Welcome to Indian Astrology-Jyotish

J yotish or Indian astrology means science of light. It is believed that all the knowledge and wisdom in India is based on teacher-student relationship. The knowledge is given from teacher to the student and again it percolates from that student to his students.

Human mind is curious since beginning and we are trying to establish a relation between nature,space objects and human being. So astrology or jyotish is the science of light which deals with the effect of nature and space on human being. Now the question arises how nature or space objects affects human life.

As we travel different parts of our planet we find that there are large difference in characteristics,color,nature and habits of the people. Why we find difference in the peoples when we all are from same species that is homo sapiens. Answer is that we all are living in different climatic conditions and using different natural resources. People in cold places are lighter in color and people in hot places are darker. So the mother nature has definite effect on us. In other words our location on earth differentiates us from each other.

As now we are well aware of all the planets moving around us. We know that all the objects have force of attraction for each other. This attraction is directly proportional to the masses of objects and inversely proportional to the distance between them. This relation can be given as--

   
                           m1 x m2
                  F = G ---------
                             r 2 

Also the moving object produces electro-magnetic effect on other object. Certainly this force and electro-magnetic field also affects all of us.

Our ancients teachers,priests and sadhus knew the effects of these objects on human beings. Hence they analyzed the effects of all the planets separately and also the combined effect of them all. They call it the study of light as it enlightens the inner soul of a human and guides one to the goal of life same as signboard guides us to the destination.
