In the Olden Days....

Just about fifty years ago the average Indian knew [Even my father knew about the basics of astrology and he used to fix muhurtam for Travel purpose] about his correct birth date and time, his lagna, his rasi, his birth nakshatra, about the well placed and ill placed planets in his chart, about the dashas and transit effects and the remedial measures he must undertake. ( My father had recorded the correct birth time and date of his children and noted in a Book, whjch is with my elder Brother). They knew the basics of astrology and how deep and vast it is. As a result they also knew how tough the job of an astrologer is and used to have some respect for this ancient science and for its practitioners. [He used to consult the family Astrologer for marriage of his daughters etc.]
