I’ve noticed when it comes to Jyotish, when people share their experiences, they’re mostly negative and there’s already this preconceived notion that people have in their heads thanks to movies, shows and other people who have had bad experiences.
The ones like you are rarely brave enough to come forward with their positive experiences because they feel like they might be made fun of or ridiculed; or because they’d rather keep things to themselves or whatever.
But I do believe people shouldn’t dismiss a subject just because they don’t understand it or because movies/shows tell you to do so.
The issue is that when people go to these Pandits or Jyotishis they go with an attitude of this is too complicated for me to know, let alone comprehend enough of the basics that I might at least give it a rudimentary look.
People need to approach the subject in a clinical manner, like one would with a doctor or lawyer; don’t just consult one. Do your own research on what you want to know about as much as you can. Nowadays you can learn even via YouTube videos so much. You don’t buy expensive material or enrol in courses that you don’t need/want either.
But at least have some foundational knowledge of the subject to ask better questions, to grasp if you have met a true expert in the subject or a fraud. A genuine expert will know how to answer your questions and if asked respectfully will not mind your questions asked with your basic understanding of the subject matter. Rather they can get more specific, technical and explain you things better.
I believe in Kerala they practice a branch of Jyotish called Nadi Jyotish if memory serves me right. It’s one of the oldest surviving school of a traditional Indian ancient subject still practiced today. It’s believed to be very accurate and a very learned scholar of the field can give you even exact time frames for events that you might want to know about.
I am glad that you had such a positive experience with this subject and that you have such lovely uncle and aunt who would first of all share with your mum they found such a scholar and then treat you like a child of theirs too to even bother asking questions for your life and future. I know many who wouldn’t share even that they had learnt of such a scholar let alone that they were going to visit him; the question of them bothering to take someone else’s chart/s and ask questions on their behalf even if the querent is willing to pay their share of the fees is not even worth considering.
Oh I see
