Read some of the questions I frequently get asked
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 accesible 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.

You will receive personalized 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.
