My
name is Gamini Dissanayake and I have been studying Jyotish (Vedic
Astrology or the Science of Light) and psychology for over 20
years.
I was initiated by my late father DMA Dissanayake who was a student
of Buddhist Philosophy and Buddhist Mindology and who was inspired
by the works of Carl Jung and great Vedic astrologers, Suryanarayan
Rao and B.V.Raman.
Over the years, I
have come to understand how Karma manifests through one's birth
chart. I have also been a broadcaster, foreign correspondent,
and an activist (for social justice and for protecting the environment)
and I have recently earned diplomas and certificates in child
psychology, psychology and social work (Stafford College, Montreal.
Canada), and Radio and Television Arts at Ryerson Polytechnic
University of Toronto, Canada.
From February 1999
to November 23, 2001, I went back to my home country, Sri Lanka,
to research for a book entitled Astrology, Collective Deaths
and Destiny to be published later this year. I am the Jyotish
columnist for the Sri Lankan Sunday Observer in Colombo and I
also write a weekly column for the Jyotish online magazine, Jyotish
Discovery. These are some of the places I have worked
in the past:
