Influence of Astrology in Indian Marriages

By: Priya Dave



Astrology is considered to be the oldest of all sciences, which
studies the effects of the planetary positions and movements on
our lives. Indian Astrology is an integral aspect of the Vedic
literature (Vedic Astrology) and was practiced over the years by
Indian sages and passed on to their disciples. In olden days,
the kings would depend on astrology to determine the right and
auspicious time before embarking on any new and important
initiatives. Ages later, today, we still find the strong
influence of astrology in our day-to-day life. Any major event
in life, whether it is marriage, buying a car, buying a house,
or even entering a new house, is undertaken only after
consulting the astrologer for an auspicious time. 

Astrology is in-depth science with multiple widespread branches.
It is used to create birth or natal charts (Jathaka /
Janampatri) based on the time, date and place of birth, to
answer any specific questions ‘Prashnas’, to find the auspicious
time and day called ‘Muhurtha’. While all of these aspects of
astrology are well in use today, one of the most popular one is
the creation of Jathaka’s and matching of Jathaka’s for
marriages. Marriage is an important aspect of life. In India,
when a child is born, the exact place, date and time is
documented and when the child grows older his/her natal chart is
created based on this birth data. When the child attains
marriageable age, his/her natal chart is matched with those of
prospective brides and grooms to find an astrologically
compatible match. This is an age-old tradition, which is
practiced with equal fervor even in this tech-savvy, net-savvy
age. 

It is interesting to note that, thousands of years ago astrology
was imparted by the teachers to their pupils orally. During the
beginning of ‘Kali Yuga’ the astrological literature was
documented for the future generation. Today, the essence of
astrology has been captured and converted into astrological
software. These software’s are immensely accurate and provide
extensive reports based on scientific calculations. One such
service is provided on the website www.BridesandGroomsIndia.com,
which is an Indian matrimonial site. The Astrology section
provides various astrological services like horoscope / natal
chart generation, horoscope / natal chart matching for
compatibility, star matching for compatibility. 

Indian Astrology is an integral part of the Indian culture and
most of the marriages are consummated only after consulting an
astrologer. At BridesandGroomsIndia.com a genuine effort is made
to help prospective couples figure out whether they are
compatible to be bound in the holy wedding knot.
