Vedic Astrology: A Living Wisdom
Vidya is translated as knowledge, science, learning, and education. But the correct translation of vidya may be "living wisdom"
Each and every vidya in our ancient school is a pearl of "living wisdom". Jyotish, Ayurved, Yoga, and Vastu, each is an expression of the “living wisdom” that is a Vidya.
The Vidyas themselves are perennial, but their manifestations in our impermanent world are ever-changing. Living wisdom gains richness and fluency with each successful transfer from one proficient human vehicle to the next, developing its own life as it is exercised.
The materialistic & mechanistic philosophical climate in the world could not support any Vidya. The reason is the great disharmony and lack of peace in Human Life. The reason why we have to try hard to harmonize our life despite a lot of mechanical and material developments.
The more the life cycle of Vidya is gained and transferred by selfless devotion, the more living wisdom grows.
Vedic Astrology is a pearl of living wisdom. Our foremost duty is to gain knowledge, enrich it and transfer it to fit receptacles. One of the debts is the Vidya Rina, the duty one has to strengthen and enhance one’s vidya, and to spread its knowledge to those who are fit to receive it.
