Here are a few words from B.V. Raman about the nature of astrology, a

rationale- the rationale. This is from the first pages of the book

Muhurta.

The value of Time is inestimable. All objects in nature are produced

in Time, developed in Time, and destroyed in Time. The truth of these

statements requires no further proof. It stands unchallenged. Here we

have a grand problem for solution: If the creative, protective and

destructive forces are embedded inthe all-powerful Time recognized as

the great Kala Purusha in the astrological literature, then will it

not be reasonable to study the influences of the various energies

issued from the solar globe and from the other globes dependent on

the Sun for their supplies of energies and reflected by them under

various modifications? Astrology is a science which deals with time

proceeding from the Sun and all the wonderful phenomena which are

embodied in that mysterious agency. Scientific investigations have

now led to the conclusion that " we are faced with a cosmic

determinism." Astrology is a complete system of philosophy which

requires the assistence of neither metaphysics nor physics. It is the

empirical systematization of the idea that [ CELESTIAL ] RADIATION

IS THE DETERMINENT OF ALL TERRESTRIAL PHENOMENA ( emphasis mine ).

That idea is as valis today as when it was first started and the most

striking experimental evidence of its validity has been furnished by

modern scientific research. Being the first human attempt to apply

mathematics to biology, its conclusions and broad generalizations are

being confirmed by newer scientific data."

 

.... Suffice it to say that we are living in a veritable sea of

vibratory energy which unerringly and equitably supply the

meansofcreating, maintainingand destroying life and its activities in

our little universe. Planetary rays are unseen vibrations and they

affect biological and psychological processes.
