[quote="RishiRahul"][quote="rohiniranjan"][quote="basab"]Well, I agree that one should give the benefit of doubt to astrologers but I don't believe in any form of remedies whether it is stones or mantras. It's because I believe very strongly in the saying "Destiny is predestined". I don't think any remedy can change the course of destiny. Maybe I am wrong but that's what I believe.[/quote]
You may be right Basab, but then what do you see as the purpose of astrology? Other than remaining an intellectual exercise? Maybe that is all it is!

Dear Dada and Basab,
Sorry, if I may intrude. I did anyway.
What is the PURPOSE of astrology? Or of God? Or the sayings of different religions? Of so many Gods of so many Religions? Do think, ponder and tell, with retrograde insights if possible,
I hope they are not INTELLIGENT Creation of WISE HUMANS to help the more unwise humans to better thir lives.
Of course, the mathematical Science called Astrology, could be different.

Rishi,
First of all, this "party" is being held in Swetha's home and you are one of the hosts
We are guests and therefore, the question of 'intrusion' on your part does not arise. Agreed? I have always believed that public discussions should always involve many many viewpoints and not just two people talking/discussing. They might as well converse via email in that case
That aside, I sensed that Basab is of the opinion that everything is destined and will happen no matter what we do. Many hold that premise and without going into right or wrong, my dilemma is this. If indeed life is destined so rigidly and incontrovertably, then what is the point of astrology? It would not help at all. Why learn about the stars and planets and houses and discuss so much on so many forums when what will happen will happen. Such discussions are called by bengalis, "Galabaji" which when volatile individuals are involved soon turns into "Galagali" as I have seen on some less tolerant forums!
Jest aside, I have been remaining sensitive to this possibility also from very early days of my learning and though this is very preliminary at this time there is a faint possibility that shows up in charts that indicates that fate and free will are not equally effective in all charts or available to the nativity. Ergo, some remain capable of tapping into free-will a bit more than those whose experiences indicate otherwise. In other words neither viewpoints are perhaps wrong. What is wrong is they assume universality and apply their favourite view to everybody!
Of course I could be entirely wrong too, being human ...
