The Birla Center for Hast Jyotish

Located in the heart of Westmount, Quebec, the Palmistry Center was established in 1972 by Ghanshyam Singh Birla. Ghanshyam is a renowned palmist and author of several books, including Love in the Palm of Your Hand, published by Inner Traditions & Bear Co., and has been translated into many languages.

The Birla Center for Hast Jyotish has been accredited by the Federal Government of Canada as an educational facility. We now offer our Introduction to Palmistry Course Online and at our Health Retreat.
