Praveśa
The starting point, and the course we ask almost everyone to begin with. You are kept away from astrology software while you learn to build a chart on paper, so that later you can check what a program gives you instead of trusting it. By the end of the twenty weeks you can cast a chart, read it, and follow a traditional jātakam written by someone else.
What you will learn
- Panchanga and its five limbs, used practically
- The Grahas and Rāśis in detail, and the relationships between them
- Nakṣatras — the depth a foundation student is expected to hold
- Lagna Ganitam and Grahanila calculation, done by hand
- Vimśottarī Daśā and how the periods are worked out
- Talakuri preparation
- The basics of Muhurta
Phalita
A full year on prediction. This is where the classical texts are read properly and applied to real charts — not summarised, but worked through. You write horoscopes, time events through Daśā, answer questions through Prashna and select Muhurtham, with your work reviewed as you go.
What you will learn
- Bṛhat Jātakam, Praśna Mārga and Phaladīpikā, studied in sequence
- Horoscope writing and systematic chart interpretation
- Daśā and Daśā-kāla analysis for timing events
- Prashna — answering a question through horary astrology
- Muhurtham, including Vivaha Muhurtham
- Vivaha Porutham — traditional compatibility analysis
- Continuous practice on real horoscopes
Ācārya
The professional programme, and the only route we consider adequate preparation for consulting strangers. Admission is by interview because the specialised Prashna traditions taught here are passed on directly, and the batch stays small enough for the Master to supervise every student’s casework personally.
What you will learn
- Aṣṭamaṅgala Praśnam — complete practical training
- Deva Praśnam and traditional Praśna methodology
- Conducting Deepa and Thāmboola Praśnam
- Business consultation through Jyotiṣa
- Medical astrology and practical chart assessment
- Supervised consultations alongside the Master
- Consultation support for up to one year after completion
How the classes actually run
The same arrangement applies to all three courses.
Live, not recorded lectures
Every session is taught live by Kaladharan Master. Questions are answered in the class they arise in.
Recordings for twelve months
Uploaded within 24 hours and available for a full year, so a missed class does not hold the batch back.
Small batches, 45 maximum
Large enough for discussion, small enough that the teacher knows where each student has got stuck.
Diploma on completion
A Diploma Certificate from the Academy, backed by the casework you actually completed during the course.
Fees and payment
Fees cover live teaching, recordings, class material and the doubt-clearing hour. Instalments carry no interest and no credit check — the small premium on split plans covers payment gateway charges on each transaction.
Seats are confirmed on receipt of the first instalment. If a batch is full, your payment is returned in full or carried to the next batch, whichever you prefer.
How to enrol
Four steps, and no phone call before you know the syllabus and the fee.
Message us
Send a WhatsApp with the course you are considering and any question about the syllabus.
Short conversation
We check the course fits what you want. For Ācārya this is a proper interview.
Pay and confirm
Pay in full or start the instalment plan. Your seat is held from that moment.
Join the batch group
Class links, timings and reading material come through before the first session.
Questions before you enrol
Which course should I start with?
Praveśa, unless you have already studied Jyotiṣa formally elsewhere. Phalita assumes you can cast and read a chart without help, and starting there tends to mean spending the first months catching up on foundation work in private.
Do I need to know Sanskrit?
No. Beginners are welcome and nobody is expected to parse Sanskrit grammar.
As you progress you will become familiar with the Sanskrit terminology the tradition is built on, which makes the classical texts and technical discussion far easier to follow.
Do I need astrology software?
Not for the first four weeks — you are deliberately kept away from it while you learn to cast a chart by hand. From week five we use free software, and by then you can check what it produces rather than simply trusting it.
What if I miss a class?
Recordings go up within 24 hours and stay available for twelve months. The Sunday doubt-clearing hour exists partly so that people who missed a session can catch up without holding the batch back.
Can I consult professionally after the foundation?
No, and we would ask you not to. Praveśa makes you a competent reader of your own chart and those of people close to you. Charging strangers is what Ācārya and its supervised consultations are for.
Is the certificate recognised?
You receive a Diploma Certificate from the Academy on successful completion. In Jyotiṣa a certificate is one part of a professional journey — credibility is built through accuracy, ethical practice and the trust you earn from the people you read for.
Can I pay in instalments?
Yes, on all three courses. The plans are listed with each course above, carry no interest and involve no credit check.
What language are classes taught in?
Primarily Malayalam, following the Kerala traditional method, with English used for explanation where it helps. Class material is available in both.
Not sure which course fits you?
Send us your background and what you want to be able to do at the end. We will tell you where to start — including when the honest answer is to wait for the next foundation batch.
