When I have a question about my life, I make sure that I discuss that with Bisariyaji. He is an experienced and technically accomplished astrologer with strong predictive instincts. He has been on the teaching faculty of the Institute of Astrology Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan, New Delhi since March 1997. He underwent the two-year astrology program here from 1993 to 1995. Before induction into the faculty in March 1997, he was picked by Mr. K.N. Rao as sectional editor of the bi-monthly magazine, Journal of Astrology www.journalofastrology.com/. During his wide-ranging research under the guidance of Mr. K.N.Rao in 95-97, he wrote detailed astro-sketches on Dr. Rajendra Prasad, the first President of India and Ram Krishan Dalmia, a top industrialist of the pre-independence era. These richly detailed works won him instant recognition in the community of astrologers. He also wrote several articles for the Journal and contributed to several group research projects. His book, Indian Marriage in Modern Urban Educated Society, published in October 2008, is regarded as a path-breaking exploration of marital astrology.He has been writing the monthly Newsletter at www.journalofastrology.com since 2009. He has contributed many research articles. Presently he is teaching Mundane Astrology because of his deep interest in current affairs and international relations. He teaches other subjects also in Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan and guides a class of research scholars here every Sunday. He visits Russia, Japan, Taiwan and Singapore every year for astrological teaching.

Guruji is a humble soul. Guruji had his horoscope read at the age of 20. After talking about many different things the astrologer, Nancy, pulled out an ephemeris and table of houses and without any explanation started to teach him how to calculate horoscopes. She then gave him  the books necessary to calculate a horoscope and sent him on his way wondering, “what am I supposed to do with these big fat books?” A year later he had his answer when heartbroken from a rough relationship he turned to astrology for all the answers and found them there, upon which he decided to give up his natural healing career and devote his life to astrology.

   Guruji vigorously studied Western Astrology for 3 years, after which he felt unsatisfied and being at a loss at what to do, he followed up on the feeling that he should go and live in an Ashram for 8 months. Six weeks after arriving there he had a dream on the night of his 25th birthday that prompted him to purchase a copy of Brihat Parashara Hora Sastra, one of the foundation books of Vedic-Astrology. From that day forward in 1995 he has devoted his life to studying the astrology hidden and tucked away in the books found only in India. Thanks to the ashram meditation schedule, Ernst rapidly learned Vedic Astrology and after leaving the Ashram in late 1995 Ernst started to read horoscopes and teach Vedic Astrology.

            Since then he has published four books and written thousands of pages for his course manuals. Ernst has taught extensive and very involved courses on Vargas, Dasas, Muhurta, Jaimini Sutras, Transits, Avasthas, Varshaphala, Brihat Parashara Hora Sastra, Compatibility, Medical Astrology, Rahu and Ketu, and rectification. All Ernst’s courses and books are available at www.vedic-astrology.net and www.astrology-videos.com.

            Jaimini Sutras is one of Guruji’s favourite branches of astrology. In order to study Jaimini thoroughly and originally, Ernst began to learn Sanskrit in 2000 after being unsatisfied with the available translations. Since then Ernst has made many ground breaking researches in Jaimini techniques. He  has also made ground breaking researches in the areas of compatibility, Muhurta, Parashara’s Avasthas, Shad Bala, Varshaphala, medical astrology, gem therapy, transits and divisional charts.

In conjunction with his wife, Srishti, Guruji has developed Kala Vedic Astrology Software, a multi language software popular in the US, Germany, Russia, Hungary, Iran and Israel. Guruji and Srishti have also developed online report software for both themselves and third parties. Some of these reports are available at www.vaultoftheheavens.com.

As his friends always tell him, “even Ernst can’t use his brain 24 hours a day.” So when he is not thinking about astrology Guruji spends his time hiking with his wife and children, riding bikes, practising martial arts, weight lifting, gardening, or working with his hands on cars, bicycles, painting, jewellery and even watches. Ernst believes that good diet, exercise, manual skill development and good hard labor are critical for everyone and that doing these things helps maintain a balance that provides better functioning of the brain, emotions and spirit.
