VEDIC ASTROLOGY FORUM



To understand this vedic astrology forum we need to note that  India is a land of many type of mysteries, occult, astrology  and spritual science and  one of the world’s oldest civilizations. It has given birth to countless sciences, philosophies, and spiritual texts. Vedic Astrology (Jyotish) is one of these treasures, with roots tracing back as far as 1500–500 BCE. Ancient sages such as Rishi Parashara and Rishi Bhrigu are among the most revered astrologers in history. Their works—Bhrigu Samhita and Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra (BPHS)—are considered foundational texts of Jyotish.

From Varahamihira to modern thinkers like K.S. Krishnamurti (KP Astrology), astrology has continued to evolve, incorporating new ideas while preserving timeless principles.
