Prabhupada, New York, November 27, 1966: […] Astrologer, a perfect astrologer is called sarvajna. Sarvajna means he knows past, present and future. A real astrologer means he will tell you about your past life and he will tell you about your present life and your future life also. There is a system of astrology in India which is called Bhrigu-samhita.
Any man will go, and if the expert in Bhrigu-samhita science, he will at once tell you what you were in your past life, how you are acting in this present life, and what is your next life. Therefore, perfection of astrology is in the Bhrigu-samhita, and they is called sarvajna. In old Indian system, as soon as child is born, an expert astrologer will be called forth and there will be ceremony, jata-karma, just after the birth.
Just like, before giving birth to the child, there was some ceremony which is called garbhadhana ceremony, and between the birth- giving ceremony and the child is born, there are two other ceremonies, sadhavakan. So after the birth of the child, the astrologer is called forth and he begins to tell about the future of the boy.
pamho agtACBSP, thank you for posting this nice article, yes i agree the science of astrology is similar to the science of pure bhakti, i mean a real astrologer must be situated in the platform of a maha purusa like SRILA BHAKTISIDDHANTA SARASVATI THAKUR, SRILA GARGAMUNI, BHRIGU MUNI etc.
Our problems are caused by us – God has given us free will – and by making wrong decisions we create bad karma, poverty, ugliness, stupidity.
“God is situated in every heart, but if you persist to do something, He gives, “All right, do at your risk. What can I do?” You suffer. That independence you have got. Just like State. State does not advise anyone that, “You become a criminal.” But when he becomes criminal, then put into jail. State says, “Everyone go to the university, be educated,” but if you make your choice, go to the prison house, you can make your choice. Similarly, Krishna says everyone, man-mana bhava mad-bhakto mad-yaji mam namaskuru [Bg. 18.65]. But if you make your choice to go to hell, what can He do?” (Prabhupada, Evening Darsan, August 10, 1976, Tehran)
Of course there is the option to be situated in pure transcendence – although living in this horrible kali-yuga – by learning from our guru maharaj the proper way to become spiritually situated.
Because Prabhupada saw that this is not very easy for people of this age he wanted to additionally establish varna-ashrama, proper organization of material scociety.
Ultimately Prabhupada delivers all present and future generations of devotees who are following HIS instructions without any deviation,

Yes indeed, ” Our problems are caused by us — God has given us free will — and by making wrong decisions we create bad karma, poverty, ugliness, stupidity and so on .”
Thus, we the Jivas entangle ourselves more and more in to this materialist miseries of all sorts. It is because of this misery, the bewildered Jivas find the solutions to their respective problems of life and turn towards occult science including Astrology to find the solution of their material problems.
Alas, there is no any authorized disciplic succession of the Science of Astrology like the Science of the Bhakti Yoga we have due to the causeless mercy of our Jagat Guru Srila Prabhupada. Therefore, essence of understanding and knowing the present, past and the future of a person through Astrology has been scattered and the result is seen very limited proportionately to the power of the knowledge of knowing and understanding the Science of Astrology by the Practitioner who is supposed to enlighten and engage the person in to ultimate Bhakti Yoga.
Those of US who are trying to follow the Insturctions of Srila Prabhupada in Bhakti Yoga know the present how to over come the material problems and stay focus on the Bhakti Yoga path of deliverance in the future.
Jaya Srila Prabhupada.
pamho agtACBSP, a real astrologer is tri kala jnana – is situated beyond the time factor because he can see the truth above past, present and future.
Science of astrology got the parampara started by Bhrigu Muni the son of Lord Brahma Deva, like astanga was started by Lord Siva Mahadeva then Patanjali etc.. as we can see nowadays astrology, astanga yoga and guru hoaxers has become a fashion to cheat the innocent.
