And the editor tasked the intern with horoscope responsibilities for the rest of her stint and the pseudonym lived on beyond the intern. The office started receiving calls with inquiries about the new astrologer. Turned out that the number of positive reviews sky-rocketed. This was supposed to be a stop-gap solution for a couple of weeks. And when a successor wasn't found on time the rather desperate supplement editor tasked the intern with scripting random positive notes and published this horoscope under a pseudonym. After a long association the astrologer and the print outlet decided to part ways. And each week a handful of readers would send back positive reviews on the accuracy of predictions. Their newspaper printed a weekly horoscope prepared by a well-known astrologer. Some of my closest friends are believers.Ī couple of years ago someone I know well was an intern at a top print media organization. And I mean no disrespect to anyone that does. Cheers!ĭisclaimer: I do not believe in astrology, tarot or numerology. We acknowledge and flow over our shortcomings as a progressive people. Thus we remain flexible enough to bend but not break. Parivedhya lokaan lokaajithan brahmano nirvedamayat ("After examining all these things and finding that they are useless to you, you must step out of it") Lastly, the Vedas also say to us to take what is useful/relevant in them (i.e., in the Vedas) and to discard the rest. Do let us know if you found proof of it though.

I like that phrase for its succinctness and I doubt that it is a feature of the Vedas. Richard Dawkins used the phrase "in-group loyalty and out-group hostility" in "The God Delusion" when he ground his axe in that book against certain other faiths' main shortcomings. I was giving this matter some thought and it occurred to me that there are other words to describe outsiders as well - "mleccha" is a prominent one.īe that as it may, I doubt that there are any specific calls for violent action against outsiders in Vedic texts. You can find this contempt and hatred for "others" as far back as the oldest Vedic text the Rig Veda, with frequent references to "dasyus", non aryan people.
