LEEDS VEDIC CONFERENCES 2021 – Friday 24th Sept 2021 at 3 pm UK on
Yoga Combinations of Knowledge for Spirituality.
Swami Vivekananda in his discourse on Jñāna Yoga says: “This misery that I am suffering is of my own doing, and that very thing proves that it will have to be undone by me alone.” This is the truth of Swami Vivekananda – clearly encouraging to look within to seek our solutions. That comes from the power of knowing. We have an innate ability to tap into that knowledge within us.
In this talk, Sonal examines the Kārakāṁśa Lagna (which is the planet and sign of the Atmakaraka in the navamsha chart) and the planets aspecting it, along with the Yoga combinations that highlight the Jñāna knowledge available to the individual to assist in their unique journey and destination. Drawing from some of the Jaimini Sutras and Parasara Principles, these Yogas give us insights and guide us on our Soul Path.
SATURDAY 30TH OCTOBER 5.30pm – 6.30pm
Our Fight for Ourselves: The Intelligence of Our Rising
The Ascendant Lagna in Vedic Jyotisha
is one of the most important pillars amongst the three. It is the Satya peetha – The Truth of oneself and planetary aspects on the Ascendant will indicate alteration in our dhi intelligence and our viveka discriminating power. This talk will look at what makes us think as we do, and what really compels us to make the choices that we make – how certain foods and herbs can help us alleviate the afflictions to the Ascendant and or to the Ascendant ruler/lord.

Difficult and challenging transits reflect what is already promised in our natal birth chart. Caught in the grip of the Nodal Axis or the Sarpa Yoga? Saturn traversing your rising sign? Build-up of malefics affecting your Moon? How does one concretely deal with above scenarios? There are some key techniques, dietary change and lifestyle choices that can be followed to be able to flow in these challenging times so we can embrace what they are asking of us. We can be aware of what these negative energies demand of us and thus begin to work creatively with it. Rather than be engulfed with myriad of chronic health issues to a mental breakdown to possibly a mild low grade depression, (silent killer), What one resists, always persists. Hence awareness through Divine Knowledge will see us through these difficult times.

Vaidya dr. Adwait Tripathi belongs to highly Brahmin familywhich comes from traditional lineage of ayurvedic doctors. Ayurvedic history of his family is legendary.
In his age of 4 years to age of 10 years he spent his childhood with blessings of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi Ji. His father brought him there and he raised up to hold hand of his father’s grandfather who took him to Maharishi Mahesh Yogi Ji’s house. There he was blessed to see and touch his feet during 1985. In 1987 he had his own yagopavit sankar where Maharishi Ji personally blessed him. So, his childhood he spent to see and touch the feet of great person, in his age of 4yrs to 10yrs, and then Maharshi Ji moved to Vlodrop, Holland.
His schooling was like vedic student in Maharishi Vidya Mandir school where he learned yoga, meditation, siddhis – it was great period of his life.
After his studies he get admission in government approved college of Ayureda in Muzzaffarpur Bihar from 2002 to 2009 where he done complete ayurvedic studying.
His grandfather’s – father, name Pandit lallu lal Sharma, was great jyotishi (astrologer) and vaidya; during the time in bundela empire, he has been rewarded as Rajya jyotishi and vaidya (Jyotish and Ayurveda were the foundation and linage of his family). He has been very famous as jyotishi and vaidya there in that time.
Then his grandfather, name Pandit Rudrapratap Sharma (Tripathi) was active and great jyotishi and vaidya, who had open many schools in the back word remote area and done many huge social work and had open recognized own ayurveda college in 1970s. He had done huge great work for society and poor people, and had successfully running school of 1.200 students. He had given donation to Indian government for opening school (name of school is Akhand Vidyalaya); today it is the best school of Adwait’s birth town Kabrai (Mahoba), and his grandfather is the founder of that school, where with great respect still his big pictures are in school office.
Along with it many poor children he adopted and provided them schooling, and they became successful judges and layers in India. During 1980s to the invitation of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi Ji Adwaut’s grandfather moved to Noida Maharishi Nagar where he was appointed as senior vaidya and he got responsibility of ras shala (for prepration of medicines and rasayanas in ayurveda) where he has been introduced to Triguna Ji, and they done successful work over there.
After 5 years he has been invited Adwait’s father vaidya Achyut Kumar Tripathi in his young age, who has very bold and honestly nature. Maharishi Mahesh Yogi ji personally was giving him responsibility as administrative officer to see and take and organize camp, vaidya trainings, maharishi product trainings, pulse diagnose trainings, appoint of vaidyas to various health centers in the world, so all those vaidya people from India to various part of world during 1985 to 2000 were sent and appointed by channel of Adwait’s father during his work.
Then he got the responsibility as editor while writing the book of Triguna Ji’s biography, what was inauguraled by the President of India. During the time of the book editing he spent much time with Triguna Ji and received much of Triguna Ji’s knowledge and work experiences, and during that time they become very close to each other. In that period Triguna Ji suggested Adwait’s father to give little time to Indian government, so his father provided entrance in rastriya vidya petha (branch of ayurveda in Indian government) and it was blessing of Triguna Ji. That step gave milestone to Adwait’s father after what he was not limited only to Maharishi Nagar, he came in Indian level and from that moment until today Adwait and his father and their work are blessed from Triguna ji, who was like Adwait’s grandfather – Adwait raised up with him.
Today Adwait’s father is one of 15 vaidyas across India who had given their lives for service of Ayurveda, governing body member of rav.
You can see in link below about 15vaidyas in India, (official website about Indian government institution for ayurveda) where you can see Adwait’s father name:

Many people across the world visit him to have pulse diagnostic or study Ayurveda.
Along with ayurveda study, due to having lineage and tradition of ayurveda, he wrote many blogs and articles, worked with his father and regularly visited Triguna Ji and spent time with him (until he died).Today Adwait is running his own clinic Arogya Sadnam (www.arogyasadnam.com) in Noida – India, and also doing much work all over the Europe and whole world. Once a year he is visiting Bulgeria, in organization of Foundation Devam by Mauna Kaushik, for giving Ayurvedic consultaions, pulse diagnostic and ayurvedic workshops. 3 times per year he is coming to Porec – Croatia, where he has his branch in Health Center Harmony.

An Introduction: Vedic Astrology or
Jyotisha The Science of seeing the Light
TOPICS COVERED
Panchanga, the Indian almanac with your unique Sun-Moon angles – How to read the rectangle Indian chart, which has similarities to the Arabic/medieval layout. Who is calling the shots in your chart? Who is the King of your chart? Bring your charts along and get a perspective that you never had before. An Introduction to the Nakshtras or the Lunar Constellations.
For both newcomers and seasoned Western Astrologers alike, learning Vedic/Hindu Astrology can seem a tad daunting, but it’s a lot easier than it might first appear.
The Vedic system uses the Sidereal zodiac, mapped to the position of Fixed Star Constellations in the night sky. At its simplest, planets and houses in a Western chart may shift to the preceding sign using the Sidereal Zodiac.
While that might involve a significant mental leap when viewed with a Western astrology mindset, the real leap is in understanding that Vedic astrology uses a very different palette and toolset.
Moreover, Vedic astrology is just one part of an ancient traditional wisdom from the Vedas – a highly integrated body of sacred philosophy and cosmological knowledge that also encompasses Ayurveda Medicine and, of course, Yoga.
The twelve zodiac signs are common to both Tropical and Sidereal zodiacs, except that the Sidereal Zodiac is completely mapped to the 27 Nakshatras Fixed Stars. They lend great depth and specific characteristics to each sign.
For instance, Moon in Libra is widely accepted to be of an agreeable and harmonious disposition. The Nakshatras of Swati and Visakha, both fall in the sign of Libra. While Moon in Swati carries the above traits, the Moon in Visakha is a lot more complex, intense and far from agreeable.
In essence, the study of Vedic astrology not only provides precision tools, with the capacity to explore one’s karmic blueprint, but delivers tailor made remedies and remarkable predictive insights.
Whether you’re just starting out on an astrological odyssey or are looking for new methods to develop your existing knowledge, once you’re familiar with the basics, you’ll never look back. So, come and find out how Vedic astrology works and has done for some 3,000 years. FACEBOOK LINK :https://www.facebook.com/events/354328521860054/

Sona Sachdeva
A Talk by Sonal Sachdeva
Jyotish, in Sanskrit, translates as ‘shining light’. Its etymological meaning is giving the Light of knowledge from the Sun. Literally, to become ‘illuminated’ with the gift of foresight. This is the special power of Sun God Savitur to see beyond what is.
Jyotish or Hindu Astrology forms a minor yet significant part of the ‘Vedas’ which are among the oldest Sanskrit scriptures and have survived for over 5,000 years. The origin of this sacred wisdom is said to have been received by the ancient sages in the form of ‘knowing’. without any kind of human intervention.
Its basis of instruction is on sound and vibration and phonetics.Hence all Vedantic knowledge is fundamentally based on sound. While the Western Civilization is Solar/Sun or Light based. Thus, the roots of Eastern philosophy and specifically the wisdom of the Vedic Tradition,differs markedly from the Western one.
Long before Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung gave us foundations of Psychotherapy, the Vedas (Vedic Astrology) had already explored the dark, demonic forces lurking within the subconscious mind.
Fascinating Link between Quantum Physics and the Vedas.
Space-time concepts and human consciousness are fully explored in the Vedas and draw remarkable parallels with the metaphysical theories that modern scientists grapple with today.
As Robert Oppenheimer, often called the father of the nuclear bomb, and a significant contributor to the field of quantum mechanics, was clearly enamoured by Vedic literature, declaring that, “Access to the Vedas is the greatest privilege this century may claim over all previous centuries.”
From simple Astrological concepts to multi universes to Quantum Physics, we will explore all these through the lens of the ancient sacred Vedas.
