14 January 2016 (Thursday): Poovar – Third Fresh Talents of Jyotish Conference Day 1
09:00 to 1:00 pm Master class with Prof. Jaya
Sekhar: Jeeva Swabhava - Intrinsic Karmic
Structure.
The concept of Free Will - The pure “Inner
Consciousness” encircled by “Budhi” (Discretion-
Decision process) creates the “Conditioned Will”. The
course of an individual’s life follows such a “Will” and
one eventually realises the three types of Karma -
Prarabdha, Sanchitha and Aaagamya following the law
of the Universe. How do we study it through Jyotish and
the birth chart,
1:00 to 2:30 Lunch will be served in the restaurant –
included in the cost.
2:30 to 5:30 Master class with Bill Sinclair:
Understanding Individual Karma through the
Mythology of the Rashi Swami Vivekananda has said that one’s “…character is
manufactured by Karma”. Since our Karma is recorded
in the birth chart, we can gain a detailed understanding
of a person’s character by studying the deities who rule
each of the signs of the chart.The signs of the birth chart
are energized by the Adityas who reflect unique aspects
of the Sun. Understanding the character and attributes of
the Adityas provides a key to understanding theessence
of each sign. Our class provides an opportunity to
examine each of the Adityas and see how their
characteristics harmonize with common attributes of the
signs.
8:00 pm Welcome Dinner

15 January 2016 (Friday): Poovar – Third Fresh Talents of Jyotish Conference Day 2
09:00 to 1:00 pm Master class with Prof. Jaya Sekhar - Jaathaka Anukoolyam -
Companionship Compatibility
Compatibility is assessed on different levels. The
material-physical level, the mental- psychological level
and most important the Spiritual level are to be
compared. If the aim is to establish a long lasting
relationship it is necessary that the partners have a
Karmic Equality (Paapa Punya Saamyam). If there has to
be a deep feeling of contentment in the relationship the
Spiritual level has to be established as this shows the
compatibility of the Subtle Inner Energies of the
partners.
1:00 to 2:30 Lunch will be served in the restaurant –

2:30 to 5:30 Master class with Komilla Sutton
Chidra Dasha – A Time for Transition
The end of Maha Dashas is known as Chidra dasha.
Chidra means faults or holes. Like a cloth that is well
worn may have holes, the dasha as it ends is worn out
and full of holes and an unprepared person may fall
through them. When Dashas change it has an immense
impact in our lives. In order to deal with this, the
astrologer needs to understand the last bhuktis of the
planets and the next dasha. There is weakness at the end
of each dasha as it is making changing into a new one. In
this workshop, Komilla will talk about these transition
times and how to work with them successfully
6:30pm: Evening trip to Kovalam Beach – time free to
shop and have dinner. Many wonderful places by the
sea.
