About Pandit Sanjay Rath
By Freedom T. Cole
Sanjay Rath belongs to a traditional family of astrologers from Bira
Balabhadrapur Sasan village of Puri, Orissa (map),
who 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.
