Astrology for a better life – Dr Theja
- Publisher: Dr Theja
- Total Episodes: 16
I will be 70 years old in April 2021. In 1971 at the age of 20, I left Sri Lanka on a scholarship to pursue higher studies in Germany. In 1982, after my PhD, I became a lecturer at the faculty of Mineralogy at the University of Berlin. In 1991, my wife, two children and I migrated to Perth, Australia. From 1992-1995 I was time to time engaged by United Nations and Commonwealth Secretariat as an Advisor on precious minerals and worked in Ghana, West Africa. Since 1976 I have been very intrigued by Vedic Astrology and spent a lot of time learning about this unique science. As a result of my interest, I started to offer Astrology readings, as a hobby, in 1991. Eventually, that hobby became a professional platform and for the past 30 years, I have provided over 10,000 readings to clients globally. I am happy to see that there are so many individuals who have heard about Indian Vedic Astrology and are willing to learn about and investigate their Vedic Horoscope. If this is a topic that interests you, please spend some time listening to my podcasts, browse my website, or watch the videos on my YouTube channel. All these platforms have information which will help you to understand the uniqueness of this science and how I offer my consultations. My intention in introducing this podcast and my YouTube Channel is to share what I have learnt through my Astrology consultations and to consequently inspire non-believers to understand the value of this predictive science. Vedic Astrology is able to help individuals to be more content and happy through identifying their personality strengths. I also enjoy sharing the life experiences that I have gained through my almost 50 years of extensive travels and I want to inspire individuals by sharing how I have overcome certain challenges in my life.
