Banaras University uses astrology to cure heart ailments

Varanasi, June 23 : The Banaras Hindu University in Uttar Pradesh has turned to ancient holy texts to find a cure for heart ailments.

Approved and allotted by the University Grants Commission (UGC), the project has given a rise to number of ‘astrology hospitals’ in the holy city. The astrology hospitals are places where astrologers prescribe semi precious stones, beads and herbal medicines.

“After a long thinking period and conducting interview, UGC has allowed us to start with this project. We have also received an approval letter. The project is on how to prevent and cure heart related diseases through astrology,” said Shatrughan Tripathi, Professor, Astrology Department, BHU.

The heart ailments used to be cured with herbs.

According to Tripathi, astrology is a therapy too. In fact the ancient books are replete with mentions of diseases and treatments.

“Through Astrology, one can diagnose the heart diseases in human beings, when it can happen and during what situations it can happen. We are not doing anything new but all these diseases have been mentioned in our ancient holy books. We are trying to bring the same things to the people but in a scientific manner,” he said.

The UGC sponsored project is expected to revive scientific study of Astrology.

Can anyone recommend Hindi films (Bollywood) with a spiritual theme?
Are there Indian movies with a spiritual theme? Can anyone out there recommend any Hindi films (Bollywood films) with a spiritual theme? I don’t mean religious or mythical films (like Ramayana, Mahabharata, etc.). I mean Bollywood films with a spiritual theme to them. I am relatively new to Indian films, so I don’t know a lot about them or what’s out there. I watched a Hindi movie, “Banaras – A Mystical Love Story” and it had great spiritual themes or connotations. That is the kind of movie I’m looking for. Movies that contain themes of the spiritual side of India. I’m thinking that there must be some out there, but don’t know how to find them. Any help is appreciated and thank you in advance!
