According to great astrologers like BV Raman and others, on
a careful consideration, men are influenced by planetary rays! The conditions
of our bodies are but the action and reaction of the solar and planetary rays
upon each other and upon the various objects of the earth! The combination and
destruction of rocks, the influence of atmosphere, the influences of day and
night and the composition and decomposition of objects are all due to the
influence of the Sun! No energy can be revealed without the heat and light of
the Sun. Climate is greatly influenced by the planets and climate decides the
character of the vegetable and animal population of the nation. All the
phenomena of life are entirely due to the Sun. Man is a creature of
circumstances-monetary, social orclimatic. Midday sun fatigues man while the
evening Sun refreshes him There is subtle change and modification, every second
,in the solar ray. The sense of touch is affected when the solar rays fall on
the skin. This also results in defective vision. The skin is tanned silently
but steadily. Man is affected by drinking water. The Sun governs all these
things in the universe. climatic conditions, minerals and animals also. The
thick lips of the negroes, their curled hair, ugly form, the dwarfs of central
Africa are all because of differences and adjustments of solar energies in a
particular form!
When the child
is delivered and breathes for the first time the surroundings will have a
material influence upon the future of the child. Birth cannot be disposed of,
or summarily rejected as an accident. Thus we find the child born to a rich man
inheriting millions of rupees, while great intellectuals and men of genius are
suffering in poverty because of birth in a poor family! The Hindu theory of
Karma explains a number of inconsistencies. After all, an abuse is just an
invisible sound and its vibrations affect our mind and offends the other
person. Thus we find that objective bodies are directly affected by subjective
influences! The Moon affects the mind and it is responsible for the increased
madness of lunatics. The Sanskrit quotation from the ‘Purusha Sukta’ “chandrama manaso jataha” is very significant
and relevant here. The angular variations of planetary rays, every second,
change the earthly phenomena. Therefore, it is seen that individuals born at the
same hour will be different from one another.
Earth is one
of the bodies that receives energy from
the stars. The determining factor is frequency, not distance. Therefore, it is
meaningless to say that planets and stars do not affect people on earth. The
Moon and other planets send out gravitational disturbances during their
revolutions around the Sun. When a planet is capable of affecting such a large
body of the size of Sun, the effect on the fragile human being could really be
stupendous All living and non living beings are influenced by planets.
Astrology tells us the nature and time of their influence, good or bad. It also
suggests ways and means of lessening , or neutralizing or overcoming the
evil influences of planetary combinations by performing suitable remedies
prescribed by the ancient sages and seers. With the knowledge of what is likely
to happen in future, man can avoid many a pitfall. Thus he can cope up with
adverse circumstances or meet them cheerfully
Astrology
has been established as a science by the efforts of savants like the late BV
Raman. It is now a subject of study in a number of universities. Astrology is
one of the ‘Vedangas’- part of Vedas. Classical writers on Astrology include
the great Varahamira the author of ‘ Bruhadjataka, a compendium of all the
principles of astrology! Other writers on astrology are the famous poet
Kalidasa, saint Ramanuja, sage Jaimini. Many illustrious personalities of the past. Dante, the epic poet of Italy described it as
‘ the highest, the noblest, and without defect’. Kepler, Lord Bacon and John Dryden were well
versed in the subject. Flamstead the
first Astronomer Royal fixed the ‘muhurtam’ for laying of the foundation stone
of Greenwich observatory! Newton was
also drawn to the study of astrology. It goes a little further than Astronomy
and explains the effect of stars and planets, their movements on human beings
and the mundane world. Accurate
predictions in the life of individuals and nations have been made by the masters
of astrology. But it requires a very
great scholarship, devotion, dedication and concentration in coordinating the
different and complex principles of astrology. Astrology, of late, is being
attacked by a number of scientists and astronomers!
