Please note that the program is tentative and some details are still being

worked out. The detailed program will be mailed later to all the confirmed

participants.

 

The venue has been finalized and the address is as follows

 

SCWO Training room 1

96 Waterloo Street, Singapore 187967.

 

The venue is located in the heart of Singapore close to Orchard Road and Little India.

 

Originally, it was intended that the pricing for the conference should be kept

as low as possible to enable the sincere students to attend but due to budget

constraints, we are forced to revise the pricing scheme as announced earlier.

We apologize for the inconvenience caused. The new pricing scheme will be as

follows:

 

SGD $300 (or) US $ 180 for the full conference.

 

Booking of hotel rooms will be arranged for the interested ex-Singapore

participants. There are plenty of hotels in Singapore and we have made efforts

to reserve rooms at Oxford Hotel which is within 5 minutes walk of the

conference venue. The rate at this hotel is SGD $ 65 per room per night with

single and twin sharing modes available.

 

This is a very good opportunity to interact with internationally acknowledged

authorities in the field of Jyotish and to learn about the various intricacies

of Jyotish under the able guidance of outstanding teachers. You will be

enriched after the experience and come away with invaluable knowledge in this

field. Your predictive abilities will definitely be enhanced multifold times.

Certificates of attendance will be distributed to all the participants.
