Sanjay Rath
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sanjay Rath (born August 7, 1963 at Sambalpur, Orissa) is an Indian Vedic astrologer. He comes from a traditional family of astrologers from Bira Balabhadrapur Sasan village in Puri, Orissa, which trace their lineage back to Shri Achyuta Das (Sri Acyutananda). Sanjay studied under his uncle, the late Pandit Kasinath Rath. His grandfather, the late Pandit Jagannath Rath, was the Jyotish Ratna of Orissa and authored many books on Jyotisha. He became a graduate of mechanical engineering and worked for some time with the Indian government[citation needed]. He left government service to devote himself completely to Jyotisha.

[edit] Teaching Jyotish
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. His teaching and writings span across various schools of thought, although not creating his own brand of astrology, which is holistic. He is a strict follower of the teachings of the ancient seers and is also keen for research and further development of the subject. 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.
