This book details the study of the ancient art called 'Jyotisha' (popularly known as vedic astrology) from a modern-day scientific perspective. It describes the varying states of consciousness in beings and the relationship between human consciousness and light. The book reinstates astrology as the study of the impressions of celestial lights on beings and in particular, human life. Under this context, it describes the important astrological techniques used for predictions in the dimensions of human life including the time periods of varying emotional journeys such as joy, peace, stress and sorrow. Finally, using these techniques, the examples of few renowned personalities are studied to serve as an unshakeable proof of evidence that the study of Jyotisha is scientific.

"When a Zen master puts brush to paper, the resulting image is an expression of the quality of his or her mind. It is thus a teaching, intended to compassionately stop us in our tracks and to compel us to consider ultimate truth. Here, forty masterpieces of painting and calligraphy by renowned masters such as Hakuin Ekaku (1685–1768) and Gibon Sengai (1750–1837) are reproduced along with commentary that illuminates both the art and its teaching. The authors’ essays provide an excellent introduction to both the aesthetic and didactic aspects of this art that can be profound, perplexing, serious, humorous, and breathtakingly beautiful—often all within the same simple piece."--Publisher description.
