Jyotisha in this Approach, as the 5th ‘Medicinal Decoction’:

In this new approach, Jyotisha [Vedic astrology], also provides another Hindu ‘medicinal decoction’ that has the potency to dispel the demons in man’s consciousness-demons such as maya, avidya, ahankara, and a whole host of other kindred ones.

I had been studying Vedic astrology, for twelve years, moving rather unsuccessfully & restlessly back and forth, many a time, between the classical astrological works in the Hindu world, and the works of modern Jyotishis like Pandit Vamadeva Shastri, and several others, for I was in search of a self-consistent and comprehensive understanding of Jyotisha, as a Vedic discipline of learning.

All too suddenly, when I stumbled upon the Systems Approach to Hindu Astrology, founded by Professor V K Choudhry; masses of pervasive black clouds of confusion were instantaneously dispelled, leaving me in a profound state of learning and seeing; to such a remarkable extent that for me verily, Jyotisha now began to serve me as the third eye, it has given me a new darsana, or world-view, of which moksha is an integral part. It is for this reason that I am particularly grateful to Professor V K Choudhry, for it was through his remarkable Systems Approach [SA], that I was able to instantaneously bridge a number of gaping chasms in my comprehensive understanding of Jyotisha. In my original work, Sri Ramana Maharshi’s Moksha (2009), I have boldly bridged the existing gulf between the spiritual spheres of life and modern Jyotisha- which has tended to over-emphasize artha & kama, to the detriment of the spiritual spheres, dharma & moksha.
