Vedāṅga

The Vedāṅgas are six supporting disciplines of Vedic study: Śikṣā (sound), Chandas (metre), Vyākaraṇa (grammar), Nirukta (word meaning), Kalpa (ritual practice) and Jyotiṣa (time and the sky).

What the word means

Veda, knowledge, and aṅga, limb.

How it is calculated

Not applicable.

History

Developed in the late Vedic period so the hymns could be spoken, understood and performed at the right time.

Energy

Supportive and precise.

Physical description

A body of teaching, first carried by voice and memory.

Interpretation

Jyotiṣa is called the eye of the Veda.

Vedaz's interpretation

Vedaz draws on Vedāṅga for method and on Vedānta for meaning.

This is a symbolic pattern, not a prediction. Nothing in a chart removes your agency. Vedaz content is reflective and is not medical, psychological, legal or financial advice.
