Do Tamil people believe in astrology?

Dr.Nadathur Srivatchan

Yes. They do. more than any part of the world! Please be prepared for a lengthy extensive answer, hope you will like it!

Tamil culture is Unique compared to Rest of India.

Tamil culture is unique because of their connected life to life cycle and food habits.

Tamilnadu boast of 18 Siddhars, who represented energy of lord shiva as guru to the followers!

North Indians may not be aware of all the 18 siddhars but they would have heard following siddhars

  1. Agasthiyar (Amazing works in the Area of Astrology and Ayurveda). One has to Visit Agasthya mountains in southern Tamilnadu. Amazing place for transformation

2. Bogar (Budhi Dharmar, One who visited China, taught them the art of Ayurveda and Yoga to them)

He has made statue of Lord Muruga (Karthikeya) out of 9 poisons (Nava Bashana), and Installed it in Palani (One of the Famous temple in Tamilnadu)

3. Thirumular (Amazing works on Human Body) his works are in his “Thirumanthiram” He had written works on human body on the level of atomic scale, 7000 years ago!

Tamilnadu is the land of Gnanis and Yogis!

Their way of life or living is tune with the Santana Dharma!

Though there are other religions do exists in Tamilnadu, like any part of India. More so specifically after the Invasion that started from 13th Century followed by colonial rule. We get to see the Spiritual inclination of Tamil people, even before world reference time of 2000AD!

Tamilnadu has 88% Hindu population. The reason why I focus on the Hindu Population is astrology deals with the concept of Karma. Unless you accept Karma and rebirth, Astrology may not appeal much to the person. Because Karma and Rebirth are essential components of Astrology.

Now to answer

Tamilnadu has highest number of temples. Nearly 33,000 ancient temples, many at least 800 to 5000 years old, are found scattered all over the state. Most of the largest temples are in the state of Tamilnadu. Studded with complex architecture, variety of sculptures, and rich inscriptions, the temples remain the very essence of the culture and heritage of Tamil land, with historical records dating back to at least 3,000 years.

The state also abounds with temple tanks. The state has 2,359 temple tanks located in 1,586 temples.

Tamilnadu has 88 of 108 Vaishnava Divyadesam in India.

Tamilnadu Highest number of Shiva temple!

Why this connection? Temples are sacred place where one offers prayers to the god, to repent for the mistakes as well as the get the blessings of deities to come out of the problem.
