[astrostudents] Re: Why study Astrology?



Dear members,

I like to say that I find this present discussion a little disturbing and also somewhat out of context.

In one of the messages somebody said: "P.......... told me that read lalkitab as a spiritual book".

About LK-Astrology it is clearly stated in the introduction-part of LK-1952, I quote:  "It comprises of all worldly considerations without any claim to divinity".  

This means Lal Kitab is not about spiritual or religious matters, and therefore it should not be read as such.

Lal Kitab also appears to be a secular text, capable of being studied by people belonging to any religion, muslims, budhists, sikhs, hindus, christians, jains, jews or those who belong to no religion at all (ateists). This means even a sinner like my own good self, belonging to the christian faith, protestant church, can study it with good results like everybody else.

Lal Kitab is a Jyotish Granth, meaning it is  about the Shastra of astrology, and it is designed to teach astrology to its readers. Each and every page is pregnant with astrological information, but not spiritual or religious information.

Dear Sirs, we are supposed to read out of the text, not into the text.

Best wishes,
Finn Wandahl
