What is the significance of 12 here? *I* was looking at *your* link to find an explanation! :) "Ennai thEdu...." (Search me!) You need to make an appointment with the ...er...numerous numerologists whose boards have sprung up all over Chennai, (btw I live in Blr, thankfully; I have lived in Chennai once for 11 years and the second time for 4 and a half years and never got to like the place)...and ask them, I am sure each will give a new and creative explanation. I find a lot of people are now making up esoteric-sounding stuff to explain arcane concepts, and since I can only pinpoint some as being untrue, I can't rebut the others. Have any of you gone to these "nAdi" astrologers who claim that your horoscope is written on a palm leaf in their little poky offices, and play 20 questions to elicit a lot of information from you? I wrote about someone who is now a Tarot Card reader http://bangalore.citizenmatters.in/articles/view/281-ramessh-tarot He is very sincere about it, but I still have an open mind on the subject...I think it is as much psychology as card-reading that he actually does.... Deepa. Deepa.
