  • Astrology has been a major part of Indian Culture. The older generation uses astrology for everything - marriages, buying houses, getting jobs etc. And it's sad to see millennials also fall into a similar trap. In this video, I look at the principles behind astrology, scientific tests on astrology, and why believing in Astrology is harmful.

    I spelled arbitrary* wrong around the 5-minute mark.
    The tenets of vedic astrology and rashis migrated to india from greece. But there has been a tradition of nakshatras which were mentioned in ramayana and mahabharata.
    If you spot something, let me know and I'll add them here.

      Would like to know your opinion on some principles of astrology
      1) Saturn and Jupiter take 2.5 and 1 year to transverse one rashi and there are 12 rashis multiply both we get 30 years and 12 years to complete one cycle suggesting Saturn and Jupiter take that many years to complete one cycle around sun
      2)Rashis are assigned some elements like Saturn has rashis associated with gas and earth, Suggesting gaseous atmosphere with a earth (solid) core

      Vedic Astrology is not meant to do Predictive wisdom.
      Vedic Astrology itself says you should not do prediction.
      Prediction is not at all Goal.
      Astrology is used in Diagnostic and study of behavior and characteristics of a person.
      Whereas you are thinking it is Predictive Science.
      Astrology is to do more of inference and interpretation not to do conclusions.
      I'm most fond of science, but I think you have read only Science books and
      engrossed only within logical science not multidimensional thinking.

    While I never trust nor like astrology, I often used to lean towards it earlier. But the nail in the coffin came when I had applied for universities for masters and I got back to back rejects and had lost hopes. Then our neighbors came to us. He is an astrologer. He said stars are not with me and I won't be able to do master's yet. It not only pissed me off but given the state I was in, it completely broke me. Cannot forget how pissed I was at my parents for calling him. Fortunately one university accepted me and now I have completed my master's degree. That day onwards, whenever someone speaks about astrology to me, I shut him up. Had I believed in that shit, I would have never grown to be what I am today.

    I was in relationship with my girlfriend for 3years. Parents checked with 6 different astrologers and all of them predicted that I would die within 3-6 months of marriage. Also, I would lose wealth.
    Back then I used to be a believer and I too was scared. I started to learn more about my religion and at some point I felt it was illogical and cringe. I started my journey as an atheist. 15 months after marriage, our net worth grew and I'm still alive 🥂
    P.s. I didn't do any remedies the astrologer asked to do.

    To a believer, any attack on Astrology doesn't make sense because their personal astrologer is supposed to surpass all boundaries of common sense itself. If you finally debunk a particular Astrologer as well, then they'll just find another one. But anyways, astrology was a topic I had been waiting for, and this is the best video debunking it from an Indian perspective. I addition to all that you said, you could've added the fact that the position of stars in the night sky also changes very slowly over time which means that Astrology can never be a universal law. Lastly, I really get a lot of Vsauce vibes from this channel and you're doing a great job, just keep making quality content that you enjoy yourself.

      Astrology and horoscope have become shit because of too much traffic around them, everyone who can look like an astrologer is predicting future. But this doesn't mean that astrology is wrong or the pre-marriage compatibility calculations are wrong. Earlier people used to match a lot of things to negate any possibility of same blood marriage. But, I don't have any information about Mangal dosh as of now to prove it's legitimacy. Even then i would say that astrology is not fake, astrologers who have knowledge of the subject just don't come on tv or newspaper to tell you your future.

    great work on the research! only one recommendation, avoid calling people 'dumb' who fall for pseudo-science. They are driven by fear, so we need to alleviate that fear with a better alternative. Caaling them dumb or stupid would just shut them out completely, hence making no difference in their belief system.

      @kumarikamohanty Před 2 lety +16

      True. Good research indeed but calling people dumb here, is a bit insensitive. Humans in distress like to cling on to hope thru prayers and positive predictions. An IISc scientist from my family recovered from a chronic illness, while I believe it was medical science... His mother believes it was due to blessings of Amma Bhagwan (a couple in South); my relative spends insane amount of money on Amma Bhagwan, which onlookers find stupid, but for him it is the least he can do to keep his mother happy (his mother had donated her kidney to him).
      So there are many such factors that have kept the astrology industry thrive.

    Nice Video. I can illustrate another example of how flawed vedic astrology is. Vedic Astrology goes by Date of Birth, Place of Birth and Time of Birth and the horoscope changes drastically for every 15 minutes. I tested it with an astro software. So if you take the case of twins, who are born with a few seconds, minutes difference, accordingly they should have similar lives or at least similar timelines but we know that twins don't have similar lives or similar timelines. Vedic Astrology goes by a lot of general predictions, like Mars in 7th house is cursed for matrimony; when it coincides, you feel it's right. Therefore creating some kind of illusion in your mind to corroborate. I think all of us need to be extremely careful with this destiny changing business, it's dangerous and psychologically damaging. Best way to predict the future is to invent it :)

    1. Why are navgrahas given so much importance in astrology.
    2. What is the nature of this energy that connects planets to human bodies and has such a massive impact on our lives.
    3. What should be considered the time of birth in case of C-sections, which are manipulable. Why is the time of conception and formation of zygote not considered for astronomy.
    4. I asked them to show me any prediction that went right.
    No satisfactory answer from any of them and i was kind of dismissed for my grilling of the supposed ancient wisdom.

      " The title you have mentioned Vedic astrology but where is the definition of Graha as per it .? You just laugh out telling the Greek definition..? just because it supports your cause..?
      Your Rashi is where your sun is placed..?? Lol... You don't even know Rashi is the sign where your moon is placed and you are making video on Jyotisha..?
      @11:14 You said the name simha Rashi is because it looks like a lion in the sky and laughed at it... But where is it even mentioned in Vedic astrology...? So you were basically laughing at your own lies...
      Vedic astrology came with Alexander..!!! Seriously..? Heard about 18 rishis who compiled jyotishya..? No you haven't... Coz you know nothing...
      Some one has rightly said...
      fools always finds other fools who admire/follow them... You just have found a bunch of them . Good luck to you .."

      Did u see the contradiction in ur comment? If u believe in the so called higher power then u r just as "superstitious" as the person who believe in astrology.
