Ancientness of Indian System of Astrology; also called Vedic Astrology

Many a times, we find doubts and queries regarding oldness of Indian Astrology. Several people claim that the total sacred text Astrology has been borrowed from foreign sources. Shloka from Sri Saunakiya Vivaha Patala proves that it is a BC third century text. However, the obvious evidences say one thing else. The following proves that the conception of Ayanamsa was renowned throughout in ancient India.

Since Sage Saunakiya in SVP speaks regarding several earlier sages like Garga, Narada etc that proves that those sages lived before the period of Sage Saunakiya. SVP speaks regarding the development and use of Water clocks and Gnomon etc and about Astronomy. He was the guru of the Katyayana who lived in BC third century. He speaks regarding Prasna that clarifies that Prasna system was there at that time.

21 [Convert the position of Sun into minutes and add four hundred minutes to that. Divide it by 360 degrees. The rest (when increased by six) indicates seasons starting with spring.] The word to get 360 degrees. means that multiply thirty six by 10 and therefore we tend

Why add four hundred minutes? Seasons associated with the Tropical zodiac and equinox and not to the Sidereal zodiac. Therefore changing the Sidereal meridian or great circle of Sun into Tropical longitude is needed to determine the season. this can be why it's asked to feature four hundred minutes to the (sidereal) meridian of Sun. this offers a wonderful clue regarding the amount of this text! This statement points to the very fact that in the time of Sage Saunakiya the vernal equinox was four hundred min (i.e. 6 deg forty min) before Meshadi (the 1st point of Aries), in Aries 6 deg forty min, within the middle of Aswini Nakshatra. Presently vernal equinox

is some twenty-four deg forty-five min but Meshadi. Therefore from the amount of Sage Saunakiya the vernal equinox stirred (24 deg forty five min + 6 deg forty min) thirty one deg twenty five min backward. At the speed of roughly fifty sec per annum this may take 2262 years! Therefore, if the mean precession rate were assumed fifty sec per annum, then the approximate amount of this text and sage Saunakiya would be BC third century! allow us to keep in mind that the scholar of Sage Saunakiya the syntactical Katyayana was additionally believed to lived throughout BC third century itself, re-confirming the accuracy of this calculation, and therefore the authority of the on top of quote.i.e. Period of Sage Saunakiya and Sri Saunakiya Vivaha Patala = third century BC Now allow us to take into account the honesties of the map reading that is provided by the on top of quote. If our above understanding is true, then what the on top of quote advise the tropical meridian of Sun with 360, (and additionally multiply the rest with 6 to urge the season number) and therefore the result indicates the seasons starting with spring. Let us check whether this can be true for the present period or not. Date Suns Tropical meridian Calculation Season as per calculation Actual Season 21-Jul-2012 119 deg 1.98 (=2) Gresham Gresham 1-Mar-2011 340 deg twenty-six min five.67 (=6) Deep Winter Deep Winter 1-Oct-2013 188 deg twenty one min three.13 (=4) Sharat Sharat. Thus, the accuracy of the calculation is confirmed then is that the period of Sage Saunakiya and this text Saunakiya Vivaha Patala, supported this clear internal proof. Indian Astrology has borrowed a few things from Greek or Mesopotamia it is not true we can see here The Greeks and Mesopotamians do not have any system capable of doing pure mathematics. Available proof shows that from BC five hundred to AD thirteenth century they were incapacitated with the incorrect Ayanamsa value one degree precession in a hundred years. All their Astronomical science learning happened when the interaction with Mesopotamian, Egypt and India. The oldest calender text (Mul.Apin) of Mesopotamia dates back only to BC 700 wherever as oldest Indian calender text Vedanta Jyotisha dates back to BC 1400. The oldest Vedic literature text of Mesopotamia dates back to BC 700 only wherever because the first Indian Omen text Atharva blessed writing Parsishta dates back to the sacred text amount. The Greeks never had any Astrology before BC 60, and most of their Astrology is

borrowed, largely from Indian and partly from Mesopotamia.
