Jyotish Teachings

About Me
I began studying Jyotish (Vedic astrology) when I was about 8 years of age.
My father who was a medical practitioner by profession had learnt Jyotish
from his mother. My grandmother, who herself, was a renowned astrologer
of her days and had learnt from her own ancestors, had taught many pupils
the divine science in Indore, the city where my grandfather lived. Learned
astrologers of Nagpur, where my father shifted about 4 years after my birth,
used to come to my father for astrological discussions, and listening to my
father explain the intricacies of the principles of Vedic astrology, my interest
in this divine science was kindled.
My studies in astrology continued, side by side with my schooling and then
college education in Mechanical Engineering.
I have been now learning Vedic astrology for almost 52 years and I have
seen many changes in the way the science is practiced over time. I am a firm
believer that Jyotish, being a Vedanga (limb of Vedas), is to be used for
helping those in distress, I therefore follow the family tradition of not
charging for astrological readings.

Over a period of time many of my students and associates started noticing that I preferred to use the least number of
parameters and could still arrive at a fair number of correct predictions. Many of them began asking me to write a book
on Vedic astrology, elaborating upon the logic I use to come to the conclusion as to a future event. My book “Vedic
Astrology Demystified” was published in 2007. Since the publication of my book my students have urged me to set up
this Internet site in order to carry on my teachings and provide an easy mechanism for ongoing interaction, hence the
purpose of “jyotishteachings”.
In the course of my studies in astrology I have had the occasion of meeting both older generation astrologers and those
of the modern times. I have also had the opportunity to deliver lectures both in India and overseas and met many young
students and knowledgeable astrologers in person and learnt of their views. I am enriched in astrological knowledge by
this interaction. When I began my studies in Vedic astrology, I used to think I knew everything in astrology and it is only
with deeper studies that I have realized the vast knowledge in this divine science that is yet untapped and needs to be
understood in its proper perspective; my hope is that “jyotishteachings” can assist us all in our learning process of this
divine science.
I currently live in Nagpur, located in the center of India with my wife, son, daughter-in-law and two grandsons.
