Astrology in Raam's Times
We do have the planets mentioned in the Raamaayan. But the astrologic Karan, mentioned in the Raamaayan, could not be traced, except that Karan are mentioned in relation to music; suggesting that in the times of Raam Gandharv Ved was known. But it is good that planets are mentioned in the Raamaayan and that is a good evidence that astrology was known in the times of Lord Raam and that is some 18 million years ago, which nullifies the claim that astrology is relatively new having been invented by the Babylonians some 4,000 years ago.
