The fraud of Nadi Jothisham

When we went after lunch two separate readings were arranged for us- the master and the servant. The master was told a lot of things about him which hitherto were unknown to him before. He was a womanizer and a quite few other things too! But, it was not he did in this life that was the cause, it was his past life! He as a Brahmin in Srilanka in his past life had impregnated a servant woman and when it was discovered she was poisoned to death. It was this sin of his past life that was weighing heavily upon in this life too and making him do all the bad things that he was doing. He was promised a solution too. In fact when we had gone on a visit to the temple, were directed to this place to have our leaves read. So, it was quite obviuos that there was a cozy symbiotic relationship between the priests and these Nadi jotishs. How could he forget them? His solutions were to perform appropriate pujas in the temple which would be done the way they should be! Of course by a person, whom he knows very well. The rich white man was told to make the payment in advance and the offerings would be sent to him by post at regular intervals as prescribed.

My Spirituality as an Atheist

Is there any value in spirituality? As an atheist you may expect me to say no; but if I'm being honest, I'd have to consider myself a spiritual person. Of course I'm not talking about some ghostly ethereal soul that lives inside my body. There's no reason to think there's anything like that. I'm talking about the essence of human. There aren't many words in our language that capture what that is. at least for me. And so I use the word spirit, in the same way I use the phrase bless you. For rhetoric's sake. I can only describe it as the action or ability to see beauty. to feel wonder. and to be in awe.
