Resources I have found invaluable in both my personal journey as well as my professional Jyotish journey: Vedic Vidya Institute www.vedicvidya.org A non-profit organization founded by Hart de Fouw dedicated to bringing eastern philosophy and practice to the western mind. The core focus of this institute lies in the study of the immensely rich culture of both ancient and modern India. The goal of the Institute is the broadening of awareness, on both the level of the personal and the universal Self, through the study of time tested methods of self-inquiry related to the ancient texts of India. The primary subjects are Jyotish (Vedic Astrology), Hasta Samudrika Sastra (Vedic or Indian palmistry), Sanskrit (an ancient and sacred language) and Ayurveda (the natural medicine system of India).
