Smriti Irani's visit to astrologer raked up in Rajya Sabha


New Delhi,Dec 11, DHNS: Human Resource Development Minister Smriti Irani’s recent visit to an astrologer in Rajasthan was raked up in the Rajya Sabha on Wednesday with a Congress member calling her actions “unscientific”.

Congress MP Shantaram Naik said in spite of her educational qualifications being challenged, Irani had done well as minister, but sought to corner her for challenging “scientific temperament”.

“I am pained to see you going to an astrologer... it challenges the scientific temperament as encompassed in the Constitution of India,” he said while participating in a debate on a bill on School of Planning and Architecture.

“(As a minister) you don’t have a private life. I am pained that you have visited an astrologer. What are you going to tell the students? To go to a fortune teller? The message you have given does not commensurate with the role you have been given,” Naik added.

    With whom you are comparing Hindu's with, R U equating & justifying Hindus along with them.... am sorry ...,
    Remember the upper class of hindustan made varna bheda rule & restricted the knowledge base limited to themselves and in my opinion because of that though hinduism was one of the most known ancient civilised society was not able to Conquer the world. It was only after British invasion & rule for over 2 centuries education become accessible to the lower/under privileged strata of the society.
    All that i can say by giving an example that - I am extremely proud to say or make known to all upper class hindu's that Bharat Ratna Dr BR Ambedkar authored constitution of hindustan and the same is binding on all hindustani's including upper class (if at all that exists).

    Sorry homie … Your reply reflects your confusion , Kindly don’t make your own conclusions !
    comparing here …funny though!!
    Where did you find this crap varna bedha rule ??
    What do you know about it?
    I guess you have been mislead regarding Indian history by reading all manipulated works gifted by abhrahmic invaders.
    What is tat all upper class/lower class ?
    Only abhraham faith are hell bent on what you said on conquering world – its better if you understand about this.
    The misleading theories of communists and biased indologists have already caused a great damage to our society and have sown seeds of differences. It is unfortunate that so-called Dalits consider themselves outcaste and hence we fail to unite together for prosperity and security. The only solution is to go back to the roots – the Vedas – and rebuild our understanding of our relationships with each other.
    Even the Brahman texts, Manusmriti, Mahabharat, Ramayan and Bhagvat do not state anything about your misconception .
    Caste is a EUROPEAN INNOVATION having no semblance in Vedic culture.
    All the 4 varnas are important. Varna means one that is adopted by choice.
    People who are going about calling themselves “Brahmins” in today’s world are not actually brahmins in the real sense of Vedas – just because they have been born into families which had Brahmins as their ancestors, they have assumed the status of Brahmins. It is very similart to someone calling himself a doctor just because his great grandfather was a doctor by profession.
    But society grades occupations based on skill and sphere of influence. In their blind hate for casteism and anti-hindu propaganda, people are suggesting all occupations are equal. If that was the case, would you suggest equal pay for the scientist and the garbage collector? No occupation is lowly, but that doesn’t imply all occupations are treated the same. There should be dignity of labour.
    Come out of your prejudiced mind set , this is the age of internet

    people,

    all the bills which bjp intended to pass will be passed in 2017 such that bjp will have no other bills to be passed,

    bcoz in 2017, bjp will get rajyasabha majority along with loksabha majority and pranabda's president term will also end during that time and bjp guy will be president at that time.

    so modi is trying his level best in winning state elections so that he can get that elusive rajyasabha majority

    has anyone called you Lunatic, ever? anyways,

    I never said, VYASA found out diameter.. there is nothing like inventing/discovering!! i Said, it is named after VYASA= diameter! ...

    Just like Mumbai Pune expressway is constructed by BJP, but named after Ashok CHAVAN's father! just named! doesnt mean he constructed it!

    OK.. we indians had found out the earth diameter exactly, when rest were still thinking earth is flat and sky is a shamiana!

    why VYASA/for diameter, is your question , then here is answer
    VYASA- divided the fulll Vedas into 4 divisions,rig, yajur,sama,atharva veda and gave it to 4 of his disciples to develop! the division suggested that a circle was made 4 quadrant, from circumference to circumeference, but via the center point!! hence such line is diameter and given VYASA name in sanskrit! take it or leave it.. it is the way it is!

    greek had theirs, chinese have their practices! no one infact rejected it like islam/christianity! ...

    Walk around bangalore shivajin nagaar, you will find many "GEMS" business, or a blue turquoise bracelet of Salman hanging there..! so many muslims wear a gem stone on their fingers! so, do Hindus!

    people attribute to the soul if Hazrat kamarali and think it is his super powers!! now tell me, are people wrong in thinking so? Cos, if you observe it is PURE PHYSICS!! lifting it from fingers all around and dividing the weight into multi direction Opposing force of 8kgs or so! just Freebody of forces will explain the rationality behind it! .... agar logon ko sukoon milta hai ki Baba kuch kar raha hai, toh who I am to oppose them? they r not killing themselves by doing it! correct?

    I have seen lot of buddhejeevis, like Prof.Narendra nayak, late H.Narasimhayya, Dhabolkar etc their job was to expose only HINDU traditions! if they overstepped and used it to for all religions, they would be eliminated!

A strong man or women never go to astrologer .He believes in his Karma and leaves the rest to God (as Geeta Preaches). There are thousands of such Jyotish are exploiting this human weakness. A minister that too HRD giving wrong messages to young generation. However I do not agree with Opposition in wasting time on this in Parliament .They need to expose the false promises made by this govt and remind them of their poll promises again.

    If Congress does not intervene into such stupidity, very soon Mangaluru will be known as Hinduluru.

    I had very high hopes on Smriti & Shushma, but they turned out garbage. One is going to astrologer and he other wants to make GEETA as national book.
    I had told this before, now I repeat, "If B.J.P doesn't come out of R.S.S hang over, they are finished. Modi will never be successful with his development agenda unless he stick to inclusive politics.

    Almost all Hindus believe in Astrology. This includes congress politicians. SM Krishna was the regular visitor for Swamy Nityananda ashrama in Bidadi, Bengaluru.
    Congress can give some constructive feedback in parliament, instead of digging at one's personal beliefs and practices.

    Of course Congress has to criticize such stupid actions. You can not develop a country with the help of astrology. You have to practically work hard on it.

    That is not astrology, may be a faith in GOD. He is not curing then the people cure themselves if they believe and strong faith in GOD not in man. And its religion, religion and astrology not required in politics.

    you cant hide one issue under one word known as faith without giving the logic and ask explantion for other issue and ask logic as thats also a faith.
    the ive questioning on the issues exposes your shrinked mindset.

    Dinesh,

    Your belief in astrology shows that you are not that well educated.

    Are there any astrologers that are scientists???

    I really dont blame you for what you think because many people dont know what science really is.

    Mr. Poojary, it is true that some educated, and a very high percentage of the illiterate people believe in astrology-horoscope-palm reading etc. Mrs. Ronald Reagan had that personality trait.

    I have watched rows of palm readers in religious festivals of various religions, and making money out of misleading the gullible people with giving them big dreams.

    H2O, all the scientists from any part of the world will be unified in that conclusion. In a scientific reality, there will not be any challenge or contradiction.

    But, take 10 famous astrologers to make a prediction about certain events touching a nation or an individual they will be having various disagreement or perhaps total disagreement.

    So, astrology, is it a science? Who was the original inventors of astrology-palm reading and horoscope? For every scientific invention, we have either an individual or a group of people behind that.

    astrology is a proven science accepted by whole world including west.there is a university in russia and europe for astrology.it also called as planetary science.

    these guys dont know the popularity of renowed indian astrologist bejaan daruwala in russia and europe and in russia where he is accorded highest state award and he has many followers majorly from europe,americas and russia.
