Above was from HH, thought that was clear when I mentioned mAnasataraMginNI.
And there is nothing "propagandastic" about it, it's a fact that you don't find much belief in predictive astrology in the Vedas. It's also a fact that a lot of it is just imported from the Greeks.
We had this discussion before on this forum before & HH was willing to debate if the gung ho astrology supporters could do the following:
"For debating/trashing a counter-point made in this regard I however place some pre-condition. The person should be able to read and cite in original saMskR^ita a wide range of early Hindu texts. These include: 1) aushanasa adbhutAni 2) gR^ihya sUtra-s of different vedic traditions 3) atharva veda parishiShTa-s 4) yavana jAtaka of sphujidhvaja 5) bR^ihat saMhitA. I would also place a pre-condition that the person should actually be able to perform *vedic* rites of the nakShtra and graha variety by himself or at least know *all* operational details of these rites. And the person should know some basic Indo-European linguistics."
Check back to post # 43 in this thread.
Ronald Reagan was a retard by the way who mouthed conservatism but actually left higher a deficit when he left the office & he was also largely responsible for chAchA sam's funding of the mujahadin, the precusor to today's Taliban.
"vedic" astrology is like "vedic" maths, not much that's vedic in either of them.
