Jyotish is also infused with the religious, psychological and physical spirit of Hinduism, Yoga and Ayurveda. Time is the greatest force controlling the universe for all things originate through time.
All matter is in a state of either creation, preservation or destruction.
In ancient times the Gods were seen to be personifications of the movement of time. To the ancient seers the Gods were the planets which reflect the light that controls the energy of time through our solar system. The planets instigate the power of the divine intelligence or God. To understand the energies of the planets is to understand the language of God and the very forces that influence us throughout life. As the controllers of time, the planets are also the controllers of karma or destiny.
