Vedic Astrology : Open Thread

Vedic Astrology is about 2500 years old and at that time, they had very precise calculations for positions of stars and planets from any geograhical location. So they know what is planet is at what position at any give time.

Except, of course, all the stars and planets they didn't know existed 2500 years ago.

Which is why astrology is so much more precise and accurate these days...

NOT!
 
Hm, no! ManLondon clearly said that the travel happened two months after the prediction and that it was planned with a short notice.

Absolutely correct. There had never ever been any discussion of me going to London. I was really given 2 weeks to go to London from the day it was first mentioned. Had to sort out medical, visa etc. Did not even get a chance to meet parents before I boarded on the plane. But did get great goodbye from girlfriend:)
 
There is a personal interest as well. I have found this website after much research and testing and this is miles ahead of others.

You should probably not have written that if you wanted to be taken seriously.

How many other sites did you research and test and what made you conclude that one was much better than all the others?

I hope you didn't try a bunch and pick the one that seemed to be closest to correct.....
 
You say she had had this problem since age 12-14 years of age and the astrologer said she had it from the birth. How is that right?
Honestly, I donot know answer to this one. Maybe it manifested at that age which when sex organs in a female body start maturing.

Are you not ignoring the fact she had this problem in her life that too at such a young age.

Why is your friend going to the doctor once a week if it can't be treated?

An athelete does not stop running, even if he knows he is not going to top the race. We can only keep trying by making causes the effects depend on the actions. Bhagwatgita strongly speaks against inaction.
 
Yes most people in India can't afford to travel abroad. But well educated people can. Are you in that category? I am guessing that your dad is somewhat rich and has a higher social status than the average Indian. Now what are the chances of a proud Indian father bragging about his son when talking to an astrologer?

There is nothing amazing here. It is time for you to give up your sacred cow!

Sorry, with all respect, jumping on your wrong conclusions based on incorrect facts.

No one (including me, father and possibly even the management) knew nothing about this travel at that time.
 
ManLondon, would you be willing to send my personal details to the astrologer and then let me look at the results? I know my time of birth too!

But I'm confused. First you said that the astrologer told your friend about the medical condition and the fact that the other one was the Reiki healer. Then you said it was "through emails." Then you wrote that you inputted the information into a computer and it spit back the analysis within seconds. So which is it? Did they get a reading from the astrologer, or did a computer do the reading? What on earth are you talking about?

Yes, that would be no problem. I must say that lets go ahead only if you are sure about your birth time. I can post back some highlights from the predictions - either just to you or on the forum.


This should clear your doubts.

Process of ilimination and testing. Very basic but scientific method.

I am a true believer (and practise as well) of science and technology.

You know 2500 years ago, when Indians could calculate the movement of planets with such accuracy, modern scientists did not have a clue about these planets. Please research on ancient Indian texts, you will get the answers.

True, new stars are being discovered but they are NOT being invented.

You are the one who thinks a computer program can read the stars and predict your life in an heart beat.

You are the one in here that thinks saying "you will go abroad within 4 monts" is somehow paranormal. Psychics, astrologers and clairvoyants always say:You are going to travel". My mothers psychic said I was going to travel within one year. Did I? No. I was going to get a job I liked. Did I? No. I was going to be super rich. Well not yet any...

My mom still believes she was a genuine psychic because she started out with asking "who is Anders?" And yes that is me. Now that's a HIT! Not your travel, bladder, healing crap.
 
Recently, I met an Indian astrologer, whom I provided only my birth details and he did a Life Analysis and 3 years forecast for me. I was really shocked. It was so scary, everything was so very accurate and specific. Exact Dates, specific details! I was so very shocked.

So, did you meet the astrologer or not? Did you meet the others during your research and testing of astrologers?

No, I havent tried other astrological method or psychics. Donot believe them.

Does this mean that your research and testing was limited to vedic astrologers/sites?

I am sincerely sorry, if you felt bad about my message. There were no bad intentions. I got bit suprising to read the length to which the message went to guess.

Please no bad intentions or disrespect.

If I tell a mathematician, radius of a circle, and the speed at which an object is circling around it, he can calculate the position of the object at any given time t, using just a piece of paper and a pen.

Likewise, a program can be developed with the logic for these calculations. An then based on the calculations, it can also display the results. As simple as that.

NASA, probably the best in its field, would utilise computers to predict the trajectory of a rocket. Weather forecasting models use super-computers to do millions of calculations. We look at these forecasts on telly and possibly plan according to these forecasts. (At least we in UK do, because we have such a ◊◊◊◊◊◊ weather here)

I am not a believer in psychics. In every field, you will brilliant guys as well as novice or even charlatans.
 
Was he using vedic astrology (Indian astrology)? I cant vouch for other astrological predictions based on my research and experience.
No, actually Ian Rowland was not using any astrology at all! He just composed several pages of vague - but accurate sounding - descriptions and predictions couched in astrological jargon, and the both of the clients were happy!

In his book, Rowland describes several techniques for making predictions. The book is about cold reading, and most of it is about how to conduct this face-to-face and getting information out of the other guy without him noticing. But Rowland also has this chapter about writing predictions and descriptions without knowing anything about the other person, and it works most of the time, because people only see the hits and not the misses.
 
Do I understand you right? You think that a guy who is right about you leaving the country has paranormal powers. But a woman that "knows" the name of her clients son has no powers?

What is it in your claim that is "better" or more true than in any psychics claim?

Why can't we see more of these "super" letters you received? And why can't you tell us the name of the site?

Is it because you are afraid that we will get the same letter?

How would you feel if you have to stop believing in Vedic Astrology?
Is it frightening?
 
So, did you meet the astrologer or not? Did you meet the others during your research and testing of astrologers?
It was a mixture of different approaches. meeting face to face, speaking over the phone, contacting through emails, letters and through web sites.
Does this mean that your research and testing was limited to vedic astrologers/sites?

Broadly speaking yes. I did study some books on non-vedic astrology but was not convinced. Psychics never appealed to me. Because they seem to just get information and or suggest very vaguely or broadly.

I think some of you MAY be critising Vedic Astrology because
(a) you have very little information on Vedic Astrology
(b) A lot of you think Vedic Astrologers are like psychics who meet personally, ask questions and feed it back to you. No, absolutely not.

Most of the times, all a Vedic Astrologer knows is just the date and time of birth and makes horoscope from this information.

Then when a question is asked from the astrolger, he would do further calculations and give you his readings. He would not ask you 10 further questions.

And I never believed the Horoscope published in newpapers and mags.
There is no truth in it because you cant divide the whole population in 12 categories.

In Vedic astrology, every person gets his or her horoscope based on time and place of his birth (Time and Space is known parameter even in today's science to accuractly point towards an object.)

A person born 3 minutes later will have different horoscope.

This should tell you why I think what I think of psychis

I personally have had no interaction with them. My impression from the odd telly programs that I have watched on them.

I believe in Vedic Astrology because just based on birth time and place, he can predict. He doesnot even have to know or meet or spreak to the person at all. So less chance to him getting information - whether sublime, direct or through interaction with the clients.
 
Mojo, there are no alarm bells. For the record, I have had my predictions done from this website. I have no personal economic interest in this website.
I wasn't suggesting that you had any economic interest. I was just pointing out a pattern I've seen fairly often before: you made a claim that should have been very easy to substantiate (i.e. that there is a website that provides accurate predictions) but when asked to substantiate your claim by providing a link you started making excuses for not doing so.
