Faculty Profile: Originally from Trivandrum, Kerala, India, Dr. Kesavan (Kesi) Nair graduated from I.I.T.-
Kharagpur, received his Ph. D. in Nuclear Engineering from the University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida, USA,
in 1970. He moved to Brazil the same year, and worked as Professor and Researcher in Rio De Janeiro and Sao
Paulo. With his passion for astrology and integrative medicine, Dr. Nair learned Jyotish (Vedic Astrology) with
guidance from several reputed astrologers in India (Kerala), and developed his own Vedic Astrology software
(JATAKA). Since 1984, he has been practicing professionally, and since 1992, teaching basic courses in Jyotish
(Vedic Astrology) to Brazilian students. In addition to leading seminars and courses on advanced topics in Vedic
Astrology, Dr. Nair has practiced Homeopathy (and other alternative therapeutic methods) for over 25 years.
As Taksha Professor of Jyotish and Integrative Medicine, Dr. Nair will teach for the first time in the USA
(Hampton Roads area), this Introductory Basic Course on Jyotish, using his software.

As follow-up to this basic course, Dr. Nair will set up a monthly study group of students taking this course that he will guide online
via Webex from Brazil. In addition, he has agreed to conduct a limited number of optional chart readings (for a separate charge).

All proceeds from registration fees, product sales, and charitable contributions support the educational and research programs of
Taksha University, a 501(c)3 not-for-profit educational institution established in 1976 in Hampton, VA.
