is that Vedic Astrology not only DENIES such

visions of the Thrid Eye but also MISLEADS people AWAY from seeking to

attain such capacities and with that gain visions of the Games BEING

plays in the world, understanding which constitutes understanding BEING

itself.

 

The Vedic Astrology does not make people think that it is BEING who

manages their life and that they can overcome their sufferings and so

forth only by gaining the AruL of BEING, the Grace of BEING.

 

Astrology takes people away from BEING through false promises and in

that causes their FALL and hence suffer more misfortunes and so forth.

 

This also goes against temple Worship where Icon Thinking is promoted.

As a person worships a deity and later seeks to UNDERSTAND the MEANINGS

encrypted in the icons, he slowly draws closer to BEING and when the

time is ripe his Third Eye will be opened ip and where he can witness

BEING and the various games he plays directly. When further inquiries

follow with respect to the MEANINGS of these games, then the Njaanam

flourishes and the soul becomes PURE and CLEAN with less and less of the

polluting Malam.

 

As Astrology does not promote this kind of Icon Thinking, it becomes

very harmful for the souls- it causes the FALL and throws them more and

more into the grips of Malam, the Satan (to put metaphorically) and

which brings more miseries and sufferings.

 

This raises the question: While astronomy and the devising of more and

more accurate calendars and the celebrations of festivals and so forth

are quite consistent with the Right Way, but most certainly not

astrology- it is in fact very injurious to genuine religious life. Then

why the Vedic Brahmins promote it and mislead the people? I believe the

Brahmin in promoting such nonsense have become very superstitious

indeed.
