I am new to the study of Vedic astrology, but I have been following Sam off and on ever since I completed an Ayurveda certification program 10 years ago.  I have only dabbled in jyotish since.  I became a true believer in Vedic astrology when I had my chart done by Pundit Shastri and I could feel the correlation between the dashas and my life experience.  It was always right on point and it helped me to understand that the universal influences are strong and they also pass/change.  I want to understand more about who I am and why I am here and I wish to share this understanding with others.
