There are many schools of logic that are incompatible with each other. Western math and science are based on 'western' logic but since it is usually referred to as just 'logic' we all have been trained to think that's the correct and absolute logic. That said, I dont think astrology and vaasthu have any basis even in Indian logic!! My guess is they all began as scams and have stood the test of time only because it feeds on people's insecurity. Same reason that godmen still find gullible followers. mano > _______________________________________________ > To unsubscribe, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe > <password> <address>" > in the subject or body of the message. > http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc > -- A facility for quotation covers the absence of original thought. - Dorothy L.
