Jyotish, the science of light is the
oldest and the most reliable system of Astrology. Since its
origin is from the Vedas, it is also known as Vedic Astrology.
According to the Vedas, Karma implies reincarnation or rebirth
where thoughts and deeds in a past life affect one's current
life situation. Thus, each of us is responsible for the
tragedies and good fortunes that we experience in our lives.
Our actions in the present will not only affect the immediate
future but their repercussions will be felt even in future
lifetimes.
The Lifetime reports provide you with a perspective on various
aspects of your life which will help you to take karmically
sound decisions in your present situations.
What is Jyotish?
"Jyotish" is a Sanskrit term derived from the word
"jyoti" or light. Jyotish is the Vedic science of
Astrology and Astronomy. It is the science of the luminaries.
The science of Jyotish is based on the ancient Sanskrit
scriptures, the Vedas, Puranas, Itihasas and Samhitas and the
Rishi-vaakyas, or the statements of great sages like Maharishi
Parashara, Vedavyasa, Jaimini, Bhrigu, Narada, Garga etc. The
Vedic texts are said to originate from the breathing of Maha
Vishnu, or the Supreme Godhead, and thus are accepted as being
Apaurusheya, or infallible. The ancient Maharishis who have
realized the laws of the science of Jyotish, did so while
submerged into meditation upon the Supreme Lord, and in this
transcendental state of consciousness the truths of Jyotish
were revealed to them by God. Therefore this holy science is
accepted to be perfect. Of course the system of Vedic
Astrology is very vast and elaborate, and many people nowadays
have difficulty in comprehending or correctly interpreting it.
This is because the people of Kali yuga, the present world age
are much more degraded in consciousness, memory and
intelligence than the ancient Maharishis who were present in
Satya, Treta and Dwapara yugas. For timing of the ages see
section 5. So many newcomers to Vedic astrology may find its
calculation or interpretation methods quite complicated and
unreasonable. But from modern science we also know that even
the simplest cell of our organism is incredibly complicated in
its structure and function. Therefore we should not expect
that a system describing the fate and all characteristics of a
person should be very simple and exact at the same time. We
should have the faith that the teachings of the Maharishis are
perfect, and if we follow in line with them, we will gain the
ability to understand the principles of Jyotish and apply them
correctly.
