Welcome to Foundations of Vedic Astrology, a complete and immersive video course designed for serious beginners and aspiring astrologers who want to understand and apply the authentic principles of Vedic astrology as taught in the classical Indian tradition. This playlist is not about fast astrology or superficial predictions—it is a structured learning journey into the heart of Jyotish Shastra, based on timeless wisdom, sacred scriptures, and Guru-paramparā (teacher-student lineage).
In this course, you will be introduced to Vedic astrology not as a fortune-telling technique, but as a sacred vidyā—a spiritual science rooted in the philosophy of Sanātana Dharma and governed by cosmic laws. Jyotish is known as the “Eye of the Veda” because it allows us to see the karmic patterns operating in our lives. When studied sincerely, it becomes a powerful tool for self-awareness, karmic understanding, conscious decision-making, and inner transformation.
This playlist is structured like a traditional foundation course, covering everything a dedicated beginner needs to internalize. Each video lesson builds sequentially on the previous one, and is meant to be studied deeply, with note-taking, repetition, and reflection.
You are encouraged to take this course slowly and seriously—treat it as your first formal initiation into the vast, sacred, and often misunderstood science of Jyotish. You may revisit each video multiple times to fully grasp its inner meaning, application, and context.
