The word Yagya has its origin in the Sanskrit word ‘YAJAN’ meaning prayer, sacrifice, surrender. It also means action without expectation. It’s a specific ritual for gaining a peaceful and happy life on earth and it is meant for all kinds of human beings. Yagya is a science and a method of self realization- it’s a way of living. There are various kinds of Yagya. The kings and the rishis have been performing yagyas since time immemorial. The Gyaan Yagya is the most auspicious of all Yagyas. Among the other Yagyas following are the most popular ones-
1.) Agnihom Yagya
2.) Ashwamedh Yagya
3.) Brihaspati Yagya
4.) Devasatra Yagya
5.) Go-medg Yagya
6.) Gyaan Yagya
7.) Pitaamaha Yagya
8.) Raajsooya Yagya
9.) Sarmedh Yagya
10.) Som Yagya
11.) Vaajpeya Yagya
12.) Vishwajit Yagya
The process of Yagya involves the setting up of a Vedee (alter), lighting it with fire and offering Aahuti (oblations) to it. It is done in two parts- Mantra (sound energy) and Havishya (food of gods). Mantras are chants that invoke the gods and Havishya is the food that is offered to the gods for their satisfaction. Food is offered to all gods through Agni which is the symbol of mouth of all gods.
Yagya is a term associated with Indian astrology and is cognate with the English word ‘ignite’ and so is connected with fire. The process of Yagya involves an offering to gods which is consumed by the fire. Generally if one is going through a bad phase in life due to negative influence of the planets, he can perform a yagya and sort the problem out. But it’s important to consult an astrologer before performing a Yagya, as a wrong choice of Yagya can increase the malefic effect of the planets which in its turn can further aggravate the situation. The astrologers will advice which Yagya to perform depending on the nature of trouble. Besides, it’s also important to think a lot and doing a little bit of research before deciding on the vedic priest who will perform the Yagya. It can be done in your presence or absence. Whatever be your decision, you should first find out if the priest you have selected is reputed or not, as there are many unscrupulous people in this business. If not chosen properly it can be an utter misuse of money, as a Yagya performed in a wrong way yields no result.

Jyotish- Illuminating the Future of mankind
Jyotish, which means light or lord, is the study of the divine and expressing it through time and space. It is the existing form of ancient astrology and is still rampant in India. It is known as the Eye of the Veda for its ability to see the future. It is a process of drawing a parallel between people’s inner qualities and ways of life and the time and places of their births, through the relative positions of different heavenly bodies to one another. The origin of Jyotish can be traced back to the 3rd millennium BC, but it’s still very much in vogue and most people prefer to consult it before taking any important decision. There is a popular tradition among the Hindus to keep the name of the newborn on the basis of their Jyotish chart. Besides, Jyotish concepts are hugely in use in the organizations of calendars and holidays as well as in many other areas of life and science. Jyotish is also known for providing solutions for the problems detected by the Horoscope or astrological charts of people.
Earlier on the Hindu Brahmins used to practice Jyotish, but in recent time India has seen a renaissance in the field of studying Jyotish and other Vedic sciences. The Indian universities are planning to begin sponsor courses on this science. The study of Jyotish is known to be timeless and universal in nature. It primarily deals with the influence of the stars and planets on human beings. Jyotish decodes the fundamental rules of the Nature and looks for conveying to mankind a technique which smoothes their approach to life in association with Nature. By doing that it increases the opportunities for betterment and decrease suffering.
Jyotish Shastra is an important part of Vedanta and is known as Vedic astrology. It is based on what Western astrologers call the whole house system and recognizes nine grahas which means heavenly bodies or planets. The nine planets are: Surya or Sun, Chandra or Moon, Mangala or Mars, Budha or Mercury, Guru or Jupiter, Sukra or Venus, Sanaiscarya (Sani) or Saturn, Rahu or Ascenting/North Lunar Node and Ketu or Decending/South Lunar Node. However, there is a fundamental difference in the measurement of the Zodiac in the Jyotish Shastra and in the Western astrology. Jyotish recognizes the sidereal Zodiac (the stars are believed to be the fixed background against which the motion of the planet is measured), while the Western astrologers uses the tropical zodiac (the movement of the planets is measured against the position of the sun on the Spring Equinox.).

Horoscope- The Eternal Match Maker
Horoscope is an astrological chart that maps the position of nine planets across a number of houses representing the solar system, in a graphical pattern. It’s a well known part of Indian astrology and is believed to that the astrological charts can identify and predict the character and fate of a person. The Indian astrologers believe that the horoscope exerts an important influence on human life. That is why the matching of horoscope is very popular and widely practiced in Indian matrimony. Birth horoscopes are compared once a marriage is fixed in order to find if the two people are compatible. It’s an ancient Vedic practice to match the astrological charts of two people. The matching process is done in eight spheres of life. The charts are made on the basis of the full name of the concerned persons and the date, time and place of their birth. Earlier the Indian marriages were finalized only after the matching of horoscopes of the bride and groom.
In order to prepare a perfect chart, one should provide with the exact date, time and place of birth, as even a small error can vastly influence the interpretation of the horoscope. Today there are many online service providers to can prepare your horoscope online. But often there are differences in interpretations by different service providers. The general trend is to consult a Vedic astrologer in order to get a proper interpretation of a horoscope, though the interpretation of different astrologers too can vary. Horoscopes are mostly used to find out the positive and negative characters of a person. Almost every religion has the tradition of matching astrological charts, though the technique differs from one religion to another. However, the most iniquitous attribute across all religion is the Manglik Dasha, which occurs when Mars is placed in 1st, 4th, 7th, 8th or 12th house. These houses stand for the happiness, mental peace, marriage, longevity and expenditure. In spite of having a diverse cultural mosaic, the astrologers across India believes in the ill effect of Manglik Dasha. If a marriage occurs with one of the partners having Manglik Dasha, this could mean devastation in their married life as there would ensue constant quarrel, divorce and even death of spouse. But there is a solution to this problem- Performing puja, making the Manglik wear a coral or getting him/her married to a tree to absorb the aggression, are some of them.

Indian Horoscope- The Chart of Time-Space
Indian Horoscope is a map of space and time- an “image of the hour.” It is basically a chart of the positions of the sun, moon and the planets in space at a particular time and place on earth. It is like an image of a particular place in respect to time and space. If that particular time or place indicates the birth time and place of an individual then the horoscope will be termed as “natal horoscope” or “natal chart” or “birth chart”. The natal horoscope differs from people to people as the planets are constantly on the move. Astrological analysis of a man starts with his horoscope that requires exact date, time and place of his birth. The technical meaning of a horoscope is close to that of a pack of medicine. In any pack of medicines we will find-
-manufacturing date
-expiry date
-batch number
-composition
-indication
-contra-indication
Similar to that the Indian horoscope carries a stamp from Nature and contains
-date of birth
-time of birth
-place of birth
For preparing an Indian horoscope the astrologer will need astronomical data that will provide him with the exact positions of the planets on their respective orbit of movement at the time of birth of the concerned person. The place of birth of a person helps in determining the geographical latitude and longitude and calculating their differences from the celestial latitude and longitude. The main objective of studying astrology is judge a horoscope accurately. The Indian horoscope helps an astrologer understand the psychophysical nature of individuals and can predict his latent potential, role in life, health, wealth, friends and foes, ups and downs, life span, diseases, kinds of difficulties one can face in life, nature of relationship that one will share with his parents, siblings, partner and peers.
Since time immemorial the application of Indian horoscope is rampant in the country. Be it birth, death or marriage, horoscope is an integral part of every event in India. But it’s most popular in the Indian marriages. In case of arranged marriage in India once the marriage is finalized, the elders of both the family exchange the horoscope of the would-be groom and bride and consult an astrologer to find out the compatibility between the two. The two things that are given utmost importance while considering the horoscopes of brides and grooms are the graha and the dasha, as without the compatibility of these two no marriage can be successful, believes the Indian astrologers.

Vedic Astrology- Most Popular Astrology
The most popular among the sciences of Indian astrology is the Vedic astrology. In India it is known by the name Jyotish and deals with the sidereal positions of the planet. There is a basic difference in the technique of calculation in Vedic astrology and that of Western astrology. The zodiac of the Weatern astrology is based on the equinoxes. According to the Western astrology the position of planets changes with respect to the stars. Vedic astrology believes in twelve constellations from the Babylonian, and also has an additional “lunar” zodiac based on 28 lunar constellations or Nakshatras. The twenty eight Nakshatras are- Ashwini, Mrigshirsha, Ashlesha, Hasta, Anuradha, Uttarashadha, Poorvabhadrapada, Bharani, Ardra, Magha, Chitra, Jyeshtha, Shravana, Uttarabhadrapada, Krittika, Punarvasu, Purvaphalguni, Swati, Moola, Dhanishtha, Revati, Rohini, Pushya, Uttarphalguni, Vishakha, Purvashadha, Shatbhisha and Abhijit.
Since the ages of Veda, Vedic astrology is considered to be a noble science and dates back to 4000 years. The maharishis of the Vedic era founded, investigated and developed this science of astrology. Among the contributors the names of Aryabhatta, Parashar, Varaha, Mihira, Garga and Kalyan Varma are still remembered and revered. Vedic astrology is based on the following three seminal subjects-
1.) Planets- Vedic astrology recons only nine planets- i.e. Sun, Moon, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, and teo Shadowy planets Rahu (the dragon’s head) and Ketu (the dragon’s tail).
2.) Stars- the science of Vedic astrology identifies twenty seven constellations from Aswini to Revathy.
3.) Signs- The planets are believed to move under twelve signs of zodiac thus covering the entire sky from Aries to Pisces.
The basic principle of this astrology is the belief that all things are linked. The karma or fortune is determined by a predestined cosmic design. In this science birth is seen as the incarnation of a soul in a body at a specific time and place which is a reflection of the greater whole. Just as different flowers bloom at different time depending on the time that is congenial for them, birth too is dependent on the congenial position of the stars. Vedic Astrology believes in Dashas which are “planetary ruling system” that provide a system to judge the effects of the planets throughout a person's life, by indicating how the planets distribute their effects throughout a lifetime (Wiki Defination). The Dashas endows the Vedic astrologers with a tool for predicting the trends, changes and events in a man’s life with perfection and precision.
