Vedic astrology

Why should time measured only as per Gregarian calendar ? What are the reasons for Indian system to adopt Lunar cycle for writing panchangam ? Does planets really have significance on the life of human beings ? Doesnot it sound childish to think planets can influence the way one thinks ? Is future ever predictable ? Why do we show interest into future ?

Does somebody have answers for all these questions ? I wish so.

The Indian and Vedas have always given me enough question marks on the cultural heritage we have today. Amid lot of so called "Intellectual discussions" with my friends, I have come across arguments that lead to the same old question of believing in the concept of "Yugas/ Vedas/ GOD ". The "Avastha " state of mind always left me in a dilemma as to accept certain basic assumptions on which our sciences are based. I have never questioned myself though on the very aspect of the amount of knowledge imbibed in the Vedas, but I have my own doubts as to its interpretation. "History is written by Winners". I believe in this misinterpretation and the exploitation of the knowledge over times. The purpose of my blogging here is to remind myself on these haunting questions and understanding of
the true vedic knowledge.
Astrology to me looks to contain the scientific knowlege I can correlate easily .
