Dear Anuj,

 

why should we try and get Astrology labled as Science?

Science , after all. is a branch of subject that is to be known.

It is a subject like social studies or some such.

Similarly astrology is also a subject, that is to be known.

Why should we try to get a certificate from people by trying to present it as

Science?

Are we trying to present maths as science?

Art as science?

History as science?

 

May be the controversy has its roots in the lating phrase

Asto+Logos= science of stars.

 

Sanskrit term for the same is Jyotish +Shashtra.

 

I request you to enlighten me on the meaning of the word SHASHTRA in this

context.

 

Be blessed

 

Dada

Dear Dada,

 

As has been publicly stated by me several times, I am perfectly happy

not labelling Astrology as Science, in fact even mainstream science

is gradually moving towards the bigger tent: KNOWLEDGE!

 

Shastra to me implies a body of codified, organized and connected

threads of information/knowledge/techniques/methods that are

transferable and hence " technical " and which have an applied aspect

to it. One may say that I am describing jyotish. However, Jyotish is

more than that, it is the ticket to the Grand Opera, but not Opera

itself!

 

But as you know my understanding is limited and I just enjoy this

sweet somewhat silly dessert known as Jyotish Paayesh!
