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.
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.

HH is very clever. He for all practical purpose excluded non-Brahmins practitioners from the debate. The very reason that Astrology is mumbo-jumbo.
Personally, the people that have provided me accurate analysis of my horoscope are the ones that do not have ancestral claim over astrology. The reasons are understandable.
BTW, whether astrology works or not, neither does depends on belief/disbelief of the skeptics nor does it matter whether it was imported or not.

Quote: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."
