Here is a blog that I wrote on August 29, 2004: https://gopalan.vesana.com/2004/08/all-in-the-divine-plan.html The one question that most ignorant and sceptical people ask an astrologer is: “When you fucking cannot predict for yourself, then how the fuck can you predict for others?” They indeed feel great asking that question because it hits the astrologer directly underContinue reading “I FUCKING PREDICTED THAT I WOULD BECOME A PROFESSIONAL ASTROLOGER!”

PARAGUAY — WHEN MONEY DISAPPEARS
One bank holding the wealth of 60% of the population shuts down. The real civilisation will start from ‘0’ again. When the banking system collapses, money loses its meaning, property becomes questionable, and survival becomes the only priority. The profession that will flourish? Prostitution. Because when civilisation collapses, morality becomes a luxury, and survival becomesContinue reading “PARAGUAY — WHEN MONEY DISAPPEARS”
THE TEN AVATARS OF NARAYANA — A RELIGIOUS AND POLITICAL CONSOLIDATION?
Lord Rama and Lord Krishna belonged to different eras. Their purposes were different, their followers were different, and their philosophies, rituals and traditions were not entirely alike. So how do you bring these diverse traditions under one religious umbrella? You call them the avatars of Lord Narayana. And suddenly, two different traditions become part ofContinue reading “THE TEN AVATARS OF NARAYANA — A RELIGIOUS AND POLITICAL CONSOLIDATION?”
The Art of Winning an Argument
Let me blow my own trumpet for a while before going on to the real blog. In my 51 years of existence, I don’t think I have ever lost an argument about astrology, philosophy, religion or spirituality with anyone. Face to face, I have debated many learned men, including European scientists, and have made themContinue reading “The Art of Winning an Argument”
India’s Next Evolution – A Prediction
India is going through an evolutionary process, and we are perhaps witnessing a significant generational shift. For the first time, a substantial section of India’s lower-middle and middle classes has enough disposable income to enjoy things that were once exclusive privileges of the wealthy. From international travel and luxury purchases to entertainment and lifestyle choices,Continue reading “India’s Next Evolution – A Prediction”
Birds of a Feather Flock Together
Let us say you have a Rose-ringed Parakeet as a pet at home. It is indigenous to India. Now, let it fly away. It will not remain alone for long. Through its unique calls, it will find other birds of its own kind and begin to survive in the wild, as though domestication had neverContinue reading “Birds of a Feather Flock Together”
Why Modern Marriages in India Aren’t Working Anymore
Let us keep destiny aside for a while and examine, from a psychological perspective, why modern marriages are failing in India. One of the vital factors that has changed in the last 70 years is women’s access to education and their ability to be as employable as men, as well as being in a positionContinue reading “Why Modern Marriages in India Aren’t Working Anymore”
Did social media ruin women?
In my times, a pretty girl existed within a perimeter of perhaps 20 kilometres, with an audience of a few hundred men at most. Out of those hundreds, perhaps five had the guts to approach her, strike up a conversation, or propose to her. And if she accepted someone, the whole community would eventually comeContinue reading “Did social media ruin women?”
Society Is Not Your Child’s Babysitter
I lived in a gated community for a while, and indeed admired the grit and guts of modern parents. Kids aged four and above, both boys and girls, are simply left alone in apartments as if the whole world will take care of them. On top of that, the girl children wear dresses that areContinue reading “Society Is Not Your Child’s Babysitter”
Understanding Feminism
Warning: This blog is based on my personal experiences and observations. You have every right to form your own opinion based on your own observations. Chapter 1 I saw a video on a social media platform where a woman was buying vegetables in a busy Indian market. A man kept touching her butt, and sheContinue reading “Understanding Feminism”
