Astrology is basically found for the purpose of spiritualism. A new born baby was observed by expert sages and than they use to made prediction about baby. According to it, future course of his training is been decided by parents. This was usual practice in ancient India. Main reason of knowing about future is that one will come to know that whether that kid is going to be king, soldier, businessmen, Artist or Saint. How His life will be useful to society?
One of the best example is of Bhagvan Buddha, When Buddha get birth one Astrologer has predicted that this child is going to be FAKIR, the barefooted and will travel a lot. Siddharth was son of king, so his father has made such a provision that Siddharth should not come in touch of worldly matters, like disease, poverty, Ageing, Death. But somehow one day Siddharth goes out of Rajmahel and he sees all this worldly troubles. His mind outraged with agony and He left his kingdom and become a Buddha. This is very well known story but this proves the absolute value of Astrology in Indian society.
Astrology is a tool to know the design of destiny. We can get Idea about major happening in our life. We also get change it by our karma(Actions)
It has become a fashion not to believe astrology. Action is important but it is only one wheel of chariot. At least two wheels are necessary for running it. As in a life also we need one wheel of Karma (action) and other wheel of fortune (luck). Without any of this, we will not be running in life but Life will run away. To avoid such a disaster in our life Astrology is boon.
People who are left without choice in their lives are ready to believe in Astrology. But when there is a choice we conveniently ignore the fact about astrology.
Astrology is a spiritual science, As every science needed cause and effect relationship, Astrology also have this virtue but this is like a conceal wiring. We with out limited knowledge and experience cannot understand this and until we cannot believe this. This is absurd, what we don’t know is not existing is ostrich’s logic. We have to understand this and should enjoy the wealthy heritage of astrological guidance.
