Indian Astrology – A Brief History

As per the available records that exist, the origin of astrology in India can be tracked back to as far back as 6,500 BC. The presence of manuscripts written around 3,700 BC is an indication of the fact that a well-oiled and advanced system of knowledge of astrology was prevalent in ancient India. Despite the fact that a string of original documents were destroyed or lost, many actual copies of these originals, composed by later astrologers, can be found in the libraries of Maharajas and in the various libraries spread across different states in India.

The detailed and comprehensive records of astrological science are available from about 6,500 BC. One of the earliest authors of Vedic astrology, copies of whose work are still to be found, is Pita Maha who wrote a panoptic disquisition on astrology called Pita Maha Siddhanta. He compiled this book around 3,000 BC.  After five hundred years, another author-astrologer Vashishta wrote a clutch of books on astrology, astronomy and philosophy. His most celebrated work which was used as a rallying point by almost all subsequent writers on the subject is Vashishta Siddhanta. He also whipped up copious other books like Panch Siddhanta Kosha, Soorya Siddhanta, and Nityananda which were cerebral and incisive. Parasara’s Hora Sashtra and Varahamihara’s Brihat Jathaka are deemed as the cornerstone of Vedic Astrology.

There are a string of afflictions and diseases – physical and mental – which people encounter on a daily basis. Some of them which conventional medical science has not been able to get the grasp of are effectively treated by auxiliaries of astrological sciences like Ayurveda, Yoga, Pranic healing, acupressure, acupuncture and herbal medicines. Ayurvedic medicine and Yoga come in handy to keep the human body fit and healthy Astrology also acts as an ointment to heal psychological scars of a person who is going through depression.
