8. History of Astrology • The exercise begins with the quest for comprehending weather cycle. • It was realised that the Sun’s annular cycle read together with variations caused by other planetary bodies govern the weather cycle. • Numerals followed by Mathematics got conceived to formulate Astrology. • So, Astrology was the first evidence of logical thinking and structured approach to Life Matters. • In a way it laid the ground for Science to emerge.

9. The Energy Orchestra • Three modes of energies – Rajas (Action-the giver-the masculine); Tamas (Inertia-the taker-the feminine) and Sat (Neutral-the carrier) emerged out of saturated form of energy available at the Primordial source in course of intermittent agitation at that end. • The chain reaction of energy that followed progressively manifested itself as Energy providers in the form of Planets and Stars. • That followed formations of four elements Fire, Earth, Air & Water to form our physical frame. • It gets enlivened by Consciousness.
