God exists within us on this planet. The ‘soul’ enters the human form after going through the complete cycle of eighty-four lakh lives and deaths. Human life is determined by the position of planets. Good and bad ideas travel into our minds through waves transmitted by the planets. A woman carries the child in her womb for nine months like the nine planets. Thus the position and stationing of the planets determine the good and bad times in our lives. This arithmetic of favourable and unfavourable positioning of planets, form the basis of ‘Horoscope’. Astrology is a science based on very specific calculation. It is not superstition and it is easy to follow. People who cannot consult an astrologer can just read the book, identify their problems, look for remedies and follow them without guidance or consultation. The science of astrology is a gift from God and is acquired by following His diktat.

There are large number of books available in the public domain which talks about various remedial methods that could be followed. Also there are groups of people who talk about the benefits of yoga, mantra, yantra and allied topics, each of which has a scientific logic as is the case with the manuscripts left behind by the Rishis. As we all are aware, there are planets which by their interaction, govern our destiny. My belief, developed during the study of this science, is that destiny depends on four major things in equal proportion. These are; our previous karma, the place where we are staying, the people with whom we interact and our own efforts. These are the four parameters and within each comes the important of a large gamut of activities. There is a complex equation that is a matter of study and research which, like any other science, gets deciphered and known. I therefore believe that chart at the time of birth, coupled with the year’s horoscope and the time at which the query is being asked, have to be co-related and a vector from them gives the correct analysis of the query. Similarly, as each planet is associated with a colour and the colours are in turn related to vibrations – a complex phenomenon by itself; the various mantras, colour therapy and other remedies have relevance.

Hindu philosophy believes in rebirth. If there are any desires left during the last births then the soul takes reincarnation to fulfil those desires. Whatever good or bad situations a person faces in his life is the fruit of Karmas accumulated by him during his past incarnations. Good deeds result in auspicious events and comfortable life, bad deeds are the cause of suffering. Karma theory works as "cause and effect". The Karmas accumulated during past births are the cause and the comforts or sufferings in the present life is the effect. Astrology works on the principles of Karma. The horoscope is the result of the deeds of a person in the past incarnations. And the good or bad yogas in the horoscope are because of the good or bad Karmas accumulated by the person. "Past life and pending Karmas" deals with the techniques of finding out the past life Karmas and how these Karmas will influence the present life.
