Astrology
Varanasi is a center of education and learning for
centuries and is aptly called as the cultural capital
of India. Scholars, intellectuals, philosophers,
mystics and saints from all over the world have
been coming to Varanasi, the capital of education.
In earlier times, Varanasi was more famous for Vedic
education and astrology (jyotish). Students and
scholars from different parts came to the holy city
to study and learn philosophy and astrology.
Thus, there developed a great tradition of learning
of Vedic astrology or "jyotish shastra"
at Varanasi. The system of Vedic astrology continues
to even this day in Varanasi. It is very much
evident in the "Guru Shishya parampara"
of Kashi. In ancient and medieval period, jyotish
was taught at "Ashrams" and "Gurukuls"
and it continues to be taught at many of the present
educational institutions at Varanasi. There are
separate faculties Meditation and Astrology in
