Jeffrey’s first degree was in Psychology followed by one in Literature. He studied the occult and Metaphysical philosophers of all world cultures until the age of 23 when he met his first Guru from India, His Divine Grace AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Phabhupada, the founder of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness.
Under his supervision, Jeffrey lived in ashrams as a celibate brahmacharya for 5 years serving a wide variety of ashram services including feeding the poor, teaching at universities, cooking, and leading kirtans. He also helped His Grace translate his books: The Bhagavata Purana and other books into English.
In 1973, Jeffrey left the ashram and met his teacher of Vedic Astrology, Jytirvid M.K. Ghandi; from whom he learned the traditional northern style of Vedanga Jyotisha. Since then, Jeffrey has been one of the pioneers of Vedic Astrology in the West specializing in what he calls AyurVedic Astrology. Over the last thirty five years he has counseled and read the charts of thousands of people. Jeffrey also went back to University and got a degree in History and Comparative Religion from the University of California, Santa Cruz, and in the following years studied Sanskrit, Ayurveda and many of the related historical Vedic texts. With his near
photographic memory and speaking eloquence on these topics, he is a treasure house of great spiritual knowledge.
For the last ten years Jeffrey has been teaching the Vedic knowledge full time. He has developed a full curriculum of seminars available in CD format on the Vedic knowledge including: the Ramayana, the Mahabharata, the Bhagavad-gita, the Puranas, the Yoga Sutras, Vedanta, and the Upanishads. He has thousands of students in the West who are learning the Vedic/Hindu Sanatan Dharma.
In addition, Jeffrey travels internationally to major universities, ashrams and corporations as well as to yoga and health spa conferences, teaching about the Vedic culture. He is also an award- winning author and mystical poet. |
