Dear Maharajas, Prabhus and Matajis,

 

Please accept my humble obeisance. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Bhaktivignavinasa Nrsimhadeva Bhagavan kijaya!

 

The Bhaktivedanta College www.BhaktivedantaCollege.org is pleased to

announce that it is now open and that the School of Jyotish is accepting

applicants for its "Pilot Program."

 

 

When: March 23rd, 2006 -- May 4th, 2006.

 

Where: ISKCON Sri Dhama Mayapura

 

Instructor: Shyamasundara Dasa see: http://tinyurl.com/7nl5s

 

Maximum number of students accepted: 20

 

Tuition: none, we follow Lord Krsna's Vedic cultural tradition of only

accepting dakshine from students. See: http://tinyurl.com/arz2f

 

Objectives: This intense course is designed to cover a segment of the

curriculum for the "Jyotish Vidvan" degree. The amount of information

covered will depend on the ability of the students to assimilate what is

taught. But the main focus will be important "Foundational Topics" in Vedic

Astrology as well as an "Analytic Study of the Elements of Vedic Astrology."

The later is intended to be an introduction to the irreducible building

blocks of Vedic Astrology. The emphasis throughout the course will be on

learning the basic definitions that make up the language of astrology. With

knowledge of first principles the intelligent student will then understand

why the signs have the meanings that they have, etc. It will all make sense

to you if you grasp the foundation.

 

By completing this one course the student will NOT be able to read a

horoscope or make predictions. However, they will have an excellent

foundation for further study in astrology.

 

No prior knowledge of Jyotish or any other system of divination is assumed.

We do however make assumptions about the student's knowledge of and

commitment to the mission of our Founder Acarya A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami

Srila Prabhupada. In other words this course is intended for dedicated

Vaisnava preachers who want to use Jyotish as part of their cultural

repertoire. A good understanding of Sankhya philosophy as taught in the 3rd

canto Srimad Bhagavatam will be very helpful to the student.

 

Class schedule: tentatively every 2nd day for 3-6 hours on that day. No

recording will be allowed (we will make our own recordings). Intervening

days will be for homework and also include lectures on various related Krsna

conscious topics. Attendance of these lectures is mandatory as well as

attending the full morning and evening program, chanting 16 rounds/day,

following the regulated principles and other standard sadhana.

 

For more information about this new and exciting program please visit the

college's website: www.BhaktivedantaCollege.org.

 

Your humble servant,

Shyamasundara Dasa
