Learn from Dr. Vikram Devatha
I am a Vedic Life Coach with over 25 years of experience and trusted by 4 cohorts of students globally. I work at the intersection of astrology, education, business, data science and Vedic studies. I hold a PhD in Vedic Astrology from Shree Maharshi College of Vedic Astrology, and a gold medal in data science from the Indian School of Business. I integrate traditional wisdom with modern structures, and teach you to use your birth chart as a tool to help you reach your goals, rather than for predicting the future.

Frequently asked questions
What are the prerequisites for this course?
This course is designed for students who have a basic understanding of Vedic astrology. Ideally, you are familiar with the foundational concepts including basic Astronomy, Navagrahas, Dualities, Modalities, Elements, the 12 Houses, the Dashavatars of Vishnu and how they are linked to the Navagrahas and basic chart reading. If you're unsure, check with us.
Will the classes be live or recorded?
The course will be delivered through live sessions to allow for real-time interaction, Q&A, and personalized guidance. Recordings of all sessions will be provided for those who can't attend live, so you can review the material at your own pace.
How much time should I dedicate weekly to the course?
Apart than the regular 2-hour weekly calls, students spend 1-2 hours per week on class activities, including assignments, and self-study. This will vary depending on your personal pace and how much time you wish to spend on practice.
What if I can’t attend a live class?
No worries! All classes will be recorded and available to you within 24 hours. You can watch at your convenience and still participate in class discussions.
Will there be any in-person meets in the course?
Yes! The program includes four immersive retreats focused on the nine Navagrahas (planets) in Vedic astrology. These retreats will allow you to deepen your connection with the grahas through mythological stories, practical applications, and various activities. The retreats will be scheduled over the year based on mutual convenience.
Can I join if I’m not located in India?
Absolutely! This course is designed to be accessible to students worldwide. All sessions will be conducted online, and you can participate from anywhere in the world. However, the retreats wont be accessible unless you are willing to travel, as these will be in person. If for any reason you cannot attend a retreat, you can join the next time we offer the same retreat.
How do I get personal feedback on my work?
You will receive personalised feedback through class interactions, assignments, and optional 1:1 coaching sessions. You’ll also be able to ask questions and get guidance during the live sessions.

Program guidelines, terms and conditions
1. Practice before reading charts of others
Students are requested not to read (or even see the) charts for others until they have completed at least three supervised practice sessions with me. For this, I will share my birth details and expect you to conduct three readings. This helps build confidence and ensures you are ready to take on the responsibility of reading charts for others.
2. Webcam on, mic off
Keeping your video on during live sessions is strongly encouraged. It supports engagement, improves learning, and helps build connection within the group.
3. Attendance
Live attendance is required for students who wish to receive certification. If you are not applying for certification, you may choose to learn through recordings. Occasional absence is understandable, but consistent live participation is expected for certification.
4. Use of course material
All videos, recordings, and course materials are provided strictly for personal learning. They may not be copied, reproduced, distributed, or shared in any form without prior permission.
5. Access to live sessions & recordings
Access to live sessions and recordings is limited to the enrolled participant only. Sharing access with others, in any form, is not permitted. You are responsible for ensuring that the material remains protected.
6. Community Conduct (WhatsApp Groups)
Students will be added to WhatsApp groups for learning and discussion. These spaces are meant for meaningful engagement related to the program. Please be mindful of what you share and avoid unrelated content.
7. Financial commitment
The program follows a sliding scale based on trust. You are expected to choose a contribution that reflects your capacity, without misuse of the model. Once agreed upon, your commitment stands, and a seat is reserved for you based on this agreement. All payments must be made as per the agreed schedule. In case of non-payment or delays without prior discussion, I reserve the right to discontinue your participation from the program.
8. Credit & acknowledgment
If you share your work publicly (articles, posts, videos, etc.) based on what you have learned in this program, please give appropriate credit to the program and to my guidance.
9. Learning Pace & Patience
Beyond the weekly sessions, please set aside time for self-study and reflection. This is essential for deeper understanding. This is a long-term learning journey. I am committed to teaching and guiding you through this process, and I expect a sincere commitment from your side as well. It is a gradual and layered learning process. I request your patience as concepts are introduced and built over time.
