22a Saptarishis Gurukul

Saptarishis Gurukul A Gurukul translated in English would mean a School of learning where a teacher (guru) teaches his students (sishya) or replies to their queries. This section is akin to Your Technical Difficulties solved wherein scholars of Vedic Astrology from all over the world would reply to technical questions asked by the readers to the best of their abilities. Readers can send in their questions to [email protected] The set up is to have 1 gurukul (school) assigned to each of the 7 sages i.e. Saptarishis. The names of the gurukul are assigned to each of the Saptarishis of the present manvantara (era) & within each gurukul there would be one or more teachers. The ideal aim is to have 84 gurukuls for the 84 main rishis. Within each gurukul the faculty members are given below and, depending on their time and schedule, they would come and go. At times we would find their answers wanting and sometimes another teacher can answer particular types of questions better. At the end of the year, if any guru or even a reader feels he has a better answer to the question posted than what another guru has replied, then he or she can send it to us. These answers would be posted anonymous so as not to hurt the seniority of the guru as that should never be anyone’s intention. One must understand that there are numerous branches of astrology and not every guru has concentrated on every branch in-depth. Saptarishis Astrology would normally take care of sending the right set of questions to the right guru so that the readers will get the most appropriate answer. At times, if a Guru feels like giving a short piece of lecture on a topic that is not even asked about, he or she can do that as it will only increase our learning. These gurukuls are not assigned any order of preference & each rishis gurukul is treated alike. Gurus of Saptarishis Gurukul 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.
