Why This Course?
In Parāśari Jyotish we mainly work with the birth chart and its dashās.
Tajik Shastra opens another door:
- one chart for each year of life (Varshphal),
- and one chart for the exact moment a question is asked (Prashna).
This tradition came into India through Persian/Tajik influence and was fully absorbed into our Jyotish paramparā. Our Ṛṣis did not reject it; they recognised that, when used correctly, Tajik gives very crisp timing and clear yes/no indications.
In this course, we treat Tajik as a living tool, not as a foreign add-on:
- You will understand how Varsh chart and birth chart talk to each other.
- You will see how Muntha, Lord of Year, Tajik aspects and yogas pick out the main theme of a year:
– “This is the year of job change.”
– “This is the year of surgery and recovery.”
– “This is the year of foreign movement,” etc. - You will learn how, in Prashna, Tajik rules sometimes show more immediate truth than the natal chart, especially when birth details are doubtful or when the question is very urgent.
The style is rooted in paramparā, but the language is clean and modern.
We connect logic, Sanskrit terms, and practical charts so that you can actually use what you learn.
