The
sacred science of Astrology was regarded by the greatest sciencetist
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 moneymaking 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 dependant 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.
