Just because they hadn’t invented microwave
ovens yet does not mean the early Hindus were backward ignorant
hicks, cowering in fear of wrathful deities or whatever is the
prevailing stereotype.
Yet each of the aforementioned
systems is based on Astrology.
Reclaiming
this lost spiritual heritage is central to our survival as a
species. Astrology is an example of this deeper connection to
truth and a large part of reclaiming our spiritual roots.
Yet each of the aforementioned

Many other Earthly cycles such as high and low tides,
women’s menstrual cycles and the mating habits and rituals of
many other Earth creatures are determined by the Moon’s monthly
orbit.
The same is true with a
month; it is the 30 days it takes the Moon to wax from new to
full. A year is the time it takes the Earth to complete its
annual orbit around the Sun.
This is
understandable as most Americans encounter Astrology through
the daily horoscope or some other equally fluffy and trivial
medium.
Of
the 3 main Vedic Sciences, Vedic Astrology is probably the most
misunderstood, especially here in the West, where many regard
Astrology as superstition and foolishness.
Modern arrogance has a tendency to dismiss the
wisdom of ancient civilizations because they lacked our modern
technology, with all its implied sophistication. But we should

As
an occult Science, Astrology reigns supreme. However, given
that it is based on distant objects rather than our hand,
(palmistry) colorful cards (Tarot) or numbers, (numerology) its
effects are harder to cognize.
Just because I can turn on my computer
or drive a car does not mean I understand how it works. If
Buddha were to appear today he would be clueless as to how to
operate a Palm pilot or a spreadsheet program. That does not
make me more intelligent or better able to understand the world
than Buddha.
From our vantage point
here on Earth we can see the Orion Nebula, believed to be the
birthplace of our Sun, or the Pleiades cluster of stars, newly
hatched worlds in the making, and many other sky objects, and
we are humbled by them.
The first
thing human beings learned was to pay attention to the heavens.
Our Human struggles are a function of our
falsely

The Sun energizes us as well as
all creatures that receive its light and warmth.
How often

not the Sun that is moving, it is the Earth that is turning.
