How many times have you read or seen people reading the daily astrology column in newspapers? or how often you show your hand a mutual friend or manual reading experts to know the future? How much of this do you believe in reality?
Here are some examples:
In India, almost every marriage is made only if the stars match. You would face considerable resistance from the old grandmother and mother in marriage to a girl you like, if kundalis1 not match. Imagine a little astrological chart can actually determine if your family endorses your relationship or not!
Domestic interior design and furniture in the largely determined Shastra2 Vaastu in many Indian homes. Even today, new apartments or flats are rejected if they do not meet aspects of Vaastu! So if you’re a builder, you have a few more chances to sell your newly constructed buildings and homes, if you move them, designed to Vaastu Shastra in certain parts of India!
Huge donations are given in the name Poojaa3 or Homam4, which are held almost every month some place or another ward of evil spirits, to seek the blessing of God and bring peace and harmony. The income of these donations to religious organizations the right to be listed in the stock markets! For example, the annual turnover of Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam (one of the biggest religious organizations in India) more 135,093,956.32 USD! Not to mention the reserves.
Again, some of the biggest riots and acts of violence, because of differences between religious communities. We have witnessed thousands of people killed in the name of religion and justice. As they say, even today, most people are judged not by the color of their skin.
