Chandra is the Moon, representing the source of water in our lives. We know that we get this from lakes and rivers which is represented by Venus, the Jala kāraka. But the source of this is the rainfall which is…

When the Moon sign lord, which is a form of Viṣṇu, also becomes the ātmakāraka (a form of Bhairava Śiva – aṣṭamūrti), then a merger of the Viṣṇu and Śiva principles occurs. This is taught as the jñāna-miśra-bhakti by the…

Upanishads
Ātman is a central idea in all the Upanishads, and “Know your Ātman” their thematic focus. These texts state that the core of every person’s self is not the body, nor the mind, nor the ego, but Ātman – “Soul” or “Self”. Atman is the spiritual essence in all creatures, their real innermost essential being. It is eternal, it is the essence, it is ageless.

Kāraka is derived from the words kara meaning (1) the hand which is the body part for enterprise and action or (2) to do indicating the action involved in doing something. Ka refers to prajāpati as the creator and indicates material manifestation.
Houses as Kāraka
Based on the first meaning, kāraka refers to the divisions of the sky as signs, houses or mansions created by the movements of the Sun, Moon and other planets that signify the events and different activities of the entity. These are called ‘bhāva kāraka’.

The syllabus for each academic year of the PJC is based on Topics which include some chapters of the monumental classic under study – Bṛhat Parāśara Horā Śāstra. Please note that while we intend to complete each Academic Year in a calendar year, this may not happen as it is possible that the students are likely to take more time for this. In the past we have found the correlation to be about two calendar years for each Academic Year.
Secondly, the Fees quoted for each PJC Year relate to the entire Academic Year.
