Jyotish is also referred to as the eyes of Veda and it brings the light of knowledge and light of life. It reveals the relationship of individual life to cosmic life. It is important to understand that when one is experiencing happiness or suffering, it’s our own actions which are coming back as reflections of past Karma. Maharishi would always say, “As you sow, so shall you reap.” As you sow the seed, so shall you reap the crop! All happiness or suffering comes from one’s own actions or Karma accumulated over many births. Jyotish predicts the effects of Karma in terms of Grahas on your entire life.

In the natal chart also called Kundli, Jyotishi expert studies the twelve houses in the chart, and these represent so many aspects of one’s life namely one’s personality, wealth, family, efforts, compatibility in relationships, education, children, health and also most importantly, is about the spirituality and the position of Guru in the house of Guru. Each of these houses is ruled by different graha. Kundli begins counter-clockwise with the first house and goes around the other, forming a 360° angle. Each of these houses is connected to a certain set of traits. Each house represents or rules over multiple things in a person’s life.

Maharishi Jyotish also known as Maharishi Vedic Astrology is the science of transformation and technology of prediction. It is precise and gives you the knowledge of the cycles of time that bring about transformation in your life. It explains how the Laws of Nature are responsible for the changes and developments experienced in your life, and how life unfolds sequentially from the time you are born.

Maharishi Jyotish is the knowledge of the entire range of life - individual and collective life. It can bring to light the profile of an individual’s past, present, and future, thus providing the full understanding of any future trend, whether good or bad, as well as identifying any specific periods that might need extra attention to ensure continuation of life in tune with Natural Law.

According to Jyotish, prediction of future events is possible because the same orderly and sequential Laws of Nature which govern the cosmos also govern the life of the individual. Knowing any one point in the sequence, such as the time and place of birth, an expert can calculate forwards and backwards in time. In this way, it offers valuable insights concerning your health, finances, education, career, life partner, children, compatibility, and inter- personal relationships. Thus, it is a practical program which helps one to "avert the danger that has not yet come" and to take maximum advantage of the fortunate periods coming in one's life so that you can live your full potential, predict coming trends and events prevent future problems and obstacles, and achieve greater success and happiness.

So, knowing the Jyotish is like a roadmap. One knows the timings and the events and one has the advantage of knowing the periods of nature’s support and also periods when there are problems or obstructions. In general, the Jyotish is done at birth as a life chart or for one year or five years or for specific incidents or events. So, based on these events, then Grah Shanti is done to remove the obstacles or problems.
