In Hinduism
Jyotisha (astronomy and astrology)
Source: Google Books: Studies in the History of the Exact Sciences (Astronomy)Vināyakaśānti (विनायकशान्ति) (Cf. Grahaśānti, Grahayajña) refers to the “rite of appeasing Vināyaka”. The Grahaśānti section of the Yājñavalkyasmṛti (1.295-309) is immediately preceded by the section called Vināyakakalpa (1.271-294) which prescribes a rite to be offered to Vināyaka. The two rites are closely related to each other. [...] When Vināyaka was identified with Gaṇeśa, the rite of vināyakaśānti faded away and it was absorbed in the new rite of grahaśānti. That the two functions of Vināyaka were taken over by grahas and Gaṇeśa can be conjectured from the following statement in Yājñavalkyasmṛti 1.293-294:—“Thus worshipping Vināyaka and grahas according to rules, one gets the [good] results of karma and gets the highest bliss. One who [pays] worship offering [golden] tilaka to the Sun as well as to the great Lord Gaṇapati (Gaṇeśa) gets success”.
Jyotisha (ज्योतिष, jyotiṣa or jyotish) refers to ‘astronomy’ or “Vedic astrology” and represents the fifth of the six Vedangas (additional sciences to be studied along with the Vedas). Jyotisha concerns itself with the study and prediction of the movements of celestial bodies, in order to calculate the auspicious time for rituals and ceremonies.

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
