This course is designed to help absolute beginners learn about the fundamentals of Vedic astrology before they move to advanced level course. Vedic astrology or Jyotish is a Vedanga or one of the limbs of the Vedas. The word ‘Veda’, comes from the root ‘vid’ means Knowledge. The Vedas are said to hold the ultimate wisdom of life, death and the beyond. But the Vedas themselves are too complex because of the subject they deal with. Hence, to understand the Vedas, some other fields of study had to come first knowing which would make a person qualified to read and understand the Vedas. Hence came the Vedanga or the six limbs of the Vedas which are areas one needs to qualify to be worthy of reading the Vedas. Jyotish, literally meaning ‘divine light’ is the field of study that deals with the past, present and future. It looks at knowledge through years and generations, beyond geography and time. The fundamental pillars of Vedic astrology are the Graha (Planets), Rashis (Zodiac signs), Bhavas (Houses), Karma System (cosmic response to our actions).etc. This course will provide an introduction to each of these topics, so as to help you get prepared to enroll in advanced Level courses.
