Origin and Development of Jyotisha Sastra

Sundarjee

Abstract :

There are in the heavens several bodies which appear to shed their light directly on this Earth; and also some others which, having no light of themselves, serve to reflect that of the Soorya , and thereby become visible to our organs of sight. The former are termed Sthira Nakshatra (Fixed Stars), because they appear to retain the same situation or to be fixed in the same place; but the later, being observed to wander, are termed Planets. The number and distance of the stars are so extensive. In this article the origin and development of Indian astrology and the names of famous astronomers, sages and insighters of our great Indian astrologers as well as their work for the development of astrology is given.
