Jyotisha: The Yoga of the Cosmos

Jyotisha: The Yoga of the Cosmos
Interview with Dr. Katyayani Poole, Ph.D
By Sara Avant Stover
She hadn't spoken to her brother in three years. Despite being a dedicated yoga teacher and practitioner and serving as Core Power's Colorado regional manager, Heather Peterson couldn't find the tools to mend this familial divide.
"All of the other work I've done to heal this relationship" she revealed, "are interesting and good, but to understand things from a larger, karmic perspective through Jyotisha (pronounced joe-teesh-ah) helped me to make bigger changes."
Now Heather considers the renewed friendship with her brother one of her greatest successes, one she attributes to her Jyotisha, or Vedic Astrology, readings with Dr. Katyayani Poole, Ph.D and co-Director of Shruti Institute for Vedic Arts in Nederland, Colorado.
Here in Boulder, I spoke with esteemed jyotishi (Vedic Astrologer), Katyayani, about how yogis can tap into this ancient science to access greater wisdom, clarity, and freedom in their lives-past, present, and future.
FY: Jyotisha is a term we don't often hear. How do you define it?
KP: Jyotisha means "to cast light on something." Most simply, it is the ancient Vedic method to enlighten you to your highest Self and uncover the real purpose of your life.
(The Vedas are the systems of wisdom and self-realization from which the tradition of Yoga sprang up - and have the same purpose to bring the individual in unity with the whole of creation.)
Jyotisha casts the light of perception on your life, showing you the true nature and reason behind all your likes and dislikes, your relationships, your unique skills and talents, and your predispositions toward certain experiences. By seeing all the aspects of your life very clearly, you then become a captain of your own destiny and live freely with grace and happiness.
It is a profound healing modality, which is needed by many people in the world today who lack a sense of self-purpose and meaning in their lives.
