Astrology,or Jyotish, originated from The Vedas (Vedic Scriptures) dating back over 6,000 years. The world´s most ancient scriptures give evidence of a culture rich in the arts, philosophy, religion, and science. Jyotish was first mentioned in the Rig Veda, and references were also made in the classical Indian epics, the Ramayana, the Mahabharata, and the classic Bhagavad-Gita.
Jyotish is revered as one of the most important limbs of the Vedas. Jyotish, a Sanskrit word, translates to Science of Light. Jyotish is the remover of the darkness of ignorance. It is the eye of divine knowledge which is pure, supreme, and exalted.
Nice post, thanks. One query - You mentioned Vedic Astrology, is there any other type of Astrology as well?
