The father of Indian Astrology is considered to be Maharishi Parashara, who is believed to have authored the Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra, a foundational text on Vedic astrology. Parashara is also credited with the creation of the Jaimini system of astrology, which is another important branch of Indian astrology.
Parashara’s Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra is considered to be one of the most important texts in Indian astrology and covers a wide range of topics related to astrology, including horoscopes, planetary positions, and interpretations of astrological phenomena. The text is still widely studied and used by astrologers in India today.
