Every life, every person -- no exceptions -- has a unique purpose, and if we live our lives consciously, each of us can unfold that purpose. Jyotisha, more formally known as Jyotir Vidya, is a sister science to Yoga which offers us yet another beautiful methodology for realizing the highest expression of our lives.
Jyoti = 'light' ; vidya = 'wisdom' or 'understanding the underlying cause' . Thus, the essence of Jyotisha is to cast light on our personal path: to clearly see what helps shape our path well and what hinders it, and to understand how, in mindfully cultivating our own path, we contribute to the collective good.
