Busting the Myth of Vedic Astrology- Introduction: Is Jyotisha Shastra Science or Superstition?

The intention here is to Introduce the topic of Jyotisha and to understand if it is a field of knowledge or a superstition . As a novice, I will discuss the basis of this field and try to explain it, without going into too many details.The objective of this series is to dispel the misconceptions regarding this ancient field and to help practicing hindus understand why they observe Jyotisha in the important moments of their lives. Modern education contradicts many traditional beliefs and Jyotisha is a field which has no modern equivalent for comparison. Western Astrology is very different from Indian one and Jyotisha is much more tha just astrology.Youtube episodes explaining the Indian calendric systems : Jyoptisha Part 1: An Introduction to Jyotisha and other Vedangashttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1s9TQQqrluY&t=6s Jyotisha Part 2 : Calculation of the Solar Day / Ahoratra of Hindu calendarhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vx1cVLYq4y0&t=5s Jyotisha Part 3: Calculation of the Lunar Day or Tithi of Hindu calendarhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fN_HGYd18j0&t=4s Jyotisha Part 4: Hindu Luni-Solar Calendar, Months, Years and Adhika Masahttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMTvzvMnsnQ&t=2s5.
