Today we see in Sinhalese marriages we often use follow these so called Auspicious timings.. but were all those successful? definitely not! So this is done just for the sake of doing it, to probably start it in a more positive manner.. and to console yourself that you will gain success, but sucsess is totally depend on what you do.. and your own actions.. WHICH IS WHAT LORD BUDDHA SAID... so Horoscopes and Auspicious Times.... nothing much to it!</blockquote>
