Jyoutiṣa, one of the six vedāńgas is considered as the eyes of vedapuruṣa. The triṇetratā (three eyes) is not just popular with certain deities but it is evident even with our śāstras. Especially a śāstra deemed as the eyes of vedapuruṣa. Hence we hear “triskandham jyoutiṣam”. In these three skandhas namely siddhānta, samhitā, and horā the essence of jyoutiṣa exists.

The essence of all traditional knowledge systems in bhāratavarṣam essentially is aligned with paramapuruṣārtha, mokṣa. The four phases of life must be experienced by all to fulfil the four puruṣārthas. The fourth avasthā known as turīya or samādhi is the pinnacle of human life.

This lecture series aims at both understanding fundamental principles amd thoughts existent in the three skandhas of jyoutiṣam as well as their orientation towards samādhi, the pinnacle of yoga.
