Journey towards stars - 2

A celestial system with limitations has been used to calculate the time. The name Jyotish has been derived from that system. A celestial body with some spark is called Jyotish in Sanskrit and Study done with the help of the celestial bodies is called Jyotisham. The object of the time reckoning is fulfilled with system adopted where seven celestial bodies including the sun and the moon are observable around the earth on the imaginary circle. Though their angular motions are calculated on this circular path they are corrected with the arc difference with their true planets. This phenomenon will be discussed later in detail. But one thing worth notable at this point is the geocentric movement of the planets. Angular velocity of them is calculated in respect of the centre of the earth which is used to reckon the time. All those differences due to their movement around the sun and their dissimilar distance from the earth have been corrected through the formulas evaluated. So the system adopted for some purpose may not be considered as a wrong concept in respect of the heliocentric system. It has been made enough clear in the Indian astrology and it will be clarified later in detail.
