Humane Ethos of
Medical Astrology
"A physician cannot safely administer medicine, if he
is unacquainted with astrology", said Hippocrates, who is
known as the father of Medicine. Before explaining the
intricacies and complex principles of astrology and ancient
"occult therapy" we should understand preliminary
hypothesis of this ancient science and its ideas, regarding
the Creative Force, which is the prime cause of diseases.
Not only in India but in Europe as well, astrology was
given due 1mportance while treating any patient. Epitome
to the above statement is that astrology and medicine are
essentially interrelated as religion and science. Life has
three dimensions Karma, Maya and Moksha. Karma is further
evident under physical, mental and spiritual planes. The
quintessence of evil Karmas, past and present, on the
physical plane is disease and medicine or the occult ancient
therapy is used to minimize human suffering.
Life has always taught us to evolve. We homo sapiens
have evolved from the simplest unicellular life form to
multicellular complex organisms. Evolution is the process
which is applied to every life form as well as every aspect of
life. Evolution is not only subjected to life but to subjects as
well. Since ages every subject has evolved. Evolution is a
process to change or adapt oneself according to the changing
environment. So is with astrology it has evolved with the
passage of time. In ancient India there were mainly four
stratas of society differentiated according to peoples'
profession. But now there are innumerable professions, some
of which we aren't even acquainted with. Modern doctors
should put away their prejudices against this occult subject
