Believing in religion is completely different than believing in superstitions. Religion is a way of life, people prefer/follow one religion to decide the ways/values/morals of life, in a quest to search for a better life and death. I am not talking about the extremists, but at least for commoners, that's what and why they practise religion (be it Hindu, Muslim, Sikh or Christians).

But believing in superstitions is completely different. Most of the time it doesnt have any purpose or logic than to trouble people or to extort them. Previously pandits used to really 'know' stuffs and astrology (I am talking about 1000/2000 yrs back, the beginning of Arya sabhyata), but now they become monks and nuns to earn money. It's a quick business for them to fool people by asking them to do extra puja, yogya, wear stones in hands or perform some rituals about which they themselves dont have any idea.

PK, OMG these movies showed the difference between superstitions and actual 'faith' in a very delicate way. Parents are God to us. They have a physical appearance. But that is not why they are God to us but it is because of the energy, values and inspirations they trigger in us is exactly why they are worshipped by us. It is upto individual whether they would idolize that faith in the physical form of their parents or have it in them as a source of power. No one can judge or question that. But in the name of faith if somebody comes and tells me 'You do this else you will be harmed' - that is unacceptable. And believing in the third wheel is superstition I think. Astrology is science, but no one knows it anymore. The day the babas give advise free of cost for the genuine welfare of the society, I will start trusting them. Also there are co-incidences, because a cat crosses a path and somebody died after that in so and so place, doesnt mean it becomes a bad omen. It's accident.

Above is completely my opinion. Sorry if that hurt anyone as it's a sensitive topic and no one is right or wrong in an abaolute way.

Wow .. for a change, a good discussion on this forum.

I have been of faith and not of faith, at different times in life. I guess both have their challenges but its good to be of faith in the normal human way and not going extremes. So, if marrying a tree gives you peace of mind, then I may or may not agree with it, but go for it and live peacefully. The only thing being don't cut the tree because we need trees and it isn't poor tree's fault that someone is maanglik.

By the way, have you guys ever met a good astrologer in today's times? I've met a few astrologers but can't say for sure how right/wrong they were because they kinda leave things open to interpretation.

Astrology and religion overlap.

Astrologers advise wearing coral stone Ganesh statue ring to protect. They also advise chanting Hanuman Chalisa and visit certain temples.

They teach to worship Lord Shiva or keep vrat on certain days ..

Most astrologers keep pictures of dieties, esp Lord Ganesh, Hanuman. In the West this might not be case but in India it is so. In any case, everything is connected each other through energy..hence religion and astrology too...why not?

People talking about deaths occuring even if one does matching horoscopes etc or pujas...many things influence this universe and the being who lives in it. A part of our lives is destiny...BUT destiny can be Influenced and changed by our present ACTIONS. OUR destiny which pandits predict is based on our PAST incarnations. Pandits cannot predict 100 % because the way we act now is in OUR hands. If we know we hv to go thru certain phases and we prepare instead of giving up, we can influence that outcome for the positive.

Karma is an ongoing process. One can influence and alter karma of past by doing the opposite action to what caused that karma.

A very holy sage who has gained thru rigorous practise, a lot of power and control over elements, can take on another person's karma and reduce it...

Read Autobiography of a Yogi by Paramhansa Yogananda..it has a fascinating knowledge about the miracles which can be manifested. Miracle after miracle. In that book also the Yogi tells of people who don't believe even if they meet a holiest of sages. It is that person's choice. No one can force belief. He explains about materialising and dematerializing objects..like Sai Baba used to

. He tells about how he got a premonition about a young boy pupil in his ashram not to let him go home, but the boys parents didn't listen and when the teacher was out of town, the parents forcibly took him home.

The boy after a mobth while at home contracts Asiatic cholera and dies.

The boy had told the teacher if he ever died he has to find him and again teach him to be a sanyasi. So he tries to tune in to the energy of the universe and find out if the boy is reborn...

After many months of trying he catches the vibration of the previously dead boys soul and is led to where a mother has given birth to a boy.

The boy when he grows older willingly goes off to the ashram.

There are so many accounts like this and the great gurus materializing and dematerializing. If one us willing to know, there are countless sources to learn.

Those Bachchans are a backward ass family who are pitiful to look at.
I can't stand them at all. Ice queen fits right in.

@bold- even in that book there was a mention of an incident where Yogananda's Guru, sri Yukteshwar maharaj recommended an astrological bangle for one of Yogananda's acquaintances who was seemingly, fit in health, visibly, but was actually on death-bed...and the remedy worked exactly as his Guru had said.

Even if ash did get married to a tree i believe it was done with consent. Ash wasnt MADE to do that.

Even if Amitabh made this demand for her daughter in law be married to a tree then her daughter in law is equally participant in the act! .. Why is Amitabh just blamed? and anything conseual is not zulm or something.

If Ash did get married to a tree i believe it was with consent of both families and no one has any right to call them superstitious or whatever! Apni marzi yaar unki! 😆

Yes. Also gems like sapphire..young paramhansas friend is told to get sapphire stones and wear to ward off his death but he refuses, being a nonbeliever, then he gets really ill with TB and told by doctor he wont live, and begs Sri Yukteswor to heal him which he does after a lot.of pleading..those days in early 20th century there was no proper cure or antibiotics like now.

Another great book on spirituality is The Fakir by Ruzbeh Bharucha..and it's sequel ..The Fakir ..the journey continues..

It's great for those in the healing profession..reiki, etc. And for those who want to know about karma, life after death, redemption, reincarnation.

It is only written physically by Ruzbeh..the whole content is channeled from His Holiness Shirdi Sai Baba.

Modern psychics from the West say the same things as our ancient gurus did long ago...about life and death. We have our devas, apsaras, garudas etc ...they call them angels, power animals, spirit guides ...as do they say there are other universes, beings...Yukteswor himself reveals to Paramhansa that he is now in another planet teaching...it's all knowledge from a common source!

reincarnation is now getting accepted because of proof from past life regression..therapy ..taped live ...utube is full of recordings..but those whose time has not come to believe they will not..those who do, hv material at their disposal to pursue their knowledge..incurable phobias hv been healed just be visiting the past life cause of the phobia. Like drowning, or being buried alive in landslide, or dying in a plane crash, car crash etc.
