A Brief History of Indian Astrology (Jyotish)

I am making a video about the history of Indian Astrology because such a thing has not been done before (despite much talking and writing, but without chronology, facts and sources).

Another reason I am also doing it because of my interests and activities (after the videos I made about the history of Ancient, as well as the history of Chinese Astrology.

I am creating this video about the history of Indian Astrology out of respect for this tradition and my teachers Simon Chokoisky and Nadya Lakaeva;

Also, to put in place the majority of astrologers from the Indian tradition. They wrongly call Jyotish “Vedic astrology” and spread bombastic and false statements, belittling and mocking other astrological schools and traditions.

See the content of the video below, which I have divided into separate timestamps.

  1. A chronological history of Jyotish is long overdue, thank you for putting this together. It would be fascinating to see a similar timeline for Chinese astrology, since both systems exchanged ideas along the Silk Road but kept very different calendars.
