Many astrologers agree with Dr. B.V. Raman and his reliable sources that
7 BCE is the actual birth year of Lord Jesus Christ. However, there is one
day in that year which is quite interesting. Instead of the traditional 25th of
December, there s the date of August 22nd. Some astrologers refer to that
’
day as being the birthday of Lord Jesus Christ. Their understanding being
-conforming to the belief - that the 25th of December is the traditional day
for the celebration of Christ. However, the 22nd of August is the actual day
that Christ took birth.
The Chandra lagna chart below is for the 22nd of August 7 BCE

The amazing feature of this chart; each planet, except Saturn who is conjunct
with Jupiter, is Swakshetra, identical to their own sign, and the Nodes, Rahu
and Ketu are uchha or in their signs of exaltation - "one of the best points for
the planet in the entire zodiac".
The Moon is in Cancer, The Sun is in Leo, Mercury is in Virgo, Venus is in
Libra, Mars is in Scorpio conjunct with exalted Ketu, Jupiter is in Pisces
conjunct with Saturn and Rahu is exalted in Taurus. It's stated that a person
born on this day, having such an extraordinary chart, "is destined to change
the world". All the planetary rulers, the demigods, Chandra, Surya, Budha
Shukra, Mangal and Guru are in their favorable environment, empowering
that special personality who appeared on that day.

And as B.V. Raman states, " Readers will note that similar Jupiter-Saturn
conjunctions have produced great teachers, viz Zoroaster and the Buddha".
When a jiva tattva, a living entity, becomes specifically empowered by the
Lord, he is a saktyavesa avatara. Lord Buddha and Lord Jesus Christ were
empowered saktyavesa avataras. Over 2000 years have passed and Lord
Jesus Christ is still worshipped by billions across the globe. Who would
consider His revered teachings spoken in the scripture, the Holy Bible,
statements belonging in the mythology department? No sane person would,
nor would any right minded person tolerate hearing such. Scripture is
sacred. The Gospel of God, His Messiah, His angels, and the godly men and
women of scripture are all very sacred and have been for many, many years
and will continue to be.
The Vedic scriptures are the most ancient scriptures on the planet. And they
are preserved by the dedicated and authorized sages of the bona fide
disciplic successions. The disciplic succession holds that the Vedas were
uttered by Lord Krishna to Brahma, by Brahma to Narada, and by Narada to
Vyasadeva, and then by Vyasadeva to Sukadeva Gosvami and so forth,
continuing to the present day by dedicated authorized spiritual masters. Just
as you see today the authorized teachers of the ancient science of Jyotish
Vedic astrology. They are considered authorized or why should so many
“ ”
students approach them to learn Vedic astrology? Similarly, there are four
bona fide disciplic successions of the Vedas on the planet: one from Lord
Brahma, one from Lord Siva, one from Laksmi, the goddess of fortune, and
one from the Kumaras. The disciplic succession from Lord Brahma is called
the Brahma-sampradaya, the succession from Lord Siva (Sambhu) is called
the Rudra-sampradaya, the one from the goddess of fortune, Laksmiji, is
called the Sri-sampradaya, and the one from the Kumaras is called the
Kumara-sampradaya. One must take shelter of one of these four
sampradayas in order to understand the most confidential Vedic system,
which includes Jyotish.
The professors and students of the western world have their mythological
“ ”
figures such as Zeus, Hercules and others to study. However, unlike their
western mythology, within the Vedic texts, you ll read narrations about the
’
factual managers of the material world, the demigods - Lord Siva, Lord
Brahma, Surya, Chandra and many more. Many of these powerful demigods
are included within the Vedic astrological chart readings.

Since Jyotish, Vedic astrology is one of the Vedangas, one of the limbs of
“ ”
the Vedas - then those who have heard that the Vedas are mythology can
ask, "is Jyotish part of the mythical texts"? There are those who are now
bringing up this question. Of course, the real benefits received from the
extraordinary science of Jyotish is definitely not a myth, nor is Vedic
astrology a part of mythology (mythology, myths are folklore composed by
mortals, which can be proven to be false or busted. )
“ ”
Brahma, the first-born living being in this universe and the first speaker of
the Vedas, is also the foremost sage. He is born directly from Lord Vishnu
and from him appear the hosts of demigods, including both the controllers of
earthly activities and the rulers of heaven. Vyasadeva, the transcendental
son of Parashara Muni, is the literary Incarnation of God. Vyasadeva is the
compiler of all the Vedas. There are verses on astrology in the Rig Veda,
Yajur Veda and Atharva Veda. The classic Puranas, also contain instructions
of astrology. Vyasadeva s contributions of the Vedanta-sutra, Srimad-
’
Bhagavatam and the Mahabharata are very popular and beneficial readings.
The astrologer should follow the important advice of Parashara Muni, in the
very first chapter of his Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra;
"Only good will follow the teaching of this science to the students who are
peacefully disposed, who honor the preceptors (and elders), who speak only
truth and who are God-fearing. Woeful for ever doubtlessly will it be to
impart knowledge of this science to an unwilling student, to a heterodox, and
to a crafty person."
If one does not surrender to this ancient, but eternal wisdom, he or she will
be inclined to disrespect the bona fide preceptors of the disciplic successions
and thus the Vedas as well.
With all of the excellent techniques of Vedic astrology, and provided with
truthfulness by the dedicated Vedic astrologers, Jyotish is so very rewarding
- Only good will follow the teaching of this science ...
