Rohini my apologies for not spelling your name right.. pardon me for the oversight.

Of coures Rohini you are right, esp liked your logic on birthdefect/autism.... wonder if astrologers have done a compartive study of horoscopes of autistic children and found similarity in planeteary alignments? Wouldnt that be an interesting study?

Also ceasarean births put paid to the notion that our birth is predetermined... LOL.. would u be able to explain this i.e. that we can chose our offspring's horoscope...

Of course i cannot find proof that time and place of death is predetermined but some strange incidents lead us to such ideas... for instance a person is so critically sick but he walks out alive goes home in the pink of health and dies for some other reason or an accident at some place else... thats what brought on this concept of predetermined place of death....

Would u recommend a good site or book to begin my study in vedic astrology? I have couple of books but am somewhat confused with the content and its BV Raman's "beginner's guide to astrology."

Dear Radha,

If astrologers (particularly those with a flair and understanding of research) were endowed with million and billion dollar grants to do research (like other scientists are) then perhaps they would have the resources to do what you ask :-)

What makes you think that cesearean births are all delivered truly by the surgeon's choosing? Explore that 'lay-myth' a bit more rigorously ;-)

And please do not use the ancient myth of Parashara seizing the golden moment while in a boat with Matsyagandha to procreate Vedavyaasa!

Let us deal in FACTS, particularly personally researched FACTS!

Rohini,

Have u read Robert Svobodha's book on Saturn??... Its a great book and gives us many insights into saturn's role in our lives.

I will reread that book this weekend and post some pertinent points for an invigorating debate..

I am aware of this book. Thanks in advance and looking forward for discussing further...

Regards,

RR

Thanks for the very interesting and useful article on Lord Shanidev. I have always in my heart felt that Shanidev can be Kind and Considerate. I have always had a soft corner for him.
