Why is Jyotisha called the Eye of the Vedas?
Jyotisha is the discipline of light - 'Jyoti' means light and 'Sha' means discipline. It is the eye of the Vedas, meaning it gives us the ability to 'see' when to act, what kind of karma is ready to bear fruit, and how to navigate life consciously.
Jyotisha is a bridge between Apara vidya (textual knowledge) to Para vidya (knowledge by which the ultimate reality is known).
Just as a doctor may prescribe good medicine (like the Vedas prescribe good dharma), the timing of when to take the medicine is essential. Jyotisha is the science of that timing.
Comparison:
Medicine = Veda
Doctor = Guru
Jyotisha = Correct time to take medicine.
Takeaway:
Jyotisha doesn't tell you exactly what will happen. It shows you what kind of karmic environment you're walking into, like headlights on a dark road.
