For last two years I did lot of reading and tried to understand logic behind Vedic astrology and how it was used.
Sage Parasara father of Ved Vyasa authored Brihat Parasara Hora Shastra which is Vedic Astrology encyclopedia is written in the form of dialogues.
In ancient India astrology was very advance. Understanding of seven planets was very advance and correct to this date. In Vedic astrology retrograde planets and its roles are very well defined. Which tells they have complete knowledge of planets movement? Dasa system is based on Sun and Moon. Importance of Moon movement, tells complete knowledge of eclipse. It gives importance of Waning and Waxing moon. Importance of strength and degree from Sun and earth is very well documented.
Complex calculation of Dig Bala, Sad bala, aspects on other planets, planetary intervention, Ashitakarvarga and planetary rays. These calculations require good mathematical/algebra concepts.
I came to conclusion that they have advanced knowledge of solar system, algebra and geometry. They must be recording planetary movement for years to come to these concepts. I still donât think that they have received some divine lecture and wrote everything in one shot.
During my visit to Greenwich planetarium, UK, it was written on one of display, there is a dispute between Arabs and Indians regarding who invented Zero, Greeks and Indian regarding planetary movement.
