Astronomy & Maths are inseparable from Astrology. The father of Indian Astrology, Varaha Mihira ( 500 A C E ), was not only an astrologer, he was an astronomer & mathematician par excellence. The trignometric equation Sin^2 ( x ) + Cos^2 ( x ) = 1 is attributed to this Master. (The word Trignometry derives from the Sanskrit Thrikonamithi & Geometry from Jyamithi). He wrote masterpieces in Astronomy ( Pancha Siddhantika ) & Astrology ( Horasastra ). In Astronomy and Maths, he had risen to the level of Kepler & Laplace, only to be matched by geniuses like Aryabhata, Brahmaguptha, Bhaskara, Sir Simon Newcomb, Brown & Leverier ! He postulated that planetary longitudes can be found by the Threefold Trignometric Method of Manda Kriya ( Reduction to Heliocentric Coordinates ), Parinathi Kriya ( Reduction to Ecliptic Coordinates ) & Sheeghra Kriya ( Reduction to Geocentric Coordinates) ! He was the most brilliant amongst the Nine Gems ( Nine Intellectuals), who adorned the court of King Vikramaditya ( Khyato Varaha Mihiro Nripater Sabhayam ). He had acquired immense spiritual powers due to Transcendental Meditation ( Savirthru Labdha Vara Prasada). He postulated the Helio-centric Theory of Gravitation, that all planets revolve around the Sun due to Celestial Gravity. ( Soorya Jagathah Chakshu - Guruthwakarshan ).
