Dear all,
There are so many talk shows in Media which are currently debating whether Astrology is a science or not.And so many peoples will have doubts after watching those shows.This is to clarify for those genuine people who are having confidence in Astrology but confused by those talks by Pseudo rationalists.
Vedic Astrology or Hindu Astrology can be traced more than 2000 years back.(even before christ was born).Many people might not be aware of Hindu Astronomy which dates back beyond 2500 years.
Five types of siddhantas were followed worldwide .Out of five 2 were from Greek Astronomers(Roma and paulisa).what we now follow is surya siddhanta (Hindy Astronomy).
Vedic Astrology is based up on Surya Siddhanta.
Surya Siddhanta dates back to 500BC. The time difference between average length of a tropical year calculated by modern Astronomers and Hindu Astronomers is just 1.4 seconds.(Modern astronomers says so)From this the accuracy and knowledge of ancient Hindu Astronomers could be understand.One should think how in those days they had calculated so accurately??(500BC!!!)
For those who need reference they can go through Surya Siddhanta by Burgress( He is a roman catholic who came to india as a Bishop and he translated surya siddhanta and published a book)
Varahamihra has quoted in his works abt yavanachariars (yavanas are greeeks and they were given due respect as yavanachariars).One important work of yavanas is yavana jatakam.(Bhava gudhukulam is a work based on yavana jatakam)The practise of Astrology in Greek is evident from this.Astrology vanished from Greek once church became dominant.Varahamihra has dealt abt all siddhantas in his work pancha Siddhantika
The wroks of Aryabhatta (aryabhattiyam),has dealt exhaustively abt Astronomy.Aryabhatta has dealt abt earth rotating in his own axis .Geocentric models ,Helio Centric models and his works has been translated by islamic scholars.The differnce between Arya bhatta's and modern Astronomers calculation of Earth's circumference is just .24 %.He had dealt abt the causes for eclipses acurately .Some of the works are available in sanskrit.
Vedic Astrology is purely based on Hindu Astronomy (it is scientific.)
Pseudo rationalists oppose Astrology because they think it is tightly integrated with Hinduism.
I would like All Astrologers to post their valuable comments
Regards
Rajan
