Astronomical calculation of stellar influence upon a born living being is not a supposition but it is a fact as confirmed here in the text of authoritative literature like Srimad Bhagwatam. Every living being is controlled by the laws of nature in every minute as much as a citizen is controlled by the influence of the state. Obligation of the state laws is grossly observed but the laws of material nature being very particularly subtle to our gross understanding, we cannot experience them very grossly. As stated in the Bhagwat Geeta (B.G. 3/9) that every action of life is producing another reaction at once which is another binding upon us and only those who are acting on behalf of Yajna (Vishnu) are not bound up by the reactions. Our actions are judged by the higher authorities the agents of the Lord and thus we are awarded a body according to our own activities. The law of nature is so subtle that every part of our body is influenced by the respective stars and such a living being obtains his working body to fulfill his terms of imprisonment by the manipulation of such astronomical influence. A man's destiny is therefore ascertained by the birthtime constellation of stars and the factual horoscope is made by a learned astrologer. It is a great science and misuse of a science does not mean its uselessness. Maharaj Parikshit or even the Personality of Godhead do appear at a certain particular constellation of good stars and thus the influence is exerted upon the body thus born in auspicious moment. The most auspicious constellation of stars takes place during the appearance of the Lord on this material world and it is specifically called JAYANTI not to be abused for any other purposes. Maharaj Parikshit was not only a great Kshatriya Emperor but also a great devotee of the Lord. As such he cannot take his birth in any inauspicious moment. As proper place and time is selected to receive a respectable personage, so also to receive a personality like Maharaj Parikshit who is specially care-taken by the Supreme Lord, suitable moment when all good stars assembled together to exert their influence upon the king and thus he took his birth just to be known as the great hero of Srimad Bhagwatam. This suitable arrangement of astral influence is never a creation of man's will but it is the arrangement of the superior management of the agency of the Supreme Lord. Off course the arrangement is made according to the good or bad deeds of the living being. Herein lies the importance of pious and sinful acts performed by the living being. By pious acts only one can be allowed to get good wealth, good education and beautiful features of the material body. The Samaskaras of the school of Sanatan Dharma (man's eternal engagement) is highly suitable for creating an atmosphere of taking advantage of good stellar influence and therefore, Garbhadhan Samskaram or the first seedling purificatory process prescribed for the higher castes, is the beginning of all pious acts to receive good, pious and intelligent class of men in the human society. There is peace and prosperity in the world by good and sane population only and there is hell and disturbances only by unwanted insane populace of sex indulgence.
