Pet peeve: “Vedic Astrology” isn’t Vedic. The Vedanga Jyotisha of Lagadhacharya is only concerned with the calendar and fixing the times of rituals. This system was abandoned in favor of the five siddhantas which form the basis of contemporary jyotisha and show Greek (or more perhaps Babylonian) influence.
Anyway, even leaving aside scientific views from a philosophical point of view I don’t see how this kind of prediction could work. There are an infinite regression of past lives. How can you know in which life which karma happened and in which life it got cancelled?
- jelliclesfarm 6y agoIt doesn’t matter to me. I am reading original Sanskrit texts and Brighu Samhita and some KP padhathi. Parashara and Jaimini. So I am calling it Vedic astrology. Re your second point. I don’t know how it would work either and that’s what I want to find out. Predictive AI might seem like God but we know it’s numbers. It is not scientific to discard something before it’s tested. If I were to write a sci fi short about it...i would say that it seems like some kind of source code or predictive AI machine. Or someone outside of what we consider our reality is running a simulation. But this isn’t fiction. It has centuries of practical and real life application. It’s worth looking into it.
