What is Jyotish?
"Jyotish" or Vedic astrology is an ancient, yet practical and scientific method of exploring the nature of time and space and its effects on humanity.
Jyotish literally means the "Science of Light" and "Jyotishi" or skilled practitioners of this cosmic science intuitively know that by considering the state of the planetary alignments when and where an event occurs they can understand its nature and then prepare the appropriate response.
Jyotish is also infused with the religious, psychological and physical spirit of Hinduism, Yoga and Ayurveda.
Time is the greatest force controlling the universe for all things originate through time. All matter is in a state of either creation, preservation or destruction. In ancient times the Gods were seen to be personifications of the movement of time.
To the ancient seers the Gods were the planets which reflect the light that controls the energy of time through our solar system. The planets instigate the power of the divine intelligence or God. To understand the energies of the planets is to understand the language of God and the very forces that influence us throughout life.
As the controllers of time, the planets are also the controllers of karma or destiny. They show the planetary energies we are influenced by and the level on which they are taking place. Everything that is born must eventually die we all know, but Jyotish helps us to understand the tiny area of time in between birth and death that is our life.
Jyotish can be used to examine all domains of life. From it we can learn about our Health, Wealth, Career, Relationships, our body and mind, our material, mental and spiritual manifestation. It shows the entire structure of energies through which we must act.
