Agricultural Astrology Khannar Vachan

Khannarvachan, system of astrology that descibes the timing of sowing seeds, farming activities, work done by varahamihira's daughter-in-law. SummaryLater Prithuyasas and his wife met the father that is Varahamihira in the city of Ujjain. As time went back the daughter in law of Varahamihira became very famous for her predictions as she too had learnt secrets of astrology from the Lanka1 King. Now comes the part that is indigestible & hope not true and may Varahamihira forgive us. It is said Varahamihira got jealous of his daughter in law as everyone in the city would throng to her and not him and he said to his son that if this continues they no longer would occupy the seat of honor in the Kings court i.e. Navaratna (9 gems) of the Court. So they agreed to cut off the tongue of Prithuyasas’s wife and when she came to know of it she said ‘Dear Husband, you are God to me (in olden times women treated their husbands as Gods in India) and whatever you say I will do it willingly but first you learn astrology from me, what the King never taught you’ and then she started teaching rarest of secrets of astrology to Prithuyasas and these rumblings of hers has come to be known as Khannar Vachan. The reason for her name of Khanna is after her tongue was cut, still she would stutter and predict and thus her name got changed to Khanna is one version of the story. It is difficult to imagine that a great astrologer like Varahamihira would cut of his daughter in laws tongue, we all have grown up loving Varahamihira but at the same time none of us know the real story. It is also seen by all of us that astrologers do anything to be famous and remain famous, they try to catch on to self created thrones that no longer belongs to them and still many astrologers in India resort to Sadhana of the negative type of occult practices to remain famous or to get knowledge. This practice of using such type of occult mantras tantras is now becoming more prevalent in the era of Internet Astrology Forums & blogs where for 2 minutes of fame everyone tries to stamp upon the other. Infact some organisations offer you a mantra to start with when you join their astrology course or parampara, 99 % of astro students are the gullible lot and believe that mantras are a necessity to learn astrology or to predict, if that was so Indians or Paramparas would have 1000s of years back written articles on how to time marriage to the day, date of death, date of every event through their mantras. Unfortunately more harm to one’s life is done via mantras than good which though was the original purpose of it, this conclusion you would arrive after 30-40 years of intense observation on lives of 1000-2000 astrologers but by then it’s too late as you yourself would be one of the case studies.
