PREFACE
The desire to divine the future is inherent in human
nature and it is almost impossible for any one to over-
come the same except when one renounces all connec-
tion with the world and merges himself in the Universal
Soul. This desire is accentuated by the almost universal
belief in the laws of Karma and reincarnation. No Indian
can believe in the happening of ah event in his life with-
out a pre-existent cause either in his present or past life.
One's life is always considered as being shaped by one's
own actions, and accordingly the knowledge of the
future is a source of great help in shaping one's conduct.

these effects :
