Pandit Sanjay Rath and the Puri Paramparā
About Pandit Sanjay Rath
He uses Brihat Parasara Hora Shastra, Jaimini Upadesa Sutras, Brihat Jataka and Saravali as the foundations of Jyotisha and teaches from various other Jyotish scripture and sacred literature such as the Bhagavad Gita, Upanisads, Puranas, etc. Few are able to grasp Sanjay’s broad and deep approach, and only the advanced astrologer is truly able to appreciate it. His teachings show the underlying factors of why the principles of astrology work. His teaching and writings span across various schools of thought, although not creating his own brand of astrology, which is wholistic and gets to the heart of the ancient Jyotisha scriptures. He is a strict follower of the teachings of the ancient seers and is also keen for research and further development of the subject.
Pandit Sanjay Rath's Vision
He gives his students the clarity of vision of the eye of the Vedas and his works are filling the void of advanced teachings and raising the standards in the astrological world.
To promote the teachings of his parampara he has formed the Shri Jagannath Center where his advanced students are helping to spread Jyotisha in a way that keeps its spiritual roots. Students learn not only about Jyotisha, but also mantra shastra, mudra, pranayama, meditation, and the Sanatana Dharma. He is presently working on translating the ancient Jyotish scriptures according to his deep understanding of their meaning that has been given to him through the grace of his parampara.
Frequently Ask Question
What is Paramparā Jyotiṣa?
Jyotiṣa is the traditional method of reading time — the grahas, the nakṣatras, and what a period is likely to ask of you. It is called the eye of the Vedas, and it is taught guru to śiṣya rather than from a book alone.
The line Pandit Sanjay Rath teaches in runs back to Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu.
Why it matters
