Longevity

Determination of longevity or Ayu Nirnay, is an extremely difficult, yet an important task for an Astrologer. All proficient Astrologers are of the opinion that a horoscope should be analysed only after ascertaining the longevity of the Jatak.

There are many different methods of carrying out the Ayu Nirnay, but no one method can be called perfect. For this reason, it is better to check the Jatak’s longevity by a number of different methods.

Intuition plays an important role in Astrology, and even more so in the case of longevity determination. The Astrologer can develop his intuition through worship and sadhana.

Above all, it must be remembered that birth and death cannot be controlled by any human being. The only way to improve our future is by improving our karmas. The essence of all the ‘Dharma Granthas’ comes out in the form of only two words PAPA and PUNYA. Our entire existence revolves around these two words. So, only our present Karmas (the kriyaman karmas) are of prime importance. With this background I propose to introduce the subject.
