WHAT IS INDIAN ASTROLOGY?
Hindu astrology, also known as Jyotisha or Vedic astrology, is deeply rooted in Hinduism and is one of the six auxiliary disciplines associated with the Vedas. While its origins are debated, it incorporates elements of astronomy and unique features like the sidereal zodiac and lunar mansions. Despite being labeled a pseudoscience, it influences various aspects of Hindu life, including naming newborns and decision-making processes. Classical Indian astrology draws from texts like the Bṛhat Parāśara Horāśāstra and Sārāvalī. Despite criticism, astrology maintains a significant cultural presence, even finding support in Indian universities. Its key components include planetary periods, heavenly bodies, transits, planetary combinations, and houses, all aimed at predicting and understanding human life.
WHAT IS PURANJAY ASTROLOGY?
In the dawn of the new millennium, we embarked on a profound journey with Puranjay Astrology, initially christened “Sri Sri Mahakaal Astrology,” setting our roots in a modest office nestled along the bustling Beliaghata Main Road. Our vision crystallized into a dual mission: first, to confront head-on the pervasive influence of negative luck wreaking havoc on individuals’ lives; and second, to illuminate the authentic essence of Indian astrology, a beacon amidst a landscape clouded by fraudulent practitioners and deceitful charlatans preying upon the vulnerable. Our resolve was unwavering, fueled by a deep-seated commitment to restore faith in this ancient science, transcending the erroneous associations that relegated astrology to the realm of mysticism and mere superstition. Rather, we staunchly advocated for its legitimacy, grounded in the profound interplay of astronomy, mathematics, and psychology—an intricate tapestry weaving together cosmic forces, numerical calculations, and the depths of human consciousness.
As the years unfolded, our dedication bore fruit, fostering a community of believers and seekers drawn to the authenticity and integrity of our practice. By the time 2022 arrived, the confines of our initial space could no longer contain the burgeoning spirit of our enterprise. Thus, with a sense of both nostalgia and anticipation, we bid farewell to our humble beginnings and embraced a new chapter, relocating to the vibrant heart of Kolkata at 113C, Dr. Suresh Chandra Banerjee Road, Kolkata-700010, within the welcoming embrace of Kailash Apartment’s Ground Floor, strategically positioned opposite the Beleghata Post Office. This monumental transition symbolized not just a physical move but a profound reaffirmation of our unwavering commitment to serving our clientele with the utmost integrity, professionalism, and reverence for the timeless wisdom encapsulated within the realms of Indian astrology.
