The ancient practice of Jyotish is recognized as the traditional Hindu system of astrology dating back thousands of years.  Jyoti, Sanskrit for light, is translated as “to see with light” and is considered to be the oldest form of astrology known to date.

Astrology is simply about recognizing universal symbols and road signs along our life’s journey through our Soul’s evolution.   And by seeing life’s opportunities, lessons, archetypes and challenges along the way, we are inherently guided to a higher path of understanding and wisdom.

My journey into the world of astrology began years ago after I was given a reading by a fellow yogi at the ashram we were living in, a spiritual community founded upon the teachings of my Guru Paramahansa Yogananda and his Kriya Yoga lineage.

I embrace sacred texts from the around the world, including the Bible, Bhagavad Gita, the Torah, Tao Te Ching and many others.  Some may find this contradictory, and yet I can share with you from experience that eternal Truths from traditions around the world, resonate with a sacred wisdom that cannot be denied.

When we are willing to take time to experience prayer and meditation, whether from our own spiritual tradition or from a different culture’s practice than one’s own, a clarity of insight and wisdom can open our awareness to the ultimate Universal Truth, “That All is One”!
