Sanjay Rath
Sanjay Rath belongs to a traditional family of astrologers from Bira Balabhadrapur Sasan village of Puri, Orissa, which trace their lineage back to Shri Achyuta Das (Sri Achyutananda).
Sanjay studied under his uncle, late Pandit Kasinath Rath. His grandfather, the late Pandit Jagannath Rath, was the Jyotish Ratna of Orissa and authored many books on Jyotish. He began his studies at a tender age, and received the depth of Jyotish only found among those who have been trained in the ancient traditional way of the parampara. He later became a graduate of mechanical engineering and worked for some time with the Government of India. Leaving government service to devote himself completely to Jyotisha, he has the depth of the ancient knowledge with the ability to communicate it to the modern mind.
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. Few are able to grasp Sanjay’s broad and deep approach, and only the advanced astrologer is truly able to appreciate it. His teachings show the underlying factors of why the principles of astrology work. His teaching and writings span across various schools of thought, although not creating his own brand of astrology, which is wholistic and gets to the heart of the ancient Jyotisha scriptures. He is a strict follower of the teachings of the ancient seers and is also keen for research and further development of the subject.
He gives his students the clarity of vision of the eye of the Vedas and his works are filling the void of advanced teachings and raising the standards in the astrological world.
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.
He is presently working on translating the ancient Jyotish scriptures according to his deep understanding of their meaning that has been given to him through the grace of his parampara.

Vanita Lenka
Vanita Lenka was born and brought up in New Delhi, India and is a globetrotter, She currently lives in Muscat, Oman
She developed her interest in Vedic Astrology when she was just 10 years old when her grandmother used to tell her the mythological tales and used to narrate about the Purnima(Full Moon)and Amawasya(New Moon), the waxing and the waning Moon concept, which intrigued her to know more about this side of the world..
Genuine astrology is learned and takes years to master. Astrology is never clairvoyant, psychic, supernatural, intuitive, magical or inborn. Vanita imparts her planetary wisdom at every turn. She wants to help people, not scare them, she’s here to help you through the tough times and pointing out astrological opportunities. She understands the human condition.
She has performed over 5000 in-depth personal readings and is proficient in most branches of Classical Vedic Astrology that includes- Vocation(Vocational Astrology is unique in it’s ability to see the whole picture of talent, happiness, success and timing), Location, Medical, Natal, Transit-Progressed, Spiritual, Comparative Analysis, Electional (selecting dates for important life events); Gem Selection; Fertility Dating and Horary Astrology (the art of answering special questions from exact times). Her consulting experience is vast (completing almost 3 decades), having read for men and women of most nations, ages and professions.
She loves to dress up and wants to convey everyone the message that an Astrologer is not just supposed to be wearing saffron clothes and has to be wearing a Rudrakhsa Mala with a sandalwood Tilak on the forehead to get the label of being an Astrologer. An Astrologer should be well versed of the subject and above all be a good counselor as well, a friend and an approachable identity who is here to help in today’s busy world, where we need someone to hear us out and forewarn us of the tough and rough times ahead.
She has gained the respect of her fellow astrologers for her excellent astrology readings. Her readings are close to accuracy as far as family, health, career, love, relationships and lot more, She has had some real great interactive sessions with clients all across the globe and suggests practical upaye(remedies) to counter the adverse impacts of the planets. She also consults with companies large and small to counsel on the intersections of astrology and business acumen.

Barry Rosen
Barry Rosen has been practicing Vedic astrology since 1987. He has visited and studied in India on 4 occasions and has spoken numerous times at the American Council of Vedic Astrology Conferences in Sedona, AZ since 1999 and also the British Association of Vedic Astrologers in London since 2006. He has been involved in Vedic culture since 1973 and is a long-time meditation and yoga teacher and a published poet. He has had many Vedic astrology teachers including Komilla Sutton, Marc Boney, Robert Koch, and has taken a number of mini-seminars from Sanjay Rath. In the last seven years, he has moved away from his specialty in Investment and Mundane astrology to his fascination with the psychological and spiritual dimensions of Vedic astrology.
He is the author of five books on Vedic astrology including The 2018-2020 Vedic Almanac series, Finding Your Blind Spots Using Vedic Astrology, Signs of LIfe from the Astrological Zodiac: The Spiritual Dimensions of Planets, Signs, and Houses in Vedic Astrology and Mysteries of Saturn and Capricorn: Mastering the Energies for Growth and Transformation. They are all also available through Amazon.
He has been teaching classes in Investment Astrology since 1990 and began teaching the other aspects of Vedic astrology specialized courses online since 2017, including Dashas, Transits, Personal Finance, Health, Longevity and Death, Nakshatras, The Spiritual Dimensions of Vedic Astrology, Secrets of the Houses, Relationships and many more.
In his consultations, he focuses more on the emotional and mental patterns in the chart and their impact on consciousness which can create waves of illusion blocking you. A good consultation should help you witness the play of karma so that you are not gripped by it; you can transcend it and realize your own Divinity, becoming the commander of the planets and not the victim.
Barry Rosen also operates a blog on Facebook under Barry Rosen and also Astro-Yoga and his professional astrological website is www.appliedvedicastrology.com. He can be reached at support@appliedvedicastrology.com.

Visti Larsen
I was born in 1981, and have spent most of my professional life studying and practicing Vedic Astrology. Despite my birth and early-upbringing in Mombasa, Kenya, I was exposed to Vedic beliefs of Gods and Goddesses that came fully to fore in my early teens in Denmark. My family and I practice a fully vegetarian lifestyle, meditate daily and follow the spiritual tradition of Śrī Śarada Matha, Calcutta, India.
My Jyotiṣa teacher is Pt. Sanjay Rath, whom I owe my knowledge to since 2001. Through my Guruji I am a part of the Vedic Tradition of Śrī Achyutānanda Dasa.
I’ve been a professional Jyotishi since 2004, thanks to the instigation of the Khanna family in late 2003. I practice horoscope consultations daily, besides teaching Astrology courses both in my school Rāma Academy and my teacher’s school, Devaguru Bṛhaspati Centre.
