Welcome

We welcome you to study Jyotisha ज्योतिष in our Gurukulam (teacher- disciple) program. Jyotisha translates as “light on life” since its science provides information to the individual to understand where they are, have been, and could be and the reasons for such. Note – In ancient India, Jyotisha included both astrology and astronomy, herein referred to as either “Jyotisha” or “Astrology”.

Our two Gurukulam programs – Jyotish Alankar (Level 1) and Jyotish Acharya (Level 2) courses are highly experiential. Both programs include theory, application/interpretation with practicum, and research in Jyotisha. These programs are for both students with no prior experience and/or for those seasoned professionals who want to advance further in their skills. Graduates from these programs will improve their and their client’s quality and understanding of life. 

Our Gurukulam method of teaching imparts sacred knowledge of Vedas and instill in every student discipline, technological superiority and ethical standards in order to improve the quality of life of the human race. We strictly follow classical based Jyotisha. We do not endorse views on remedial measures as currently being marketed and sold now a days, except those given in Brihat Parashar Hora shastra. On successful completion of Jyotish Alankar and Jyotish Acharya Course, the students are awarded a Certificate of Completion.

Our education methods will be customized based on the students areas of interest, previous Jyotisha experience, and cover the following topics:
