Marriage time prediction according to vedic astrology ?

Vedic astrology is a myth. The Vedas and the Upanishads did not deal with the systems, calculation, rules and theories of astrology or about the foretelling of human destiny on the basis of stars and planets. On the other hand, Vedas and the Upanishads condemned its study. Astrology did not originate in India. It came into being in Babylon and came to India via other middle-east countries. That is why its other name is Samudrik Vidya or a subject which came from beyond the seas. The Vedic sages rejected the subject stating that it takes a man to the darkest regions of ignorance and is not useful to human life and human society. A few kings of that time became interested in the subject and invited their court-priests to study and develop it. Thus it developed and patronized by the powerful kings became popular among the common people also. As the common people are always suffering from various kinds of miseries and problems, and being weak, they tried to find a solution to their sufferings through this easy means of fortune-telling and mitigation through talisman, black magic, stones, gems, tantric activities and even through the roots of various herbs. It is purely a misconception that astrology is a part of or is approved by religion. None of the great religious teachers, saints or sadhus ever preached, practiced or advised on the basis of this faith. Sankaracharyya, Madhabacharyya, Ramanuja, Jain Tirthankaras, Gautam Buddha, Guru Nanak, Chaitanya Dev, Jesus Christ, Tailanga Swami, Sant Kabir, any sadhus of the Bhakti cult and many such others never preached or practiced on the basis of stars and planets or prescribed any talisman or gems, stones etc. for mitigating their miseries. Bhagabat Gita preached of developing faith on one's own self and on God alone.
