This article is based on astrology a topic I have very little interest in however the author uses a particular story to highlight his points on the subject. The essence of the story line is of some interest to me for the ideas that were presented in it. The author uses the story line to highlight a general idea of the Dravidian culture the indigenous peoples of India and the Aryan culture a nomadic people coming into India. Every time I am asked about this topic of the "Ayran Invasion theory" based on a few readings,discourses I've listen to etc I draw the same conclusion or to some extent the sentiments expressed in the article but this is met with opposition as the the theory being flawed debunked or some crazed Max Mueller European idea used to divided the sub continent. I am not even too sure who was Max Mueller or know of his ideas but the author being some Indian yogi/holy man using the same ideas expressed in some way to make his point is interesting....The author in another article even stated although #Sanskrit is considered the mother of all Indian and European language he stated," That is why it ( #Sanskrit ) has become the mother of almost all Indian and European languages, except Tamil. Tamil did not come from Sanskrit. It developed independently. Now Tamil a Dravidian south Indian language of a indigenous people meeting the nomadic #Sanskrit speaking Aryans shows the interaction of two great cultures on some level invasion or not.http://blog.ishafoundation.org/lifestyle/does-astrology-work/
