They'd have to be statistical, but statistics for what? The ME studies used statistics on effects for very large populations--crime rate, international hostilities, and so on--whereas the purported effects of Vastu and Yagyas and Jyotish are on individuals. I think they'd have to be done more along the lines of the standard studies on the effects of TM--better relationships, greater creativity, less anxiety, etc. etc.--but again, the great number of potential variables is a problem. Even the independent variable (I think it's called--i.e., the "technique" itself) varies. Everybody does TM the same way, but every Vastu home is different, for example. > I guess by the time someone is > buying a yagya that kind of proof is not relevant, and the general > public wont get into it without TM anyway. So who would care about > studies? I may be the only one! Oh, I dunno, if it were possible to do convincing scientific studies you might get some in the general public to give yagyas a shot. Come to think of it, have there been studies on Feng Shui? You said in another post the Hong Kong housing market is heavily influenced by Feng Shui. Is that just because it's a cultural tradition, or is there some evidence that it works? ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Everything you need is one click away.
