Astro Kids

In India, it seems,there is so little regard for reality that parents are ready to risk the lives of mothers and children in order to get them born at the correct time.
Parents-to-be are increasingly opting to have their children delivered at the time suggested by local astrologers
In a country every bit as superstitious as ours, people would rather rely on the fatuous mouthings of a Swami espousing psuedoscience than on the benefits to be derived from good nutrition,education, and a rationlist view of life.
Astrologer Swami Trilokinathji Maharaj said: "Financial aptitude, fame and fortune, career - everything could be ensured by timing the birth."
Well no, it couldn't-but you're not going to persuade the peasants, here or there, of that in a hurry.
