science of astrology

[Guest guest]

 Dear friend,

Namaskar,

I know that you are very much interested in astrology. Hence I invited you to

join our forum “” for discussion. Perhaps you may be busy;

hence you are not willing to take part in discussion through forum. In view of

this I am enclosing a blog for your reading and hope you will go through it and

will like to come forward with your views on astrology for further interaction

either through our forum or on

my email sanatkumar_jain

 

If you are interested then you can also read my original book on internet in

google library (refer link in blog).

 

You can also pass on this msg to your other friends, group etc.

Hope to hear soon from you,

 

Thanks

 

Yours truly,

ASTROLOGY A SCIENCE OR MYTH

Will you please like to ponder and instead of sticking to some misconception

regarding astrology on which you have not studied in depth but you only have

faith, because you have been informed like this. So come out and think with open

mind and decide yourself as to whether astrology is scientific or is being given

cover-up of science due to some vested interest. I do not want to hurt the

sentiments of astrologers or who are in support of astrology, but I only want to

emphasise that if you think that it is a science then let us examine it and then

there will be no question of hurting, because you have not formulated the

principles. But unfortunately you are standing in support of it like a lawyer

only due to faith (which has been infused) and want to conclude like a judge

that astrology is a science without knowing the story of other side. I can

understand the problem of astrologer that they will loose their business but if

you are a client then you must have right to know the truth or call an

astrologer in the consumer forum.

 

At the time of formulating the astrological principles in early Primitive age,

it was the concept that every living being has capacity to move, whereas

lifeless thing cannot move. This religious philosophy leads sages to classify

all so-called planet (Sun, Moon, Mars etc.) as super living being (Deities). In

those days only sages had social sanction to study religious scriptures. Thus

after prolonged observation of the sky they developed the skill to predict solar

and lunar eclipse, which was the result of so-called grabbing the Sun and Moon

by imaginary shadow planets Rahu and Ketu.

They were also able to predict the timing of eclipse and its duration. They have

devised an ingenious way to offer donations etc. to get them free from the

clutches of Rahu and Ketu, which is still being followed. It was also religious

concept that fate of everybody is pre-decided according to their deeds. Thus in

this situation, it was common wisdom as to when sages were able to predict the

fate of deities like Sun and Moon then why they could not predict the fate of

King and so on. Thus procedure was devised to formulate various astrological

principles on the basis of the then knowledge of sages based on scriptures and

their celestial observation. These principles were the key factors for deciding

the fate.

 

Procedure adopted to formulate these principles was never percolated in the

Indian society due to illiteracy and hard barrier to learn such knowledge by

other castes. Subsequently these principles were spread to other civilization

and later on developed as Western system.

What is happening nowadays that there are two groups. One group belongs to

astrologers who always try to support astrology due to their business

considerations (these astrologers always try to fit past event very precisely

within some astrological principle within a capsule of ved, religion, astronomy

(eclipse etc.) and faith etc., but they are unable to predict any future event.

Because astrological principles lead to diverse predictions and that too

diabolical opposite to each other. If by chance a prediction (in fluke) may come

true then they start to harp on the same prediction and start self praising

instead of applying the same so-called principle on other horoscopes to see

their failure. Thus astrologer can only mislead, create confusion; try to cure

‘planets’ and so on. You can find that only this is going on in every forum),

whereas other group (say scientist) try to raise some logical questions against

astrology. But none of them have ever tried to investigate as to what was the

level of information of sages about the Universe, who developed astrological

principles in primitive age and what procedure was adopted to formulate various

principles relating to Lordship, Friendship-enmity, Exalted-debilitated, Aspect,

Vinshottary periodicity etc. If we analyze whole set of principles then

following questions may be raised (basis of formulation is given in sub-para).

 

1 What procedure was adopted to allot twelve signs among seven planets (as Mars

is lord of Aries, Scorpio etc.) ?

 

It was based on the concept that Sun is just above the stationary Earth and Moon

is above the Sun and so on……….

 

2 What procedure was adopted to decide that there is enmity and friendship

between some planets (as Sun and Saturn are enemy of each other) ?

Based on the Indian myth of fight between deities and demons over nector after

sea-churning………..

3 What procedure was adopted to decide various aspect (full, quarter to full,

half and quarter), (as planets have full aspect on seventh house) ?

Based on the position of army in the battle field………..

 

4 What procedure was adopted to decide that planets are exalted and debilitated

at some degree (as Sun is exalted at 10 deg. of Aries sign) ?

Based on planetary situation linked with Sun, when duration of the day is more

in comparison to night……

5 What procedure was adopted to decide that most powerful and hub of our solar

system, Sun has 6 years vinshottary dasha whereas Venus (a small planet) has 20

years ?

Based on two triangles derived after working out the effect of Universe on the

basis of lord and exalted…….

6 What procedure was adopted to allot various constellations between nine

planets with different vinshottary dasha ?

 

Kratica was first constellation in Indian scriptures……….

 

7 What procedure was adopted to decide order of days of a week (Sunday, Monday

etc.) ?

Based on distribution of 60 Ghati (Ghat = pitcher) in the structure of Universe

where Sun is nearer and Moon is far away…..

 

8 What procedure was adopted to decide fixed retrograde motion of Rahu Ketu

(3-11 minute-second per day)?

On the basis of recurrence of eclipse…..

9 What procedure was adopted to decide that Rahu, Ketu are 180 deg. apart?

On the basis of recurrence of eclipse………..

10 What procedure was adopted to decide timings of eclipse ?

Repetition of eclipse after fixed constellation month……….

 

Thus there may be endless questions, with a final question as to whether present

form of astrology is correct? If some one gave answers to these questions then

he will realize that entire astrological principles are totally based on wrong

concept of Universe.

 

Everybody may agree that every research is based on the then knowledge. In the

same way, when astrology was developed by sage Parashar etc. At that time it was

believed that Earth is in the centre of the Universe and stationary (it is also

believed in all religions). Beside this it was also believed (you may read any

old scriptures) that Sun is nearer from the Earth, whereas Moon is beyond Sun.

All constellations are situated in between Mercury and Moon.

You may be surprised to know that all astrological principles are actually

fabricated around this concept. I my-self studying astrology since last 35 years

and developed software to conclude correct prediction. But if it is true at one

time then same combination is not true in other case. It leads me to think

afresh logically and systematically over this subject and I find that Primitive

concept (when astrology was developed) requires full overhauling in view of

modern scientific astronomy, according to which primitive concept of Universe

(basis of astrology) was totally changed.

After lot of research I wrote an original book on astrology “Jyotish - Kitna

sahi kitna galat” in Hindi (330 pages). This book contains the detailed

procedure adopted to formulate these principles on the basis of the then

knowledge about the Universe, which leads our sages to formulate these

principles. This book was also published in English with the title “Astrology a

science or myth” (450 pages). You can realize that this is revolutionary book

and will change the face of predictive astrology in due course. If you

interested to know more about the book or description of various chapters then

you may send email to me. The book is being marketed in USA /UK, on Internet

etc.

At that time our sages were neither aware of Uranus, Neptune nor they were aware

that solar and lunar eclipses occurred due to presence of Moon and shadow of

Earth. That’s why they have developed the concept of Rahu and Ketu with

retrograde motion of 3’11”. It was mentioned in the Grahlaghav that eclipse

occurred when Rahu/Ketu came within 14 degree on Amavasya (dark night) or

Puranmashi (full Moon). But nobody will be able to answer that why there was no

lunar eclipse when Sun, Moon and Rahu were at 203.01, 23.01 and 34.43 degree

respectively on 08-11-1984 (Rahu was within 11.42 degree) or when Sun, Moon and

Ketu were at 319.74, 139.74 and 150.26 degree respectively on 03-03-1988 ( Ketu

was within 10.52 degree). Likewise I find that solar eclipses occurred even when

difference between Moon and Rahu was more then 14°. Sun and Moon were at 94.24

deg., whereas Rahu was at 79.04 deg. on 21-07-1982 (Rahu was 15.20 deg. away).

Sun and Moon were at 76.49 deg., whereas Rahu was at 91.93 deg. on 02-07-2000

(Rahu was 15.14 deg. away).

To give a modern scientific colour to the astrology, you will also find in many

modern astrological books that eclipse occurred at the intersection point of

orbit of the Sun and Moon (though it was not known to our sages and Rahu Ketu

were created on the basis of myth). Thus it is clear that at the time of full

solar eclipse, when Moon happens to be just over the Sun than Rahu must also be

there. But As per almanac Ketu was shown at 194 and 177 degree on 12-11-1985 and

3-10-1986 (refer any almanac) respectively when there were full solar eclipse

and position of Sun/Moon were at 206 and 166 degree respectively. You will agree

that when there were full solar eclipses then on these dates either Rahu or Ketu

must be at 206 and 166 degree respectively, because only then full solar eclipse

may possible. Whereas Ketu was being shown at 194 and 177 degrees in almanac.

Thus there was clear mistake of about 12 and 11 degrees respectively. All

horoscopes are defective in this light and due to this fundamental positional

variation, prediction is also effected. If you want then I can give many more

examples and very simple method of detecting them.

I fully support that astrology (predictive) is not a science but in primitive

age predictive astrology was a mixture of astronomy + psychology + faith.

Because astronomy is a science, psychology (recently discovered and it was not

known in primitive age) played an important role in handling a person by the

astrologer due to immense faith over astrology+astrologer hence predictive

astrology appears to be correct due to combined effect of all three. You will

also agree with the above observation after going through my original

revolutionary research. Because if everything is pre-decided as was contention

of sages then why we may take pains, why we may try to do some thing, because

every thing will take place according to pre-written destiny. Secondly, there is

no question of modifying that pre-written destiny, because if we try to change

only our fate, even then all attached happening will automatically change

creating a cascading effect, which in turn will change the pre-written fate of

every person. In another case, if destiny is not pre-written or say pre-defined

than it is not possible to detect it. Because when every Tom, Dick and Harry are

changing their destiny due to worship, good deed etc. then destiny of every one

will continue remain under change. You will agree that astrology is totally

based on mathematical calculation regarding planets, whose transit is fixed and

can never and never be altered. Now when transit or birth chart cannot be

altered it means result of calculation or say prediction is also fixed. Then how

one may change his destiny (if it is ever prewritten) by adopting some means

like offering, ring, vastu etc. because in that case, if you like to say, then

future events will be altered but how a calculation of planetary transit or

linked prediction can be changed, which is fixed due to birth chart or fixed

transit of planets?

 

Those who think that astrology is a science may be rest assured that actually

predictive astrology is not a science at all. Only astronomy and psychology

(discovered only in last 200 years) were used unknowingly by our sages for some

prediction and it appears correct. Hence predictive astrology is bogus and

astrology is a myth. Still if you have a faith on astrology then why don’t you

contact The James Randi Educational Foundation who offers a US $1000000 prize to

anyone who can demonstrate that astrology works. His e-mail and website is

jref and http://www.randi.org because modern technologies like

computer, TV, Newspaper etc. are being used to spread this myth in the cover up

of science with vested business interest. Hence it requires a logical approach

to fight this sort of ignorance. My book has vital scientific information in

this regard and readers of the book are fully convinced that astrology

(predictive) is bogus, because procedure adopted to formulate principles was

neither logical nor based on correct information of Universe, solar system.

 

If you are interested to read the logic behind the principles then you may visit

the following link of Google book library, where you will find the original

English book (with some pages missing) for reading online. After which you can

realize as to how astrology is bogus and without any scientific logic because

principles were formulated on primitive knowledge.

I will like to have your critical comments for further interaction on my email

sanatkumar_jain or you may join

for discussion in group.

Because you can learn astrology anywhere but can discuss only here. It would be

better to know the roots of astrology and facts, data behind it before falling

in the trap and come forward to join hands because of AIDS (Astrology Is

Damaging Society).
