There’s an intelligence behind the flow of your life.
Learn to tune in and live from it.
June 11–14, 2026 | North Bondi Surf Club, Sydney
Certain weeks, life flows. Decisions land, relationships click, the right opportunities arrive without forcing. Then a stretch comes where everything stalls, and you can’t pinpoint why. You feel it in your body too: energy that surges and dips, sleep that cooperates one season and vanishes the next, a restlessness you can’t seem to shake no matter what you try.
There’s a reason for all of it. And it’s not random.
There are larger patterns at work. Cosmic rhythms reflected in your constitution, your health, your life’s unfolding. Vedic astrology, Jyotish (JYO-tish), is the science of reading and understanding those patterns. Where Ayurveda works to keep the body integrated and balanced, Jyotish illuminates the bigger picture: the seasons that call for bold action, the periods that demand rest, the moments when a small shift carries you furthest.
REGISTER NOWWhen Jyotish is approached together with Ayurveda, a more complete picture emerges: one that reveals how physiology, awareness, joy, and dharma are intimately connected. This four-day in-person course in Bondi, Sydney, taught by Dr. Harsha Vardhan Raju, brings these traditions together to help you recognize the intelligence already present within your body and within life itself.
By exploring the cosmic patterns reflected in your personal birth chart, you’ll refine your perception, deepen your self-understanding, and cultivate an embodied knowing of your unique constitution, your health rhythms, and the deeper currents shaping your life.

Forget sun-sign horoscopes and vague personality profiles. Jyotish is a living, dynamic practice, older than Western astrology by millennia, rooted in direct observation, and designed to be lived, not just studied.
In the Vedic tradition, the nine grahas (planets) aren’t distant objects pulling invisible strings. They’re expressions of the same cosmic intelligence that pulses through your body, shapes your constitution, and steers the rhythms of your digestion, sleep, emotions, and energy. As the ancient texts say: as is the macro, so is the micro. The cosmos isn’t something outside of you. It moves through you. You are not separate from it.
Your birth chart unfolds as a mirror of consciousness, a mirror into the very fiber of how you perceive, how you understand, how you move through life.
“If you can understand Jyotish, then you can understand yourself.”
— Dr. J.R. Raju
Rather than memorising technical interpretations, you’ll learn to feel into the planetary energies, understanding how they manifest in your body, your emotions, and your spiritual journey. Your chart transforms into a living tool for self-understanding.
And because Dr. Harsha doesn’t teach astrology in a vacuum, you’ll also uncover the profound connections between planetary influences and your constitutional health patterns: how cosmic rhythms affect your doshas and personal constitution, and how to build personalized practices for maintaining balance through diet, lifestyle, and observances aligned with your chart. In the original tradition, Jyotish and Ayurveda were never separated. They are different lenses on the same body of knowledge, and they sharpen each other.
Day 1: Foundations & the Living Planets
The course opens with an invocation and blessing. You’ll learn the Navagraha mantra, set a personal sankalpa (intention), and receive your introduction to Jyotish: what it is, how it differs from Western astrology, and why the Vedic sidereal approach captures something other systems miss. From there, the nine grahas come alive as characters with stories, temperaments, and colors. You’ll dig into benefic and malefic planets, retrograde motion, and the rivalries and alliances between them.
Day 2: Reading Your Chart
You’ll step into the architecture of a Vedic birth chart: the 12 rasi (signs) and 12 bhava (houses) that form its framework, and how planets behave differently depending on where they sit. You’ll work with exaltation and debilitation, planetary sight (drsti), and how these placements colour the way energy moves through your life. By the afternoon, your chart will start to feel less like a diagram and more like a mirror.
REGISTER FOR THE COURSEDay 3: Remedies, the Moon & the Stars
You’ll calculate your own planetary strengths, identify powerful yogas (planetary combinations) in your chart, and learn practical upaya (remedies) for supporting weaker planets: gemstones, rudrakshas, Ayurvedic approaches, and spiritual practices. Dr. Harsha bridges Jyotish and Ayurveda here, showing how planetary imbalances mirror dosha imbalances. The afternoon opens into lunar cycles, tithis, and the 27 Nakshatras.
Day 4: Living Jyotish
You’ll learn to track gochara (current planetary transits), understand how eclipses ripple through your daily experience, and start working with the Vedic calendar (Panchang) as a practical tool for choosing when to act and when to wait. For those ready to go deeper, Dr. Harsha opens the door to Navamsha and divisional charts, revealing subtler layers of your life path and purpose.

Dr. Harsha Raju carries a lineage of Ayurvedic physicians that stretches back generations. His father, Dr. J.R. Raju, served as personal Vaidya to Maharishi Mahesh Yogi and was instrumental in restoring the complete practice of Ayurveda, including lost techniques, to the modern world. Harsha doesn’t approach Jyotish as an academic subject. He learned it the way it was meant to be transmitted: directly, within the family, alongside Ayurveda, pulse diagnosis, and the full body of Vedic science.
Students around the world have waited decades for Dr. Harsha to teach Jyotish in this format. The knowledge has always been there, woven into his consultations and pulse readings, but he has never before dedicated a full course to transmitting it directly.
June 2026 in Bondi is the first time this body of teaching will be offered as a standalone program.
Most Jyotish courses teach astrology. Most Ayurveda courses teach health. Dr. Harsha teaches them as one system, because that’s how they were originally practiced. Your chart illuminates your constitution. Your pulse confirms what the chart suggests. The remedies work on both levels simultaneously.
You won’t spend four days memorizing tables. The course emphasizes what the ancient texts call prajna: discriminating wisdom that arises from direct experience. Through meditation, pulse practice, chart study, and connecting planetary transits to what you feel in your own body, you’ll build an intuitive relationship with this knowledge. By Sunday, you won’t just know about Jyotish. You’ll feel it working.
All participants join a WhatsApp community for ongoing questions, integration, and connection. You’ll also have the opportunity to sign up for Parashara’s Light, the leading Jyotish software, as a group, so you can continue exploring your chart at home.
This course welcomes all experience levels, from complete beginners to those who’ve been studying Jyotish for years.
If you’re new, you’ll find the teaching grounded, intuitive, and free of unnecessary jargon. If you already have a Jyotish background, know this: the way Dr. Harsha teaches is unlike anything you’ve encountered before. His approach, rooted in direct lineage, integrated with Ayurveda and pulse reading, and centered on embodied experience rather than intellectual analysis, will reshape how you relate to this science.
Come with a beginner’s mindset. Leave space for the knowledge to land fresh.
This is not a certification program. You will not leave qualified to read other people’s charts or practice as a Jyotishi.
Rather than focusing on predictive techniques or chart-reading for others, this course cultivates something deeper: your inner knowingness, that subtle intelligence that connects you to the natural world and your body’s inherent wisdom. Through the lens of Jyotish integrated with Ayurveda, you’ll learn to perceive the energetic patterns that influence your own physical, mental, and spiritual well-being.
If you’re looking for a professional astrology credential or a course focused on prediction and reading for clients, this isn’t the right fit. If you’re drawn to self-discovery, to understanding your patterns, your constitution, your life rhythms from the inside out, you’re in the right place.

Please note: A Self-Pulse Reading course is a prerequisite for this program. Learning to take your own pulse is a self-referral technique that awakens health from within — and it’s the foundation this course builds on. If you haven’t completed a course with the Rajus yet, we’ll send you details on how to take their online introductory course at an additional cost of AUD $150.
Absolutely. This course is built from the ground up. No previous experience with Jyotish, astrology, or Ayurveda is required. Dr. Harsha’s teaching is grounded and intuitive, and every concept is introduced in plain language before going deeper. Many participants will be encountering Jyotish for the very first time, and that fresh perspective is a gift to the entire room.
Dr. Harsha’s approach to Jyotish is rooted in direct lineage transmission and deeply integrated with Ayurveda, pulse reading, and Vedic practices in a way that most Jyotish courses are not. Even experienced practitioners consistently report that his teaching reshapes their understanding of the science, because the integration with Ayurveda and pulse reading opens dimensions most Jyotish training never touches. That said, we ask all experienced participants to come with a beginner’s mindset.
No. This course is designed for self-discovery and personal growth, not professional certification. You will not be certified to read charts for others or practise as a Jyotishi. What you will walk away with is an embodied understanding of your own chart, your constitution, and practical tools for living in alignment with the cosmic rhythms that shape your daily life.
Taking your own pulse is a self-referral technique that enlivens health from within. It’s a practice designed to help you heal yourself. Through self-pulse, you get to know your body, mind, emotional body, and higher Self on a deeper level. Because this course integrates Jyotish with your direct bodily experience, the ability to read your own pulse is the foundation everything else builds on.
You can learn through The Rajus Ayurveda on-demand Self-Pulse course for an additional AUD $150. Email us to receive a registration link to start learning.
This course is taught in person only. The transmission of this knowledge, as it has been done for thousands of years, requires being in the room with the teacher. The integration of pulse reading, meditation, and direct guidance from Dr. Harsha cannot be replicated through a screen.
No. The course takes place at North Bondi Surf Club, centrally located in the heart of Bondi. You’ll arrange your own accommodation nearby. We recommend booking early to secure good accommodation.
Each day runs from 9:30 am to 6:30 pm, with a 90-minute break for lunch. Lunch is on your own, and Bondi has no shortage of excellent options within walking distance.
A notebook, a pen, and a laptop with the Parashara’s Light software downloaded and ready to use. You’ll be working with your own chart throughout the course, and having the software set up in advance means you can dive straight in from Day 1. We will be sending more info on the software we will be using.
The course itself is a group experience. However, Dr. Harsha will be available for private consultations in Sydney from June 15–17, directly following the course. You can book time with him when you register.
Flights, accommodation, and meals are not included. The course fee covers tuition and facilities only. If you have not yet taken a Self-Pulse course with the Rajus, you will take that prerequisite course and submit an additional fee of AUD 150.
Yes. A four-installment plan of AUD $700 x 4 (AUD $2,800 total) is available. The adjusted total reflects the administrative costs of managing installment plans and the fact that all course expenses, including Dr. Raju’s travel from India, facilities, and materials, are prepaid well in advance. Full payment at registration remains the most economical option.
This is the first time Dr. Harsha has ever offered this course, and the group will be kept deliberately small. The learning runs deeper when the room is intimate and Dr. Harsha can work with each person’s chart directly. Once spots fill, registration closes.
