Astro- Ayurved

When I was just a little girl
I asked my mother
what will I be
will I be pretty
will I be rich
here’s what she said to me
que sera sera
whatever will be, will be
(By Jay Livingstone & Ray Evans )

Though every one is sure that whatever will be, will be; every person has curiosity to know about himself. One always tries to know what he is and what his future will be. This want of knowing future is inborn and that is how every human being is associated with astrology directly or indirectly.

Vedic astrology is the Indian system of astrology. The science of Indian astrology is based on astronomy but it is different than astronomy in totality. The foundation of Vedic astrology is connection between microcosm and macrocosm. Planate, Stars and constellations have profound effect on living organism including men, animals and plants. Reflections of intrinsic nature of celestial bodies can be seen in men, animals and plants. Position and movement of celestial bodies (at birth and relative position) directly influence the life on the earth and can affect personality, human affairs, other terrestrial matters as well as health of a person. Effect of celestial bodies can be used as a primary tool in the interpretation of past, present and prediction of future.

While studying Ayurved (Indian Medicine), we learnt that Ayurved advocates two protocols of treatments. First in the form of various medicines “yuktivyapashraya chikitsa” (Herbo-mineral & Panchkarma), second in the form of “daiva vyapashraya chikitsa” that is Mani (gem therapy) and Mantra, and Yantra. I would say that a definite base of medical science lies behind Mani, mantra & yantra.
While practicing medicine I was curious to know why and how many incurable and difficult to treat diseases get cured and we call them anecdotal cases! What lies behind- Destiny? Whether the science of astrology can be effectively used in diagnosing as well as treating patients? …

The want of knowing the reason behind these cases compelled me to study astrology, esp. astro medicine. I was amazed to see effect of moon (effect of position during birth time and movement of moon) on mental health of a person. As per dictum in Ayurvedic text moon is the lord of mind (Manasachha Chandrama”). I could establish a link between mental illness and lunar effects. With the help of astro-Ayurved (gem therapy, Mantra and herbal medicine as per persons natal chart and constellation), I treated many mental disorders, psychosomatic disorders and got encouraging results. We applied principle of astrology and ayurved while treating other conditions also and got encouraging results. This boosted interest in learning more and more about astro-medicine. It gave us a mission! The mission is to propagate Astro-ayurved on a huge platform.

Lot of misunderstanding and misconceptions are prevalent in the society regarding astrology and astro-medicine. Old traditional beliefs and myths about this science over- ruled for many years and no one could give scientific and logical reasoning behind predictions and solutions.
For last 10 years we have been working in the field of astrology (Kundali, Palmistry, Numerology, Vastu, Mantra and Yoga therapy) and astro-ayurved.

We have been teaching and trying to educate people and our students through logical reasoning and various case studies to prove the strength and accuracy of our ancient science of astrology.
