Astrology is believed to have originated in India thousands of years ago and has been an integral part of Indian culture and tradition ever since. The main reason is that it is closely tied to Hinduism. Vedic astrology or ‘Jyotish Vidya’ operates on the premise that cosmic patterns determine human destiny and that understanding these influences can help individuals make better decisions and lead more fulfilling lives.
The term “Nakshatra” is derived from the term Naksha, which means a map, and Tara, which means a star implying the map of stars. Sages and astrologers have held the highest position in the hierarchy of scholars who have been entrusted with liberating humanity from all their worldly troubles. Through the deep knowledge of planetary positions, astrologers serve as a guiding light to heal humanity.
