Scientia intuitiva est scientia prima - The first science was intuitively inspired.

"The aim of scientia intuitiva", said Spinoza," is to find behind things and events Laws and their eternal relations". What the Seers cognised in higher states of Consciousness - in Cosmic Consciousness and above - came to be known as the 12 Intuitive Sciences and these collectively came to be known as the eternal Vedas. Hence these sciences are said to be divine in origin. Descendit e Caelo - They come from Heaven ! They were never written, they were heard ! What the Seers still hear is only an infinitesimal portion of the Infinite Vedas ( Ananta Vai Veda )! They have been defined as the Breath of the Eternal!

One degree of longitude is 4 minutes and Time is calculated based on longitude.. The calculations of Sunrise and Ascendant are based on latitude and these mathematical values vary from latitude to latitude.

The Vedic concept of Time is based on the celestial phenomenon of the rotation of the earth round its own axis and its movement around the Sun. One constitutes the Celestial Sphere and the other the Ecliptic Sphere.

The second biggest planet in the solar system, Saturn is also one of the the most important planets. 700 earths can be fit into Saturn.

This Law points out that not only all parts of the Cosmos are interrelated but all sciences ( as parts of the Whole ) are interrelated.

Pythagorus saw that the Key to the Mystery of the Universe was held by numbers. Furthur researches in Astro-Numerology has shown that Combined Fadic, Name and Birth Numbers have effects along with the individual Fadic, Name & Birth Numbers.

In his famous book " Ancient Astral Gemstones & Talismans", Richard S Brown of www.agt-gems.com records that not only the Nine Primary Gems but other secondary gems are also used in Planetary Gem Therapy.

Medical astrologers of yore could discern the cause of disease by analysing the horoscope. A weak planet during its period of directional influence can bestow disease. If the fourth house is afflicted, it clearly means affliction to the heart ( as the heart is the 4th house by correspondence). If the sixth house is afflicted, digestive tract disorders are indicated.

Astrology, Astronomy & Mythology - Allegories & Symbolism Bacon in his book " De Sapientia Vaterum " ( Of the Wisdom of the Ancients ) opined that scientific truths are contained in Mythology. For instance, there is a story in Greek Mythology that Athena was taking bath in a pond where Zeus (Jupiter) was taking bath. Zeus got angry and threw her out of the pond. This is an allegorical depiction of an earlier theory in Astronomy that Venus was a satellite of Jupiter and was expelled from the orbit of Jupiter!

Mythology is, in other words, nothing but the representation of Astronomical truths. As per the Vedic Code, the function of Epic and Mythology is to adumbrate philosophic verities!

The first astronomical calender was erected by the Vedic Emperor Vaivaswatha Manu ( circa 8576 A D ). It was based on the Ursa Major Cycle. The constellation of Ursa Major ( Sapta Rishies or the Seven Seers), stays in a constellation for 100 years and to make a retrograde circuit of the Zodiac ( as the Zodiac is tenanted by 27 constellations), it takes 2700 years. All Vedic Mythology is based on these astronomical calculations. Prof. Drayson says in his "Asiatic Researches " that " the Vedists thought proper to connect their Mythology with an astronomical period of a strange nature. It is that of the Seven Rishies ( Seers ), moving along the Zodiac in retrograde motion & taking 2700 years to complete one circuit". Ursa Major, the Great Bear,was in Regulus ( Magha ) at the start of the Mahabharatha War !

Yoga has been defined as the Art of Conscious Self finding. "The aim of the Integral Yoga ", said Aurobindo," is to know & deal with the secret forces which determine our destiny ".

"Life, not a remotely silent or a highly ecstatic uplifted beyond, Life alone is the field of our Yoga", spake the Master.

The barriers on the path of a spiritual aspirant are the " hostile forces" in Man - namely, lust,anger,pride,avarice, attachment, sloth & covetousness, which lie in the subconscient ( subconscious mind).

The Science of the heavens, as the friend, philosopher & guide of all humanity can advise the aspirant to overcome the " enemies " within him - which are formidable forces - and reach the Goal of Life, Self Actualisation.

In the Occidental world, Free Masonry existed as a noble science and as a royal Art. Pythagorus was one of the founding fathers & Free Masonry was enhanced by scholars who were familiar with Oriental Wisdom. It originated from the Vedists of the East and its development was greatly influenced by Pythagorus. Similar to the Oriental belief of benign forces helping an aspirant, there existed a belief ( in Free Masonry ) of a Grand Lodge in theheavens watching over the Masonic Israel on earth and superintending its development.

Our aim is the union of East and West, of inner freedom & outer mastery. Isn't the Universe one perfect Whole and aren't we parts of that Whole ? All Seers have seen the essence of that perfect Whole as nothing but Love ! All Wisdom is contained in Love !
