Dear Friend,
There is a beautiful verse in the Ṛgveda that describes how the ancient seers "fashioned speech with their mind, filtering it like grain through a sieve."
It suggests that true understanding isn’t something we just inherit fully formed; it’s something we clarify slowly, through a cycle of questioning, observing, and reflecting. It’s a process of refinement.
When I started studying astrology over 15 years ago, I had a lot of questions but not many answers. I wanted to know the why behind the structure and the rationale behind everything and how raw astronomical data ever became so deeply intertwined with philosophy and symbolism.
Chasing those answers naturally took me off the usual path. I started diving into the Vedas, traditional cosmology, and the older textual layers that are the "root system" for Jyotiṣa. This immersion eventually became the foundation of my teaching.
My Flagship Diploma in Indian Astrology is the result of that long process. While I’ve been teaching this specific curriculum for about a year now, the material itself is the distillation of 15 years of study and practice.
I didn’t want to create a course that just handed out some techniques or interpretive shortcuts. My goal was to build a solid, honest foundation which helps you understand not just what the tradition says, but the cosmic framework it actually grows from so know the profound truth behind our own existence within this universe. According to me, Jyotiṣa is a way of seeing time and human experience that is an integral part of the cosmos and through Jyotiṣa, we understand our own place in this vast expanse!
If this deeper, more mindful approach to awareness resonates with you, I’d be honoured to have you join me in the programme.
The next batch of the Diploma course begins on November 28.
Enrolments will likely close shortly before the course begins so that I can give proper attention to the incoming cohort and maintain the structure of the programme.
