  • Nītiśāstra encompasses the philosophical branch of ethics and moral responsibilities from the Vedic viewpoint. Its ultimate aim is to promote societal well-being and balance.

    In this engaging and informative panel, the panelists will examine Nītiśāstra specifically within the context of its use in Jyotiṣa through the lens of relationship astrology.

    The panelists will discuss various complicated ethical scenarios which professional Astrologers may face in their consulting fields, and review their best practices which aid in maintaining a high level of integrity within Vedic Astrology.

    Scenarios discussed will include: 

    -Ethical and moral obligations of the astrologer in discussing relationship compatibility points with clients.
    -Ethical responsibilities of the astrologer in delivering counsel with life changing impacts (like clients wanting to break their marriage).
    -What is the moral and ethical obligation of the astrologer in situations where there is evidence of abuse or extramarital affairs?
    -To what extent should an astrologer disclose information about their relationship partners (either consenting or non-consenting)?

    Nine scenarios are presented. Attendees are divided into groups are given three minutes to discuss each scenario. After each discussion volunteers share their views. Group discussion segments in the recording are played back at high speed (16X).
