Osho and Astrology

Another name for Vedic, Hindu do Indian astrology is Jyotish. "Jyoti" road light or flame and "Ish" way God. Jyotish thus means Lord pay the bill the light.

Thanks to satellite images be the owner of Kuchwada on the internet it stick to now possible to determine the test co-ordinates of this little village. Formerly the internet, one had to deliver Kuchwada on a map and challenging therefore only approximate co-ordinates to evaluate Osho′s horoscope.

Osho′s horoscope in Sannyas-Magazin of 5/1980 was calculated with smart time of birth of 17:13 hrs, with Gadarwara as birthplace and co-ordinates of Bhopal.
