Astrological Knowledge for better and meaningful life

[Sandeep]

In none of the links provided by you has it been mentioned what the name of the course will be. It is not a graduation or post graduation in science, it is one in Arts. This is the helm of misinformation.

Nobody has a problem when "Animal Husbandary" (Not Vetenary) was made a graduation subject.

One of the links provided makes fun of UFO. Millions are spend around the world in US, Russia, Japan and even China on UFOs.

Moreover both graduate and post graduate cources where supposed to be self financed for students.

Your efforts to examine the credibility of the links is appreciated. But kindly provide the link so that we can also examine instead of making an unsubstantiated statement.
The fact that millions are spent into UFOs only strengthens the potential existence of UFOs Unlike astrology, which wont even stand a basic scrutiny, which is why no one is pumping money into it

My previous post has the answer for this. Many of them are established universities.

sandeep,
and do u know the no of colleges studying UFOs? :P

there are too many basic flaws in your reasoning - there are 250 astrology crash-courses in india no big deal Because a college teaches a course, does it mean they are right? I would go ahead with a Princeton guy then some nameless college in a british village

major comprehension problems here!! Let me repeat my question - Will you kindly provide the link that pooh-poohs UFO research? Answer directly to the point (I agree UFOs have nothing to do with this thread, out of curiosity for UFO study, I am posting this here, sorry)

Sandeep doesn't seem to have "examined" the links that i gave patiently and with objective thinking!

The very first link i gave - the BBC website link - has this to say :

"All sorts of institutions around the world offer qualifications in subjects such as astrology and palmistry, but few of the bodies teaching the courses are reputable universities enjoying state support.

It is therefore unsurprising that the decision made by India’s University Grants Commission to offer cash for the creation of university departments of Vedic Astrology has created a rumpus among some of the country’s senior academics, particularly in the sciences. "

http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/sc...31_vedic.shtml


Sandeep should have read the links fuly before going on a google expedition for the names of the universities which offer "astrological" courses.

Most of them are NOT reputable - and NONE of them seem to be "STATE SPONSORED" which was what the BJP govt. planned to do - to "sponsor" Vedic mumbo-jumbo hogwash courses - at the expense of the public-fund - which was supposed to be used for promoting higer-education in indian universities!

There is a mountain of evidences for the BJP govt's intentions to comit fraud on indian education at the expense public money - to promote COMMUNAL education - camouflaged as "Higher education" in the "scientific discipline" or in other words - to fraudulently promote "vedic astrology: as a science - which it is not.

[hehehewalrus]

This thread will be closed!!!!

See, I dont even need a degree from London College of Astrology to say this

[geno]

Most of the institutions that sandeep has given - are places where the "Sanskrit" language is taught and it is no secret that sanskrit has nothing other than these "mAyA" Shastras - masquerading as truth and science!!

Don't we know what the "vEdics" teach as "Jambudweepa"!!!
