Kundali (Horoscope) burning at Mahatma Phule Wada. Protest against Astrology!

Posted on February 27, 2012 by Harshad Oak

The Maharashtra Andhashraddha Nirmulan Samiti in a protest against astrology has undertaken a mass Kundali (Horoscope) burning event at 11am on 27th Feb 2012 at the Mahatma Phule Wada in Pune. Youngsters from across Pune will destroy their kundalis (horoscopes) in a symbolic protest against the growing influence & menace of astrology.

Along with a rejection of astrology, these youngsters will proclaim their belief in their own ability to chart their futures & their disregard & disbelief in any birth timings or star & planet positions based predictions.

The backdrop for this protest is the recent astrology driven family suicide in Pune. In case you wish to know more about why astrology is a sham & what’s the rationale & need for the rejection & protest against astrology, I would highly recommend that you watch these videos on “Astrology Examined” by Dr. Narendra Dabholkar.
