Astrology is the study of positions and aspects of celestial bodies in the belief that they have an influence on the course of natural earthly occurrences and human affairs, said Haryana and Punjab Governor Kaptan Singh Solanki on Sunday.
Expressing these views while speaking in an event of Astrology, organised by Jyotish Prangan here, Solanki said, Astrology is only an attempt to have a glimpse of the future stream of life and foresee the likely trend of events which would consequently help us to manage our affairs in a more sagacious and expeditious manner.
Describing Astrology as identity of India, Solanki said future is not only of human beings but of institutions and countries also. He said Swami Vivekananda rightly predicted that 17th Century belongs to England, 18th to France, 19th to Germany, 20thto America and 21st Century would be of India.
The Governor said Astrology speaks about world beyond. Human being acts as puppet in the hands of destiny. He asked the people to do selfless service and shun desires.
The Governor also said that Astrology is very useful and have deep meanings in it which should be understood properly and thoroughly. I would help us to minimize our problems if adopted and followed in true spirit. The need of the hour is to spread the rich values of Astrology to create healthy society and peace in the world, he added.
Solanki further said, “India is accepted as the leading country in the field of astro-sciences by world renowned astrologers. The ancient Indian Atharva Veda is the starting point of Indian Astrology.”
