Jyotish is the ancient science of deciphering the essential uniformity of principles that guide the celestial bodies and the events in the world. Because of these unified principles, what happens in this world can be deciphered from what happens in the heavenly world. The movement of Grahas or Grahas, as they are called in Sanskrit, provides a unified language used for deciphering the occurrences of this world, including the matters concerning humans, animals, plants, weather and nations.
This is an exciting subject of associating the symbols of nature with the occurrences of mundane events or human affairs; however, it is exceedingly vast. To cover the expansive vistas of this subject, one must undertake a structured approach, which covers several areas of Jyotish, including Ganita, Samhita and Hora. The Ganita deals with the mathematical or astronomical aspect of this subject, the Samhita deals with mundane elements such as weather forecasting, earthquakes, rainfall, etc., and the Hora deals with the judgement of the Kundalis of individuals. This book introduces the subject.

Sarajit Poddar (aka Varāhamihira) is a Jyotish enthusiast. He learned the subject from his paternal uncle, Shri Manoj Kānti Poddar, and was guided by Pt Sanjay Rath. He is a seeker and wishes to understand the alignment of the forces that govern the celestial bodies and worldly affairs. In his studies over the thirty years, he endeavoured to uncover the hidden meaning behind the shlokas and sutras of the classical texts and reconcile their differences. His search for the hidden meaning behind the Jyotish principles took shape in this book, “In Search of Jyotish”. He wishes to share his observations, reflections and experiences with like-minded seekers.
