At 13, Anand founded what became a leading center for astrological research in India, Praajina Jyotisha Institute. His prediction of the 2020 pandemic captured global attention, with his YouTube channel drawing over 90M views, reigniting global interest in Vedic wisdom. Through ancient scriptures and spiritual philosophy, his work reveals how planetary alignments mirror the rhythms of collective transformation.Our conversation begins by exploring the foundations of Vedic astrology – how celestial patterns speak through timeless scriptures, our individual Karma and capacity for doing good, and our relationship with a world that games our attention and narrows the space for doubt and deeper questioning.On the back half, the conversation deepens as we circumambulate the cyclical nature of progress and prosperity in our shared history, human potential and hubris, reflections on The Bhagavad Gita, and how Ayurveda's ancient understanding of our relationship with nature holds keys for modern healing. We close with a healing prayer for those carrying despair, path towards peace, and finding treasures when we turn inward – when we dare to open both mind and heart.00:00 - About Abhygia Anand00:45 - Theme: cosmos and psyche02:33 - Key reflection04:10 - Vedic astrology(Joytisha) 08:35 - Intuition and seeing patterns15:26 - Foreseeing what may happen17:12 - Individual agency and free will21:46 - The pressure of absolute certainty24:17 - Debunking and the age of attention-capture in the media26:34 - The cyclical nature of human history31:22 - Factfulness, progress, and prosperity34:52 - Personal journey with The Bhagavad Gita42:09 - Learning astrology in the early years43:49 - Facing criticism 44:34 - Ayurveda, harmony with nature, and India48:32 - Prayer for healing53:11 - A moment of wholeness57:06 - Final ThoughtsLEARN MORE: happenuspod.comSTAY IN TOUCH(@happenuspod)Instagram| Twitter/X | YoutubeOriginal illustration by Kay Lam.
