JAMMU, Apr 7: Jammu Agriculture Department and Shri Kailak Jyotish and Vedic Sansthan Trust today conducted a day-long National Seminar on the benefits of astrology-based agriculture here today.
On the occasion, former minister and J&K BJP Vice President Sham Lal Sharma, Agriculture Director Jammu K.K Sharma, Jammu Kashmir Bank Chairman Subhash Chhibber, Senior advocate and J&K BJP Spokesperson, Abhinav Sharma and President of Shri Kailak Jyotish and Vedic Sansthan Trust, Mahant Rohit Shastri graced the occasion.
Speaking on the occasion, Sham Lal Sharma said that at present agriculture work is not only a means of earning livelihood but it is also proving to be a good business. “If nature supports the farmers, then a lot of money can be earned from this work too. Many types of diseases and natural outbreaks spoil the hopes of the farmers. The crop burns on sight,” he said, adding “Where there was an expectation of a quintal of grain, one has to be satisfied with a few kilograms of grain. In such a situation, if Indian astrology are coordinated along with scientific methods in the fields, then they can get a lot of benefits.”
Senior Advocate Abhinav Sharma said that the development of astrology started in ancient times for the purpose of counting. At that time people used to wait for the rain for agriculture on the basis of time count. The word year is derived from rain. At that time, the basis of time calculation was mainly the Sun and the Moon. On the basis of them the calculations of day-night, paksha, month, season, Ayan and year were done. In the Vedic period, for calculating the auspicious time for Yagya etc., the time calculation was done on astrological basis.
Subhash Chhibber said that the Moon revolves around the Earth in about 27 to 29 days. During this time he passes through all the 12 zodiac signs. He stays in one zodiac for 2.5 to 3.25 days. These zodiac signs directly affect the land, water, air and fire, which has an effect on the root, leaf, flower and fruit. Such programs should be organized.
Agriculture Director KK Sharma said that the movement of planets affects not only the farmer but also his crop and yield. Along with the Uttarayan and Dakshinayana of the Moon, the rainfall, sunlight and weather conditions required for the crop also depend on the influence of planets and zodiac signs. Due to better understanding of this effect of astrology in agriculture, the Agriculture Department is emphasizing on the promotion of Biodynamic Panchang method.
Mahant Rohit Shastri said that the planets and zodiac signs have a direct effect on the crop, yield. Mercury is the lord of green materials, while the lord of crops like gram is Guru. The movement and position of the planets determines the rainfall required for the crop. According to astrology, sowing done in Mrigashira Nakshatra proves to be the best. This is such a nakshatra in which if farmers sow their crops, then their land definitely turns gold.
At the end of the program, the Jammu Province Agricultural Employees Association honored Mahant Rohit Shastri for promoting Sanskrit language in the state.
On this occasion Professor Sharad Sharma, Dr. Suman Kumar Pant, Dr. Rajiv Dixit, Prabod Sharma, Seema Segal, Rakesh Gandotra, Pawan Khajuria, Shekhar Sharma, Rajeshwar Singh Raju, Uttam Sharma, Shekhar Sharma, Rakesh Jamwal, Jagdev Chib, Ankush Sharma, Suman Lal Shastri, Sanjay Shastri, Vishal Sharma, Manmohan Singh, Vijay Seth, Roshan Baral, Rahul Sharma, Dinesh Sharma, Anchal Singh, Arun Kumar, Ashok Sharma, Rahul Sharma, Dr. Guru Prasad, Dr. Sakshi, Bajinder Chib, Vikas, Ashok Gupta, Satish Chandra Jandial etc. were present.
