What a loss for those who cannot take this once in a lifetime oportunity! 🪷🥹
I see people complaining about prices and I wonder if they live in another world than us. Everything they offer in this lineage is far from being expensive, it is the cheapest price possible for such rare knowledge in esoteric sciences. Everyone needs money including the teachers and astrologers because we do not live in Himalayas or village ashrams anymore. If it was so, then I would try my chance by offering “SOME” donation or seva. Instead, if you are really that much spiritual, for example you can find yourself a sadhu in Vrindavan for free but he will probably not even teach you astrology. Because the first thing you will learn in spiritual life is that astrology is simply about SUBTLE MATERIAL ENERGIES and SPIRIT has nothing to do with it because it is manifested from a different shakti than God’s external material manifestation energy. Freedom or Sanjay Rath, they are not sadhus, they are scholars and all the time they clearly show the world that their intention is not business because indeed these prices are a lot lower than they deserve. I personally cannot afford it, and that’s completely my problem.
Hi Freedom. When we register for the PJC, do we immediately have access to the recordings? Or must we wait the beginning of the session in January? Thank you.
Wow, what a blessing Freedom Cole 🙏
I’m in the 3rd year in another batch and JSP also and I can tell that this is the best thing happened with me in my life so far. Those who are planning to join, be prepared that this knowledge is vast, sacred and full of wonders ✨ Make as much notes as you can, the most will remain with you.
Om Gurave Namah
Guruji, the website states that optional contact classes are to be held in India/Himalayas, annually. If this batch is intended for North American audiences, is there any chance of having CCs a bit closer to home? I'm hoping that it's an anomaly, but with recent changes in gas prices, etc. airfare to India has increased drastically since the onset of the 2020 pandemic.
On the website, it states that we will have our first live session on Sunday the 1st of January. Is that possible? ;-O
sir any cut-off date for registration of PJC
When are the enrolments beginning for PJC 2023? I have been waiting for this.
Guruji, I am trying to find more information about this program on the website, but most of the links say that the "content is for members only". Not sure if I am doing anything wrong.
In any case, may I know what are the pre-requisites for the course, and if this program takes in new students every year? Thank you!
Namaste , i read on your website that this batch course PjC leaded by you is for those people who attended your courses or have at least same preparation in fondamentals of vedic astrology. Can u please be more specific about this seeing that anyone can pay the fees and join as i saw on PJC website? Is there any possibility to pay with paypal account eventually?
I hope you don't mind me asking as this may be more personal, but below in an answer to a question you wrote: " But I have to mentor this one time through." Could you tell us more about this? What does offering this course mean to you? You already have your own school and program. What makes this opportunity exciting or interesting for you as a teacher? I reckon you will have the chance to go further in the knowledge transmission with students than in your own program. I am very curious. For myself, I have been waiting for the opportune time to begin my studies with you and was contemplating between PJC and SOL. I felt a certain conflict. I finally said to myself: let's start with the SOL, cause I profoundly appreciate what Freedom brings. It's sharp and clear. And now, this merger happens! Which seems to be the very best of both worlds. Very inspiring opportunity. 🙂 Thank you ! Blessings.
It's not expensive, it's our darkness to judge the course lower than MBBS or any other higher degree for mundane knowledge now think and judge
🙂 On the site it states the following: *** The highlight of this year is the initiation into the sacred mantra of Maharṣi Parāśara. Those who have attended the contact course have benefited by the initiation. Others can consider seeking a private audience for the initiation with the Jyotiṣa Guru. *** Is this still possible? How will it work? To receive initiation into this sacred mantra makes a World of difference in the study of Jyotish.
hi freedom for indians will there be another payment method ,its charging too high with conversion
Namaskar Freedomji. I seek to be enrolled in this course. But I have two questions regarding payment procedures; First is that the the official fees for Indian students is showing to be Ninetyfive Thousand Rupees; whereas in the Coinbase platform, it is showing Eightyone Thousand Rupees. Why is there this significant difference? And Secondly, I want to know which crypto currency shall I choose? There are multiple coins like Bitcoin, Etherium, Litecoin, Tether etc. etc. Is any one of them better than the rest?? If so, then which one?? Or are all of them fundamentally similar in their usability? Which one of them is preferable?
Namaste, Is this a big group??
I like the way yiu have structured this🙏😩😩
I have studied up to PJC2
Hi again. The Live class is on Sunday at 11am EST. Is this a fixed time, or is there a possibility that it changes. Just to be 100% sure. Thank you.
If I understand correctly, you and Dr Eric will be the mentors for the entire 5 year program, correct? If we have the opportunity to visit India on a yearly basis, both of you should, God willing, also be there. Correct?
great!!
Positive karma doesn’t lead to rebirth. Where does it go then? (From the karma audio)
Can we still.join this Freedom Cole ?
In the past. If I’m not mistaken. PJC was recorded lectures.
Has anything changed.
What will u Freedom offer exactly. How does all of this work.

Hi sir, this is a gentle reminder of my a question that may have slipped through the crack. I would greatly appreciate getting clarity about this. Thank you. ////// On the site it states the following: *** The highlight of this year is the initiation into the sacred mantra of Maharṣi Parāśara.

Freedom will discuss the factors that create mental resilience from a traditional Vedic perspective, explain how they are seen astrologically, and explore how these concepts can be translated into modern psychological terminology. Then he will explore some common mental health issues through this lens of astrology and share how he utilizes this to recommend different types of modern psychology approaches to be most supportive to returning the heart and mind to balance.

As astral magic returns to a place of respect, the limited sources for reconstruction open many questions. How do the planetary gods relate to the various pantheons among other cultures and how can we apply the principles of astral magic to working with them? The Greeks had a system of syncretism called Interpretatio Graeca, which was carried forward by the Romans who correlated the gods of other cultures with their own. Freedom will discuss how this has been done during the last two millennium in the Vedic tradition, where deities from various pantheons are regularly incorporated into planetary remedial practices to heal disease and improve the quality of life.
Freedom will discuss textual references of astrological syncretism in Vedic, Vaiṣṇava, Śaiva, and Tāntrik pantheons. He will share how this is utilized within living astrological traditions as not just a one-to-one direct correlation, but a complex pluralism that respects the nature of the pantheons while using them for astrological magic. Freedom will share some personal experiences from his practice and give some suggestions for future works integrating deities of other cultures.
Freedom Cole is known for his ability to translate ancient Vedic principles into practical application. He has spent more than two decades studying within a living Indian Jyotiṣa tradition and is recognized as a senior teacher (Jaimini Scholar and Jyotiṣa Paṇḍita). He is a practitioner of Āyurveda (AP), Yoga therapy (C-IAYT) and has an MA in Clinical Psychology. Freedom is the author of two books and numerous articles. He is faculty in the Āyurveda and mental health modules of the Kripalu Yoga Therapy program and has an international Jyotiṣa school (Science of Light) where he is dedicated to empowering practitioners.
good to see you☺️🙏🏼Sounds great!
All the best 👍👍👍
🙏🏻🌙🙏🏻 I’m sure you will blow their minds away …
Freedom Cole you are such a legend bro you are my hero your interview with thunderwizard was amazing 👏
I couldn’t have said it better.What becomes evident and reiterated for a student on any Vedic path – such as a Yoga, Ayurveda, Jyotish, or Vastu, for example – is when we truly touch a tradition. We don’t just know that the study, information, or teacher is offering something with Indian or Vedic roots. We inherently know and FEEL the geographical, regional, and cultural ties. We feel the living lineage. We know the living lineage. There is a clear tradition-al approach to the path that gives one an experience of a type of apprenticeship. And the practice offers a feeling of wholeness, completion, where the teachings being offered and studied have a rich, insightful depth that very distinctly moves us from the valuable external purifying and stabilizing practices to a tangible and accessible internal pathway. There is no sense of lacking or needing to find more. There is a sense of Shraddha, of trust and faith in the complete system offered. There is an inherent knowing, beyond the thinking rationalizing mind, that we are touching the nectar. It leaves us curious and hungry for more of the ambrosia. Yet simultaneously we are humbled and satisfied with the slow unfolding of studentship. We want to tell the world (so no one misses the beauty!), whilst also wanting to keep the wisdom path as a precious secret, close to the heart.
I’ve very gratefully touched these qualities over the years specifically studying Odissi. And have very recently fallen onto a path to pursue study of Vedic mantra (after years of sensing it coming, but not having known nor felt the right path ahead).
Notably, after years of feeling an indescribable connection to learn @shadow_yoga – but not having access to a teacher locally – it has been a truly enriching blessing to finally be able to direct some time to learning under the generous, articulate, and insightful Rebecca Barlow, of @apsarayogashala, here in Canberra. So far, Shadow Yoga feels like a thread that connects and weaves Yoga and Odissi together like a beautiful tapestry.
May you too have the great fortune of finding the nectar on your path. The secrets are waiting to be discovered by those with a heartfelt yearning for the limitless depths! … See MoreSee Less

This is a six-week course designed to give an understanding of the basic elements of Vedic Astrology and to understand how an astrologer reads a chart.There are pre-recorded videos to prepare for clas…
This course is based on a proven foundational structure from an established and ancient tradition, which lasts 6 weeks and is intended to help a newcomer ease into the science. Any beginners to Vedic Astrology are welcome and encouraged to participate.
By the end of this course, past students have been able to cast a simple Vedic Horoscope, and have a high-level understanding of how celestial mechanics work, and how they are used in prognostication. Graduates from this program emerge with a solid foundation which they can use to further their study.
In this class, you will learn a concise overview, consisting of the following topics:
Week One: History, Context, Karma, and the Grahas (planets)
Week Two: Zodiac of the Sky, Signs and Houses
Week Three: Evaluating Planetary Strengths
Week Four: The Nakshatras (Lunar Constellations)
Week Five: Divisional Charts
Week Six: Timing of Events
This course consists of a combination of pre-recorded and live sessions with me. Live webinars are kept small and intimate to ensure that participants have a chance to interact and learn. During these, we will look at charts together, read them together, and there will be some optional reading and homework. As classes are kept small, there are limited slots available.
I first heard about Jyotish from my Ayurveda practitioner. I stumbled on to the Science of Light website a few months ago and felt very pulled toward it. I noticed that an intro course was being offered by Joey Bujold, and it just felt right. The course was very in depth for it being an introductory course. All of the information presented was done in a great structure and pace. It motivated me to continue on and also sign up for the level 1 SOL course. It's a fantastic starting point to an unbelievable journey.
this 6-week course is a wonderful stepping stone into the world of jyotish! it provides the basics that allow for one to dip their toes into the vast waters that is vedic astrology.
Joey Bujold, Vedic Astrologer is a joy as a teacher. i'm always impressed by his approach with students. he is kind, open-minded, receptive and his insights to students are always rooted in a firm understanding of the principles of jyotish. joey meets the students wherever they are at in their jyotish journeys.
for those interested, this course starts next sunday, june 12th ✨
The only thing better than taking this valuable Intro class is taking it with Joey! He truly brings heart to such a heady subject, and is genuinely invested in our learning. I still use him as a resource 💖🙏🏽
For people who want to learn more about their chart, this is the best way to really learn more about your chart and the ancient system of Indian astrology.
Please do not follow blindly!
Hello, Please read all
You know that the Bible severely condemns any practice of spiritualism, clairvoyance, occult sciences, cards, tarots, horoscopes, etc. (Leviticus 20.27, Deuteronomy 18.10-13).
I'm not trying to offend you, you should know that satan and his demons give mediums information about a person in order to hook him into spiritualism, which God forbids. In most cases, the mediums themselves are deceived and do not know what is the true source of the information they receive, they think they have a special gift from the angels of light. But Satan disguises himself as an angel of light to deceive people and turn you away from God. Don't be fooled wake up.
In (2 Corinthians 11:14-15). The Bible gives us no reason to believe that we can contact our deceased loved ones. In Matthew 23:32 <I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not a God of the dead, but of the living. >
Satan knows the secrets of humans, he has the experience and knowledge of humans since creation at our expense and plays with us to steal souls because he is at war with God. Satan hates God's creation. Satan roaring, looking for someone to devour. (1 Peter 5.8) Watch how the world is flooded with hatred by the power of Evil.
God by his free will that he offers us is to follow him or not. Jesus who said of himself: "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." jeans 14.6 Toi be saved by the salvation of our soul to avoid hell. John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that in him he might not perish, but have
everlasting life." Ask Jesus for forgiveness to be saved.
This weekend is the National Ayurvedic Medical Association Conference, and it will be available live online.
I will be moderating the Allied Science panel at 10:30AM on Saturday. It will have one Yoga Therapist (Nishita Shah), one Vastu Shastri (Michael Mastro), and one Jyotishi (Dr. Suhas Kshirsagar), and I plan to weave them together for the Ayurvedic practitioner to have an idea of why and when we need each of them.
Then I will be a panelist in the Advanced Track on the Ojas Panel at 3:30pm that Saturday. There will be a doctor (Aparna Bapat) discussing ojas at the physical level, a psychologist (Sujatha Reddy) discussing ojas at the mental level, and I will discuss ojas on the spiritual (karana) level. This will be moderated by doctor of Ayurveda Dinesh Gyawali.
If you have been studying Ayurveda or getting ready to, the NAMA conference is a great place to hear the modern voices of Ayurveda and learn where you to go next or expand what you presently understand.No plans next Saturday? Register for our VIRTUAL OPTION today and get access to seven valuable sessions (including all three featured speakers!) to stream live or watch within the two-week viewing period.

New Formatting for the Vedic Planner! deva.guru has been working hard to reformat the Vedic planner so we can easily have 18 different time zones available this 2022 (final pdf to come, please don’t print this opinion version). An arising question: should we have lines within the boxes for the day, or is it better to leave them unlined. We would love to hear the opinion of those who use the planner-have a look and tell us what you think: drive.google.com/file/d/169A9gEBG3i7i4slnbgFMScGeCi0-3a2g/view?usp=sharing … See MoreSee Less
It may look simple, but it is such a huge amount of work and an accomplishment to have automated the calendar this year. There may be some mistakes in holiday calculation for different time zones that we may still need to work out (that we haven't found yet), but for all time zones to be available with the computer's accuracy, not a human's mistakes is just so wonderful. This gives us so much to build on for the future of the planner. We still have a few checks to run, and edits/updates to the website, but the present 18 versions are available at www.vedicplanner.com/
Let us know if you see any problems… and Don't print them till after Makara Sankranti when we do the official announcement, and we are sure that what is on the site is what you want to print. But for those who are bubbling with excitement, have a look at the new format.
so far i only use the digital version, and i like the lines. they provide clarity, delineation. i can imagine tho, if i were to use the print version, i would prefer no lines, to allow for the randomness of my note taking. .02
i'm torn because i am used to the lines and feel like they keep me in check in being orderly & neat with my planner.
…though sometimes i feel limited by them, too. ahhh! i'm not sure but wanted to add my 2 cents for now 🙃
I can't say I used the lines to a fault, but I like having options and think the aesthetic with lines is more fitting for an organizational tool.
Thanking you so much for your sincere efforts to compile and arrange it. 🙏
Thankyou for all your efforts to bless us with this sacred tool, may Mahadev always bless you and your family. For me, no lines is needed. 🙏🏼✨✨✨
I like to print it. I would choose no lines if given the option 🙏🏻
Will there be 18 different versions? So ordering would be by time zone? Great idea!
I think the open, unlined is easy to read.
It may be the novelty I’m drawn to without the lines, but it looks nice. I say go for it this year!
I love the planner but I also use the Kauai Hindu Monastery free downloadable panchanga based on my time zone. It downloads to my computer and phone. I then have the printed planner at home for reference. Also, I do like the lines.
I like the lines, looks well organized and neat
Hello, thanks for this planner. I really prefer the unlined format. And, It will be nice to choose the time zone I am. 😉
Greetings, Mr. Cole. I like your old format-which was lined.
In my opinion looks pretier unlined. 🙏
No lines
no lines 🙏❤️
That's amazing always put me off converting the time….
No lines… like the universe lol
Science of Light level 1 have been an amazing dive into Vedic Astrology. Studying with Freedom, is like drinking water from the source of the spring. The live classes and virtually endless prerecorded content is a generous offering and will satisfy any eager student. I appreciated the richness of the tradition and the innovative ways of which makes it as relevant as possible in our modern and culturally diverse world. Having the support of fellow students and the Facebook group, as well as awesome teacher assistants, was invaluable.
This course far exceeded my expectations. I’m still digesting the amount of knowledge that was offered. Absolutely phenomenal.🙏
Both level 1 and 2 are amazing courses. The reason why I chose this course is because the teachings are from a traditional lineage going back to the 1500 – and the main Guru of that lineage is Pandit Sanjay Rath (mind blowing astrologer). Freedom is amazing at teaching and makes sure you acquire the logic necessary as well as knowledge to understand a chart. The group meetings every week feel intimate, and are perfect for asking questions and get clarification. You will not regret taking this course and the impact on how you perceive the world will be forever changed in a beautiful way 😃
Science of Light has forever changed my life but moreover grown me as a person. The intimacy of the class and beginner-friendly, stepwise structure, sets Freedom’s course apart from the rest.
What attracted me originally to this course is that Freedomji has been my Jyotisha for over 6 years, his advice and predictions have always been correct. So when the time came for me to learn Jyotish, there was no question who was going to be my teacher. Freedomji has brilliantly transcribed the scriptures from this lineage-based tradition in his text book and then teaches you in a succinct, systematic way so it all comes together beautifully ensuring that you are ready and confident to read charts at the end of your first year. The weekly live classes, the recordings, the book – the entire course is brilliantly laid out for you to succeed. I am in amazement at how much I have learned and how this course has taken my Ayurvedic practice to a level that is beyond my wildest imagination. I am forever grateful to Freedomji for his Science of Light course and for sharing this lineage with us.
I have spent the last five+ years in astrology classes under many different teachers, and no course has transformed my astrology practice & general quality of life the way Science of Light has. The way Freedom breaks down information and fosters a supportive, welcoming environment makes complex, challenging topics very digestible, even for someone like me who typically has barriers to learning in online class settings.
I started this course after a very difficult life event and was unsure how I’d be able to keep up. Now, on the other side of year one, my life is so much happier & more balanced, I can’t imagine how I would have weathered that period without this resource. More importantly, in the short time since I’ve been able to share some of the remedies learned in this course, I’ve witnessed similar positivity and balance come into the lives of family members, friends, and clients. I anticipated this course being interesting and beneficial, but it far exceeded my expectations. I am so grateful it exists and cannot recommend it enough to anyone even slightly on the fence.
One of the most significant challenges facing any serious Jyotish student is the subject's sheer depth and breadth. A major strength in Freedom's Science of Light Courses lies in the structure, organization, and systematic approach applied to every lesson. Each lesson is carefully designed to illuminate fundamental principles of Parashara but also to systematically bridge those essential teachings seamlessly into more advanced areas. The benefit of this pragmatic approach is that far more relevant material is covered in a shorter period. Students with only a bit of Jyotish knowledge can move more quickly and cover more advanced topics as long as the student remains focused. To that end, the cohort approach combined with Freedom's natural enthusiasm and deep intimate knowledge of the subject naturally motivates students and helps them sustain the required focus. I highly recommend the course.
Science of Light courses are detailed, well structured and will provide you with a solid foundation in Jyotish, with enough references to satisfy the inquisitive students. I have a deep respect for Freedom as a teacher. He is very passionate in his teachings and he truly wants you to succeed. He will challenge you and help you along the way. In order to be successful, you'd need to dedicate enough time to study. It can be challenging for a working mother like me, but it is possible if you really want to do it. I enrolled in SOL not knowing that I will be forever transformed in the way I view this world. It was a wonderful journey and a beautiful blessing. Thank you Freedomji! 🙏
Couldn't recommend it more!!!! Sign up already 🌻🙏
Hello Admin, I have not received zoom link to join the class today. Please can you help, I have tried reaching out to your offive number but there is no answer. Thank you
The best!
Dear friends,
I am learning astrology since 2015. For the due interest, I have collected so many books from various publishers
and by various authors. I also used to go through many resources through online mode too. But none of the resources fulfilled my satisfaction since the matters were highly scattered hither and thither. So I was struggling to connect the dots. An year ago, I received a book named "Science of light". I astonished after reading the book since it was well structured. I am so much impressed by the way the book was written. Then I have decided to join the course and
completed an year successfully.
In this course, our guruji designed the step by step method for good understanding of the basics. He beautifully
lift us from one stage to another. All the previous years recordings are available which was highly helpful to build a
strong foundation and to develop our multidimensional thinking on a particular topic. Finally, the practical session on
reading the charts is a gem on the crown of this course which boosts our confident level to the next stage.
In this course we are not only learning the astrological content, but also the ethical aspects of an Astrologer too.
Also there is a Facebook group where we can share our ideas not only with our batchmates but also with our seniors who
help us through deep and healthy discussions.
I feel blessed to be a member of this Science of light family and I recommend this course for the people who wanted to quench their thirst of knowledge on Astrology. I assure that the students who join this course will gain the fruits
as I am.

This is a well made 3 minute documentary on the Hittite Luni-solar calendar, that looks the same as the ancient Vedic calendar.

Branka Larsen, my guru-sister, shared a beautiful story for the end of the year and beginning of 2021. I am re-sharing it below with a link to sign up for her weekly newsletter where she is regularly sharing her Jyotish wisdom:
"There is a story told by Shri Ramakrishna… about a woodcutter who went to the forest to chop a tree. As he got tired, he sat to rest under a tree. As he was lying there on the hard ground, he imagined to have something better to lay upon, and as that thought appeared, it happened, he was resting upon a comfortable bed. He was shocked, thinking about how did that bed come to be. Then he thought how beautiful it would be if there was some food there as well, and as he thought-it a royal feast surrounded him. And he helped himself and wondered what was happening, he thought and it happened. He wished for something to drink, and various drinks appeared, and he helped himself. Well-rested, he suddenly thought, and what if a tiger comes here, and it happened, a tiger appeared in front of him. He got so scared and fearful because what if a tiger ate him? And he was no more.
Shri Ramakrisha explained that what the man didn’t know was that he was taking his rest under a wish-fulfilling tree, where all wishes come true (also known as kalpa-vṛkṣa tree). And the great teacher goes on to explain that this wish-fulfilling tree is nothing but your mind.
From this came the three principles about thinking: 1. What you repeatedly think, you become (consciously or subconsciously). 2. What you repeatedly feel, you will experience and attract in your life. 3. What you imagine is what you will create.
Take hold of your mind, my friend, and let’s create a safe and promising life ahead."

Thank you for this, Freedomji. It answers some questions I’ve been pondering. In your experience, have you found that astrology can help with acceptance of a loss, after the family member has gone through a healthy grieving process? My close friend lost her young daughter to heart failure last year and recently asked me to look at her chart. How do you incorporate both relative truth and ultimate truth in your readings/counseling?
This is perhaps the best write up I have read in recent times..
When I was 8 years old .. lost 35 year old aunt for cancer !!
Have had close friends go through depression because of Miscarriage and loss of twin sibling with in a year..
Never could comprehend this topic of death.. It's a harder topic to digest !
Thank you for the post Freedomji !
That is illuminating, Freedomji! 🙏🏽
Nicely explained !

Narcissist, part time parent, manipulater and people pay for this consulting?
500 years ago, my paramparā guru Śri Āchyutānanda Dāsa taught that God is no one’s property and that the clothing you wear does not make you better than another. Śri Āchyutānanda was a famous Astrologer, Āyurvedic doctor and Yogi, and preached against discrimination by caste and religion.
The Bhagavad Gīta teaches that the same divinity lives in the heart of all beings (XVIII.61). The Ahirbudhnya Saṁhitā adds that the recognition that ‘all beings are the body of God’ leads to the conviction to be kind to all beings (ānukūlya-niścaya). From this awareness, non-violence (ahiṁsa) develops naturally. Without this vision, the doors to realization will remain closed.
The spiritual tradition of the Jyotiṣa lineage, in which I practice, has stood and continues to stand against discrimination, and to recognize that the whole world is one family (vasudhaiva kuṭumbakam). At this time, in the United States, that means we support Black Lives Matter. … See MoreSee Less

I haven’t released any world predictions around the corona virus, but other astrologers within my tradition have. I have posted links below for those who are curious.
My Opinion First
There is a lot of extreme news, from a global plague killing millions to a fake government cover up to install 5G and forced vaccinations. From my understanding, Covid-19 is a contagious flu that can progress much more quickly than other flus. Government lockdown measures have intended to spread out the time that people acquire Covid-19 to avoid overwhelming the healthcare system.
Most of the USA statistics are based on only testing the sick. In places like South Korea, the mortality rate was more similar to the flu. This corona virus seems to be more difficult on the lungs and in complex cases requires a ventilator. I don’t believe there will be millions dying, but I do believe it’s important that we apply measures to not overwhelm healthcare providers.
What you can do: Standard Āyurvedic life care and standard cold and flu remedies are recommended. Try using tulsi tea (or a drop of tulsi or oregano oil) in your neti pot instead of just plain salt water to prevent contracting the virus.
Astrology Predictions
I have heard some people say, “why didn’t the astrologers predict this?” The answer is there were a few who did, from India…but who is listening to them. Also, the Kashmiri panchanga (like a farmer’s almanac) considered this a year of disease and catastrophes.
On 31 Dec, 2019 China alerts WHO of several pneumonia cases. It was actually COVID-19 taking roots. Later Jan 7, 2020 France confirmed its first case, but by then Wuhan city had already been reelin…
The quotes this year are from Zoran Radosavljevic's book "Brush Up on the Vedic Astrology Basics". He was an incredible Serbian Jyotish practitioner who taught throughout Eastern Europe and Russia. After using herbs and mantra to stay well for many years with an incurable auto-immune disease, a final battle with cancer took him. I acknowledge him in Science of Light Volume 2, and honor him this year with his (not first language English) quotes.

We can have study dinners…
I just graduated this course last year and it has given me such a solid foundation in Jyotish. I'm currently doing readings each week and feel solid in freedom's teachings and transmission. The Vedic community within science of light is also super supportive. Def recommend !
Are the recordings live?
this course is super thorough and captivating! you can enroll as a beginner to astrology or have a background in jyotish already. eitherway, you will walk away with a deeper appreciation and understanding in how to assess the karmic patterns manifested in a birth chart.
freedom cole has studied vedic astrology for many years under his guru sanjay rath (an esteemed indian astrologer tracing his lineage back to acyutananda). his 'science of light course' is authentic in its teachings and very engaging and interactive for the student.
each week, i came to class eager to learn more on the fundamental principles in jyotish. in fact, i have seen several practicing vedic astrologers take this course (some with 20 years of experience under their belt!) and be humbled by what they thought they knew about jyotish.
constructive feedback is continually provided to ensure students are grasping & applying concepts properly. this course has enabled me to see myself and others more clearly. moreover, it has pushed me to further develop my sense of unconditional, positive regard, which is necessary when reading birth charts. i am very grateful to have found this course and will certainly do my part in sharing my experiences of it.
prospective students, please feel free to private message me with any questions you have regarding the course!
For those interested in learning more about Trauma in Āyurveda, I will be lecturing on the topic more deeply with the Colorado Ayurveda Medical Association this October 11-12, 2019. The conference is being put together by a great group of people and worth making it there for their inaugural event!
Trauma in Āyurveda Āyurveda teaches that prajñāparādha is the root cause of physical and mental disease, yet it rarely gets the attention it deserves. Modern scientific research has begun to show the important relationship of trauma to physical and mental disease. We take a fresh look at Charaka Saṁhitā’s characteristics of prajñāparādha in light of modern trauma research to see their relationship and to better understand the failure of prajñā and how we can effectively evaluate it and make appropriate recommendations. … See MoreSee Less

How exciting!
Thank you for sharing
I studied Jyotish intensely for a month during the 2 year course in Maharishi Ayurveda at MUM in 2000. We were taught to figure out charts by hand from scratch, no computers 😉
I would love to continue diving deeper into Parashara’s knowledge of all times. I live in California,so it would require planning a trip.
Cultural appropriation has become a big topic lately. I used this time at the compass (LIB 2019) to discuss my thoughts on the subject and how those using the Hindu gods and goddesses can avoid appropriation. This discussion will also bring a lot of insight into how gods and goddesses are prescribed in the Indian traditions.
Cultural appropriation has existed since the dawn of time. What I usually find is that the supposed victim of the appropriation, really doesn't care. Or else, I would have to change my wardrobe.
Kālī, Durgā, Lakṣmī: Connecting without Appropriation Hindu gods and goddesses are becoming more present in the West. How does one traditionally determine to approach a particular goddess? Why does one work with one goddess over another? How can we connect with them authentically and avoid cultural appropriation? This talk aims to open doorways to understand Kālī, Durgā and Lakṣmī, and to find ways to invite them into our lives for greater physical and mental well-being.
Yoga of the Moon Phases Time stretches and contracts in systematic ways. It grows light and dark, stable and crazy, sociable and alienated. The dance of the Sun and Moon creates lunar phases that alter our mind and the reality around us. We will discuss the 30 phases of the Moon used by the ancient Babylonians, Greeks and Hindus. We will explore how they can make our life more successful and our rituals more powerful. … See MoreSee Less

Knowledge from freedom cole pt sanjay rath is like soma from deva.
After the likes of Freedom Cole Visti Larsen and Pandit Sanjay Rath you cannot listen to too many others talk about Astrology
This lineage stands supreme in its authenticity and command over the basics
I wandered for 10 years before stumbling gratefully into this lineage
I can't wait to get started!!
this course is fantastically thorough and captivating! you can enroll as a beginner to astrology or have a background in jyotish already. eitherway, you walk away with a deeper appreciation and understanding in how to assess the karmic patterns manifested in a birth chart. freedom cole has studied vedic astrology for many years under his guru sanjay rath (an esteemed indian astrologer tracing his lineage back to acyutananda). this 'science of light course' is authentic in its teachings and, to top it off, totally engaging. each week, i came to class chomping at the bit to learn more! constructive feedback is provided to ensure students are grasping & applying concepts properly. i honestly can’t say enough goodness about this course. it has changed my life for the better in so many ways. two shining examples of this are: 1) that it has enabled me to see myself and others more clearly, and 2) it has pushed me to further develop my sense of unconditional, positive regard. i am very grateful to have literally stumbled across this course and will certainly do my part in sharing my experiences of it. please feel free to message me with any questions you may have regarding the course ❤️
I am happy to be on a panel at the National Ayurvedic Medicine Association’s conference discussing qualitative research in Ayurveda and mental health this year.
Here is my write up: My in-progress clinical research on prajñāparādha and mental illness compares people with a yoga practice of more than ten years to those with a trauma history level indicated to heighten the risk of mental and physical disease. I will describe the benefits of qualitative phenomenological research. Then I will discuss how it allows us to collect data on the benefits of Yoga and Āyurveda without limiting a holistic application.
1) Christine Peterson: defining brain-gut axis and the therapeutic modulation of the gut microbiome.
2) Namyata Pathak: documenting research outcome measures, clinical mechanisms, tools, and educative documentation in reference to diabetes or PD.
3) Vivek Shanbhag: Double blind, controlled, cross-over clinical trial of 280 patients suffering from chronic Acne. Looking at the role of mind on acne, the effect of acne on mind, and mind-body methods for modulating ranjaka and bhrajaka pitta.
4) Freedom Cole: Comparison of quantitative and qualitative research with relation to Ayurveda. Discussing the embodied phenomenology he is using for his research. He will discuss ACE scores (adverse childhood experience) and their potential relationship to prajnaparadha. His presentation will conclude by discussing phenomenological observation of prajnaparadha between those with trauma histories and those without.
The panel will be moderated by Rammohan Rao.
Tried reaching you through mail. Is there a number where I can drop a message for a reading as I am visiting California for a very short time.
Consistently, Jonardon Ganeri is one of my favorite modern philosophers/authors:
"Knowledge should indeed be thought of as a tree – just not this kind of tree. Rather than the European fruiter with its single trunk, knowledge should be pictured as a banyan tree, in which a multiplicity of aerial roots sustains a centreless organic system."
"An epistemic pluralist claims that just as a banyan tree has many different but equally valuable roots, so there are many different but equally valuable ways of interrogating reality."
A recent Plant Cunning podcast aimed to talk about Ayurveda and Jyotish.

Its not too late to Join this batch of PJC
vimeo.com/807190056
What a loss for those who cannot take this once in a lifetime oportunity! 🪷🥹
I see people complaining about prices and I wonder if they live in another world than us. Everything they offer in this lineage is far from being expensive, it is the cheapest price possible for such rare knowledge in esoteric sciences. Everyone needs money including the teachers and astrologers because we do not live in Himalayas or village ashrams anymore. If it was so, then I would try my chance by offering “SOME” donation or seva. Instead, if you are really that much spiritual, for example you can find yourself a sadhu in Vrindavan for free but he will probably not even teach you astrology. Because the first thing you will learn in spiritual life is that astrology is simply about SUBTLE MATERIAL ENERGIES and SPIRIT has nothing to do with it because it is manifested from a different shakti than God’s external material manifestation energy. Freedom or Sanjay Rath, they are not sadhus, they are scholars and all the time they clearly show the world that their intention is not business because indeed these prices are a lot lower than they deserve. I personally cannot afford it, and that’s completely my problem.
Hi Freedom. When we register for the PJC, do we immediately have access to the recordings? Or must we wait the beginning of the session in January? Thank you.
Wow, what a blessing Freedom Cole 🙏
I’m in the 3rd year in another batch and JSP also and I can tell that this is the best thing happened with me in my life so far. Those who are planning to join, be prepared that this knowledge is vast, sacred and full of wonders ✨ Make as much notes as you can, the most will remain with you.
Om Gurave Namah
Guruji, the website states that optional contact classes are to be held in India/Himalayas, annually. If this batch is intended for North American audiences, is there any chance of having CCs a bit closer to home? I'm hoping that it's an anomaly, but with recent changes in gas prices, etc. airfare to India has increased drastically since the onset of the 2020 pandemic.
On the website, it states that we will have our first live session on Sunday the 1st of January. Is that possible? ;-O
sir any cut-off date for registration of PJC
When are the enrolments beginning for PJC 2023? I have been waiting for this.
Guruji, I am trying to find more information about this program on the website, but most of the links say that the "content is for members only". Not sure if I am doing anything wrong.
In any case, may I know what are the pre-requisites for the course, and if this program takes in new students every year? Thank you!
Namaste , i read on your website that this batch course PjC leaded by you is for those people who attended your courses or have at least same preparation in fondamentals of vedic astrology. Can u please be more specific about this seeing that anyone can pay the fees and join as i saw on PJC website? Is there any possibility to pay with paypal account eventually?
I hope you don't mind me asking as this may be more personal, but below in an answer to a question you wrote: " But I have to mentor this one time through." Could you tell us more about this? What does offering this course mean to you? You already have your own school and program. What makes this opportunity exciting or interesting for you as a teacher? I reckon you will have the chance to go further in the knowledge transmission with students than in your own program. I am very curious. For myself, I have been waiting for the opportune time to begin my studies with you and was contemplating between PJC and SOL. I felt a certain conflict. I finally said to myself: let's start with the SOL, cause I profoundly appreciate what Freedom brings. It's sharp and clear. And now, this merger happens! Which seems to be the very best of both worlds. Very inspiring opportunity. 🙂 Thank you ! Blessings.
It's not expensive, it's our darkness to judge the course lower than MBBS or any other higher degree for mundane knowledge now think and judge
🙂 On the site it states the following: *** The highlight of this year is the initiation into the sacred mantra of Maharṣi Parāśara. Those who have attended the contact course have benefited by the initiation. Others can consider seeking a private audience for the initiation with the Jyotiṣa Guru. *** Is this still possible? How will it work? To receive initiation into this sacred mantra makes a World of difference in the study of Jyotish.
hi freedom for indians will there be another payment method ,its charging too high with conversion
Namaskar Freedomji. I seek to be enrolled in this course. But I have two questions regarding payment procedures; First is that the the official fees for Indian students is showing to be Ninetyfive Thousand Rupees; whereas in the Coinbase platform, it is showing Eightyone Thousand Rupees. Why is there this significant difference? And Secondly, I want to know which crypto currency shall I choose? There are multiple coins like Bitcoin, Etherium, Litecoin, Tether etc. etc. Is any one of them better than the rest?? If so, then which one?? Or are all of them fundamentally similar in their usability? Which one of them is preferable?
Namaste, Is this a big group??
I like the way yiu have structured this🙏😩😩
I have studied up to PJC2
Hi again. The Live class is on Sunday at 11am EST. Is this a fixed time, or is there a possibility that it changes. Just to be 100% sure. Thank you.
If I understand correctly, you and Dr Eric will be the mentors for the entire 5 year program, correct? If we have the opportunity to visit India on a yearly basis, both of you should, God willing, also be there. Correct?
great!!
Positive karma doesn’t lead to rebirth. Where does it go then? (From the karma audio)
Can we still.join this Freedom Cole ?
In the past. If I’m not mistaken. PJC was recorded lectures.
Has anything changed.
What will u Freedom offer exactly. How does all of this work.
🙏🏽
Hi sir, this is a gentle reminder of my a question that may have slipped through the crack. I would greatly appreciate getting clarity about this. Thank you. ////// On the site it states the following: *** The highlight of this year is the initiation into the sacred mantra of Maharṣi Parāśara. Those who have attended the contact course have benefited by the initiation. Others can consider seeking a private audience for the initiation with the Jyotiṣa Guru. *** Is this still possible? How will it work? To receive initiation into this sacred mantra makes a world of difference in the study of Jyotish.
This course is for rich people.

Restoring Mental Health with Vedic Astrology: An Ancient Understanding of the Root of Mental Distress
Freedom will discuss the factors that create mental resilience from a traditional Vedic perspective, explain how they are seen astrologically, and explore how these concepts can be translated into modern psychological terminology. Then he will explore some common mental health issues through this lens of astrology and share how he utilizes this to recommend different types of modern psychology approaches to be most supportive to returning the heart and mind to balance.

As astral magic returns to a place of respect, the limited sources for reconstruction open many questions. How do the planetary gods relate to the various pantheons among other cultures and how can we apply the principles of astral magic to working with them? The Greeks had a system of syncretism called Interpretatio Graeca, which was carried forward by the Romans who correlated the gods of other cultures with their own. Freedom will discuss how this has been done during the last two millennium in the Vedic tradition, where deities from various pantheons are regularly incorporated into planetary remedial practices to heal disease and improve the quality of life.
Freedom will discuss textual references of astrological syncretism in Vedic, Vaiṣṇava, Śaiva, and Tāntrik pantheons. He will share how this is utilized within living astrological traditions as not just a one-to-one direct correlation, but a complex pluralism that respects the nature of the pantheons while using them for astrological magic. Freedom will share some personal experiences from his practice and give some suggestions for future works integrating deities of other cultures.
Freedom Cole is known for his ability to translate ancient Vedic principles into practical application. He has spent more than two decades studying within a living Indian Jyotiṣa tradition and is recognized as a senior teacher (Jaimini Scholar and Jyotiṣa Paṇḍita). He is a practitioner of Āyurveda (AP), Yoga therapy (C-IAYT) and has an MA in Clinical Psychology. Freedom is the author of two books and numerous articles. He is faculty in the Āyurveda and mental health modules of the Kripalu Yoga Therapy program and has an international Jyotiṣa school (Science of Light) where he is dedicated to empowering practitioners.
good to see you☺️🙏🏼Sounds great!
All the best 👍👍👍
🙏🏻🌙🙏🏻 I’m sure you will blow their minds away …

I couldn’t have said it better.What becomes evident and reiterated for a student on any Vedic path – such as a Yoga, Ayurveda, Jyotish, or Vastu, for example – is when we truly touch a tradition. We don’t just know that the study, information, or teacher is offering something with Indian or Vedic roots. We inherently know and FEEL the geographical, regional, and cultural ties. We feel the living lineage. We know the living lineage. There is a clear tradition-al approach to the path that gives one an experience of a type of apprenticeship. And the practice offers a feeling of wholeness, completion, where the teachings being offered and studied have a rich, insightful depth that very distinctly moves us from the valuable external purifying and stabilizing practices to a tangible and accessible internal pathway. There is no sense of lacking or needing to find more. There is a sense of Shraddha, of trust and faith in the complete system offered. There is an inherent knowing, beyond the thinking rationalizing mind, that we are touching the nectar. It leaves us curious and hungry for more of the ambrosia. Yet simultaneously we are humbled and satisfied with the slow unfolding of studentship. We want to tell the world (so no one misses the beauty!), whilst also wanting to keep the wisdom path as a precious secret, close to the heart.
I’ve very gratefully touched these qualities over the years specifically studying Odissi. And have very recently fallen onto a path to pursue study of Vedic mantra (after years of sensing it coming, but not having known nor felt the right path ahead).
Notably, after years of feeling an indescribable connection to learn @shadow_yoga – but not having access to a teacher locally – it has been a truly enriching blessing to finally be able to direct some time to learning under the generous, articulate, and insightful Rebecca Barlow, of @apsarayogashala, here in Canberra. So far, Shadow Yoga feels like a thread that connects and weaves Yoga and Odissi together like a beautiful tapestry.
May you too have the great fortune of finding the nectar on your path. The secrets are waiting to be discovered by those with a heartfelt yearning for the limitless depths!

This course is based on a proven foundational structure from an established and ancient tradition, which lasts 6 weeks and is intended to help a newcomer ease into the science. Any beginners to Vedic Astrology are welcome and encouraged to participate.
By the end of this course, past students have been able to cast a simple Vedic Horoscope, and have a high-level understanding of how celestial mechanics work, and how they are used in prognostication. Graduates from this program emerge with a solid foundation which they can use to further their study.
In this class, you will learn a concise overview, consisting of the following topics:
Week One: History, Context, Karma, and the Grahas (planets)
Week Two: Zodiac of the Sky, Signs and Houses
Week Three: Evaluating Planetary Strengths
Week Four: The Nakshatras (Lunar Constellations)
Week Five: Divisional Charts
Week Six: Timing of Events
This course consists of a combination of pre-recorded and live sessions with me. Live webinars are kept small and intimate to ensure that participants have a chance to interact and learn. During these, we will look at charts together, read them together, and there will be some optional reading and homework. As classes are kept small, there are limited slots available.
I first heard about Jyotish from my Ayurveda practitioner. I stumbled on to the Science of Light website a few months ago and felt very pulled toward it. I noticed that an intro course was being offered by Joey Bujold, and it just felt right. The course was very in depth for it being an introductory course. All of the information presented was done in a great structure and pace. It motivated me to continue on and also sign up for the level 1 SOL course. It's a fantastic starting point to an unbelievable journey.
this 6-week course is a wonderful stepping stone into the world of jyotish! it provides the basics that allow for one to dip their toes into the vast waters that is vedic astrology.
Joey Bujold, Vedic Astrologer is a joy as a teacher. i'm always impressed by his approach with students. he is kind, open-minded, receptive and his insights to students are always rooted in a firm understanding of the principles of jyotish. joey meets the students wherever they are at in their jyotish journeys.
to learn more about the teacher of this 6-week course, check here:
www.joeybujold.com/?fbclid=IwAR2oFcakB5Q3bir-lmX9_PQ8FNjC7HEbDLWq2lN-hAQzDufI-2g228N_iyc
for those interested, this course starts next sunday, june 12th ✨
The only thing better than taking this valuable Intro class is taking it with Joey! He truly brings heart to such a heady subject, and is genuinely invested in our learning. I still use him as a resource 💖🙏🏽
For people who want to learn more about their chart, this is the best way to really learn more about your chart and the ancient system of Indian astrology.
Please do not follow blindly!
Hello, Please read all
You know that the Bible severely condemns any practice of spiritualism, clairvoyance, occult sciences, cards, tarots, horoscopes, etc. (Leviticus 20.27, Deuteronomy 18.10-13).
I'm not trying to offend you, you should know that satan and his demons give mediums information about a person in order to hook him into spiritualism, which God forbids. In most cases, the mediums themselves are deceived and do not know what is the true source of the information they receive, they think they have a special gift from the angels of light. But Satan disguises himself as an angel of light to deceive people and turn you away from God. Don't be fooled wake up.
In (2 Corinthians 11:14-15). The Bible gives us no reason to believe that we can contact our deceased loved ones. In Matthew 23:32 <I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not a God of the dead, but of the living. >
Satan knows the secrets of humans, he has the experience and knowledge of humans since creation at our expense and plays with us to steal souls because he is at war with God. Satan hates God's creation. Satan roaring, looking for someone to devour. (1 Peter 5.8) Watch how the world is flooded with hatred by the power of Evil.
God by his free will that he offers us is to follow him or not. Jesus who said of himself: "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." jeans 14.6 Toi be saved by the salvation of our soul to avoid hell. John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that in him he might not perish, but have
everlasting life." Ask Jesus for forgiveness to be saved.

This weekend is the National Ayurvedic Medical Association Conference, and it will be available live online.
I will be moderating the Allied Science panel at 10:30AM on Saturday. It will have one Yoga Therapist (Nishita Shah), one Vastu Shastri (Michael Mastro), and one Jyotishi (Dr. Suhas Kshirsagar), and I plan to weave them together for the Ayurvedic practitioner to have an idea of why and when we need each of them.
Then I will be a panelist in the Advanced Track on the Ojas Panel at 3:30pm that Saturday. There will be a doctor (Aparna Bapat) discussing ojas at the physical level, a psychologist (Sujatha Reddy) discussing ojas at the mental level, and I will discuss ojas on the spiritual (karana) level. This will be moderated by doctor of Ayurveda Dinesh Gyawali.
If you have been studying Ayurveda or getting ready to, the NAMA conference is a great place to hear the modern voices of Ayurveda and learn where you to go next or expand what you presently understand.No plans next Saturday? Register for our VIRTUAL OPTION today and get access to seven valuable sessions (including all three featured speakers!) to stream live or watch within the two-week viewing period.

How much is it ?
hear! hear!
New Formatting for the Vedic Planner! deva.guru has been working hard to reformat the Vedic planner so we can easily have 18 different time zones available this 2022 (final pdf to come, please don’t print this opinion version). An arising question: should we have lines within the boxes for the day, or is it better to leave them unlined. We would love to hear the opinion of those who use the planner-have a look and tell us what you think: drive.google.com/file/d/169A9gEBG3i7i4slnbgFMScGeCi0-3a2g/view?usp=sharing

It may look simple, but it is such a huge amount of work and an accomplishment to have automated the calendar this year. There may be some mistakes in holiday calculation for different time zones that we may still need to work out (that we haven't found yet), but for all time zones to be available with the computer's accuracy, not a human's mistakes is just so wonderful. This gives us so much to build on for the future of the planner. We still have a few checks to run, and edits/updates to the website, but the present 18 versions are available at www.vedicplanner.com/
Let us know if you see any problems… and Don't print them till after Makara Sankranti when we do the official announcement, and we are sure that what is on the site is what you want to print. But for those who are bubbling with excitement, have a look at the new format.
so far i only use the digital version, and i like the lines. they provide clarity, delineation. i can imagine tho, if i were to use the print version, i would prefer no lines, to allow for the randomness of my note taking. .02
i'm torn because i am used to the lines and feel like they keep me in check in being orderly & neat with my planner.
…though sometimes i feel limited by them, too. ahhh! i'm not sure but wanted to add my 2 cents for now 🙃
I can't say I used the lines to a fault, but I like having options and think the aesthetic with lines is more fitting for an organizational tool.
Thanking you so much for your sincere efforts to compile and arrange it. 🙏
Thankyou for all your efforts to bless us with this sacred tool, may Mahadev always bless you and your family. For me, no lines is needed. 🙏🏼✨✨✨
I like to print it. I would choose no lines if given the option 🙏🏻
Will there be 18 different versions? So ordering would be by time zone? Great idea!
I think the open, unlined is easy to read.
It may be the novelty I’m drawn to without the lines, but it looks nice. I say go for it this year!
I love the planner but I also use the Kauai Hindu Monastery free downloadable panchanga based on my time zone. It downloads to my computer and phone. I then have the printed planner at home for reference. Also, I do like the lines.
I like the lines, looks well organized and neat
Hello, thanks for this planner. I really prefer the unlined format. And, It will be nice to choose the time zone I am. 😉
Greetings, Mr. Cole. I like your old format-which was lined.
In my opinion looks pretier unlined. 🙏
No lines
no lines 🙏❤️
That's amazing always put me off converting the time….
No lines… like the universe lol

Science of Light level 1 have been an amazing dive into Vedic Astrology. Studying with Freedom, is like drinking water from the source of the spring. The live classes and virtually endless prerecorded content is a generous offering and will satisfy any eager student. I appreciated the richness of the tradition and the innovative ways of which makes it as relevant as possible in our modern and culturally diverse world. Having the support of fellow students and the Facebook group, as well as awesome teacher assistants, was invaluable.
This course far exceeded my expectations. I’m still digesting the amount of knowledge that was offered. Absolutely phenomenal.🙏
Both level 1 and 2 are amazing courses. The reason why I chose this course is because the teachings are from a traditional lineage going back to the 1500 – and the main Guru of that lineage is Pandit Sanjay Rath (mind blowing astrologer). Freedom is amazing at teaching and makes sure you acquire the logic necessary as well as knowledge to understand a chart. The group meetings every week feel intimate, and are perfect for asking questions and get clarification. You will not regret taking this course and the impact on how you perceive the world will be forever changed in a beautiful way 😃
Science of Light has forever changed my life but moreover grown me as a person. The intimacy of the class and beginner-friendly, stepwise structure, sets Freedom’s course apart from the rest.
What attracted me originally to this course is that Freedomji has been my Jyotisha for over 6 years, his advice and predictions have always been correct. So when the time came for me to learn Jyotish, there was no question who was going to be my teacher. Freedomji has brilliantly transcribed the scriptures from this lineage-based tradition in his text book and then teaches you in a succinct, systematic way so it all comes together beautifully ensuring that you are ready and confident to read charts at the end of your first year. The weekly live classes, the recordings, the book – the entire course is brilliantly laid out for you to succeed. I am in amazement at how much I have learned and how this course has taken my Ayurvedic practice to a level that is beyond my wildest imagination. I am forever grateful to Freedomji for his Science of Light course and for sharing this lineage with us.
I have spent the last five+ years in astrology classes under many different teachers, and no course has transformed my astrology practice & general quality of life the way Science of Light has. The way Freedom breaks down information and fosters a supportive, welcoming environment makes complex, challenging topics very digestible, even for someone like me who typically has barriers to learning in online class settings.
I started this course after a very difficult life event and was unsure how I’d be able to keep up. Now, on the other side of year one, my life is so much happier & more balanced, I can’t imagine how I would have weathered that period without this resource. More importantly, in the short time since I’ve been able to share some of the remedies learned in this course, I’ve witnessed similar positivity and balance come into the lives of family members, friends, and clients. I anticipated this course being interesting and beneficial, but it far exceeded my expectations. I am so grateful it exists and cannot recommend it enough to anyone even slightly on the fence.
One of the most significant challenges facing any serious Jyotish student is the subject's sheer depth and breadth. A major strength in Freedom's Science of Light Courses lies in the structure, organization, and systematic approach applied to every lesson. Each lesson is carefully designed to illuminate fundamental principles of Parashara but also to systematically bridge those essential teachings seamlessly into more advanced areas. The benefit of this pragmatic approach is that far more relevant material is covered in a shorter period. Students with only a bit of Jyotish knowledge can move more quickly and cover more advanced topics as long as the student remains focused. To that end, the cohort approach combined with Freedom's natural enthusiasm and deep intimate knowledge of the subject naturally motivates students and helps them sustain the required focus. I highly recommend the course.
Science of Light courses are detailed, well structured and will provide you with a solid foundation in Jyotish, with enough references to satisfy the inquisitive students. I have a deep respect for Freedom as a teacher. He is very passionate in his teachings and he truly wants you to succeed. He will challenge you and help you along the way. In order to be successful, you'd need to dedicate enough time to study. It can be challenging for a working mother like me, but it is possible if you really want to do it. I enrolled in SOL not knowing that I will be forever transformed in the way I view this world. It was a wonderful journey and a beautiful blessing. Thank you Freedomji! 🙏
Couldn't recommend it more!!!! Sign up already 🌻🙏
Hello Admin, I have not received zoom link to join the class today. Please can you help, I have tried reaching out to your offive number but there is no answer. Thank you
The best!
Dear friends,
I am learning astrology since 2015. For the due interest, I have collected so many books from various publishers
and by various authors. I also used to go through many resources through online mode too. But none of the resources fulfilled my satisfaction since the matters were highly scattered hither and thither. So I was struggling to connect the dots. An year ago, I received a book named "Science of light". I astonished after reading the book since it was well structured. I am so much impressed by the way the book was written. Then I have decided to join the course and
completed an year successfully.
In this course, our guruji designed the step by step method for good understanding of the basics. He beautifully
lift us from one stage to another. All the previous years recordings are available which was highly helpful to build a
strong foundation and to develop our multidimensional thinking on a particular topic. Finally, the practical session on
reading the charts is a gem on the crown of this course which boosts our confident level to the next stage.
In this course we are not only learning the astrological content, but also the ethical aspects of an Astrologer too.
Also there is a Facebook group where we can share our ideas not only with our batchmates but also with our seniors who
help us through deep and healthy discussions.
I feel blessed to be a member of this Science of light family and I recommend this course for the people who wanted to quench their thirst of knowledge on Astrology. I assure that the students who join this course will gain the fruits
as I am.

Gerald MacKenzie Castro you'll like this!
This is a well made 3 minute documentary on the Hittite Luni-solar calendar, that looks the same as the ancient Vedic calendar. The 30 days could relate to solar days or tithi, as the solar day was named based upon the tithi. The five extra gods mentioned relate to the ancient five year yuga cycle (not much used now). A place like this temple would have kept a proper calendar and made each day, month and year a sacred being that could be worshiped.

How do we get it on iPhone?
Freedom Cole at Science Of Light That cleared up a lot of questions. I use Shri Jyoti Star but the capabilities of Jagannath Hora is more advanced in deeper calculations. Using True Lahri on both the Dashas calculations are a little different.
Awesome software!!!!!
Simple!
Thanks for sharing 🙏
Wonderful! One thing., could you explain..What does this mean? "Note that every software uses slightly different longitudes for location, so you might need to adjust the time a bit so the lagna degrees match" 🙏sorry for my ignorance here.
Congratulations Freedom! Looks fantastic 👍🏼🙏🏼

🕉 According to the calculations in your planner, ekādaśī concluded at 1700 today. While parana is after sunrise (after the conclusion of ¼ of the tithi but before it ends) would the absentention from sleep also continue until sunrise? (or only from 1640 yesterday to 1700 today). Thank you 🕉

Branka Larsen, my guru-sister, shared a beautiful story for the end of the year and beginning of 2021. I am re-sharing it below with a link to sign up for her weekly newsletter where she is regularly sharing her Jyotish wisdom:
"There is a story told by Shri Ramakrishna… about a woodcutter who went to the forest to chop a tree. As he got tired, he sat to rest under a tree. As he was lying there on the hard ground, he imagined to have something better to lay upon, and as that thought appeared, it happened, he was resting upon a comfortable bed. He was shocked, thinking about how did that bed come to be. Then he thought how beautiful it would be if there was some food there as well, and as he thought-it a royal feast surrounded him. And he helped himself and wondered what was happening, he thought and it happened. He wished for something to drink, and various drinks appeared, and he helped himself. Well-rested, he suddenly thought, and what if a tiger comes here, and it happened, a tiger appeared in front of him. He got so scared and fearful because what if a tiger ate him? And he was no more.
Shri Ramakrisha explained that what the man didn’t know was that he was taking his rest under a wish-fulfilling tree, where all wishes come true (also known as kalpa-vṛkṣa tree). And the great teacher goes on to explain that this wish-fulfilling tree is nothing but your mind.
From this came the three principles about thinking:
1. What you repeatedly think, you become (consciously or subconsciously).

Thank you for this, Freedomji. It answers some questions I’ve been pondering. In your experience, have you found that astrology can help with acceptance of a loss, after the family member has gone through a healthy grieving process? My close friend lost her young daughter to heart failure last year and recently asked me to look at her chart. How do you incorporate both relative truth and ultimate truth in your readings/counseling?
This is perhaps the best write up I have read in recent times..
When I was 8 years old .. lost 35 year old aunt for cancer !!
Have had close friends go through depression because of Miscarriage and loss of twin sibling with in a year..
Never could comprehend this topic of death.. It's a harder topic to digest !
Thank you for the post Freedomji !
That is illuminating, Freedomji! 🙏🏽
Nicely explained !

500 years ago, my paramparā guru Śri Āchyutānanda Dāsa taught that God is no one’s property and that the clothing you wear does not make you better than another. Śri Āchyutānanda was a famous Astrologer, Āyurvedic doctor and Yogi, and preached against discrimination by caste and religion.
The Bhagavad Gīta teaches that the same divinity lives in the heart of all beings (XVIII.61). The Ahirbudhnya Saṁhitā adds that the recognition that ‘all beings are the body of God’ leads to the conviction to be kind to all beings (ānukūlya-niścaya). From this awareness, non-violence (ahiṁsa) develops naturally. Without this vision, the doors to realization will remain closed.
The spiritual tradition of the Jyotiṣa lineage, in which I practice, has stood and continues to stand against discrimination, and to recognize that the whole world is one family (vasudhaiva kuṭumbakam). At this time, in the United States, that means we support Black Lives Matter.

I haven’t released any world predictions around the corona virus, but other astrologers within my tradition have. I have posted links below for those who are curious.
My Opinion First
There is a lot of extreme news, from a global plague killing millions to a fake government cover up to install 5G and forced vaccinations. From my understanding, Covid-19 is a contagious flu that can progress much more quickly than other flus. Government lockdown measures have intended to spread out the time that people acquire Covid-19 to avoid overwhelming the healthcare system.
I think the USA has handled the outbreak in a draconic fashion compared to places like South Korea: www.scmp.com/week-asia/health-environment/article/3075164/south-koreas-coronavirus-response-oppos…
We are in a terribly mismanaged event:
www.aier.org/article/we-were-wrong-so-sorry-that-we-ruined-your-life/
Most of the USA statistics are based on only testing the sick. In places like South Korea, the mortality rate was more similar to the flu. This corona virus seems to be more difficult on the lungs and in complex cases requires a ventilator. I don’t believe there will be millions dying, but I do believe it’s important that we apply measures to not overwhelm healthcare providers.
What you can do: Standard Āyurvedic life care and standard cold and flu remedies are recommended. Try using tulsi tea (or a drop of tulsi or oregano oil) in your neti pot instead of just plain salt water to prevent contracting the virus.
Astrology Predictions
I have heard some people say, “why didn’t the astrologers predict this?” The answer is there were a few who did, from India…but who is listening to them. Also, the Kashmiri panchanga (like a farmer’s almanac) considered this a year of disease and catastrophes.
Here is a discussion of what is causing the pandemic by Paramguru Sanjay Rath:

The quotes this year are from Zoran Radosavljevic's book "Brush Up on the Vedic Astrology Basics". He was an incredible Serbian Jyotish practitioner who taught throughout Eastern Europe and Russia. After using herbs and mantra to stay well for many years with an incurable auto-immune disease, a final battle with cancer took him. I acknowledge him in Science of Light Volume 2, and honor him this year with his (not first language English) quotes.

We can have study dinners…
I just graduated this course last year and it has given me such a solid foundation in Jyotish. I'm currently doing readings each week and feel solid in freedom's teachings and transmission. The Vedic community within science of light is also super supportive. Def recommend !
Are the recordings live?
this course is super thorough and captivating! you can enroll as a beginner to astrology or have a background in jyotish already. eitherway, you will walk away with a deeper appreciation and understanding in how to assess the karmic patterns manifested in a birth chart.
freedom cole has studied vedic astrology for many years under his guru sanjay rath (an esteemed indian astrologer tracing his lineage back to acyutananda). his 'science of light course' is authentic in its teachings and very engaging and interactive for the student.
each week, i came to class eager to learn more on the fundamental principles in jyotish. in fact, i have seen several practicing vedic astrologers take this course (some with 20 years of experience under their belt!) and be humbled by what they thought they knew about jyotish.
constructive feedback is continually provided to ensure students are grasping & applying concepts properly. this course has enabled me to see myself and others more clearly. moreover, it has pushed me to further develop my sense of unconditional, positive regard, which is necessary when reading birth charts. i am very grateful to have found this course and will certainly do my part in sharing my experiences of it.
prospective students, please feel free to private message me with any questions you have regarding the course!
OM
Namaste 🙏

For those interested in learning more about Trauma in Āyurveda, I will be lecturing on the topic more deeply with the Colorado Ayurveda Medical Association this October 11-12, 2019. The conference is being put together by a great group of people and worth making it there for their inaugural event!
www.coloradoayurveda.org/conference.html
Trauma in Āyurveda
Āyurveda teaches that prajñāparādha is the root cause of physical and mental disease, yet it rarely gets the attention it deserves. Modern scientific research has begun to show the important relationship of trauma to physical and mental disease. We take a fresh look at Charaka Saṁhitā’s characteristics of prajñāparādha in light of modern trauma research to see their relationship and to better understand the failure of prajñā and how we can effectively evaluate it and make appropriate recommendations.

How i can enrol?
How exciting!
Thank you for sharing
I studied Jyotish intensely for a month during the 2 year course in Maharishi Ayurveda at MUM in 2000. We were taught to figure out charts by hand from scratch, no computers 😉
I would love to continue diving deeper into Parashara’s knowledge of all times. I live in California,so it would require planning a trip.
Is the conference free of charge?
Just wondering what topics will you cover?
Cultural appropriation has become a big topic lately. I used this time at the compass (LIB 2019) to discuss my thoughts on the subject and how those using the Hindu gods and goddesses can avoid appropriation. This discussion will also bring a lot of insight into how gods and goddesses are prescribed in the Indian traditions.

Cultural appropriation has existed since the dawn of time. What I usually find is that the supposed victim of the appropriation, really doesn't care. Or else, I would have to change my wardrobe.
I will be giving two presentations at LIB this year:
Kālī, Durgā, Lakṣmī: Connecting without Appropriation
and Yoga of the Moon Phases
lightninginabottle.org/lineup/#/lineup_groupings/learning-culture
Kālī, Durgā, Lakṣmī: Connecting without Appropriation
Hindu gods and goddesses are becoming more present in the West. How does one traditionally determine to approach a particular goddess? Why does one work with one goddess over another? How can we connect with them authentically and avoid cultural appropriation? This talk aims to open doorways to understand Kālī, Durgā and Lakṣmī, and to find ways to invite them into our lives for greater physical and mental well-being.
Yoga of the Moon Phases
Time stretches and contracts in systematic ways. It grows light and dark, stable and crazy, sociable and alienated. The dance of the Sun and Moon creates lunar phases that alter our mind and the reality around us. We will discuss the 30 phases of the Moon used by the ancient Babylonians, Greeks and Hindus. We will explore how they can make our life more successful and our rituals more powerful.

Knowledge from freedom cole pt sanjay rath is like soma from deva.
After the likes of Freedom Cole Visti Larsen and Pandit Sanjay Rath you cannot listen to too many others talk about Astrology
This lineage stands supreme in its authenticity and command over the basics
I wandered for 10 years before stumbling gratefully into this lineage
I can't wait to get started!!
this course is fantastically thorough and captivating! you can enroll as a beginner to astrology or have a background in jyotish already. eitherway, you walk away with a deeper appreciation and understanding in how to assess the karmic patterns manifested in a birth chart. freedom cole has studied vedic astrology for many years under his guru sanjay rath (an esteemed indian astrologer tracing his lineage back to acyutananda). this 'science of light course' is authentic in its teachings and, to top it off, totally engaging. each week, i came to class chomping at the bit to learn more! constructive feedback is provided to ensure students are grasping & applying concepts properly. i honestly can’t say enough goodness about this course. it has changed my life for the better in so many ways. two shining examples of this are: 1) that it has enabled me to see myself and others more clearly, and 2) it has pushed me to further develop my sense of unconditional, positive regard. i am very grateful to have literally stumbled across this course and will certainly do my part in sharing my experiences of it. please feel free to message me with any questions you may have regarding the course ❤️

I am happy to be on a panel at the National Ayurvedic Medicine Association’s conference discussing qualitative research in Ayurveda and mental health this year.
Here is my write up:
My in-progress clinical research on prajñāparādha and mental illness compares people with a yoga practice of more than ten years to those with a trauma history level indicated to heighten the risk of mental and physical disease. I will describe the benefits of qualitative phenomenological research. Then I will discuss how it allows us to collect data on the benefits of Yoga and Āyurveda without limiting a holistic application.

I will be speaking on a panel with:
1) Christine Peterson: defining brain-gut axis and the therapeutic modulation of the gut microbiome.
2) Namyata Pathak: documenting research outcome measures, clinical mechanisms, tools, and educative documentation in reference to diabetes or PD.
3) Vivek Shanbhag: Double blind, controlled, cross-over clinical trial of 280 patients suffering from chronic Acne. Looking at the role of mind on acne, the effect of acne on mind, and mind-body methods for modulating ranjaka and bhrajaka pitta.
4) Freedom Cole: Comparison of quantitative and qualitative research with relation to Ayurveda. Discussing the embodied phenomenology he is using for his research. He will discuss ACE scores (adverse childhood experience) and their potential relationship to prajnaparadha. His presentation will conclude by discussing phenomenological observation of prajnaparadha between those with trauma histories and those without.
The panel will be moderated by Rammohan Rao.
Tried reaching you through mail. Is there a number where I can drop a message for a reading as I am visiting California for a very short time.
Consistently, Jonardon Ganeri is one of my favorite modern philosophers/authors:
"Knowledge should indeed be thought of as a tree – just not this kind of tree. Rather than the European fruiter with its single trunk, knowledge should be pictured as a banyan tree, in which a multiplicity of aerial roots sustains a centreless organic system."
"An epistemic pluralist claims that just as a banyan tree has many different but equally valuable roots, so there are many different but equally valuable ways of interrogating reality."
