Guest guest Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 Dear All, From mere mention of names of nakshatras in Rg Veda to deriving a relationship between the movement of the heavenly orbs to human destiny - there appears to have been a long journey. How can we trace the history of astrology? (I know there is a tour of history of astrology given by Shreenadh, but that describes how different branches of ancient astrology evolved over time without a direct reference to methods adopted for " reading of the rythm of time " ). Whoever has studied the ancient Indian texts (some very insightful references are there in the files section of this forum) quotes the almost exact calculation of speed of light, speed of revolution and rotation of planets, measurement of elliptical paths, distances of planets from each other at a given point of time and at different points of time as given in ephemeris....the stuff on which astrology is constructed....which was known / computed so many thousands of years ago! But how did the ancient people derive knowledge of all this??? Through super consciousness??? Or they were super intelligent beings from outer space who came to inhabit the earth? How does all this fit with the theory of evolution, where " intelligence " progresses gradually over time??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
