Loss of the treasure

But the reason why astrology is not commanding that amount of respect is mainly because the advent of European attitudes which brought in materialism rather than spiritualism  as the touchstone of science.

They could master the science of physics and chemistry but could not understand a bit of metaphysics. India which was pioneering this mega divine science fell in the hands of aliens very unfortunately and our substantial roots were lost.

Of course  now there is a realisation and renaissance happening , particularly by many western scholors themselves.

By no stretch of imagination any one can even dream to undermine the importance and role of medicine in human health and welfare  but we just want to say that astrology has also a very important role to play in human health and success.

It  is in the interest of humanity to use this magnificent science also for their physical and mental well being.
