Numerology based on Vedic Tradition: Learning to make a Karmic Horoscope and benefit from it to do the appropriate Present Karma for inner Peace and H - Paperback

by Vinod Verma (Author)

Many think that astrology is for predicting future and they can have a better hold on the future if they know about the happenings beforehand. This is an erroneous notion, as in the Vedic tradition and culture, astrology is not meant to predict the future, as nobody can predict the future entirely. If it were so, then where is the human freedom? Astrology predicts principally the results of our past karma and the only way to counteract the results of the past karma is through present karma. Therefore, astrology is meant to guide you and to help develop your positive qualities and provide you guidance for eradicating the factors or qualities that lead you ultimately to bad fortune. The book is based on the Vedic tradition which is number oriented and the significance of numbers has been inspired from cosmogony and cosmology. Like the cosmos has its influence on us, these numbers also effect our day-to-day lives. Besides that, numbers play an important role in the performance of all rituals and ceremonies. Performance of fire ceremonies, weddings, entrance into a new house (grihpravesh), naming the newborn, beginning of a new work or business or starting a construction, and thousands of other daily rituals are performed on a calculated specific time and day. Vedic mathematics is famous in the world and it gave the world the concept of zero and of decimal. The advanced astronomy and astrology and interaction of all what exists in the cosmos with each other is used to calculate the special dates for performance of the rituals and ceremonies. For example, the rosary used for japa (repetition of a mantra) in yoga has 108 beeds. The distance from the earth to the sun is 108 times the diameter of the sun. Thus, this number is used to reach the celestial plane. The present book illustrates some amazing concepts of the ancient Vedic wisdom related to the numbers and how they can guide you in your everyday life.
