At some point or the other in our childhood, we all must have seen a star in the sky. When it twinkles, we unknowingly make a wish by folding our hands. In films and stories this event is often shown as very special and magical. But do the stars really fulfill our wishes? Come, let us understand this mystery with Pandit Kamal Nandalal ji.
**Do stars really fall?**
First of all, it is important to understand that the star we see is not actually a star. It is called meteorite. Stars – like our Sun – are very large and luminous celestial bodies; They don’t break and disintegrate just like that.

Meteorites are small pieces of rock or metal that float around in space. When they enter the Earth’s atmosphere, due to their high speed and friction they start burning and form a bright streak, which we understand as a “shooting star”.
**What do Western beliefs say?**
The stars are considered very auspicious in Western cultures. They are often considered a sign from heaven or a message from an angel. It is believed that if any wish is made at that moment, it will definitely be fulfilled.
**View of Indian *Shakun Shastra* (Omen Science)**
There are many beliefs regarding this incident in Indian tradition. According to *Shakun Shastra*, star can be an auspicious or inauspicious sign. This is often considered a sign of bad news. Seeing this during some work can be a sign of obstacles or failure in that work. It is also considered a warning sign for the country or society.
Predictions based on days of the week:

Wednesday – signs of profit in business.

So, does the wish come true?
It completely depends on faith and belief. Scientifically, it is just an astronomical phenomenon, yet it has special significance in cultural and religious beliefs. Watching a shooting star is certainly a beautiful experience. Whether you look at it from the perspective of science or from the perspective of faith, both views are correct. So, the next time you see a shooting star, smile – and even make a small wish, if you want.
