I have learned so much from all of you, and for this holiday season, I want to learn even more.

Please consider writing an essay that describes how the practice of Jyotisha has impacted your 2020 year.

If you win, others will see your anonymous work, and you will receive a cash prize.

Who is eligible: students and clients of Renay who are 18 years of age or older as of December 5, 2020 who have had a class or appointment with Renay between  January 1, 2017 and December 5, 2020.

Prizes: One grand prize: $500. One first prize: $200 One second prize: $50.  All winning entries will be posted anonymously on this website: AyurAstro.com. By entering, you agree to this posting of your work. (Of course, you may publish the essay yourself also!)

How to enter: Write an essay of between 500 and 2500 words on the topic of how the practice of Jyotisha has impacted your 2020 year.
