This sacred knowledge is an integral part of astrology. It requires a brief description here.
Providing an exhaustive detail
about it
is beyond the ken of an
ordinary person. European philosophers
and thorough scholars of astronomy whose advancement in the sphere of knowledge and had influenced the environs of Egypt and Greece
on one hand and Iran and India on the other left no
stone unturned to unfold the
mystery of marvels of His might vested in the formation
of strata of the earth and the shape and
layers of the skies.
Sky,
Stars and Solar System: Our
solar system which is a mirror
of knowledge and wisdom remains
unraveled and its expanse is so enormous
that our
sight will become blurred even
at the farthest point
where nothing will be visible
except a blue cover. Human mind is
incapable of understanding and explaining this mysterious mechanism. The
telescope of intellect alone may help us realize that this marvel of nature has
in it wonders of myriad hues send colors. It is marked with the presence of
clouds, air, thunder, magnetic effect, mist-smoke, rain, sunlight, moon and
stars. This visual scope of nature termed by mathematicians as sky is a model
of magic and wonder whose reality cannot be perceived through naked eyes. The Almighty
God Who crated man from a fistful dust with His unsurpassable power and utmost
prudence to know the nature of his might and wisdom and made visible the
refulgence of the world from Adam, the nature from the world and the universe
form nature is no doubt the
sustainer of the universe. He has
divided the phenomenal world into five elements (tatva). The existence depends
on these five elements which are destined to
perish in themselves.
Scope
of the Universe: The visual circumference of nature called
sky, the highest sky by
astronomers has the earth in its
centre and a little above the earth
there rests the moon that
completes one rotation in 27 days. This is a wonderful gallery of divine
artifact. Ancient philosophers have
described as elliptical in shape and established their 360 degrees. Divided by twelve, 30 degrees fall
in the share of each house. The sixtieth part of each degree is known as minute
(kula). Likewise, the sixtieth part of a
minute is called second (bikula) and the
sixtieth part of a second is termed as
sub-second (upkula) through which the practitioners of astrology infer relevant
useful points pertaining to astrology
in astronomical findings.
Spheres
of Heavens: The ancient philosophers
and cosmologists divided celestial spheres on such a pattern that one sphere
fell under twelve houses. The shape of these houses was determined through
planetary combinations while upper and lower spheres rotate in their own
respective ways.
