Is Jyotish a religious subject? Can I take help of Jyotish if I am not a Hindu? Print

Jyotish is a very interesting and popular subject. It is an integral part of Hindu culture and religious rituals but it is not a subject limited only to Hindus. In fact, Jyotish is useful and applicable to all humanity.

Anyone who is born on this Earth can have one's horoscope made and analyzed by a Jyotishi.

The present form of Jyotish which we see today is a result of amalgamation of knowledge from different schools of astrology over centuries. In India, Jyotish was very beautifully studied, used, preserved and popularized by the Hindus. This is why people mistake Jyotish to be a Hindu science. The fact remains that a science cannot belong to any one religion. It is always open to anyone who wants to study it.

Anyone can study and use Jyotish to make one's life better.
