The sacred science of Astrology was regarded by the greatest scientist of the era Albert Einstein as a true science. He said, Astrology is a science in itself and contains an illuminating body of knowledge. It taught me many things, and I am greatly indebted to it. Geophysical evidence reveals the power of the stars and the planets in relation to the terrestrial. In turn, astrology reinforces this power to some extent. This is why astrology is like a life-giving elixir to mankind. In the recent past, however, Astrology has gained epithet as pseudo-science or nothing but superstition. There is, in fact, no mystery behind this degradation of astrology.
It is a fact that the science of astrology has not so far been able to free itself from the clutches of its own charlatans. These ill-informed publicity crazy money-making practitioners, constantly solicit all possible derisive comments from the educated or enlightened and from those who have become victims of their depravity. The attitude of such pseudo astrologers can best be described in the words of Shakespeare as follows: As flies to the wanton boys, are we to the gods; They kill us for their sport. Astrology, no doubt, will remain an enigma if the attitude of the traditional astrologers will continue to be rigid and their minds closed to the realities of life. We need to learn to discriminate.
It is shocking to say that even the intellectual giants like Carl Jung, Sepharial, Alan Leo, Walter Gibson, William J.T. Tucker, C.E.O. Carter and B.S. Green who knew that Whatever is born or done this moment of time has the qualities of this moment of time, also showed as if they suffered from some sort of intellectual void during their approach to Astrology. A moment can’t be defined as an hour or even a few minutes, then how the Rashi Chart or even the Navamsha Chart (as studied and analysed by the Vedic Astrologers) can delineate the nativity of a person. Neither the planetary positions nor the aspects, nor the yogas change; and even the varga charts may remain the same. And the less we say, the better it is, about the Western Astrology, which primarily depends upon the theory of Aspects and Progression. No two human beings are alike in the universe.
Each horoscope, therefore, has to be unique. Our ancient seers used to construct and analyse charts to the accuracy of a few seconds of the ascendant. Let us try to match their calibre to the best of our ability and use this sacred knowledge to provide benefits to the society at large. To me Astrology is, at bottom, a microscopic criticism of all facets of life under the influence of celestial bodies. It is difficult for any learned man to deny the influence of celestial bodies on life on Earth. It is a different matter how to analyse this influence and apply it to predictive astrology. People oppose things because they are ignorant of them. Laws of science are universal. We do not say American or Indian Laws of Motion.
However, in Astrology no body agrees on anything. It is time, friends, to come to an agreement, at least in respect of its elemental principles. There are so many misunderstandings that if a radical change is not made, the fundamental role of Astrology will be seriously limited. My approach may not be an end in itself. However, I am making an effort in my books under the Title “True Astrology” to present before the readers how to approach the subject of Astrology in a scientific way. The reader’s dedication, devotion and the open-minded approach will bring rewards. However, let us not forget that our success in prediction is largely dependent on the accuracy of the software, which we use for the calculation of planetary and cuspal positions and also the accuracy of the birth data, which more often than not is questionable. No doubt blessed ones alone can discover what is hitherto unknown.
I have only made a sincere and dedicated attempt to dig out and revive our true concepts of astrology. The present book True Astrology-Kalamsa And Cuspal Interlinks Theory is in tune with the Navamsa and Nadiamsa concept of Nadi Astrology. The aspiring reader will doubtless find it an exposition of sound techniques of predictive astrology. How to analyse the horoscope, to determine what is promised for the native for all walks of human life, has been explained in simple and scientific way. Timing events, and use of transits are often thought of as complex and incomprehensible. It is dealt in a very clear, practical and illustrative way. It can in no way be taken as unequivocal dogma. All that the reader needs is an accurate horoscope. Suggestions from readers are welcome.
