"The relevance of Vedic knowledge has greatly increased with the rapid growth of modern science and technology. Knowledge of the expanding universe, the development of international communication, and the spread of a materialistic way of life are modern developments that have stimulated insecurity and caused people to lose faith in life. Man faces a dilemma in that traditional values no longer satisfy modern emotional and intellectual needs while the human mind has developed to a point where it cannot blindly accept just any philosophy. The Vedic concept of life - the identity between the individual and the universe, the possibility of an unlimited growth and expansion of human faculties -- couched as it is in a different symbolism or abstract philosophy, transcends the understanding of most people.Unless such inner knowledge can convincingly demonstrated to the inquiring mind, it will not be accepted. Yet, with an objective study of the principles of Vedic astrology, it is possible to demonstrate that an individual's personal life, in spite of innumerable frustrations and immense complications, is looked after and guided by natural forces and cosmic intelligence."
