Varga Chakra

The Sri Jagannath Center (SJC) was established in 1998 in India with the objective of teaching Vedic Astrology in the tradition of Maharishi Parasara, Jaimini and other sages of yore. Vedic Astrology will be taught by a panel of jyotish Guru’s in the traditional Jyotish parampara of Sri Ahyuta Dasa of Jagannath, Puri. The highest standards of integrity would be infused through the strict discipline of yogic Practices in the Vedic religion including training in Vedic remedial measures. Meditation including dhyana (meditation techniques to cleanse the mind), dharana (concentration techniques to increase intelligence and use of intuition), pranayama (yogic breathing methods to increase life force) etc. are taught to ensure spiritual discipline while the classes on the Srimad Bhagavat Gita and Sanskrit ensures a balanced spiritual growth with the knowledge of Vedic Astrology. SJC continues in the ancient, time-honored “Guru-Sisya” tradition and is dedicated to the propagation of Vedic Learning including Astrology, Spirituality, Vedic Numerology, Vaastu Shastra, and Hinduism etc. SJC has been established in various parts of the world and has many study circles.

About Vyankatesa Sharma

This first ever workshop on Divisional Charts is aptly named after Pt.

Vyankatesa Sharma, the illustrious author of the renowned Jyotish classic “Sarvarth Chintamani”, who hailed from Andhra Pradesh-the state where the workshop is being conducted. His monumental classic ‘Sarvartha Chintamani’ is the most detailed work ever on the use of divisions, divisional charts and a host of other factors and tools used in Vedic astrology. A fine translation of this work was attempted by the late Sri Jagannath Bhasin, who passed away before completing it and the present version is the effort of Sri S.S.Sareen and others who were somehow able to put together his notes and manuscript. This workshop is intended to kindle a fresh look at the divisional charts and other related aspects of Jyotish. A look at the Faculty and the topics to be discussed promise a power-packed sojourn of intense spirituality and in-depth learning-a humble yet befitting tribute to the master astrologer.
