Please take 10 minutes to read this. You are minutes away from a course of study that will change your life. RU Ready?
It’s true… There’s a new and different way for you to read astrology charts correctly and speak with 100% confidence when doing so.
It’s called THE P5 SYSTEM (See Why Below)
And it’s very different from the common methods you’re likely familiar with because of how it takes the guesswork out of reading astrology charts correctly by tapping into the prioritizing, sequencing and frameworks of yoga and Indian spirituality.
And as you’ll see, it sensibly organizes all of the astrological information and easily explains your karma and why you’re here – so you can relax into your True nature, and be the person you were meant to be.
BEST PART OF IT ALL
It doesn’t require you to spend years and years listening to different “YouTube geniuses” contradict each other or spend tons of money, only to get more confused.
And you can even impress your friends and family with how much you know about astrology even though in the past you have sounded silly when you tried to explain astrology. 😂 LOL,.. admit it!
So, if you want to read astrology charts correctly and speak with 100% confidence when doing so, pay close attention to what I’m about to share with you.
* You are meant to know Vedic astrology.
It is not just fortune-telling or something that can help you live a happy life. Whether you become a Vedic astrologer or not is not the point. Vedic Astrology is the study of HOW and WHY you incarnated and HOW the Cosmos works.
* Yes, you can do it
It is not too complicated for you. I know you believe that, but I will prove to you that it is just not true.
By the time I started to study astrology seriously, I was lost.
I had been practicing meditation and Indian energetics for years, since 1983. Most of this early "study" was practicing meditation techniques form the books of Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh, later called "Osho".
The Tantric meditations healed my young broken heart.
As a child of divorce, with 2 parents who never loved each other and who had a lot of personal problems, I came into the world with a lot of anger, pain and frustration. Meditation was (and is) the healing balm. But by the late 90's I had gotten separated from my spiritual Self.
I had been pursuing a career in music. But the truth is – I was just a lost, broke, “musician” going nowhere.
A pretty pathetic character indeed!
Then, an unexpected "LUCKY" break
Then the divine intervened, I LOST MY DAY JOB! This gave me the space to pursue what I had abandoned years before.
At first, I focused on Yoga and meditation, because that was my path from years before. It was great to teach & reconnect to spirit that way. I taught many yoga classes per week for a few years while I was doing astrology research. I also focused on music and played Kirtan concerts every 2 weeks for a couple of years. Kirtan is devotional Indian music.
Astrology Eventually Wins Out
,…eventually astrology took over and became the #1 Thing. I loved teaching yoga and loved playing music, but Vedic astrology was my passion.
This lead to years of solitary research, leading to my first book, “The Ascendant – 108 Planets of Vedic Astrology”. But during this time, I was dealing with one huge problem – and I know you can relate.
There was no system or professional training available
Like you, I was very inspired by the rhythms of the cosmos and fascinated by how it was all reflected in the charts.
There was so much to learn. There were so many details to get straight :: I would listen to teachers, in awe, and wish that I could also read charts.
But most of what I was hearing from those teachers was not resonating with me at all. (Not to be critical of others, but it is true) Either it was too “fatalistic” and closed-ended or it was too “airy fairy” and not specific enough. So much was focused on materiality and predictions, etc.
Teachers were confused, with no system. Some were even confused about things as basic as the Zodiac.
I had a long history with it already - and did not hear much “Vedic Wisdom” from other teachers I was listening to.
That didn't stop me from getting the Certifications that were available to me. But frankly, they did not mean anything.
Empty Certifications - No SYSTEM - So I Built One.
Those Certifications were just memorizing details with no system of how to actually practice astrology.
So, I went back to MY basics, of Yoga and meditation and just dug into the source texts (which led to my first book). I saw what was making every thing happen, based on organizing (then going deeply) into a few key principles first. To my shock and surprise, it worked!
I had stumbled onto a rock-solid system that was based on a pure interpretation of the Classic texts. But to be honest, it was being in the presence of my SatGuru Amma that brought the texts to life for me. I am not saying this in a "Religious" context/"Belief in Her". Being in the presence of a living embodiment of the teachings, (Astrological, Yogic, etc.) brought all of the energy to life in ME! And it clarified to me what was missing from the teachings I was hearing.
The first idea that I realized is this:
"Astrology is not something Up There, It is something In Here."
This validated what I had always known about life / oneness etc.. From my earliest days.
What had been frustrating me so much about astrology and what I was hearing,.. Boiled down to this.
I Thought We Are All "One" Energy
We are all supposed to be one,.. One energy.
Then we start to study astrology and everything is "Good and Bad".
Good planets and bad planets.
Good Karma and Bad Karma.
What if "The Truth" is still TRUE, even in Astrology?,.. And it is all part of the "Divine Lila" (Play of God's Grace) – and working out the way it is supposed to?
What if Astrology is just a showing different moods of the Divine Mother – and all of the planets are divine? Some lessons are harder because we are still immature.
What a concept!
Sitting at the feet of Amma, watching HER divine moods for hours and days and years not only made this a "belief",.. It made it factual for me – and confirmed my decades of practice.
With new found inspiration, confidence and a new "lifestyle", I set out to do my best. So I took a leap of faith into a "Career Path" that was unknown to me in a very expensive City, San Francisco.
I started doing astrology full-time – mostly doing readings. But quickly began teaching – as my heart has always resonated more with "teaching people to fish".
This led to my first full “System” Course in 2006 with a select group of Students. It was a trial run, but people loved it. Then I launched the first formal Certification course in 2008. Then in 2010 Dattatreya Shiva Baba (Dr. Pillai) hired me to teach the same course to his students. Then in 2012 I relaunched the Course in a semester format, with homework and full contact. Then in 2018 the course was later improved into its current form to give full access to all material and bonuses and monthly conference calls.
Also In 2018, Sri Sri Ravi Shankar published my book "Yoga and Vedic Astrology" after noticing the rapid progress of his long-time student under my tutelage.
What does this have to do with you?
So, what does it all have to do with you, and the reason you are here Today?
You should know, these courses are the result of decades of teaching & life experience. They have been tested for decades & validated at the highest level, by astrologers and other spiritual teachers.
I am not still trying to “figure it out". The trial runs have been done! These classes and methods work.
Not just for me, but for thousands of people just like you. Teachers would not trust just anyone with their students!
-- BIG PROBLEM #3: No Confidence - "So Complicated" to Learn. 😩
I thought this too because I was following the "Memorization,.." model above. It is not that complicated if you have a system. One of the things that makes me kind of angry is this idea that so many students have now, that they need to be "gifted" in order to learn. That is not true. This course has been time-tested and use to certify more than 500 students. It is like any college-level course.
YOU CAN DO IT!
"Astrology Teachers" can confuse you more
I know why you think it is so complicated, because you have been told that, whether explicitly or implicitly. Meaning, so many times you have listened to a teacher and thought they were brilliant, but YOU do not understand. So you think it was YOUR FAULT that you did not understand.
IT IS NOT YOUR FAULT THAT TEACHERS ARE CONFUSING YOU.
#1 - If you have been "Snacking", STOP! You have gathered enough information! 😃
Your biggest problem is you need to organize all of the data you have gathered. You will not be able to do Vedic astrology well unless you understand the Vedic concepts. That's why the we start with an entire course with four master classes on Indian concepts.
Your Soul's Evolution
Knowing these frameworks deeply, allows you to notice how the principles behind astrology AND life. Once this happens, you start working on higher and higher leverage principles, which permeate your entire life. Then astrology stops just being something you are using to try to figure yourself out. You need to think bigger.
#4 - More Connected to Spirit, Self and Community 😎
The need to practice with peers and plug-in to community (called "Satsang") is Crucial. It is hard to find these days. It is not hard to find "people online" now to talk to or "listen to". But it is very hard to find "Satsang", a gathering of the WISE – a group of people we should be listening to. Compare this type of "Community" to the chat section of youtube or Facebook. That is the "illusion of community" and is likely DISconnecting you from truth.
And it keeps growing everyday
At our school, we mostly have our "Satsang" online. Then once a month meet in person. The Vedic Astrology family is so important. We also meet live on Zoom calls to discuss specific questions and share. We also meet in person at conferences to reconnect person to person. Great friendships are formed and our skills reinforced at these times. We even had our first Faculty Conference
Priority and Sequence - After you correctly use these principles, to understand the basic mechanics of the chart, then you need to prioritize those principles and deploy them in the proper sequence. You use "priority and sequence" in your life all the time, with things you do successfully. Imagine trying to make an omelette, but doing things in the wrong order or in the wrong measure. Imagine dumping 5 teaspoons of salt in the pan first, then stirring it with a fork, then turning on the burner, then cracking the egg. YUM! Guess what, when I hear most people talk about astrology, this is how it sounds to me. After a while, those strange approaches will jump out at you also. This is really the secret sauce to the subtlety and nuance necessary to be a great astrologer.
Practice with Peers - lastly, you need to practice these methods, in a safe environment, with others who have learned the same systems and who understand the science. There's no substitute for the "Satsang" or "gathering of the wise", especially when you first begin to learn a complicated science like astrology. That's why the certification course, and in all my courses, I set up an exclusive member forum for you. So, you can relax and rest assured that all of your questions will get answered, either by me or other trained teachers.
Your Weekly Learning Ritual
Each week you can digest the next 90 minute video, that I have recorded for you, based on the lesson plan and schedule detailed below. You will move together through the week's lesson - and your week's manual. You will watch this at your leisure and when you have the "mental space" to fit in. You will likely develop a "study time ritual" with the video trainings.
After you have sufficiently digested the information, you will do that week's homework assignment. You will ask any questions in the exclusive member forum, and usually get an answer within 24 hours (if you have a question). You will also have the benefit / encouragement of the other students in the class, so you stay constantly connected to the teachings.
You will find this learning arrangement to be a surprising combination of structure, consistency, autonomy, freedom, convenience and support. You will feel yourself challenged yet supported at every turn.
Then once a month we will me on a Zoom Call to discuss and stay inspired.
Revolutionary Learning Format
This course features a revolutionary online learning model that I have been developing for close to 15 years. I taught my first online class in 2004 and since then I have taught close to 15 courses.
With the ease of online video now - our options for connection are even better than they were before. Research proves that online video is much more engaging than just audio recordings and electronic manuals. Being able to see eye to eye builds a much deeper level of engagement. Plus you can replay the videos over and over if you need to.
Audio recordings will also be provided - so you can take the classes with you in the car or for a walk.
The class format leverages the most powerful quality of each medium - so it delivers the most impact, convenience - and allows me to pass on enormous savings to you.
In the course you will get:
1 Video Class each week so you can digest the material without getting overwhelmed
Homework assigned that you can check yourself.
Group conference / video calls each month.
Constant contact and discussions, as needed, in the exclusive members only forum.
Realize this:
Even 5-10 years ago it was not possible to deliver weekly videos that could be watched online. They would have needed to be on a DVD or a VHS tape - which was very expensive - having to manufacture and ship weekly DVD's would be insane.
Just think of how expensive 50 hours of video on DVD or VHS would cost. Now you pay for none of that, but you are still getting as much VALUE - and I still must make those videos, manuals, upload them, etc.
I am glad that I can pass on the saved manufacturing and shipping costs to you, especially since I can still deliver massive value.

~ Module 1 - Introduction to Indian Science
You will learn how the ancient Vedic texts, such as the rig Veda and the other Vedas led to other groups of texts, such as the Upahishads and Brahmanas. Then, how those texts led to the Puranas ( those that explain deities such as Lord Shiva, etc.). Then, how they lead to the great classics such as the Maha Barata and the Ramaya., And how those texts eventually led to the great Vedic sciences, such as yoga, Ayurveda and Vedic astrology.Universal principles such as the five elements, the 3 GUnas, The Chakras, Koshas, Karma and Dharma will be discussed at length, giving a large frame for the Vedic astrology practice. It is impossible to grasp the Vedic concepts without this knowledge and understanding of the history of Santana Dharma, Indian philosophy.
6 Classes - Topics Covered:

Also, principles unique to the astrology signs are focused on in greater depth. They include, the modalities, the castes.
There's a great emphasis on looking at "planets and signs". We are looking at charts the entire course, beginning with this module. Thus, immediately you learn how to compare Gunas, elements, modalities and motivations between planets and signs.
Other important concepts include the planetary order in how spirit takes form, exultation and debilitation points are examined in the synthesis is achieved as planets and signs are compared and contrasted with each other.

You will learn several important frameworks such as how "one thing leads to another", how each house is the culmination of the previous house and the origin point of the following house. You will also learn the powerful frameworks related to the four aims of life: Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha - and how these lessons culminates and evolve through body, mind and spirit.Also, we will unpack the lunar nodes, and start to approach helps use them in the astrology chart. Also, we will begin to look at more important astronomical phenomena such as combustion and retrograde.
This module is in preparation for the purely "Vedic" methods. The course until this time has been largely teaching universal principles, that are common to all astrology systems. Beginning with module for we pitted into the purely Vedic methods.
6 Classes - Topics Covered

_______________
~ Module 4 - Introduction to Indian Science
Only now that we begin approaching the purely "Vedic" methods. At this point the course starts to get more complicated as you will actually learn how to do the calculations for planetary dignity. You will also start to learn the complex and subtle rules for house lordship.Also, we spend several weeks integrating Nakshatra's into your astrological understanding. But we go further than just rote memorization. You're taught how to actually use a Nakshatra's in chart analysis, by redoubling our efforts on the deities of the Nakshatra's and what do they trigger in their dasa cycles.
In addition, we start getting into planetary aspects and yogas. These two very important functional aspects of Vedic astrology begin to prepare us for actual chart analysis.
8 Classes - Topics Covered
Week 1- The Holistic Zodiac & Planets as House Rulers - 1
Week 2- The Holistic Zodiac & Planets as House Rulers - 2
