[astrostudents] Re: Fw: Re: Ashok ji; why study astrology?



Respected Goel ji, it is a pleasant surprise. I never expected such
an answer from ur goodself. Yes it is definitely knowledge of pre
BPHS. Although discussion on this topic is curtailed. I couldn't help

knowing much much more about lalkitab. Lots of Respect and Regards.
Kulbir.
