Experts focus on scientific aspects of astrology during month-long camp
Varanasi: A month-long astrology knowledge camp organised by Shastrarth Mahavidyalaya concluded on Sunday. A large number of people, including students and women participated in the camp.
College principal and camp coordinator Pawan Kumar Shukla said that the camp was not only an effort to enrich children with Vedic traditions, scientific perspective, and self-awareness but also became a strong medium for the preservation and promotion of Indian knowledge traditions.
Acharya Sanjay Upadhyay, who taught astrology at the camp, emphasised both the religious significance and scientific aspects of this science.
He explained how information about the past, present, and future can be obtained through forehead lines. A new research perspective was presented by integrating the planets in the birth chart with the study and teaching of these lines, showing how forehead lines and charts together can determine the direction of life.
He analysed the time cycle and periods, explaining that dividing time into three types - Sattva, Rajas, and Tamas periods - is most auspicious and fruitful for chart consideration. The camp also discussed medicine and medical science through the birth chart. Acharya Upadhyay said that by considering the indications of the chart, one can know which doctor is suitable, which medicine will be beneficial or not, and whether the treatment is beneficial for the ailment.
