This class video is an analysis of Spiritual Background of Vedic Astrology by Patraka das. This essay does a great job of expressing one of the most important points of our Jyotish teaching: Jyotish is designed to function in the spiritual context of the Vedas. All of the four main pillars of Jyotish—the planets, signs, houses and charts—are expressions of different aspects of the Supreme Lord. If someone tries to practice astrology outside of that context, it may be astrology but it's not Jyotish anymore. Jyotish is ultimately about how our original eternal spiritual relationship with God is fragmented and reflected in the changing material energy—and most importantly, how to find our way out of the funhouse mirror maze of the material world and back to our original spiritual identity and eternal life in the spiritual world.

Like all incarnations of the Lord, Buddha is eternal. He was also predicted and described in Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, before His appearance. There is also some confusion between the original Viṣṇu incarnation of Buddha, and the later Śākhyamuni Buddha.
Respected Baba Ji I have a question? Parashara was the father of Vedavyasa who wrote the Mahabharata. but Mahabharata period was 2500 BC to 3200 BC., or around 1200BC. Buddha belonged to the much later and died in 544BC. Then how did Parashara say that Buddha is the Avatara of Mercury more than a millennium before? If he were forecasting then he would have clearly stated that "Buddha avatara will be born"?
