A dazzling tour de force on a topic that needs elucidation for modern astrologers.

This unique book shows how you can tailor your yoga practice based on your personal horoscope. We are living in a world where so many things have a one-size-fits-all approach. There is a need to connect with our unique individual being on a deeper level. This applies to our yoga practice as well. In order for our sādhanā (spiritual practice) to be more effective, we first need to understand our kārmic journey, who we really are, our mental and physical make up, and our calling or dharma in life. Jyotish (Vedic astrology) is a wonderful science which can answer some of these questions for us. Once we know more about ourselves through the lens of our birth chart (horoscope), it becomes easier to find a Yoga practice (Āsana, meditation style etc) that naturally supports our journey in this life, a practice that is conducive to our unique being. We are all unique. Our Yoga practice should also be. Jyotish can help us individualize our Yoga practice. Our sincere hope is that this book will help you do that.

This is the world’s first astrological (Vedic Jyotish) book which is based on scientific evaluation and validation. The interpretations are based on rationale and logic. Your and other people’s robotic behavior stems from a pre-programmed chip, which is embedded in your mystic glands inside the brain. This chip controls the inherent behavior of a person. The information about this coded chip is available in your kundali (astrological chart). Shani (Saturn): a new revolutionary understanding Shani is like a GPS with an in-built navigation system. A retrograde (R) or debilitated (D) Shani is like a GPS, which is malfunctioning. Obviously, you land up at wrong places, at wrong timings, thus wasting your life’s energy reaching nowhere. This creates frustration, sadness, depression, and mental agony. Self-pity makes you wail in a well of despair, you wallowing, “my fate!”

Light on Life brings the insight and wisdom of Indian astrology to the Western reader. Jyotish, or Indian astrology, is an ancient and complex method of exploring the nature of time and space and its effect upon the individual. Formerly a closed book to the West, the subject has now been clarified and explained by Hart de Fouw and Dr. Robert Svoboda, two experts and long-term practitioners. In Light on Life they have created a complete and thorough handbook that can be appreciated and understood by those with very little knowledge of astrology.

An authoritative primer to Jyotish, or Vedic Astrology, this book draws on the author's extensive study of the tradition. Andrew Mason explains in detail the practical applications of Jyotish, introduces the planets, signs and houses, as well as the many rich and highly entertaining mythologies of the system with an explanation of how to interpret them. He also covers Vedic Astrology's sister science, Ayurveda, and describes how they interact to provide insight into celestial timing, sustained health and general wellbeing. With sample charts that show the applications throughout, the book provides a complete an accessible resource on Jyotish for students of Indian astrology and Ayurveda practitioners. It will also be of interest to anyone with a passion for astrology.

From the award-winning host of the Radically Loved podcast, an invitation to discover the healing power of who you are, body, mind, and spirit. Growing up in East L.A. in the nineties, Rosie Acosta dismissed spirituality and wellness as something people like her didn’t do. But after being arrested at age fifteen, she knew that only a radical change would lead her away from debilitating anxiety and self-doubt. As she puts it, yoga offered her a ladder and she began to climb. In this empowering and accessible guide, Acosta leads readers through the essential spiritual practices she uses to create a radically loved life. With the arc of her own journey as a framework, she presents meditations, journaling questions, and practices for identifying and honoring our own radical truths. With grit and grace, this heart-filled guide makes spiritual practice accessible to everyone and helps you become the person you are truly meant to be.
