About Me

Željko Krgović was born in Montenegro in 1980. At the age of twenty, he began practicing Transcendental Meditation, marking the beginning of a profound inner journey. From that moment, the principle of Ahimsa (non-violence) became the foundation of his life. His spiritual search deepened through the study of the Bhagavad Gītā with the commentary of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi and the Yoga Vaśiṣṭha.

In 2004, Željko began his study of Jyotiṣa Śāstra at the Śrī Jagannāth Center, Serbia, where he met many like-minded seekers of truth. From 2008 to 2015, he attended the Mahāṛṣi Jaimini Upadeśa Sūtra Program (JSP) under the guidance of Visti Larsen and received the Jaimini Scholar Certificate from the Devaguru Brihaspati Center in 2015. This training opened a new horizon in Vedāṅga Jyotiṣa, revealing the perfect harmony between astrology and spiritual discipline.

After completing the JSP, Željko attended two Advanced Jaimini Sūtra Programs (JSPA) in Malta, where Pt. Sanjay Rath revealed deeper layers of the sacred Sūtras.

In parallel, Željko pursued Mantra Śāstra under the guidance of Pt. Sanjay Rath. He completed three modules of Mantra Śāstra, beginning in 2013 with Śāradā Tilakam as the foundational text, followed by advanced studies on sound, Graha Devatās, and remedial applications for life’s challenges.

He also completed the Parāśara Jyotiṣa Course, earning the title Jyotiṣa Paṇḍita, and since 2020, he has been serving as a mentor for the same course. In addition, Željko attended three courses on Śiva Mahāpurāṇa, enriching his understanding of Śaiva philosophy and spiritual symbolism.

Since 2006, all his professional and personal efforts have been dedicated to Jyotiṣa and spirituality. His papers Kāṇṭaka Śani and Aṣṭa Siddhi were published in Jyotish Digest. He has presented his work at international conferences in New Delhi (2006) and Serbia (2005 & 2006), SJC Conferencies and BAVA anual conference (2025)

Since 2008, Željko has been actively teaching Jyotiṣa and giving consultations. He teaches regularly—both in person and online—sharing the wisdom received from his Gurus, Pt. Sanjay Rath and Visti Larsen. He is currently working on the Phaladīpikā, seeking to bridge the teachings of the Paramparā with the insights of the great Mantreśvara.

Spiritually, Željko draws great inspiration from Swami Vivekananda and the Ramakrishna Mission. In 2013, he received Gāyatrī Dīkṣā, and his entire sādhana is centered on Guru-upāsanā, seeing life itself as Sevā to Parameṣṭhi Guru.

Željko lives in Vienna, Austria, with his wife Ivana, a professor of Spanish and French, and their three children—two daughters and a son.
