“Through Jagatsevak I'm able to see the bigger picture in the vast realm of astrology. He is a fantastic teacher and helps to connect the dots of all the theory that I've learnt before finding him. His experience, knowledge and understanding of Jyotish makes him an outstanding guide for anyone who wants to learn this vidya. His teaching style is lively, practical and supportive. It is truly a blessing that I'm able to learn from him.”
“Your words bring forth much clarity and they come from a very genuine place. I don't just feel connected to Jyotisha when I hear from you, I also get a better idea about my
own choices and thoughts. As a person who doesn't wish to believe anything blindly, you have shown me how Jyotisha brings light in a person's life. You instill interest in the seeker and inspire us. It's always a new learning for me when you talk. You make the whole Jyotisha vidya relatable to me through my life. Thank you very much.”
“Learning from Jagatsevak was awesome and so personalised. I was amazed at how quickly I was able to learn and apply the material. It has so much to do with Jagatsevak’s teaching style and unique methods to work with all the different learning styles. It was so cool to see how I could start to understand not only my chart but the charts of friends. Thanks for such a great learning experience!”
Of all things I have done in the search of understanding my life purpose - tarot readings, astrology readings, meeting mediums, palm readings and even therapy - this has been the most powerful and valuable experience to me. I have never met someone who is so spot on throughout a long reading like this. Jagatsevak has a very rare deep intuition and strong knowledge in this field. I walked out feeling empowered, seen and with a new sense of direction and for this I am endlessly grateful.

“I came to Jagatsevak for a better understanding of my spiritual path, and he did not disappoint. His expertise far excels the formulaic interpretations I had come to expect from Vedic astrology; he reads with spot-on intuition, a deep understanding of the esoteric significance of the planets and nakshatras, and an ease bordering on artistry. It would not be an understatement to say that the time I spent with him and the insights with which he was able to provide me have lightened the burden of both my sadhana and my day-to-day affairs. He is compassionate, understanding, knowledgable, and, also, just great company to have around. Thank you.”
