JYOTISH TRILOGY

Jyotish Trilogyoffers you practical, genuine education in Jyotish within the space of a year. You can of course take longer, if you so choose, because the Jyotish Trilogyrecurs yearly. As the name implies, three jam-packed sessions whisk you into the inner sanctum of Vedic astrology by means of the Jyotish Foundation, Intermediate Jyotish, and Advanced Jyotish courses. The track-record of these three courses (see Testimonials page) demonstrates that they swiftly take you through advanced levels and beyond. Designed as stand-alone units, the courses double as stepping-stones to continuing specialized studies in Jyotish and related fields.
 
Class Size and Other Information
 
Past class sizes for the Jyotish Trilogy varied from twenty to forty participants. Hart teaches the classes personally, helped by skilled tutors who hold optional free review sessions between classes. After each course, knowledgeable tutors are available for optional on-going private tutoring centered on each course. Other information concerning your best course strategies, especially if you attend from other than the San Francisco Bay area, is only a phone call or e-mail away. 
 
The Jyotish Trilogy classes, textbooks, and unique printed notes help you quickly grasp the methods taught. One student, now a professional, echoed the sentiments of many others when he said the classes and notes from the Jyotish Trilogy are his most prized Jyotish materials. To further ensure your understanding of the material taught, evaluated assignments and feedback form an indispensable part of each course. You earn a certificate for successful completion of each course. All courses apply towards certification by the American Council of Vedic Astrologers (ACVA).
 
You can enroll in the Jyotish Foundation course (the first in the Jyotish Trilogy ) without a prerequisite. Completion of the Foundation course is, however, a precondition for entrance into the Intermediate course, and completion of the Intermediate course is a requirement for admission into the Advanced course.  The prerequisite sequencing helps organize, shape, and quicken your deep study and development of practical skill for horoscope interpretation. Advanced Jyotish students--even professionals--have expressed how much they benefited from Hart's Foundation course. Consult the Course Calendar page for the dates of this year's Jyotish Trilogy.
 
JYOTISH POWER EVENTS

A Jyotish Power event is any one of the yearly seven-day or longer  intensives on  specialized topics. Successful completion of the Jyotish Trilogy is your prerequisite to any Jyotish Power event. Past specialized seminar topics included Tajika Prashna, Shri Pati Paddhati, Jyotisha Darpana, and Pourutams. Future events will include Nakshatras, classical Prashna, Kerala Prashna, Sarvato Bhadra Chakra, Jyotish Nadi, Muhurta, and similar detailed topics.
 
Class Size and Other Information
 
Past class sizes varied from forty to sixty students. It is a size that works and remains cohesive because of each student's completion of the prerequisite Jyotish Trilogy. Hart personally teaches these highly specialized seminars. Qualified tutors are always on board to help you. Students say that a Jyotish Power event is akin to a cooperative family reunion with lots of info and socializing to catch up on. Consult the Course Calendar page for the dates of this year's Jyotish Power events.
 
JYOTISH PLUS EVENTS
 
A Jyotish Plus event explores mini-topics in Jyotish or elaborate disciplines related to Jyotish. Such mini-topics include two or three day review sessions offered by Hart as optional follow-ups to the rigorous Jyotish Power events. Discliplines related to Jyotish include the Hasta Samudrika Foundation course and the Intermediate Hasta Samudrika course, two popular yearly courses about the ancient art of hand analysis.
 
Jyotish Plus events include occasional offerings by Vedic Vidya Institute and other organizations, where Hart lectures on Sanskrit, Yoga, Vedanta, Vastu, and the like, in addition to occasional jyotishical topics. Consult the Course Calendar page for the dates of this year's Jyotish Plus events.
 
Class Size and Other Information
 
With the exception of the Hasta Samudrika seminars (see Hasta Samudrika Shastra page) class sizes are unpredictable at present. Although the first Hasta Samudrika course is a prerequisite to the Intermediate Hasta Samudrika course, you can enroll in the Hasta Samudrika Foundation course with no prior coursework. Other Jyotish Plus events may or may not require prerequisite course work; therefore, it's best to check the Course Calendar page for prerequisites, if any, to individual Jyotish Plus events.
 
SUMMARY

Jyotish Trilogy™, Jyotish Power events, and Jyotish Plus events form a thorough, traditional education in Jyotish while giving you a familiarity with allied subjects. This unique combination and delivery allows the average student to become a solid practitioner of Jyotish.
