Introduction
Suspense rules human life. This suspense causes tensions,blood pressure related diseases, heart attacks and diabetes etc.
This suspense creates friends and enemies. Suspense makes both
attachments and detachments. It makes relatives. It makes
relations. It is all and all.
Expectations fill life in human beings. Human being lives in
expectations. Expectations do increase bit by bit when they are
fulfilled. Expectations come down when they fall short.
No one wishes to be poor. No one wishes to die of hunger.
No one wishes to be a mischief. No one wishes to take on crime.
But, poor, differently able beings, crime committers, mischievous
persons are around us. Hundreds die every day of hunger.
Want a son to look after. Want a family to look after. Want
enough wealth to enjoy. Wishes are endless. But most of them die
in the initial stage itself.
Disasters devastate nature from time to time. Human
mistakes take the toll from time to time. Technology proves
dangerous from time to time. Rains are life but they hardly struck.

Human beings are completely confused. They do not know
what happens in the next minute. The next minute is suspense.
Who controls all these things? Who dictates all these things? Why
it happens so? Why can’t we control them? Is there any way to
control what is happening?
Is this universe indefinite? Is there a beginning to it? Is it has
an end? Why people are suffering differently?
Who controls the universe? Can we call that force as God?
Can Time be called as God or different? Why God not favors
everybody alike? Is there a God? What is the starting and ending
point of a living being? Who dictates the life of a living being?
Who decides the next minute?
A vast tradition of research in the west is going on since the
middle of 15th
century to know the universe, its genesis, factors
behind it, its controller etc. Many contributed to this mission.
Many are still contributing to it. Starting from Copernicus to
Newton, Johannes Kepler to Albert Einstein, James Hopwood
Jeans to the present day legend Stephen Hawking, there is a
galaxy of personalities who worked in this space. They have
discovered many things. They have explained many things. They
have contributed a lot. They are behind the development of the
present day science.

The present (stage of) development in science is evident of
their contribution.
Unfortunately a major section of the universe was neglected.
Major discoveries about the universe were left to decay. Major
literature was compressed to be the literature for a section of
people.
No one is responsible for this state. Time is responsible for it.
No one has direct or indirect role in burying the glory of the past.
No doubt the modern development helped the humanity. No
doubt the contributors are life breathers for many. No doubt the
modern discoveries help the humanity a lot and strive for the
welfare of living beings.
But at the same time, there is a lot waiting our attention.
Answers are available to many or all of our questions. The present
day scholars are searching for answers to many questions which
were already solved a long time back.
This is not a blame game. There is no intention to say that all
that discovered belongs to the neglected section. The only
intention to express is that many of the unsolved problems or
puzzles can be answered with collaborative study.

Underline the wish
There is a single element which is immortal and indefinite and
everything else is mortal. The universe expands from that
singularity and after a long gap comes back to the singularity.
Expansion has the genesis. Expansion is not an unexpected
event. It has a clear cut mechanism. Every bit of the universe is
defined well. Not a tiny issue or thing can happen all of a sudden
or unexpectedly. Each and every bit is defined and everything
goes on accordingly. When all this goes on in a defined way then
there is no need to control them.
But the definition is invisible. The structure of the definition is
hard to understand. That’s why everything holds that suspense.
That suspense prevails everywhere. Someone tackle the suspenseand someone fall prey to it. That suspense controls mind and once
mind comes out of the clutches of that suspense it reaches the
top and joins the immortal.
The present universe came into existence some 200 million
years ago and the existence of the human beings date back to
some three hundred thousand years. There is a need to look
beyond the so called Vedic age. Experts fix the Vedic age at
4000BC. There is no consensus in this issue.
The present work emphasizes on the genesis of the universe
but in a different manner. Different from the present daythoughts, different from present day inferences, considering the
-

literature of earlier human history, considering the earlier
concepts, respecting the modern views, respecting the modern
discoveries, getting assistance of the present day facts an
attempt has been made to peep into the ancient thoughts with a
different perception.
JYOTISH, known as Indian Astrology, plays a major role in this
perception. Indian Astrology is itself an ocean of knowledge with
an array of branches. The present presentation requires the help
of some of its branches and rest is untouched to make the present
work concise.
Predictive astrology is a major branch of JYOTISH and it
outwardly depends on the mathematical part which comes under
the SIDDHANTA, another major branch of JYOTISH.
Efforts and endeavors are made in the quest of thrust areasof research in ancient literature. At the same time the need of
collaborative study has been considered. It is expected that the
present work will be helpful in the area of research and
development of most admired and highly neglected part of
Human History.
I am grateful to my mentor Mr D Venugopal, Assitant
Registrar, Banaras Hindu University who stand behind me in all of
my endeavors.

Deed
Deed is the genesis of all living and non living
beings. It makes things happen. People believe that its
course of action is highly unpredictable. Not only its
course of action, its nature and structure are also
indefinable. Due to its nature it became pin point of all
philosophies in the world

Vivekananda says “the essence of all beings is
same”. In the similar way deed is the seed of
everything. There is a proverb in Hindiजैसी करनी
वैसी
भरनी This proverb has the support of dozens of
Sanskrit verses.
Sowed seed has multiple lives. That means it may
give birth to any form of its nature. Let it be explained.
A seed may lose its life in the soil. It may turn in to a
plant and vanish. It may become a tree with a weak
trunk. It may grow to an average size. It may become a
giant tree and live long. It may become giant but fell
prey to cyclone or any other disaster. This way an arrayof possibilities can be expected.
In the same way, when one sows the seed in the
form of deed he may face the consequences in the
future in any form. But the ultimate truth is that he has
to face the consequence. Here, it is inferred that the
form of consequence depends on the condition of the
deed just similar to the different forms of the tree took
birth on the conditions of the seed. That means, the
conditions prevailing at the time of deed will decide
the form of the consequence.

Generally deed is defined in three forms. One is
accumulated, one is ripening and one is ongoing. Thesethree may have subsections or varieties but the
undertone meaning of all expressions is same. The
ongoing, with the passing of time, gets the form of
accumulated and the accumulated gets the form of
ripening when the time comes to deliver the
consequences. Ripening deed is also known as fortune
in simple terms.
Accumulated
Every deed produces consequences. Some actions
have spontaneous results. For example A thrashes B
and in reply B thrashes A. the second condition is B
curses and leaves the place. In the first condition A
faced the result. So deed does not produce any seed.
But in the second condition A has not received theresult of his deed. That means the deed is awaiting the
reply. In this condition, at a later stage, A will get the
result of it. That means the seed took birth and in a
similar form it will reach the owner of the deed (karta).
This is called accumulation. The awaiting consequence
is stored in the account of A.

There is a small confusion. Sometimes people think
that the reply may be in any form. But that not seemsso. The result might be in accordance of the seed. A
seed of mango cannot produce apple. Not getting a
spontaneous reply is also has a reason. Let the
condition explained. A thrashed B. it’s not a
coincidence. It is predefined and A has experienced or
went through the deed he might have done in the
past. In the second condition B not replied
immediately. That means the ripening time may take
place in future.
This situation shows three forms of the deed.
Thrashing B is present deed. Not replying the same
gives birth to the seed. That means the seed is the
accumulation of deed which ought to give its reply in
future. In future when reply occurs then the deed iscalled fortune (prarabdha). These are the three forms
of deed which create everything.
The most interested point in scientific world, which
people like the most to investigate, is the genesis of
the universe. Not only Science and Scientists , the
-
8/18/2019 Nothing Undefined
14/56
14
philosophers all over the world, also get their birth in
this interest only.
Investigations to know the cause of the creationgave birth to multiple sciences and thoughts. Though
the human being is yet to know the reason behind the
universe, he has already advanced in many directions.
Still he has no clue of the universe. All the theories
about it, uttered till date, are inferences only.
Knowingly or unknowingly, everyone accept the
deed as one and only cause behind the universe . ??
Though the deed has been accepted as the genesis
of all happenings it is not based on any confirmation, if
looked in scientific way. Science requires proof. Proof
depends on formulae with enough logic. Science
cannot come to a conclusion in this matter without
solving the genesis of the universe. It has a long way to
go. As this discussion has no scientific value, till nosuch hypothesis has been formulated to investigate
the matter.
The base of Vedaic literature stands on this concept
that the root cause of everything is the deed. This
concept has been circulated to each and every corner
-
8/18/2019 Nothing Undefined
15/56
15
of the Vedic civilization and consequently the
traditions which are in existence in Bharat Varsha
stand on the single reason. A keen observer can find it(the deed) as the essence or theme of the Ramayana
and Mahabharata.
This simple concept created two types of deed i.e.,
deed and misdeed. (आमनः ितकूिलान परेषा ं न
समाचरेत)् so the tradition accepts deeds and disowns
misdeeds. The method which is used to differentiate
the deed in to good deed and misdeed is called
DHARMA.
A deed with positive consequences is called good
deed and vice versa. Positivity is also has a critical
definition. The result of the deed may or may not be
positive but at any cost it should not harm any one’s
interest. If it has the least of harm in it then it cannot
be considered as pure positive or good deed.
Positive consequences may comprise some
negative accepts and while the good is accumulated as
good and the minor parts with negative sense will be
accumulated negatively. The owner requires goingthrough both.
-
8/18/2019 Nothing Undefined
16/56
16
Simple to say that every bit of positivity will
accumulate positive deed and every bit of negativityaccumulate negative deed. There is one more variety
of deed in existence which is called neutral deed which
will be explained at a later stage.
Conclusion
Though the deed has been accepted the cause of
everything since time immemorial, the acceptance
does not include any scientific evidences or proofs or
any statistical data. So it requires a formula to be
investigated and proved. Once it has been proved so, it
can change the nature of human life. But, if it has to
change the human life, then the cause to happen so
must be the accumulated deed of the human being.
Amazing! But it’s the truth accepted and well
broadcasted in the Vedic World.

Rebirth
Three stages of deed and its array formation gave
birth to the theory or concept of rebirth. Rebirth is the
consequence of fortune (prarabdha). Fortune is the
result or ripening stage of seed of the deed. So
acceptance of the deed forces the acceptance of
rebirth. Unless and until a living or nonliving being
takes rebirth it cannot go through or experience the
consequences of its deeds. So rebirth is an integral part
of deed and it cannot be thought separately.

Forms of rebirth
The form of rebirth is highly confusing though it is
an interesting subject to discuss. The creatures on the
earth including the human beings are stated to be
eighty four lakh (8.4 million). All the forms of creatures
are awaiting each and every body. That means each
and every creature on the earth may take birth of any
one or all of the forms of creature.
How it is possible?
Small explanations can brief the query. In our daily
life we experience that millions of creatures lose their
life within a span of a day. Many may last for days,
some for couple of months and countable are in long
lasting span of life. In this way the statement of getting
all forms of life has some strength. Unless the rebirth
concept is unproved, the theory of getting all or some
of the forms of 8.4 million creatures cannot be denied
or unaccepted.
-
8/18/2019 Nothing Undefined
19/56
19
One more interesting thing is there. Except human
being no other creature gets it deed accumulated. That
means no consequences of actions of all creaturesexcluding human being are stored. That means they
get the reply of each deed on the spot. Or it can be
accepted that they go through the results of their
previous deeds. This thought gives the conclusion that
the birth of creatures and mini creatures except
human being is just to pay off the previous deeds and
at the end, once one pays of the misdeeds of the life
he will get back the human life to try for a better
position!
So any hypothesis, formulated to investigate the
genesis requires to consider the zero point where the
total number of creatures conclude and from where
they start upraising. It implies that the end of theuniverse can be defined as nil property of universe and
starting of the universe consist the frame where all the
exhausted properties will have a chance to get the
rebirth. It is called state of singularity in present day
science (!)

Cycle of rebirth
Acceptance of deed’s full structure as stated above
gives birth to the concept of rebirth. The word itselfcontains an array. Array rarely comes to an end. But,
according to the Vedic literature, the beginning and
end of this array have been clearly defined. But this
definition becomes ultimate only if one accepts the
deed and rebirth concept. So the point to think or
investigate or verify is the nature of rebirth.
Rebirth can be accepted on the grounds of logic. But
the present endeavor stresses to formulate a
hypothesis to display it in modern style or scientific
way.
What are the logics?
1. When we remember something positive(previously happened to us), we get a flash on our
face. Those moments can give a smile on the face.
This can happen in any stage, weather we are
awake are in sleep. A person with some past life
experience can go through such phenomenon.
-
8/18/2019 Nothing Undefined
21/56
21
But this happens in small children. A child with a
past life of hardly two to three months also shows
same activities. All of a sudden, while sleeping, hestarts smiling and sometimes starts crying without
any physical reason. That means he has some
previous experiences which make him to do so.
What may be the previous experience of a child
with two to three months of age? What memories
he can have?
2. What is the difference between a child born at a
millionaire’s home and a child born at a beggar’s
home? Why one received the advantage of silver
spoon by birth and why the second one is deprived
of food also by birth?
Logic can only work in such places. No scientificproofs can be submitted in this condition. Still, one
cannot deny further research. Logic already proved
on its base that the deeds of the both have forced
them to take birth accordingly.
-
8/18/2019 Nothing Undefined
22/56
22
In similar way the case of differently abled
children who are deprived of some organs by birth
can focus the light on the deeds. There is noanswer for the question why they were deprived?
A married couple with a married life of 45 years
with three to four tiers of the family raise question
in the mind of a widow who lost his/her life
partner in the middle of the life, what is wrong
with me? Why I was deprived?
3. Everyone on the earth is a unique entity. This is a
natural statement everyone who fails to know the
reason of deprivation says. The differences in each
and every individual always raise the question of
present life. Somewhere hard work fails and no
work give results, somewhere eligible gets out of
the contest and other one gets the opportunity. Inall these conditions, the deprived try to blame
others. They lose patience. They lose confidence.
Some adopt wrong ways. Some become anti social
elements etc. But it is also a natural answer that no
one can remove the differences. No person. No
government. No law. No movement. It has been
-
8/18/2019 Nothing Undefined
23/56
23
proved in the long life span of human history. Then
what causes all this mess? Who is responsible for
this? What is the root cause of the difference? Canit be discussed? Can it be investigated? Can it be
proved? Can it be thought of?
4. Human life is full of miracles. We say unexpected
happenings as miracles. But why not miracles
happen with each and every individual? The simple
answer for these questions is previous deeds.
If one thinks in this way he will get some millions of
such situations. A small visit to the hospital shakes a
person’s thoughts. So ultimately everyone comes to
the conclusion that the happenings have some link to
their own deeds. But this conclusion is not a result of
study. This conclusion is not a result of aninvestigation. It is not the outcome of any formula.
Neither has it depended on the statistics. Statistical
data contains similar properties. In this matter no such
classification can be made on the data collected.
-
8/18/2019 Nothing Undefined
24/56
24
Ultimately a study on the rebirth concept is only left
in the frame of investigation. But it is unpredictable by
nature. No clue for the beginning and no clue of theend. In such a situation how it is possible to take it on.
How the study can be formulated? How any hypothesis
can take place?
Conclusion
Though everything seems out of range of study and
investigation, the essence of available Vedic literature,
lessons and concepts of Vedic literature undoubtedly
has the potential to go through the subject. At the
same time, the structure of modern science and the
studies so far done by the western scientists add flavor
to the possibilities of the study in this regard. So, a
blend of east and west is the need of the hour and it isearly to say that the hypothesis has been formulated.

Deed and rebirth
As expressed earlier a different aspect is presented
in this chapter. It’s an endeavor to make a platform
which may enable the thought process to get an idea
in this regard.
According to Bhagavata Mahapurna –

The second stanza clears the stand of the Lord. Lord
or ISHWARA was clearly defined here. There is no lordoutside or there is no form of Lord. Then who is the
lord. Lord is the result of your deed. Lord blesses him
only who deeds. This definition takes to the lessons of
Lord himself.

How deeds are controlled and take birth?

भागवत महापु राण , क .04, अया 29, ो 66
Mana Eva manushyasya poorvaroopani shamshatiBhagavata mahapurana, cant 04, chapter 29, stan.66
Simply to say the mind controls the deeds. Mind is
the genesis of all deeds. Mind is the ruler of the body.
Mind dictates the body to make a deed. That means
-
8/18/2019 Nothing Undefined
29/56
-
8/18/2019 Nothing Undefined
30/56
30
acts of the mind. Mind, known as chitta in vedic
literature controls everything. It knows everything. It
reminds everything. It dictates the living being what todo and what not to do. There is no significance of the
personality. The mind holds everything.
For example –
जािनाम धम न च म े विृ ः
जानायधम न च मे ि नविृ ः
केिनाप देव ेन द िथते न
यथा िनयु िोम तथा किरोम।
These are the words uttered by the son of
Dhritarastra. Duryoadhana is the elder brother of
kurus and throws out the pandus from the kingdom.
The story of Kurukshetra war is well known to all. The
genesis of the war is the misdeed of Duryoadhana. But
the words uttered by Duryoadhana have great
significance. At least they provide an outlook in the
present endeavor.
I know what is right and what is wrong (the
DHARMA) but I fail to indulge in it. I have no tilt
-
8/18/2019 Nothing Undefined
31/56
31
towards right and resistance towards wrong. I am
forced by unknown lord who rests in my mind.
Here, these words of Duryoadhana clearly state that
the posture or personality of a living being cannot
control its deed. It is the all-rounder mind, which
knows everything, encourages doing anything. It
decides the right and wrong depending on the stored
seeds of the deed. It has the complete details or the
data of the past deeds.
Accepted by all
Mind plays the key role in anyone’s life. This fact is
accepted by all. The same is the story of psychiatry
where experts try to heal the patients by regression.
They let the patient take a tour of past deeds and once
the tour is over the patient realize what has happenedwith him and what is happing and what to happen. The
undertone of the concept is already expressed in the
verses of Mahabharata.

Role of Jyotish
“All roads lead to Rome.”
This proverb stands fit in the matter of the JYOTISH
in the present context. The course of action of deed is
the base of Jyotish. Jyotish deals with deed only.

What is JYOTISH
It is the mostly admired subject of the present
day with enough controversies and contradictions. It is
a limb of the Veda and its original birth took place to
meet out the requirement of Vedic rituals. Now it has
been transformed to a different look and known as
fortune teller only. The word mostly used for this inEnglish is astrology. But the difference between
definitions of Astrology and JYOTISH prevent the use of
word Astrology. So, at anywhere in this work, the word
astrology should mean JYOTISH only.
There are three major disciplines in JYOTISH and
the focus of discussion is on only one discipline. Hence,
the needy part, well known as HORA SHASTRA or
predictive astrology, will be discussed here.
What predictive astrology does?

Revise the whole
We are in the middle of the discussion that deeds
are the root cause of the genesis of the universe. Thisdiscussion requires the definitions of the root cause.
Though defined well it failed to meet out the present
day aspirations. The definition was completely based
on logic and life experiences which are not fully useful
for the purpose of investigation. Then the focus was
turned to Vedic literature. It has clear cut definitions
but they are limited to beliefs as we do fail to show
them happen.
Many references from Bhagavata Mahapurana
throw enough light to the matter but still we feel we
are unable to convince the present day formulas so the
journey to formulizing the thought process is going on.
Now a ray of hope is being seen in JYOTISH. This
subject contains all the essences of the other subjects
and demands the knowledge of Vedic literature to go
through it. Sometimes, some of the scholars tend to
say that everything is included in Jyotish only. There is
a section of scholars who declare that there were only
-
8/18/2019 Nothing Undefined
36/56
36
two subjects in the ancient India and they were Jyotish
and Ayurveda. All other subjects are classified under
these two heads. Keeping the developments in mindthe focus has been turned to a part of JYOTISH which is
called predictive astrology from this point onwards.
Predictive astrology
The main theme of the subject is fortune telling. It
can predict all the three parts of time i.e., the past,
present and the future. If someone feels that miracles
happen or miracles can be made by a fortune teller
then the story ends there. Prophesy consists no
miracles. The process of prophecy making is not
baseless.
Prophesy making has its fixed definition as
expressed earlier. The stored data, also called
accumulated deed, of the person being analyzed andthe expected outcome of the time is expressed. To
analyze and express the past deeds, predictive
astrology uses the longitudes of the planets.
An individual system

8/18/2019 Nothing Undefined
37/56
37
In general people try to compare JYOTISH and
Astrophysics. The base of the both is different. As the
base is different the outcome of the comparison is alsodifferent. This type of comparison forces the learned
people to state that the Indian astrology is not a
science.
What is the base of predictive astrology and how it is
different from present day science or astrophysics?
The longitudes of the planets are considered to
predict the ripening outcome of the past deeds of a
native or a person. The planetary longitudes are geo
centric and reflect the happenings on the earth. So it is
clear that the system or base considered here is geo
centric and it is completely different from the present
day heliocentric system. The objective of predictive
astrology can be achieved only with the help ofgeocentric planets (due to inter-relationship of earth
and planets).
The same is in the matter of planets. The modern
definition of planet is not valid in the context of
astrology. Here the planet is called the GRAHA. The
-
8/18/2019 Nothing Undefined
38/56
38
definition of this word is a celestial body which crosses
or catches the constellations. So in respect of the
earth, sun and moon are also planets.
The modern astrology or astrophysics dealt with the
study of the celestial bodies, their nature, their
movements and their inter relations etc. but in the
Indian context we need geocentric expressions of
celestial bodies only. That means there is no
comparison between Indian astrology known as
bharatiya jyotisham and modern astrophysics. The
base of Indian Astrology is geocentric planetary system
where as the base of the modern science is the
heliocentric planetary system. Both are different
sciences and forcible comparison of two dissimilar
subjects is not a valid one.
Nature of movement of planets
Total universe is observed in the context of earth
and a single ecliptic zodiac covers it. Irrespective of
their distances the discs of all planets are observed in
it. The total sphere is divided in to twelve equivalent
parts and each division in to thirty parts. These thirty
-
8/18/2019 Nothing Undefined
39/56
39
parts are equivalently divided to sixty parts and so on.
These parts and subparts of the sphere are very similar
to the divisions of time. This division is crucial in timereckoning also. This system and these divisions
enabled Indians to calculate time and maintain
panchangams since time immemorial.
The concept of the sphere and the system of
divisions are well uttered in Vedic hymns and the
knowledge of universe was complete in the Vedic Age.
The references available in this regard in Rig Veda
show that the Vedic Rishis had complete authority on
the sky. (A brief of the same is available in “the
scriptures of the heavens”).
The divisions of the sphere reflect the angle at
earth’s center. The metrics both at the center and onthe sphere are similar to each other. Among the
planets there are two disguising elements. They are
called the dark planets with no visibility. They are Rahu
and Ketu which are well known as ascending node and
descending node. These nodes have been considered
-
8/18/2019 Nothing Undefined
40/56
40
as planets as they play crucial role in deciding the fate
of creatures.
The nodes too reflect the consequences of the
deeds hence they have been ascribed the place of
planets. Indian seers have enough knowledge of the
nodes and they haven’t misspelt them anywhere. It is
quite evident in Bhaskaracharya’s verseराः
कभामडलगः शशाक etc.
The comment of ignorance in the matter of sun and
moon as planets is invalid. There is no such ignorance
and the theory of genesis of universe laid down in the
astrology has the potential to guide the modern
investigations. But, unfortunately, no such efforts are
being made by the present day scholars.
How the undertone is equivalent
“Our souls may take on a million different forms.
We can become lion or dandelion, plant or person. If
we have assumed a human form, we can be any color,
any race, and any sex. Whichever form we choose,

underneath the surface we are exactly the same. We
are all connected; we are all the same substance and
energy, born of the same source, composed of thesame spiritual material” – Dr Brein Weiss, Psychiatrist.
To understand the oneness in all, the genesis of the
universe and the concept of Jyotish are required. So
according to the context, both are presented here in
simple and systematic way.
The genesis of the universe
At the end of the universe the one and only
immortal element stayed was the Aniruddha, the sun.
This sun is different from that one who provide us
energy and who is one among the planets. Then there
happen a golden egg. Brahma, the creator came out of
the egg. Sun emerged from his eyes and Moon fromthe mind.
Then the creator created the five elements from his
mind in the sequence of sky (AAKASH), air (VAYU), fire
(AGNI), water (AAPA), earth (PRITHIVI). These five have
the incremental property of characters. The sky has
-
8/18/2019 Nothing Undefined
42/56
42
the characteristic property of sound only. The air has
both sound and touch, the fire has sound touch and
shape, the water has sound touch shape and taste, andthe earth has the five characteristic properties named
sound, touch, shape, taste and smell.
अथ सृ ा मन ाहकारमूतभृत्।
मनसमा जे सूयणोत ेजसा ििनधः।।
मनस ः ख ततो वायुिररापो धरा मात् ।
गुणैकवृया प ैव महाभूितान िजरे।।
सूयिसात, भूगोलायाय
The five planets known as star planets are made up
of the five elements respectively. That means the Marstook birth from fire, mercury from earth, Jupiter from
sky, Venus from water and Saturn from air. Sun is in
the form of fire and the Moon in the form of Water.
अीषोमौ स ूय चौ ततवगारकादयः।
तेजोभूखाबु वातेयः मशः प ज िरे।।
5 elements and all
Each and every object including all the creatures in
the universe are made up of five elements namelyearth – water – light - air- sky. Every object consist
-
8/18/2019 Nothing Undefined
43/56
43
them but in different ratios. This simple reason gives
thumbs up to the idea that everything started at a
single point and everything will collapse to that singlepoint at the end.
Planets are also made up of the same. In the
process of evaluation expressed above the elements
come in existence before the existence of the five starplanets. Sun and moon have given different place. So
people belonging to ancient times also accept sun and
moon different from other planets. In such situations,
comparing the modern and ancient on these
parameters, have no valid ground.
Back to the genesis
The creator spent 47400 divine years in creating all
the living and non living objects. 47400 divine years are
equivalent to 17064000 solar years. This number has
no significance until it is proved that the evaluation of
the universe require such a long time. We do not even
have a history of 4000 years and in this small span oftime also we have many contradictions. Though it is
-
8/18/2019 Nothing Undefined
44/56
44
accepted by all that the Vedic literature is the oldest
one in this world no consensus was found in dating the
same.Balagangadhar Tilak wrote a book called the
antiquity of the Vedas in the last decade of 19th
century which is also known as Orion. Orion is a
famous constellation known as MRIGASHEERHSA in
JYOTISH. A small part of a verse in the GEETA forced
him to think about and as a consequence he brought
out a book called in this name. In this book Tilak tried
to fix the date of the Veda depending upon the
location of the equinox. But at the end he passed on
the duty to the Sanskrit scholars and the task is still
incomplete.
So one major issue which can fetch ground for the
positive step in the right direction is the time spantaken by the creator to evaluate the living and non
living objects. So the number 17064000 is crucial here.
Sources of Planetary movement
Planets move or rotate in the ecliptic sphere
called the zodiac. But they all differ in their motion.
-
8/18/2019 Nothing Undefined
45/56
45
The linear motion of all celestial bodies is same but
they differ in the angular velocity. The main cause of
the difference in their angular velocity is their distancefrom the center of the earth. Besides the distance,
some specific points on the sphere also cause the
difference in their velocity. They are different for each
and every planet. These points are called apogees of
two types and one pata (conjunction).
Why to know the sources of velocity?
The angular velocity of every planet is ruled and
controlled by the points quoted above. In the present
context they have some significance. All these factors
of motion move themselves also. That means these
points are not static and have specific movement.
When the creator allowed the universe to start the
motion all these factors of planetary motion along with
the planets stand at a unique point. There was no east-
west or south –north difference between them. After
that, each and every individual move in its route with
-
8/18/2019 Nothing Undefined
46/56
46
its unique angular velocity. The single point position of
all of them marks the beginning of the universe.
The process of movement of all these elements
continue for a specific time period and at the end all of
them come to the same single point where they were
at the time of the beginning of the universe. It is the
end of the universe.
Well defined time – frame
Thus, astrology strictly explains the nature of the
universe and the starting and ending points of the
same. It starts at a point. Then expands to an extent
before coming to an end at the very point where it
started the journey some time back. These are
narrated in the JYOTISH in a mathematical way.

The planetary system explained here is used to
express the results of the deed. That means each and
every pixel of the frame is defined to its minute state.

Everything is predefined
A lot of exercise, since the beginning of this book,performed just to convince that nothing is undefined in
this universe, even universe also. Everything is
predefined and everything itself responsible for its
stage and state. Mind rules the deed and deed rules
the mind. It is simply evident from the verses ofBhagavata Mahapurana.
The only thing remaining to express is the
mechanism of the movement of deed. How it is stored
and how it turns back? What are the equations it has?
What are the combinations it follows?

This is a common rule that without the permission
of Lord even a piece of gross cannot shake or move. It
is clear from the quoted verses of Bhagavata that
Ishwara (the lord) is none other than the deed or result
of the deed.
A book named mysterious universe by James
Hopwood Jeans show many ways to think the course
of action of deed. Apart from other matters, the book
explains radiation and matter. It resembles the rebirth
and incarnation system. It gives a hope to go ahead.
This book states the time elapsed since the forming
of the present universe. It is stunning because the time
frame inferred by the writer matches with the number
given in the SURYASIDDHANTA for the same purpose.
The explanation of universe and the narration of the
systematic movement of the universe remind the
general meaning of the PURUSHA SUKTA of RIGVEDA.

A small book in English, THE SCRIPTURES OF
HEAVENS, written by G V A Raghava Rao attracts in
much better way. It explains Rigveda in context of
JYOTISH and provides inner view. It encourages the
blended study of east and west.
The views of Dr Brain Weiss, a psychiatrist, confirm
the thought that the mind is all and all. The mind canexpress thousands of past lives. Besides, it confirms
the oneness of all. The concept of many lives one soul
makes the journey easier.
The master piece of Mr Hirabhai Thakkar “thetheory of Karma” provides essence of many ancient
works and makes the study easier. The narration of the
deed made in this book reconfirms the hypothesis that
the deed is the genesis of all.
Last but not least, it is the Nobel laureate Stephen
Hawking, who plays a vital role in creating an
understanding of the concepts of the universe. The
way he presents the science in a simple way makes it
easier to have an elaborative and collaborative study.

A simple reading of “The Theory of Everything”
approves the thought of predefinition. The first hand
information provided in this work about universe
convinces that the whole universe is predefined and
there is nothing which is not defined.
“A Brief History of Time” by the same author
makes a student of JYOTISH more energetic and it
creates interest in ancient works. It does not mean
that the writer pens anything about Indian astrology or
time reckoning system. In this book the author explains
Time in such a way that the curiosity to know more
about the same takes birth and consequently study of
ancient texts with full of details about the time will find
the readers.
The system of predictive astrology provides inner
view of the nature of the universe which depends on
the deed. The time reckoning system of Indianastrology explains the nature of the universe. The
concept of predictive astrology explains the nature and
structure of the deed. The lessons of Lord in
Bhagavadgeeta, Bhagavata etc. will provide the insight
of the creator. A blend of all these things will help in
more solid investigations.

Chances to redefine
Cultures all over the world, traditions all over the
earth, insist many customs which are meant to fulfill
expectations and transform negative to positive.
A native should go through his deed. He cannot
escape the fruits of his deed. It’s a common law of
deed. But, since time immemorial, human being
follows many methods to avoid the negative fruits of
the deed.
1. How it is possible?
2.
Will it not weaken the argument that the deed
is all in all and all and all?
3. How concessions are available?
4. How concessions are applied?
Change of intensity only

All the efforts, of any custom or tradition, will result
in weakening the intensity of the fruits of deed only. It
needs to be explained in brief.
Fasting, chanting, repeating etc are some practices
to receive the blessings of Lord. It is commonly
believed that the Lord, in reply, blesses by decreasing
the negative impact and increasing the positive impact
of the deed. The result of deed never changes. The
structure of deed never changes. But the intensity or
force of action comes down in line with the power of
tool applied.
An example –
A man committed a deed and he has to face deathfrom an elephant. He makes all efforts to avoid the
disaster. One day he comes across the elephant. It
makes him run and the man, without any break, runs
to avoid the giant. At last, the elephant catches him
with its trunk, moves in the air, hits him to the groundand in the last moment keeps its leg on his chest and
rubs him on the ground.
The man, all of a sudden, falls on the ground from
the bed, feared and completely wet with sweat. He
could meet the death if the dream had continued forhalf a minute more. The body faced the horror. The
-
8/18/2019 Nothing Undefined
54/56
54
key point of the life, the mind, shacked to the worst
extent. Each and every part of the body comes under
high pressure.
An attempt of murder took place. The impact of the
result of deed faced. But the intensity of the act came
down due to the efforts of the person.
This example has been given in the annexure to the
commentary of siddhant tattva viveka . Thecommentator, respected Gangadhar M ishra , explains
the logic behind the process of redefinition of deed.
Logical but not proved yet
A vast tradition of India always insists the effort to
be made. All around the Indian society it is
experienced that it happens. This argument is not
against the nature of law or nature of deed. Efforts
never eradicate the incident but weaken it. Happening
is unavoidable. But the intensity of the happening can
be brought down. So redefining of the predefined ispossible. Ultimately it can be said that Jyotish enables
to redefine the prarabdha., i.e., fortune or the third
stage of deed.

Conclusion
Why not happened?
This is a simple question any one can ask. Why
thousands of years not utilized for a simple cause?
Here is the answer.
The modern science also believes that the universeis expanding. They do not have such time frames as
stated in JYOTISH and due to some major reasons they
do not include the points raised in JYOTISH. The need
of the hour is to convince the researchers about the
thrust areas and scope of research in JYOTSH,especially the scope of research in the field of universal
truths.
What makes JYOTISH inferior?
1. Limited access to JYOTISH makes it a fortune
teller’s property.2. Flavor of religion stops its liberal nature to adopt
by others.
3. Most of the theories and fundamentals wrongly
narrated and propagated. Consequently people
know it as a pseudo science only.4. Lack of collaborative study.
-
8/18/2019 Nothing Undefined
56/56
5. Improper interpretation.
6. Decreasing interest in the subject.
7. Outdated practice and outdated modules.
8. Lack of Constructive and collective study in the
subject.
9. Question of employment
10. Dignity matters.
These are some major issues which go against the
research and proper growth of the subject.
Overcoming these issues will enable the researchers to
give fillip to the ongoing researches on the genesis of
universe.
“However, if we discover a complete theory, it should in time
be understandable in broad principle by everyone, not just a
few scientists. Then we shall all be able to take part in the
discussion of why the universe exists. If we find the answer to
that, it would be the ultimate triumph of human reason. For
then we would know the mind of God”
