Dharma & Right Vocation and
Your Life’s Purpose
Each person has a righteous path in pursuit of the realization of the self. This rightful path of personal purpose is called swadharma in Sanskrit. To discover this, the ancient Vedas of India say to consult a Vedic astrologer. That ancient advice is as timely now as it was then, particularly in light of these times of increasing vocational stress and confusion due to the globalization of the workforce. The social contract of work has changed from the security and longevity of the local marketplace to the increased performance and productivity of a global economic marketplace model. As documented by James Huntington’s best-seller, Work’s New Age, Huntington reveals that the end of full employment is already here; the lack of work is reflected in changing social patterns and a person’s sense of self-worth and identity.

In The Name of God:
Spiritual Dimensions of Vedic Astrology
Jyotisha, the astrology of India, is considered one of the six limbs of the Vedas, the spiritual scriptures of India. It is held in high esteem to be the eye of the Veda for its supreme ability to see deeply into the nature and purpose of our earthly sojourn. Therefore, many seekers come to Vedic astrology in search of their spiritual purpose and spiritual path, and the student of Vedic astrology must be prepared to answer these profound questions of spiritual import.
In this workshop, Dennis will illuminate the spiritual dynamics of the Vedic chart and instruct you on how to use the extraordinary tools available to today’s students of Vedic astrology to delve deeply into the spiritual nature of each chart. This class will explore the planets of spiritual light and the places of spiritual light revealed through the Vedic chart. You will learn the various paths that inflame and illuminate each seeker in their timeless search for spiritual knowledge, God, and enlightenment.
