The Jyotisha Mentorship Program
Vedic Astrology is a complex, technical subject that has been compared to a vast ocean. Attempting to learn it from books and even classes can quickly give you the feeling of drowning in a sea of different approaches, and oftentimes conflicting information. To truly gain proficiency an experienced and knowledgeable teacher is needed. I was incredibly blessed in my life to have the mentorship of K.N. Rao, one of the world's foremost teachers and practitioners of Jyotisha, and I benefited immensely from the experience.
Twenty years later, I would like to offer that same benefit to students who recognize the value of individual guidance and a structured, systematic approach to their development as a jyotishi.
I am pleased to announce then the Jyotisha Mentorship Program, a unique individual learning opportunity.
