And this is what Richard Houck, author of The Astrology of Death and Digital Astrology says about the course:
"I often have people ask me about where they can
learn basic Vedic astrology from a person rather than a book.
The Dirah Academy offers a personalized 14-lesson correspondence course that is probably
the best combination of simplicity, clarity, practicality, usefulness and cost value on
the world market today.
How can you beat having fun with your own chart while learning Vedic astrology for about
$20 a lesson? I don't know how they do it."
Learn how to apply the Indian system of astrology and learn about how to lead a better life, how to express your potential in a better way and how to foresee future developments.
Choose your own appropriate (semi-) precious stone, colour and mantra.
Learn about the relationship between the Vedic horoscope and ayurveda (Indian natural healing), which will enable you to use ayurveda in juxtaposition to astrology.
Vedic astrology is a form of astrology that is 5OOO years old. Increasing numbers of Western astrologers are discovering the value of Vedic astrology. In the Western world interest for Vedic astrology is steadily growing.
