Best Indian Astrologers
India and Indian astrology are so ancient that hardly any
chronological account of Vedic
Astrology is available today. The Vedas (ancient timeless hymns)
are connected with
Astrology.Automatically the astrology developed from teachings
of the Guru to his disciple
by word alone.The fact that the birth chart of Sri ama and Sri
!rishna are available today
proves that the ancient science of astrology was well developed
even "### years and earlier
to it. The first $nown author of Vedic astrological writings is
Sage %arasara who lived "###
years ago. &is famous wor$s 'I&AT %AAS&AA &A
S&ASTA* and +I&AT
SA,&ITA* form the basis of today-s Vedic astrology. Then
came the disciple of parasara
named aimini ,aharishi who added aimini system to %arasari. Then
we hear of the Indian
astrologers who read the horoscope of GA/TA,A the /00&A
around 12## years and
bac$. Their names are not mentioned any where but their
prediction has been proved beyond
any doubt. Then in the reign of !ing 3handra gupta Vi$ramditya
of two great Indian
astrologers named VAA&A ,I&IA and !AA40ASA in present
/55ain. VAA&A,I&IAS +I&AT ATA!A* and its treatise by
hattotpala are famous and e6haustive.
!aalidasa wrote /TTAA !AA4A,AITA which is the basis of &indu
Vedic rituals even
today. The invasion of 7orth India by Tur$s8 ,ongols and
,ughal9s8 and destruction of the
two great ancient universities of 7aalanda and Ta$shasila along
with all Vedic scriptures
virtually brought an end to Vedic astrology in the 7orth e6cept
some places li$e Varanasi and
&imalayan foot hill regions.
,ean while Vedic astrology got its revival in South particularly
in !erala. ne namboodari
rahmin whose name is not mentioned wrote the famous +%AS&7A
,AGA* which is a
comprehensive wor$ of Indian astrology. The 3omments on this
boo$ by the great Indian
astrologer 0r .V aman who was also called the abhinava varaha
,ihira is as under+prashna ,arga covers almost the entire range of
sub5ects8 ATA!A or predictive astrology8
,uhurta or evectional astrology8 %arihara or emedial astrology
and nimittas or the
'S3I:73: ; ,:7S*.
n the other side in Tamil nadu a separate branch of astrology
called 7aadi astrology came to
be found from ancient palm leaf writings. Several types of 7aadi
leaves by different sages
were found. The famous ones are '!A!A &/S&A70A 7AA0I*8
