2. Generalization

In this world, the man is the most spectacular creation with minute precision. Today the living environment of man has been changed proportionately, which is away from the physical world. Survival became predominant in every part of life. The man has no other option other than facing the situation as it is, under the conviction of destiny. The density of human life complications had been multiplied and the quantum of grief such as adversities, antisocial elements, disease and multifaceted bitter experiences leads to laborious frustration.

At this juncture, a substantial group followed Astrology to explore the possibility to find out the causes and effects of problems and enquire the ways and means to nullify the planetary afflictions and subsequent disorders in life. In this world, the man is the most spectacular creations with minute precision. Today the living environment of man has been changed proportionately, which is away from the physical world. Survival becomes predominant in every part of life. The man has no other option other than facing the situation as it is, under the conviction of destiny. Indian Astrology developed as science which offers appropriate remedial measures against the problems by means of medication, offering, chanting, penance and propitiating the deities of the relevant planets. Differentiating such deities are possible only through finding its corresponding planets according to incarnations, qualities and intentions in astrology. It reminds the responsibility for eternal Purusharthas of every individual. The waxing and waning cycle of moon is the true example of birth and death or otherwise survival and extinction of living organism. As the birth and death being beginning and end of life as natural rule, salvation of Atma and congregation with Paramatma becomes the ultimate objective of life. It is unfortunate that the modern scientific community treats this science as occult due to testimonial absenteeism.

The Indian Civilization has specified certain Vedic sacraments and moralities to be maintained by the man from pre-birth to post-death, meant for the lineal tradition. Abrogation of scientific sacraments and rituals are sinful as per Hindu Vedic custom and performing duty is necessarily relative. Application of modern scientific rules upon performance and observance of moralities in personal life may not work on several occasions, either Astrologic or Non-Astrologic sense. Astrology keeps the duties and responsibilities of the social beings, considering the impact on life patterns according to one’s social customs and traditional belief. The dispute among the supporters of Science and Non-Science with the proved or disproved facts will go on further till the moon and stars disappear on the sky. The arguments between the theists and atheists will also be extended for quite long. But the true confidence and personal affairs tied with common life will not allow to give up the science of Astrology from the society by putting same under the category of pseudoscience. Due to moral indignation, the obstinate philosophical mindset of the man will not change under any circumstances. Whenever the man became the witness of the natural calamities like hurricane, famine, abnormal climatic vicissitude, cancerous deaths, earthquake, global warming, fall of astral bodies and unexpected phenomena occurring in the world, people are forced to surrender before the so called Almighty with prayer. The undisputed faith and reverence on the omnipotent will call back the mankind with Heliolatry, Selenolatry and the similar adoration of natural deities. Today, the research on Vedic subjects is going on to find out the root cause of several mythologies. India is the only country who conducts Soma Yagas and Dhramasooya Yagyas for universal welfare as well as propitiating the natural Gods and Planets.

Calling back to Vedas wherein the worship of the Sun and Moon will proceed incessantly. Human life in this world is becoming mechanical whereas people make use of the benefits of technology and modern discoveries conscientiously. It should be better to link-up ancient thoughts and modern inference for the human welfare. While considering time factor, the natural laws resting on the human thoughts emphasizes that the artificial one never sustain in this world. The Moon is having the character of nonliving corpse which becomes bright due to reflection of light. The law of light is electromagnetic radiation within a certain portion of the electromagnetic spectrum of the moon which is visible to the human eye which is responsible for the sense of sight. The full and new moon symbolizes pleasure and displeasure occurring in every individual during his life cycle. The moon provides happiness to the entire creation with appeasing effect at night. It passes on influential energy from the third crescent stage itself and symbolize the rise and fall of life on every fortnight. Astrology helps to realize the stages of time factor of one’s life harnessed with happiness and grief. Since the intensity of pleasure and displeasure varies from man to man experience, an equilibrated study is impractical. The sociologists, numismatists, philatelists, Selenologists and Vexillologists are all one in giving ample historical importance of the positive and negative effects of moon which reflect upon the fortunes and misfortunes that visit mankind. No science exists in this world with zerodefect and all are subject to change from time to time.

Astrology will not be separated from the minds of commons as it has been entwined with spiritual experiences connected with personal belief on planetary deities adorned by the mass societies. Under this pretext, taking the utmost advantage of the Astrology as the forerunner of Astronomy and keeping equilibrium of mutual respect of both should be the responsibility of man. Astrology never recommends whereas it independently suggests keeping its responsibility as reproved (Anusshasana) science. ([...]) The present Administrators and Academicians need to realise the backwardness of Astrology and introduce fresh courses of Vedic Astrology and Yoga to keep enormous social benefits.

The meaningful quote from Samael Aun Weor seems to be apt that wherever there is light, there is consciousness. According to ancient Oracle of Delphi, Know yourself, and you will know the universe and its gods. Real astrology is discovered through experiencing the incredible spaces that are within us. In this civilized world, modern Astrology stands for awakening consciousness of the self that leads to spiritual elevation, natural wisdom, and a deep and pervasive love for humanity.
