So says a bunch of folks who have only developed the intellect and not
intuition. Plus the "superstitious beliefs" they were looking at were
western in nature. They would probably also think that people using
Sanskrit mantras to meditate are "praying to superstitious gods." ROTFL!
Thing is, like astrology, long documented omens from classical Indian
philosophy often play out. And the reason they do may have to do with
the connectedness of everything which is way beyond the understanding of
those with overstimulated intellects. The philosophy may be the
fragments for sciences of a long lost civilization for all we know.
It's always fun to see if these things play out.

New research suggests that the brains of many people are naturally
susceptible to projecting meaning onto meaningless events and
considering them omens. Unless their brains are working more
efficiently, that is, and exercising cognitive inhibition.
