Know Your Future

Jump to Comments

Some popular fortune prediction shows on TV - Tarot Tell on Headlines Today, Tez Taare on Aaj Tak and Teen Deviyan (3 women experts in 3 different arts of future prediction) on Star News. I haven’t mentioned the lesser known channels or the religious channels forecasting the future. All of them have their own Vaastu, Numerology, Tarot card shows. These popular shows tell viewers about their luck on that particular day. The standard predictions are “something very good is going to happen to you” or “beware of travelling today” or “someone very close to you will help you” or “don’t start a new venture today”. All general predictions. All in everyone’s daily morning forecast.

Now have a look at their advertisements-

“Watch Pandit ……. lay bare in front of you the mysteries of the stars. You can also send your personal queries and horoscopes and get advice from Pandit …….. If you want to have a one-to-one conversation to untangle the mysteries of your future, then pick up the phone and give us a call.” The answers are mostly the same for all their viewers. All very generalised replies applicable to all of us.

This particular ad impressed me Have a look at the presentation and the qualifications of the advertiser -

“—- is an ace international Vaastu expert, Numerologist, Tarot card reader, Reiki master healer and Spiritual guru. He has been interviewed by CNBC (AWAZ) TV channel for Vaastu tips. He has been invited and featured live on JAIN TV channel as guest Vaastu expert. His hot tips have been published in What’s Hot, The Times Of India; Lucknow Times, The Times Of India; and in What’s Hot, The Times Of India. His work spreads from international to national boundaries and his follower clients are extremely satisfied with him. He is born and brought up and presently stays in New Delhi. He is a vegetarian as he feels that spiritual awareness is greatly enhanced on a vegetarian diet. He believes in non-violence (Ahimsa). You are a most fortunate one to take his consultation with prior appointments.”

This  gives me an idea ;)  if vegetarianism is such an important factor in raising spiritual awareness then I am a fit candidate!! We have been vegetarians for generations.

When I am bored of the regular stuff on TV these programmes are perfect entertainers. No violence, no objectionable views and no irritating politicians!
