Off Astrology and Naadi Astrology....

"Hey, are you free tomorrow? I am going to KalyaniNagar in a Naadi Jyotishi center. Let me know if you wanna join me" - My best frnd.

I was a bit shocked on her question. My frnd is from a well-to-do family, graduated from a famous management institute and working with a top MNC. I wondered what could have dragged her to go on such superstitious things!

"Since when you started believing in all these things?", I asked her.
"Are it's awesome, my mom and aunt have got perfect readings and you know what, these people also suggest you various ways to improve ur future. I am impressed and gonna get mine details as well."
I was not in a mood to argue with her so denied to go but wished her a good luck (and a logical mind too!!!)

About an year ago, I first learned about Naadi Astrology and was fascinated by it's history (http://www.naadishastra.com). It is believed that, long time ago there were 18 rishis who recorded future predictions about everyone on palm leaves in ancient Tamil language. From generation to generation, these astrologers have kept these leaves safe and are available for those people who are destined to know about their record. Interesting ha...
My first obvious question was, how can my past, present and future be written on an old palm leave? Not only future but I can find the names of my parents, siblings, husband as well on these leaves. Now any logical person would think if it's really possible to note down the correct future of billions of people in the world, that too many years back!

So I concluded, I am not "destined" to get my record through Naadi Astrology and left that topic. But call from my frnd made me think over it again. For me, the thought of knowing my future is a bit scary. Besides, if god wanted us to be aware of our future, he would have made us capable of doing it. I personally believe, astrology, horoscopes are just the things created by a bunch of so called spiritual people to fool other innocent creatures. Even if I know my future today, what's the point as I can't change it. And if I somehow I can change my future, whats the point in knowing about it as it's not gonna happen?

Quite confusing!!! But now I am just waiting for my frnd's Naadi prediction results though :)
