Even the scientifically minded are consulting ‘Rahu and Ketu’, says Keralam writer Vaishakhan
In a recent discussion, Vaishakhan, a prominent writer and cultural commentator from Kerala, observed a noticeable trend in society where individuals, even those with a scientific mindset, are turning to astrology, specifically consultations regarding ‘Rahu and Ketu.’ These celestial entities hold significant importance in Hindu astrology, often associated with fate and destiny.
Vaishakhan pointed out that this trend of relying on astrological guidance reflects a broader cultural phenomenon where traditional beliefs intersect with contemporary perspectives. He emphasized that the growing interest in astrology among educated individuals raises questions about the intersection of science and spiritual beliefs.
“Many are looking for explanations beyond the tangible,” said Vaishakhan, highlighting a shift in how people perceive and engage with the complexities of life. The allure of astrology appears to offer comfort and insight in an increasingly uncertain world.
This observation by Vaishakhan sheds light on the evolving discourse surrounding astrology in Kerala and its relevance to modern society, reflecting the diverse ways individuals seek understanding and solace.
