BELIEVING VEDIC ASTROLGY.
BELIEVING VEDIC ASTROLGY. In my experience of over 5 decades, I was surprised to find many Christians (Ms. Komilla Stutton; Mr.Andrew Foss of U.K.; Herr. Roeland de Looff of Holland; Mag Maria Mathis Luise of Austria; Howard Beckman, Christina Collins, Gary Gomes, Vaughn Paul Manley from U.S.A) countries like U.S.A ; U.K.; and AUSTRALIA have high respect to Vedic Astrology and mastered that science, practising as vedic astrolgers and got benefited. Some of them stayed in India for 3 to 5 years and learnt astrology under master -astrologers in India. There are many Colleges and Univerities offering degrees like M.S. and Ph.D. in Vedic Astrology. World-renowned Astrolgical Societies like BAVA (UK); ACVA (U.S.A); C.V.A (Melbourne; Austrlia) have thousands of memers mostly (95% or more) who are Christians. So I convey my Best Wishes to them all. I admire their wise way of deriving benefits from Vedic Astrology, though they follow Christian relgion and belong to foreign counties and alien cultures. Even ancient Greek and Persian scholars stayed in India for 5 to 10 years and mastered Vedic astrology under the guidance of Saint astroloers in Gurukula system. One Greek scholar who came with Alexander (Greek invader during 350 B.C) learnt astrology for 5 years and wrote a book on Vedi Astrology; he was respected as Yavana-acharya (Professor Greek Philosopher) and even now we have that book widely red. Even in countries like China, Korea, Japan have many astrologers. Two pilgrims-tourists, Phahiyaan and Huan Tsang visited India and spend 10 t0 15 years in India visiting holy centers of Budhism. Phahiyaan (625-37 AC) stayed in the royal Court of Emperor Sri Harsha (Devanam Priya) during 625-37 AC. With his patronage, he got copies of tens of thousands of books on Buddhism, philosophy, Vedic astrology , Vastu and Ayurvedic medicine on palmyraha / bhoorja leaves, prepared by 1500 scholar-writers for ten years and traspored them on 300 mules from Kanoj (capitol city) to his home-land China. Even, now they are securely preserved and stored in an air-conditioned library. So the Chinese medicine and astrology, architecture developed in China are based on these sciences described in these Indian books. In India, I find over 95% people (ignorant of Vedic Astrology) mostly Hindus find it a fashion to scoff at Vedic Astrology, Ayurveda Medicine and Yoga exercises. There was huge commotion and revolt from all most all political parties and many Indian people, mostly Hindus, when B.J.P. minister Prof. Murali Manohar Joshi, Ph.D. (in Physics) and Prof. Yash Pal, Ph.D, (U.G.C. Chiarman) wanted to introduce Vedic Astrology in Colleges and Universities in India. only as an elective subject (not compulsory subject) during 1999-2001 or so. Even India’s Supreme Court gave a wise judgement allowing introduction of Vedic Astrology as an elective subject in Indian Universities and Colleges. There are dozens of Uiversities offering Vedic Astrology courses in U.S.A. like Florida Vedic College and American Institute of Vedic Astrology, Los Angeles. I then remembered the popular saying “ Fools scoff while wise persons get benefited”. I found dozens of Indian Professors with M,D., and Ph.D. Degrees in Medicne, Science and Engineering from reputed foreign Universities (U.S.A; U.K) mastered astrology. example: Dr. K.S.Charak, M.D. (Surgery); F.R.C.S. (U.K). Prof.Dr. Tangirala Gopala Krishna Murthy. Ph.D., (Mathematics) (U.K); Prof. Dr. Komaragiri Venkata Ramana Rao, Ph.D.(Electronics, Nuclear Physics and Radio-Pharmacy). Prof. K.Gopala Krishna Murthy. Ph.D. (Mathematics), Prof. Pidaparthi Dakshina Murthy. M.Tech. (Chemical Technology). These enlightened persons earned natilonal reputation as scientists (with many research publications and Ph.D. Degrees awarded under their guidance), and also as expert astrologers with many original publications in Vedic Astrology. So I will be happy if wise people get benefited from Vedic Astrology guidance from real experts. (There are millions of quack-astrology-practioners everywhere all over the world, swinding the people). Let (millions of) fools scoff at our Indian culture, vedic learning and age-old wisdom and knowledge. Let us ignore them ! There is a wise saying “ We find trillions and trillions of stone pebbles everywhere; we very rarely find invaluable gems among them !” Aum Thath Sath ! (Aum! That is Truth) --------------------------
