Namaste,

Every time I visit these yahoo groups on Jyotish, I see scores of candidates looking for solution and prediction to their problems and the jyotishis advicing them to recite 10s of 1000s of these mantras.

But they all stop just at that.

Let us say candidate 'x' has really taken these advices to heart, done his homework and performed remedies properly, how would a practitioner of jyotish know that or trust that?

So, does prashna system work better for such candidates?

Also, what is the general view on this forum regarding pariharas (remedial measures excluding gemstones as I do not believe in gemstones).

Many thanks.
