It is true. Chevvai dhosham is cancelled by
several fatcors. Judging by these, 70% of the so-called
Chavvai dhoshams get neutralised. They are not really
afflicted.
Of the remaining 30%, the dhosham is of
varying degrees.
The same thimg can be said of Raahu dhosham.
But we have to really think...and think hard
on the fate of those girls who are barnded as having these
dhoshams, but do not really have afflictions.
It is actually the fault of the astrologer or pujaari.
The common people are conditioned into consulting
horoscopes on every occasions for everything.
These beleives are only getting stronger. Its because of
several factors like fear, desire, ambition, superstition, ignorance,
compulsion, etc.
So it becomes a racket.
There is a priest in North Malaysia. He is called by
tiga-tiga-kosong and lima-lima-kosong. It means three-three-zero,
and five-five-zero. They happen to be the rates for the two types
of Santi Homas that he does. He also is beleived to be a great
atrologer. And so, if he says there is dhosha , then dhosha it has be.
He does at least twenty such homas per month. That will be at least
Malaysia Ringgit nine thousand. He also does other things as well.
Pujas, archanas, marriages, naamakaranas, ear-boring ,etc.
There is another priest. He will create new dhoshas.
Last year, he declared that all female babies born in the month
of Aadi, have a special type of dhosha. He charged Ringgit
four hundred and twenty. So we call him "SivaSri Four-Twenty".
(All the priests in Malaysia put the title "Siva Sri" as a prefix).
Four-twenty....very appropriate. Reminds me of Indian Penal
Code -Section 420 - Fraudulence.

Let the thread be objective.

There are also some non -Indians who are interested
in occult subjects, including astrology.
