Astrology
and Vedic Yajnas / Rituals
Narrated by Madhushri Mukerjee
As per Vedic Astrology texts, there are two types
of Yajnas / rituals or tasks - the daily ones and
the occasional ones. The daily Yajnas / rituals are
those which a person accomplishes on a daily basis.
In addition, daily prayers to "Your Deity" also come
within the purview of the above. While the occasional
ones are often done for fulfilling a particular wish.
This wish may be as diverse as the desire for having
a child, the desire for wealth in times of financial
constraints, having a long term romantic affair /
stability in a love relationship, success on the business
front or getting rid of certain diseases. In this
way, the basis for performance of occasional duties
may be anything related to a person or collective
welfare. In such a situation, a person seeks the help
of astrology when the desires are not completely fulfilled.
A learned Astrologer arrives at a decision after
collectively analysing the placement of various
planets in a person's Horoscope chart. Accordingly,
the Astrology prediction is given and Astrology
remedies in the form of Yajnas / rituals is prescribed
for fulfilling the particular desire.
The relationship between astrology and Vedic Yajnas
/ rituals is one and important. This is because
the auspicious time cannot be found without the
help of astrology whereas Vedic Yajnas / rituals
cannot be performed without the help of any auspicious
time.
