🕉️ In the Rigvedic era, our ancestors already possessed highly advanced astronomical understanding.
They observed the sky not just with curiosity, but with mathematical precision.
Their goal: to decode the dance of the Sun, Moon, Nakshatras & seasons.

☀️🌙 Movement of the Sun & Moon was the cornerstone.
Why?
Because life itself — agriculture, festivals, rituals, and yajnas — flowed with their cycles.
Knowing these movements meant knowing Rta, the cosmic order.

📜 Vedanga Jyotisha helped determine the correct timing for major Vedic rituals like:
• Darśapūrṇamāsa (New Moon & Full Moon yajnas)
• Cāturmāsya (Seasonal rites)
• Agnishṭoma Somayāga
Right time = Right cosmic alignment = Maximum spiritual benefit.

🌑🌕 Did you know?
Ancient Indian astronomers could predict eclipses, calculate Amavasya, Purnima, and track Nakshatras with remarkable accuracy — LONG before modern telescopes existed.
This knowledge wasn’t superstition; it was pure computation.

✨ The text divides the sky into 27 Nakshatras, forming a stellar map used to measure time.
Each Nakshatra marked specific energies and helped fix the timings of yajnas, festivals, and seasonal observances.
A cosmic calendar far ahead of its time!
