What does the word jyotish mean?
The word “jyoti” means a flame or a light. It’s the light which shines down from the heavens and provides us with the ability to see physically and also to look deeper into the subtle energies of life. The suffix “sh” means best or wisest. Therefore, the word jyotish may be translated as “the science of light” or “the wisdom of the heavens”. By illumining our inner light, we can remove darkness and ignorance and reveal the truth about our lives.
