In other words, speaking in foreign languages including English will boost ego.
Am I right?
Thanks.
So, speaking in English (for an indian or Chinese or ... etc) or Sanskrit/hindi for a non-indian would be a linguistic remedy for boosting rahu, eh Viraja? :-)
A silicon-jyotishi vehemently believes that all internet-users are rahu-grasta (grip of rahu)! Maybe we should plan a pilgrimage to a rahu shrine in India. No phones, tablets, laptops etc will be permitted since pilgrimages must entail an element of sacrifice and penance...?
Rahu has been associated with foreign cultures, languages, food, and foreign religions, so perhaps rahu's grip is gaining a stronger grip on humanity globally? Makes such a pilgrimage even more important it seems now than ever before. Maybe too late already? :-(
