Calling me superstitious is ridiculing our Indian knowledge and ancient wisdom.
This land was famous with renowned astrologers like Varahamihira who made accurate predictions based on Astrology.
What saddens me that Indians have become so engrosses in materialism that they have forgotten our wise heritage. For them what you see is what you get...but there are many forces that are operating at a unseen level...universe talks to us through different omens...as it can not talk trough languages...it was called Shakuna Sashstra or science of omens ...it was observed by sages who lives in laps of nature and saw when certain occurrences occur certain things follow it...even the westerners now know that cats have uncanny power to know a coming earthquake etc. Indians have given this branch of study to the world. Now many cheats impose themselves as astrologers for easy monetary gain...but that does not make the Study of astrology fraud...as if there is a fraud doctor...the study of medicines cannot be called fraud or false.
What is blind belief...it is when you believe something without examining it...right...what is now prevalent is blind disbelief...dismissing something as superstition without any knowledge abt it...now if I have not seen Pluto does not mean Pluto does not exist...similarly what is hidden to view is still there..
Now you will ask me how feeding people will lessen your sufferings...to explain it...let me tell you god has a justice system called karma...when we do some injustice towards people in one life we earn bad karma and even after death though our body perishes, the soul is reborn with the same bad karma with a new body, and this person suffers bad fate for the past bad karmas he did...now to compensate it , if you do random acts of goodness and charity, then those bad karmas gets balanced by good karma and the suffering lessens...just like a teacher punishes a child. but later if he studies well and conducts himself well. the same teacher forgives . These are called upaya.
You must have heard of infamous Sadesati...people really suffer in that period ...why because Saturn. the planet of justice, teaches them to behave ethically by punishing people for bad karmas and astrologers advice extreme good conduct for the individual.
So dismissing these as superstitions is not wise.
As per the show, they show it to create comedy and Pandit Ramphal is expert in his knowledge, but as he is in old age, he mistakenly sees someone else's horoscope and so theses upayas do not work on Tiwari.
