The Course
Jaimini is a very fascinating branch of Jyotiṣa, and a specialty of my teacher, K.N. Rao. Events in a person's life oftentimes can be seen in a startlingly simple and straightforward way.
This course initiates students into all the essentials of this brilliant system of astrology and includes an original translation of a portion of Mahāṛsī Jaimini's Upadeśa Sūtras .
All the learning points are profusely illustrated using the birth charts of well-known public figures.
