This course is part of the

American College of Vedic Astrology (ACVA). It
is worth 100 credit hours for certification.
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 predictive astrology and foresee your own
future.
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 5000 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. It is now possible to follow a correspondence/email course
in applied Vedic astrology.
Following a correspondence course means studying when and where you wish and
at your own pace.
