Vedic astrology, also known as Jyotish or Jyotisha is derived from the Sanskrit word jyotiṣa, which is the ancient Indian system of astronomy and astrology and it, remains an important facet in the lives of many. There are two essential concepts in Vedic Astrology.

First is to understand your character and the reasons behind your actions. Second is to know which planetary energy and time cycle you are in, favorable or unfavorable, which can be identified by your birth chart.

One owes a lot to one’s parents and ancestors. Each ancestor is actually present in the person as a genetic characteristic. In karmik terms, one inherits some karma of one’s parents and ancestors and each ancestor is actually present in the person as a karmik predisposition. The latter approach obviously extends to multiple lives and some karmik predisposition is inherited from the ancestors from a past life too, though they may not be related to one in this life.

By thinking of the deceased ancestors with gratitude and trying to give them emancipation, one is actually trying to free oneself from various karmic predispositions. One can view this as an external event of satisfying and emancipating an external entity. However, one needs to externalize first and perform external rituals, while thinking of what it means internally. This builds up one’s visualization and slowly brings about internal changes and eventually the desired internal change itself.

Aadi Krithigai also spelled as Aadi Krithika or Adi Krithigai, is celebrated on the Krittika star day of Aadi month. Aadi is the divine month when Gods and Goddesses decide to enhance the lives of their graceful creations-we, the humans.

Lord Muruga’s birth and numerous feats are interesting and inspiring and are elaborately described in the ‘Skanda Purana‘.

The pattern of our life starting from our birth can be explained by the Law of Karma. Without this Law, astrology makes little sense and Vedic astrology includes both the aspect of fate and that of free will.

Fate as per Karma means that our present condition is the result of our past actions from previous lives. The outer events of our present life are ruled by past Karma and can be difficult to change. Free will as per Karma means that we shape our future by our present actions.

The sense of smell is more primitive than other senses and is directly linked to that part of the brain which is older, in an evolutionary sagacity, as compared to the rest of the brain. Is it any marvel then, that incense, which has all to do with our sense of smell, dates back to the dawn of history and the burning of incense is one of the oldest practices of mankind.

Since Vedic times, fragrance has played a dominant role in Hindu religious rituals and is intimately linked to the Homa or Yagnas. The oblations or offerings consisting of scented and medicinal herbs, resins, barks, leaves, twigs & roots along with foodstuffs and ghee were made to the God of Fire, Agni who, according to mythology, carried them to the celestials. The initiating fumes, with their unique scented properties, purified the environment and had a revitalizing and energizing effect on the individuals.

“As you sow, so shall you reap”, goes an old saying. According to Hindu philosophy, all the situations and circumstances we encounter is actually a reaction to our own past actions. Our present karma will determine our future status. But there is a way you can challenge your destiny and change your old karma.
