One of my brilliant facebook student once queried in my Whatsapp group (Now deactivated) about the possibility of getting depth of Jyotish Vidya without reciting the secret mantra provided by a Guru or if Guru does not provide any mantra.
The answer of this question is clear but for that it is essential to understand the meaning of Jyotish, Guru and Mantra.
(i) The word Jyotish indicates encyclopedic knowledge about divine light
(ii) The word Guru indicates a physical or non physical agency bringing one from tamsik darkness to satvik light and
(iii) Mantra is the wordings of that Guru.
