Centre of Astrological Study & Research for Public Welfare, under the leadership of Vice Chancellor S. Kumar Shastri, announced a notable shift in focus among Jyotish Acharyas towards Vastu Shastra. In a press conference held earlier today, Shastri revealed that the institution has witnessed a rapid rise in interest in Vastu Shastra, with more students and practitioners gravitating towards the discipline due to its integration of astrology and science.
Shastri emphasized that the curriculum at the Jyotish Shikshan Sansthan is based on scientifically-backed formulas, setting it apart from any other educational institutions in India. The unique approach of combining astrology, palmistry, and Vastu Shastra in the teaching process has made this institution a trailblazer in astrological education. He added that the Vastu Shastra program, in particular, holds a special status nationwide, as it is designed with a rare blend of ancient wisdom and modern scientific methodology.
The announcement was made during a special Teacher's Day event held at Hotel Boulevard, Bistupur, organized by the Jyotish Shikshan Sansthan of Jharkhand. At the event, newly elected members of the governing body were formally anointed, including Dr. Tapan Rai as Sabha President, Dr. Rajesh Bharti as Secretary, and Dr. Narendra Kumar as Jharkhand State President. The council committee includes Suprabha Bhattacharya, Shubhlaxmi Banerjee, Madhuri Kumari, Munmun Rai, Usha Sonkar, and Padma Kumari Jha, with astrologer Pragyanand Kumar taking charge of the training center.
Shastri outlined how this year’s celebration featured a detailed analysis of astrology, palmistry, and Vastu Shastra. Students shared their experiences, and practical training sessions were arranged. The Vice Chancellor noted that the inclusion of astrological advice in daily life, when followed correctly, can lead to personal and professional growth.
Additionally, Shastri announced the reformation of the institution’s committee, with key figures such as J.B. Murali Krishna as Director, Dr. Tapan Rai as Chairman, Abhijit Chakraborty as President, and Vijay Chakraborty as Vice President. Dr. Rajesh Bharti was named General Secretary, while Dr. Suresh Jha also joined the committee.
With a curriculum deeply rooted in both astrology and science, the institution continues to establish itself as a unique center of learning, shaping the future of astrological education in India.
