What is Astrology?
Astrology is the application of the language of celestial bodies. These heavenly bodies, based on science and maths, are mapped in the shape of a horoscope. Astrologers in India believe that their precise places on a horoscope signify happenings in the event of people, of multitudes and geographic areas.

Whether the Sun, the Moon, the planets and the stars influence the terrestrial phenomena, or they indicate such happenings by their respective dispositions, is irrelevant. The most important thing to us is that variants in planetary positions determine variations in the events around the world. The correlations are just too powerful to be thrown aside by the critics of astrology. Best astrologer in India is someone who analyses these events with a scientific eye.

Can you ever imagine the supernatural powers of our ancient rishis?

The Surya Siddhanta is the name of a Sanskrit treatise in Indian astronomy from the late 4th-century or early 5th-century CE. Surya Siddhanta explains rules to compute the moves of different planets and the moon relative to several constellations, diameters of different planets and calculates the orbits of various astronomical bodies. The text maintains, based on Markanday and Srivatsava, the earth is a spherical form. Indian scriptures on astronomy cover a significant length of time. These can be categorised as ancient (many thousands of years old), to the moderately ancient (one thousand years old or so), to the most recent (a few hundred years old).

Surya Siddhanta is an ancient book by this classification, and the exact author is yet unknown. You could request for youtube videos by the best astrologer in Chennai on Surya Siddhanta.
