		<description>Carlos ... I hope what you say about real astrology is true.  Astrology rules the lives of Indians of all religions.  I hope the time and effort spent on leading a life based on astrology is not wasted!!</description>

		<description>I agree with you that should not be in college, but if the religious route.

I think that is shortly to concretize the &quot;ok&quot; of astrology. She still is somewhat degraded, it must be 100%, and for that work must be performed.
When she is in tune like a clock, showing irrefutable results, nobody can say no. Astrology is a heavy mathematics, it is not a field of intuition, that intuition is a bit mask of understanding.

There are people who are working outside the traditional to reach this point.

If you do not believe that astrology (as it is practiced in India today) will pass modern scientific inquiry, i understand. 

When many Vedic astrologers  understand that they use a shadow of the real Jyotish, will be an important step.</description>

		<description>Welcome Carlos.  I do not believe that astrology (as it is practiced in India today) will pass modern scientific inquiry.  It probably was cutting edge science at one point in history but not anymore.  But at the same time I do not have any issues with universities in India teaching astrology.  If we can still continue to teach religion we can teach astrology as well.</description>

		<description>jyotish is a secret knowledge, practically, nobody know astrology in the world.

Many &quot;empiricals&quot; pratice &quot;Astrology&quot; (pseudo-astrology), similar toelementary school children would do nuclear physics.

if man does not prove, does not exist. Really the man fails to understand, astrology is very superior. Human beings are born, die, life events and has not mastered anything, is subjected to forces larger than him. 

there is a law for everything, nothing is random, random is something that still do not know. human beings discover, does not provide.

It may be possible that the great ancient civilizations were more advanced than us in some ways? as they built pyramids without machines? great walls in Tibete? aircrafts in ancient indian scriptures?</description>

		<description>Thanks and welcome to my site Mohan.  I think Jyotish Shastra was science back in the day but not so based on current standards.  Maybe a few hundred years from now people will look at modern science the same way!!</description>

		<description>Jyotish Shastra is indeed science and many facts have been proved based on this. Vedic maths form the base for this, how can it not be science? How did Aryabhatta, Leelavathi predicted the distance between moon and earth if it weren&#039;t so perfect when there were no modern methods of measuring things? May be I am mixing too many things here, but Jyotish shastra is scientific to an extent if not completely perfect.</description>

		<description>I believe &#039;Jyotish Shastra&#039; is a very accurate science and given some time i can easily prove it too!
Just because of the fact that we should not be superstitious does not mean everything old has to be a superstition!</description>

		<description>Welcome to the site.  Astrology is not science and we should not compare the two.  But Bangalore University and others teach courses that are not based on science either.  Why just target astrology?</description>

		<description>I welcome the university&#039;s step of saying &#039;No&#039; to Astrology being taught. It would have encouraged Astrology which is a branch not based on science.

To realize that a snake-bite may kill you and you should avoid going close to snakes, you don&#039;t really have to give it a try.

And, I really wonder how offering astrology as a course can help Indian a chance to open their eyes who&#039;ve got stuck because when something is introduced as a subject, it&#039;s taught in general and &#039;comparing it with modern science&#039; will just be a couple of pages in the subject.

I hope I&#039;m clear.</description>
