Maharishi has always claimed that Jyotish is a science and that
therefore a computer would be the best practitioner.
To my eyes the biggest pointer to it being a huge load of
Anthropomorphism is the fact that all of the planets beyond the
orbit of saturn are missing from the jyotish calculations. Do they
not have an effect? or is it because they are not visible to the
naked eye and consequently the ancients couldn't have known about
them?
An if it doesn't mean anything at all why have yagyas to "correct"
approaching problems?
