It has always been a myth that believing in astrology seems such a funny thing, yet the same people will go to temple and will do the prayer mentioning their born nakshatra to the pandit yet will say ” OMG, you believe into astrology in this era. That’s so old myth and lame.” Well, why do you go to temple and pray by your moon nakshatra that you born? because THAT.IS.ASTROLOGY. You pray mentioning your moon nakshatra to get peace of mind because moon represents mind.
Why do you go and pray rounding the nine grahas in the temple? because THAT.IS.ASTROLOGY. Yet there are people saying they don’t believe in astrology while doing all these in the name of culture and religion. Vedic astrology plays major role in entire Hinduism and Indian culture. That’s why its called Vedic.
Let’s go back into Puranas and Grahas. The 9 Grahas in the temple represents the nine planets in the Vedic astrology, which is Sun, Moon, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, mars, mercury and Rahu Ketu (moon’s shadow). All these planets play their part in each human’s life and that it what we called Vedic Chart. Rahu Ketu doesn’t have physical planet in the solar system because they are shadows of moon which is we called as Eclipse. Even in this era the astrology is there and doing their part. Just because you don’t believe it, it doesn’t mean others shouldn’t believe it too. Each and everyone have their own beliefs and let’s respect it.
