Feedback about Shri Jyoti Star
'I use it and I'd recommend it to anyone' - Dr David Frawley, President of ACVA, author of 'Astrology of the Seers' and numerous other leading texts on Jyotish and Ayurveda (his contacts)
'Pure Genius. I felt like a Jyotishi reborn when I got your software.' Hart deFouw, author of 'Light on Life'
'I am delighted with your product. My one regret is that I did not come across your package sooner. I will actively encourage my students - even those well established in Jyotish -to adopt your software as their standard. In my opinion, you have developed an outstanding program.' Hart deFouw, author of 'Light on Life' (his site)
'Excellent Software. Precise, technical and indepth. Yet easy to use. Great for beginners and a must for all professionals. This is the only software I use.' Komilla Sutton, author of Essentials of vedic Astrology, Indian Astrology, the Lunar nodes, and more (her site)
"Sri Jyoti Star is used for professional work and its templates and versatile design features are outstanding. Multiple chart views and everything can be customised. It is the ONLY software which gives the Rasi chart the way I always wanted it and had learnt to draw traditionally with the nakshatra and degrees mentioned next to the planets. That way it gives a complete view of the sky in one chart itself. Must for professionals." Sanjay Rath, author of Crux of Vedic Astrology, Jaimini Maharishi's Upadesha Sutras, Narayana Dasha and more (his site)
'Sri Jyoti Star is obviously a work of dedication and love with painstaking attention to astrological detail and accuracy. I have finally found a software package that contains my entire wish list... and much more. Your creation is a true gift to both student and professional.' Brendan Feeley, MA, DAy (ACVA Faculty)
'Shri Jyoti Star continues to be the Vedic program of choice for a growing number of Jyotishis. The incredibly powerful rectification and research features, the huge number of tables and graphs, its ease of use, superb accuracy, rock-solid stability, and frequent enhancements all make Shri Jyoti Star a tremendous value. I give it my highest recommendation.' Mountain Astrologer on the new version 5
'Incredibly powerful, fast, accurate, and stable... easy to learn and easy to use... Shri Jyoti Star is an invaluable asset' American Astrologer, see the whole review
'Better value (than its competitors)' A leading competitor
"Shri Jyoti Star is one of the most flexible and easy to use software programs available for Jyotish! Even more important is the phenomenal customer service and support for the program, provided by Andrew Foss. Response time is always immediate whenever I have needed technical support. The best value for the investment in the category!" Pam McDonough, USA (We can't guarantee that support is always immediate but that is the aim)
'I just wanted to drop you a quick line to say how happy I am with Sri Jyotish, and how drop by drop it is helping me learn. A wonderful feature for the beginner is the ability to select for viewing on the screen/printer only what you have learned, and gradually add new tables or charts as one learns more, so you never feel intimidated despite the enormous depth of the software. Thank you!' Rod, USA
'Thank you so much for all your help, inspiration and the greatest astrology software in the world.' Jyotikar (Tingoo) Pattni
'Thank you for you kind [upgrade] offer and wonderful service. I still find your product the best in its field.' Dr Shankardev Saraswati
'As I have been using Goravani for a very long time and am testing his latest Jyotish Suite vs 3.0, I have always been attracted toward some features that I had problem finding elsewhere like relocation tool. It was a very hard decision for me to choose between SJS and PL, but I am happy that I chose your product. You have done a very nice job...' - unsolicited comment
'Brilliant' 'Brilliant and superb' 'Intuitive' - unsolicited comments from ACVA faculty
‘I want to compliment you on your very clean design. It is very coherent and non-complex in its feel. Your program is at the opposite end of the spectrum from (one leading competitor) ***. I also compliment you on your attitude of service. Your timely and kind responses are very reassuring…Again, here you are at the opposite end of the spectrum from (the other leading) competitor: ***. You are a real standout!’ - Unsolicited email
The ability to conveniently examine the natal and transit horoscopes together is extremely helpful. Jonathan, USA
'I discovered the really fantastic time search facility of Sri Jyoti Star. I could not imagine that an astrological software could contain it.' Roberto Fantechi, Italy
The Jyotishi of one of the world's largest and most important Ashrams who has all available Vedic software described Shri Jyoti Star as 'exciting' and 'likely to be very popular' and a great research tool.
An agent for another very popular VA software program said, after only a few minutes looking at the software, '(Shri Jyoti Star) has more features than **** ****. When can I buy it?' (he did)
'I'm absolutely thrilled with your software! John just got it running for me yesterday and it's superlative! So versatile, so comprehensive, so quick, so easy to use, so, so, so--I can't express myself with enough superlatives! I feel as if I've received a wonderful present--one of the kind where there are nests of boxes within boxes of little treasures--that I can go on unwrapping for a long time before I get to the end. There is so much in it--I've had it for less than 24 hours and already my "mind is blown" with all the possibilities! Thank you, thank you so much and I pray you will get the rewards you deserve for giving this to the world.' - unsolicited email from a client, USA
'Shri Jyoti Software appeared far beyond my expectations; congratulated with this marvellous program!!' Frank Appelman, Austria
'Hello Andrew. I would like to congratulate you (and myself) with this
great program. My study of Vedic Astrology will receive through it an enormous

Relocation tool for Vedic Astrology astrocartography – uniquely powerful. Unlike other software which restricts you to the cardinal points such as Midheaven, etc. you can study the effect of 'being' anywhere including the effects of all the planets and all the houses and all the varga positions. Vedic astrologers who have studied relocation have found the Navamsa effect to be of special importance.
Secondary and Tertiary progressions allowing you to use these techniques in a Vedic context. Also some key Arabic Parts such as the part of fortune.
Full ACS PC Atlas data. Longitudes, latitudes, time zones and time change data for more than 250,000 locations around the globe. The world standard for astrological work.
Work with exact Varga positions. Lay any Varga chart on top of any other. See exact resonances. This is incredibly powerful especially for studying relationships as well as for individual charts and transits.
Import 'Quick Chart' format files – the popular standard for astrological databases as well as Visual Jyotish files. Also, import records exported from Parashara's Light.
Run time and watch the planets flowing over the natal chart while monitoring any combination of tables, charts and graphs including many cross-analysis tables and graphs. For instance, graph the Sambandhas or strong links between the natal and transit (or any comparison) chart. Watch the exact cross-aspects as they change either in a table or a graph. Monitor the details of the Panchang.
Experiment with time flow using Navamsa transits - it is amazing! Particularly, for the transit effects of Saturn and Jupiter. Spot effects you would otherwise miss. Try Dwadashamsha transits and other vargas or divisions.
