Today on The Brown Paint Podcast we have my longtime family friend Piyadasa Godellewatte, a well renowned Sri Lankan Economist & Research Astrologer, who was Decorated with Knighthood by H.M The Queen Elizabeth II in recognition for his Public Welfare work for Sri Lanka. Growing we studied Meditation & Dhamma (The Buddhist Teachings) under Uncle Piya at the Manningham Banyule Buddhist Association which he founded and ran for 15 years. Having studied and practiced as an Astrologer for over 30 years, being well versed in both The Helenistic & Vedic methods, Piya genrously shares his wealth of information on all things Astrology, including Myth Busting some of the Study's major modern day misconceptions. Together we discuss the abuse of Astrology in today's modern world and the rise of Journalistic Sun Sign Astrology, as well as the accuracy of 'Real' Astrology as he explains how he predicted his own battle with Cancer 15 years prior. This episode is a golden example of absorbing the unrivalled wisdom of our elders.
