DEFINITION OF VEDIC ASTROLOGY

The definition of Vedic Astrology (“Jyotish”, one of the six Vedangas and ancillary of ageless four Vedas)) clearly refutes the wrong notion about Astrology. ‘The think tank’ holds that Astrology as ‘nonsense’ and not to be taken seriously, felt that astrology needs to gain academic credentials in order to be taken seriously. The academics wondered why astrology needs to find a place at university. After all, it shows no interest in being linked to fields of science. In the present study, it is proved that “Indian Astrology” is an embodiment of all modern sciences and a panacea for all the evils plaguing the mankind. Astrology is the study of effect of sunlight on the planet Earth and life living on it based on the laws of Astrophysics.


INTRODUCTION
The academics wondered why astrology needs to find a place at university. After all, it shows no interest in being linked to fields of science (not to biology, not to psychology, not to statistics, not even to astronomy, or the humanities or the social sciences). The "Think Tank', dismissing astrology as 'nonsense' and not to be taken seriously, felt that astrology needs to gain academic credentials in order to be taken seriously.

Without the Sun's rays, all photosynthesis on Earth would stop. All plants would die and, eventually, all animals that rely on plants for food -including humans -would die, too. The miracle of sunlight Photosynthesis does its magical trick of transformation of matter into life and living energy. Inorganic chemistry available to us in the universe and consequent production of amino acids combined in long polymer chains under abiotic conditions due to lightning in the early solar system formation provided the basic constituents of life and that life arose from it as an emergent property of matter. The 27 lunar constellations, adapted into the study of Jyotish is the source of all elements of inorganic chemistry forged in us.

The Moon does not produce light. We only see the Moon because sunlight reflects off it. As the sunlight that was illuminating the Moon disappears, so would the Moon! The same would go for the many other celestial bodies in the sky, such as planets, which we see only because of the Sun's reflected light.
Sunlight is essential for flora and fauna to flourish on earth. Earth receives sunlight from the solar system, directly from the sun, by reflection from the interior planets, by deflection and reflection from exterior planets and finally from the moon modulated due to waxing and waning. Without sunlight, whole life will be wiped out from the surface of the globe. Sunlight is the electromagnetic wave of radiation of the sun that reaches the earth characterized by frequency or wavelength of oscillations. Earth, as a constituent member of the solar system, is unique for evolution of life since the magneto sheath of the earth's magnetosphere prevents harmful X-rays and UV rays from reaching the earth.
Ancient Hindus excelled in all subjects that afforded the largest field for abstraction and contemplation [1]. It was therefore left to such a people to perfect the science of astrology. The definition of Astrology lies in the selective adaptation of the celestial bodies for its studies based on the laws of Astrophysics silences the critics of 'Think Tank' and to liberate the subject from the attacks gratuitously levelled against it by educated unbelievers and to lift it, on the other, from the depths into which it has fallen by elevating it as an unchallengeable science in the very land of its glory [2]. Science and Sastra are not opposed fundamentally but are seen as parts of the same great search for truth and enlightenment that inspired the sages of Hinduism. Science and spirituality make a great partnership and clearly exhibit the need for a close collaboration to work as a panacea for all problems of people on the plundered planet for a peaceful living here and beyond.

SELECTIVE ADAPTATION OF CELESTIAL BODIES IN ASTROLOGY
Indian Astrology has selectively adapted the following celestial bodies in its studies: Sun (a star), Moon (satellite of the Earth), Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn (Planets of Solar System), North and South Lunar Nodes (the two intersection points of the orbits of the Sun and the Moon), and the 27 Lunar Constellations (consisting of a total of 243 stars) lying equidistant along the ecliptic, the centre line of the Zodiac [3].

SCIENTIFIC RATIONALE BEHIND THE SELECTIVE ADAPTATION OF THE CELESTIAL BODIES
A close observation of the selective adaptation of the celestial bodies clearly underlines that they are wholly responsible in bringing the sunlight to the Earth and bring about its effect on the Earth and the life (flora and fauna) living on it. The Earth receives sunlight directly from the Sun, by reflection from the interior planets, Mercury and Venus. The Moon, satellite of the Earth, reflects sunlight while the two nodes modulate the moonlight, and the exterior planets Mars, Jupiter and Saturn, by deflection and reflection obeying 'Einstein's General Theory of Relativity' bring sunlight to the earth. Outer planets, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto find omitted in its study for the simple reason that the incident sunlight on these planets is infinitesimal and ipso facto, the quantum of reflection of sunlight ( Figure 1) [4].

The inorganic chemistry available to us in the universe give rise to life building blocks under abiotic conditions. Meteors carry life building blocks [4], [5].

HINDU PRAYER TO THE LORD ALMIGHTY
Prathivādhi Bhayankaram Aṇṇan was a Sri Vaishnava Ācharya, Tamil and Sanskrit scholar, the composer of the popular Venkateswara Suprabhātam (Hindu Prayer to the Lord Almighty). He appeared in this world bearing the name Hasthigirināthar Aṇṇan in the year AD 1361. The prayer in one of its Lyrics also specify the celestial bodies responsible for protecting the Planet and all the life living on it.

HINDU CONCEPT OF METEORITES
Long before it was known to science about the presence of DNA molecules in meteorites, Jyotish (a Vedänga) and Bhagavad Gita defined Meteorites as the souls of human beings and even classified them in detail.

BRIHAT SAMHITA AND BHAGAVAD GITA
Varāhamihira, Indian Astrologer and Astronomer par excellence of the 5th century, in one of his works, "Brihat Samhita" states that the meteorites are nothing but the forms of those who fall to be reborn after having enjoyed the fruits of their meritorious deeds in Heaven. They are divided into five categories viz. Ignescent Balls, Meteors, Thunder-bolts, Lightning and Shooting Stars (Comets).
---Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 9, Text 21  "Our research shows that the building blocks of life could, indeed, have remained intact despite the tremendous shock wave and other violent conditions in a comet impact," Blank said. "Comets really would have been the ideal packages for delivering ingredients for the chemical evolution thought to have resulted in life". The amino acids did not break down due to the heat and shock of the simulated crash. Indeed, they began forming the so-called "peptide bonds" that link amino acids together into proteins. The pressure from the impact of the crash apparently offset the intense heat and supplied the energy needed to create the peptides, she explained. In other experiments, Blank's team used sophisticated computer models to simulate conditions as comets collided with Earth. Blank suggested that there may well have been multiple deliveries of seedlings of life through the years from comets, asteroids and meteorites. Therefore, in a Meteorite the building blocks of life remained intact despite the tremendous shock wave and other violent conditions after collision. Earth received heavy and continuous meteorite bombardment for about 700 million years from 4.5 to 3.8 billion years. The whole process is indeed a cosmic dispensation. Meteorites cloak a chemical signature almost as old as the solar system.

Bhagwān Uvacha:
नै नं िछ��� श�ािण नै नं दहित पावक: । न चै नं �े दय�ापो न शोषयित मा�त: ॥ 23॥ nainaṁ chhindanti śhastrāṇi nainaṁ dahati pāvakaḥ na chainaṁ kledayantyāpo na śhoṣhayati mārutaḥ ---vide the Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 2, Text 23 [9] Translation: Weapons cannot shred the soul, nor can fire burn it. Water cannot wet it, nor can the wind dry it. Consciousness, which is the symptom of the soul, can be perceived by material instruments, but the soul itself cannot be contacted by any material object. This is so only because the soul is divine, and hence beyond the interactions of material objects. Shree Krishna expresses this vividly by saying that wind cannot wither the soul, nor can water moisten it or fire burn it.
The amino acids did not break down due to heat and shock of the simulated crash is possibly due to the invisible and indestructible shield called spirit or Soul enveloping them. It is a dogma that only what can be tested in labs and proved by material evidence is real. All the rest is illusion or delusion. Science gives us knowledge but knowledge alone is not enough for man. He is also in dire need of wisdom and spiritual discernment for the survival of humanity.

DISCUSSION OF RESULTS
The scientific rationale behind the selective adaptation of the celestial bodies in astrology in its studies clearly points to the effect of sunlight on the planet and the life living on it. Sunlight is defined as an electromagnetic wave light and particles of radiation.
Electromagnetic waves consist of two waves oscillating perpendicular to one another. One of the waves is an oscillating magnetic field; the other is an oscillating electric field with their wavelengths/frequencies and energy which interact with matter. "Magnetism is one of the fundamental properties of the Earth; it is native and fundamental to our planet's existence". Recently, an interest is paid to the bio-magnetism as a special scientific field dealing with the influence of the global Earth's magnetic field on humans. So, it became a diagnostic tool and a therapeutically procedure for many diseases" (Vlatko Cingoski, Biljana Petrevska 2019) [6].
Absolutely, there is no difference in material between the living and the non-living [7]. As matter is common in both living and non-living, we can define life as an emergent property of matter. We find force and energy in living whilst the same is dormant in non-living. It is through photosynthesis that light does its magical trick: the magic of transformation of matter --carbon dioxide and water --into life; the magic of transformation of light into living energy that transfers from plants to all animals. What matter was synthesized by the energy of light through photosynthesis is disintegrated through decomposition and recycles into nature into original form. No story of life can be completed without de-photosynthesis. Thus, electromagnetic force, one of the four known forces of physics, is the criterion. All planets have magnetism and the study of their effect on the earth, its flora and fauna is thus based on the laws of 'Astromagnetism'.

DEFINITION OF ASTROLOGY
"Astrology is the study of life side of human beings besides the changes in climate and physical geology such as meteorites, earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions happening on the earth based on the laws of astrophysics." [8], [9], [10]

CONCLUSIONS
That the above view of the definition of 'Astrology' is correct is evidenced by the following facts: • The genesis of all principles of Astrology are based on modern sciences such as Astronomy, Astrophysics, Astrobiology, Mathematics, Metaphysics, Philosophy, Humanities, etc. • Sunlight defines life as an emergent property of matter [11] • Fully supports Panspermia Origin of Life [12].
• "Life on Earth is adapted to the rotation of our planet" (Jeffrey C. Hall et al., 2017).
• Horoscopy proves heredity and serves as a forensic tool in disputes of paternity and maternity as striking planetary similarities are observed for parents and their children of their respective birth times similar to matching bands in DNA Fingerprinting establishing heredity [14], [15]. • The number of 3 x 10 6 DNA entries required and the number of Astrological charts required to differentiate one from the other are identical [15]. • Predicting earthquakes, tsunamis and volcanic eruptions is possible [16].
• Unravels the complexity of brain such as consciousness and transcendental consciousness in human. Each of the species living on earth too have a specific frequency of its own resonating with the earth's magnetism (Schuman's Resonance of 7.83Hz) harmonically with the exception human beings, with irreducible complex organs, tuned fundamentally to the natural harmonic frequency of the Earth of 7.83Hz, arrived last and evolved all over the globe, thus, remains unique from all other species. The earth's frequency of 7.83 Hz apparently has matched that of the human brain's average alpha frequency. Implementing this design in human beings by any mechanism, other than the one described is beyond comprehension. [17] • Unravels the mysterious problem of "Origin of Life and Evolution". [18] • Proves the whole universe is full of vibration. [19]
