[QUOTE="PunkX 75, post: 2522536, member: 82915"] They aren't scammers the same way Narayan Murthy wants you to work 70 hours/week for the benefit of the country, and not gain anything financially. As I had previously mentioned, they work on the theory of coincidence. A person's belief system only makes it easier, so when they do turn out to be right (again, not because of any sort of divinity, but due to sheer coincidence and causality), they are revered. They have the experience of knowing what most people (especially Indians) approach them for - mostly going abroad, wealth, job (mera beta engineer banega?), and marriage. It then becomes a game of guessing, and hitting the right notes based on gauging a person's demeanor (this is especially true with the more experienced pandits/babas). There is a direct correlation at play here, as well. For example, if a baba predicts you are going to go abroad in 2 years, your belief system will make you happy. Without realizing it, your confidence and hope shoot through the roof, and you start putting in more effort towards actually making that a reality. After you go abroad (due to your own effort, and not because of what the baba said), all the credit goes to the baba, instead of your hard work. On the flip side, if the baba said you have no chance of going abroad, you will get de-motivated and put in zero effort, you end up not going abroad. End result? The baba was right. He must be divine. The correct term is "correctly guessing", and not "predicting". Astrology is only fun when you don't take it seriously, like reading what your day is going to look like in the horoscope section of a newspaper, for a laugh. [/QUOTE]
