Why is this program different?

21st Century Learning Model
If you were to hire me to teach you privately, I would give you the exact same lesson plans, in the exact same order that you are getting in this course. Yet, how much would it cost you to hire me to be your personal tutor?  I will tell you that answer, at least 100.00 / hour. I will be putting in at least 70 hours on your behalf - which means even at half the rate, these classes are worth at least $3,500.00 realistically.

Technology allows us to accomplish the same thing, with online video and communities, the same information, personalization and attention to detail is possible - and I am able to pass on enormous saving to you.

Mentorship and One Consistent Voice 
Vedic astrology and all ancient, dharmic cultures have a tradition of personal mentorship that has been broken in this modern era, due to "organization sponsored" online learning. Although it may seem fun and exciting to get a lot of different viewpoints while learning, more often than not a "too many cooks spoil the stew" metaphor applies - as teachers are at different levels of expertise and use different approaches. 
The "one teacher this week, another teacher the following week" idea may be good for the teachers, but the students are often bewildered about who to listen to. If you have learned from my free videos and courses, let me take you through the whole system.

Community, Forum and Live Class Combination 
This revolutionary learning model actually  Improves the One on One Teacher / Student experience  - at least for the introductory / initiatory classes, I truly believe it is an improvement. Here is why.
1. The video class allows you to look me directly in the eye, as I teach in an uninterrupted flow, and it allows you to rewind my direct transmission as many times as you need in order to understand.
2. After digesting these direct transmissions and pondering them, THEN you get to ask questions in the forum, just using the typed word. You also get to see the questions and conversations of others, and me answering them AND you can also answer and engage in the forum yourself - which gives you confidence to speak about these things (something that would not happen if it were just you and I together.
3. Then after a few weeks of video and forum we convene for live calls to discuss what may still be confusing. 

Material Taught at the Correct Pace
We have all been there before. We go to a conference, take in 6 classes in a day and then we do not remember anything we learned because it was just too much information. Our mind needs time to digest the information we gather, and reflect upon it - or else it will not get integrated. This weekly online learning format allows you to learn in a natural way - so you are not overwhelmed. Homework assignments and constant dialogue in the forum also keeps you up to date and makes sure your questions get answered. 

More Affordable - More Accountable
I am an independent teacher and practitioner - not an "organization" so I do not have any loyalties to anyone but you, the student. I do not have any teachers I need to pay or overhead to maintain / secretaries to pay (actually I do, but I am able to handle that). The bottom line is this. I run my business very efficiently, so I am able to keep things lean and pass those savings on to you. 
This also means that I am more available, accessible and accountable to you at every turn. You are studying with me, dealing with me as if we were neighbors. This is how I see it. I always ask myself "is there a way that I can make this more affordable, easier and better for the students", and when I find a way, I just do it - rather than having to slough through the bureacracy of an organization.

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:  

• Access to all course material at once. 
• Homework assignments that you 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.).
