Laying the Foundations

Learn to analyse your birth chart and discover your true nature with Astrology, Astronomy, Indian Philosophy and Vedic Mythology

Starting in 2026, join me for a 1-year online program, with 6 in person retreats. This will be a journey into the Stars & Planets of Vedic Astrology, for personal development & finding your true Self.

Why this program?

This is the traditional Indian system of Astrology that will help you in understanding your own birth chart, and decode your personality, strengths and weaknesses, your true purpose, your spiritual path and much more. Astrology101 is my flagship program to get you started on this journey.

Features of the program

A one-year journey that blends structured learning with practical application, helping you understand and experience astrology as a subject, and as a tool for self-realization

Live sessions

This is a 52-week program with one live session each week, lasting 2 hours. Over the year, we cover the four pillars of learning: astrology, astronomy, Vedic philosophy, and Indian mythology, giving you a well-rounded understanding of the subject. Each session is recorded for future reference, and all presentation decks are shared, so you can revisit and deepen your learning at your own pace.

Mentor sessions

The program includes small group sessions held once every two weeks, where you sit with a mentor and revisit what has been covered in class. There is no new teaching in these sessions. The focus is on discussion, clarification, and strengthening your understanding through interaction. It is a space to ask questions, hear different perspectives, and build confidence over time. This is for those who need discussion.

In person retreats

There will be 6 immersive, in-person retreats held over three days (each) near sacred temple spaces in South India. The focus is on experiencing and integrating what we study through body-based practices, group processes, and reflection. It is a space to slow down and bring the learning alive beyond theory.

Value of the program

The value of this 1-year program is INR 75000 to 95,000, taking into account the amount of time, effort, years of study and the overall structure of the 1 year program. In order to make it accessible for all, I offer three contribution tiers:

Basic (for those with financial constraints) - INR 30,000
Standard (what sustains the program) - INR 75,000
Supporter (for those who can support others) - INR 90,000

If money is tight, choose the Basic Tier. If you can pay comfortably, choose Standard. If you are doing well, choose Supporter. If your situation falls between tiers, you are welcome to choose a contribution within that range.

Please don’t choose the lower tier out of habit, as this is meant for genuine need. It is a self-honour system and I trust that you will choose fairly. I won’t be negotiating individual amounts, and we will lock the contribution amount at enrolment time. If it helps, I can offer an instalment option that works for you.

Optionals

As this program has grown, many layers of learning and support have emerged organically. From the next batch onwards (most probably September 2026), these will be offered as "Optionals" that you can choose based on your interest, time, and capacity. These are optionals to deepen your learning. You can choose based on your interest, time, and level of engagement.

Philosophy Sessions

Weekly sessions that bring Vedic wisdom into everyday life in a simple and practical way. Each session explores one idea through stories, reflection, and interaction. The aim is to support not just your learning of astrology, but also clarity and awareness in daily living.

INR 4,000 per year

Immersives

Immersive, in-person retreats held over three days near sacred temple spaces in South India. The focus is on experiencing and integrating what we study through body-based practices, group processes, and reflection. It is a space to slow down and bring the learning alive beyond theory.

INR 20,000 per retreat (incl food, accomodation, local transport, retreat material and facilitation)

Live Readings

A guided space to practice real consultations. You will conduct live readings while I observe and support you with feedback. The focus is on building confidence, clear communication, and applying your knowledge in real situations. This is for those who want to eventually consult for others.

INR 27,000 per year

Certification

Learners who wish to receive formal recognition can opt for certification through an affiliated university. On completion of Years 1 and 2, you will be eligible for a Postgraduate Diploma from a recognised University. On completion of Years 3 and 4, you will be eligible for a Master’s level certification. This is optional and does not affect your learning within the program.

INR 35,000 (exam + certification)

In order to maintain the quality of learning and to ensure that you receive personalised attention, we have limited number of participants in the batch. This ensures more focus, and better group interaction. Since there are limited spots, we will be selecting learners. Please register below, and I will contact you for next steps.

This Program is offered on a sliding scale model, to ensure it is accessible for all. You'll join a community that values Vedic wisdom and self growth. Please contribute what feels fair to you, considering that it supports the continuation and growth of my offering.

“What a wonderful session. Amazing. Need to learn qualities of Planets and Nakshatra by heart. How beautifully you related the planets and nakshatra with the situation and circumstances. Actually this was what I wished to learn from you “ in relative terms” I feel so happy and blessed to connect with you and learn deep into it. In one hr you have given so much. The decades of your research and work. Thank you so much. I clearly understood. And from this session I wanted to know about Aurroville more at its soul level. 🙏🏻 I got all my answers. 🌺🌻🌼🌸 You are a blessed soul. Be blessed, love you"

“aamazing session yesterday Vikram, thank you for sharing your wisdom, i got to see how your mind works even more and how you use Jyotish as a tool for growth and transformation rather than prediction, love it”

It’s so easy to understand every thing with so much clarity. I can learn Integral Yoga and Astrology both in your classes. Your example of river was excellent, loved it. Time flew in your class. One hr was like a short time.
