Busting the Myth of Vedic Astrology- Introduction: Is Jyotisha Shastra Science or Superstition?

Listen Later

The intention here is to Introduce the topic of Jyotisha and to understand if it is a field of knowledge or a superstition . As a novice, I will discuss the basis of this field and try to explain it, without going into too many details.

The objective of this series is to dispel the misconceptions regarding this ancient field and to help practicing hindus understand why they observe Jyotisha in the important moments of their lives. Modern education contradicts many traditional beliefs and Jyotisha is a field which has no modern equivalent for comparison. Western Astrology is very different from Indian one and Jyotisha is much more tha just astrology.
