Description
Vedic astrology has been a part of the Indian culture since ancient times. Indians have been using the astrology charts not only for materialistic gains but also for spiritual gains. Vedic astrology has also been used for medicinal remedies. The origin of the Vedic astrology can be found in the Vedas, especially the Vedangas. It is undeniably the oldest system of astrology in the whole world and differs considerably from the Western and Chinese astrology. Indian astrology uses the actual constellations of stars, position of planets and Sun as seen in the sky at the time of individual's birth and gives a completely different chart as compared to the one used by western astrologers. The book gives a simplified overview of how it comprehends the minute details of human life in connection with the cosmos. It also attempts to trace the historical journey of this enigmatic study and how it has taken shape in the contemporary times.
