While some people believe their lives are strongly influenced by the planets and their movements, some believe it’s a hoax planted by men to milk naive people. Of the eighteen Puranas, Agni Purana puts forward Vedic Astrology (Jyotish Shastra) not as a mere belief but as factual as Science itself.
According to Agni Purana, “Those who know their Janma Rashi may offer their prayers to their ruling planet and the ruling God of their Rashi. However, those who do not know their birth date and Janma Rashi, for any reason, may still derive all the benefits and may still have all their rightful desires thoroughly fulfilled by offering all their prayers to Lord Sri Venkateswara alone.”
Rashi and Lords to Worship
(Lord Venkateswara is believed to be the designated ruler of this Kali Yuga and shall remain in His idol form, on the Tirumala hills, as long as this Kali Yuga exists)
The Purana further states “And if you know your date of birth and your Janma Rashi thoroughly well, then you can quickly achieve what you rightfully deserve in life by offering your prayers to that particular form of God who is assigned by His supreme commander to take care of all your needs in life.”
