YES, ASTROLOGY IS A SCIENCE

YES, ASTROLOGY IS A SCIENCE A strology gave birth to astronomy or vice verse is something yet to be resolved. The primitive man looked at the celestial bodies with curiosity and fear. By trial and error method he looked at the familiar bodies for their impact on him. This process after continuous evolution reached to days all cosmic sciences. U ntil Galelio there is nothing much to say about astronomy as a science. However during 4000BC Chinese could record eclipse.The pyramids were constructed in 2500 BC, lines of standing stones at Carnac and Stonehenge erected at Salisbury by megalithic observers in 2000 BC are exceptions. The Babylonians prepared a calender based on the regular cycle of the moon. Since 3000 BC they used zodiac signs similar to that of today. Galelio's telescopic observation in 1609,  Johannes Keplers laws of planetary motion (1st two laws in 1609 and 3rd law in 1619),  Newtons law of gravitation in 1666, Greenwich observatory founded in London in 1675, disco

A JOURNEY WITH GOD

A JOURNEY WITH GOD E arlier in life he looked for God far above the sky. That is His abode. That is the place where every one makes his ultimate journey. He kept looking for a glimpse of Him. D uring hard times he called Him for help. When he got His support he found solace in Him. H e was in extreme distress. He failed to get any answer to his calls. He raised his voice and hastened the calls. Still no answer. He sought for Him with all his senses. During day and night he looked around for Him. His sufferings multiplied. He concentrated more towards Him with sharpened senses. He felt Him some where around. He found relief. He was at close quarters. H e was in comfort. He expressed thanks looking all around. He found him in all beautiful things. H e is in joy and fame. He praised Him with extreme devotion. He found him every where. He is amongst the poor, the sick, the down trodden and the helpless. H e reaches the level of contentment. He could see Him. He co

TWO REAL LIFE MEETINGS WITH THE DEAD

TWO REAL LIFE MEETINGS WITH THE DEAD T hese two incidents have happened in my life years ago. Even today I cannot. find a scientific explanation for these. I have narrated these in person to some of my friends. Some listened with thrill and others turned down as sheer hallucination   Well, you too may evaluate. However I am telling these without a word of exaggeration. 1. MAN VANISHED.   T his was happened in 1961. I was 13 years old and was studying in school. I lived in a village in Kerala, India. It was a Saturday, leave for the school. Around noon I went to the stream about 300 meters away from my home for a bath. On the way I went to my neighbor Gopi's house. Gopi was about two years elder to me. He was from a Hindu(Nair) family with three brothers and a sister. He was the eldest. His father died a few years ago and afterwards his mother married to the younger brother of his bereaved  father. I had never seen his father as we had bought that new house after his fathe

ECONOMY, A MULTIPLE JUMP

ECONOMY, A MULTIPLE JUMP W ealth of a country is nothing but the natural resources and the people available to exploit those. India is abundantly rich in both these God given inputs. Still we prefer to remain poor, a sheer paradox. Centuries long foreign occupation, multipronged  political system prevailing, lacking proper policies for education etc may be the major causes. Since the evolution of our economy towards globalization we are putting more efforts to bring in foreign money. This has resulted in considerable growth in every segment of our society. This development is primarily achieved by Foreign Direct Investments. Depending upon the merit of each case, even though varies, FDI always remain as a liability. E very year we forecast a growth rate of around ten per cent in our export in money value and scarcely we achieve the same. If I say 'let us have an increase in export by five hundred to thousand percent than the previous year' our financial experts shall call
