Five Learning Paths through Vedic Light-Science
Five structured paths through Vedic light-science — from first principles (nakṣatra · rāśi · graha · pañcāṅga) through the Phaladīpikā, BPHS, Jaimini-sūtras, and into practitioner-grade computation. Scholarly framing, source-cited throughout.
This is a scholarly study guide. We teach computation and structure; the interpretive art belongs to the learned Jyotiṣī (आचार्य). The substrate computes; the śāstras frame; the practitioner holds the relationship. We make the first two transparently accessible — the third is your own pursuit.
First-principles introduction — 27 nakṣatras, 12 rāśis, 9 grahas, the 5-limb pañcāṅga, and the construction of the sidereal chart.
Trace five foundational chapters of the Phaladīpikā — Maṇṭreśvara's 15th-century synthesis. Covers graha-svarūpa, Pañca-Mahāpuruṣa yogas, lagna-phala, āyurdāya, and muhūrta.
Seven modules tracing the Bṛhat Pārāśara Horā Śāstra — graha-bheda, varga, ṣaḍ-bala, yoga, daśā, aṣṭakavarga, and vivāha (marriage). The canonical depth-path of Vedic astrology.
Six modules through the Upadeśa-sūtras of Maharṣi Jaimini — chara-kāraka theory, ārūḍha, cara-daśā, sthira-daśā, nārāyaṇa-daśā, and rāśi-dṛṣṭi. The terse-aphorism school that runs parallel to Pārāśara.
Five modules on practical use — muhūrta selection, praśna methodology, varṣaphala analysis, aṣṭakūṭa compatibility, and daily nakṣatra-mantra practice. Computation in service of practice, not prediction.
Annotated TOCs of the foundational śāstras — BPHS (97 ch.), Phaladīpikā (28 ch.), Jaimini-sūtras (16 sections). Source for every classical anchor cited in these paths.
Cast a sidereal chart for any moment. Every classical-anchor in these paths refers back to a chart-surface like this one.
The mathematical substrate that every computation rests on — ayanāṃśa, ephemeris-precision, provenance, audit trail.
