The first spiritual university that I really know of, Vishwabharati -- Shantiniketan REALized by the Great Gurudeb Robindronath Thakur (aka, Rabindranath Tagore) was created in the free openess of Nature!
Why can we not learn Jyotish in the same sort of open environment?
Why do we need little closets and cloisters or sacrosanctity? That can be and get challenged even by novices? Serious novices, of course! I do not include the others!
I was reading an interesting novel based on the concept of the TV/Internet show -- Kaun Banegaa Karodpati? Who will become the billionaire subject to the currency we love and love to hate!
The novel is about a typical 'loser' who has a bevy of life experiences ranging from being a slum-dweller and an orphan raised by christian priests and way more -- who won the bilionnaire quiz context and then put very quickly in jail because the 'foreighner sponsor' could not pay but had a good sense of how to manipulate the *system* that prevails in a certain country/NATION!
As I am reading it, from a *remote* perspective and taking stock of what I am experiencing on the jyotish and PSYCHIC scene -- internet-wide I am awe-stricken!
I will write more about that book but also HOPEFULLY about how easy it is to learn about Jyotish for which I have a new name now:
COSMIC SYMB.i.OLOGY!

Beginners may find it useful and intermediate astrologers may find some of the things as a helpful refresher.
