Guru: The Light of Knowledge A Vedic Astrological Perspective by Karanam Kiran Kumar
“Guru: The Light of Knowledge – A Vedic Astrological Perspective” is a profound exploration of the sacred teacher principle—Guru Tattva—as revealed in the Vedas, the Upanishads, and Jyotisha (Vedic astrology).
The Guru is the eternal guide who leads the soul from ignorance to illumination. In astrology, this role is embodied by Bṛhaspati (Jupiter), the planet of wisdom, benevolence, and divine grace. Through a blend of scriptural insight and astrological analysis, this book unveils how the Guru operates in both the cosmos and the human psyche.
Drawing from classical sources and modern exemplars, author Kiran Kumar Karanam presents illuminating case studies of revered teachers—ancient sages like Vyasa and Adi Shankaracharya, and modern masters like Vivekananda, Sri Aurobindo, and Ramana Maharshi—to decode the astrological signatures that mark a noble teacher’s soul.
This work invites readers to reflect on their own relationship with knowledge, learning, and spiritual guidance. It is both a spiritual study and a Jyotish textbook, tracing how the light of the Guru manifests through Jupiter’s influence in one’s chart, and ultimately within the heart of every seeker.
“Gu” means darkness, “Ru” means remover—Guru is the one who dispels the darkness of ignorance.
