Next beginners course starts on Wednesday January 23rd
Fee: Membership of BAVA is included in the course fee of £195 per term of ten lessons.
Venue: Conference Room, Indian YMCA, 41 Fitzroy Square, London W1T 6AQ. Info on venue www.indianymca.org
Time: 7-9pm for 10 weeks.

The beginners course has six modules and each module runs for ten weeks. This course last two years. The correspondence course runs concurrently with the BAVA evening classes, so that students are able to study from home or with the classes and to change between the two of them at any convenient time. Membership of BAVA is included in the course fee of £195 per term of ten lessons. This also includes course book, ephemeris and other course materials.

The course covers all of the basic elements of this vast ancient science including its spiritual and philosophical basis and will take you to basic competence in two years at the end of which there are examinations. A third year's study is available for those who wish to study for professional examinations. For those who have already studied Vedic Astrology for some time it is possible to join one of the more advanced classes.

No prior knowledge of astrology is required for the beginners course. Those with experience of modern Western astrology are also welcome and will find this knowledge of value in deepening their understanding of astrology.

There are a small number of set books for the course. These will be available on mail-order from the UK if they are not available locally. Advice on books to study is available any time from Gordon Brennan. Students will also be given a BAVA course book. This is a reference book of information to refer to throughout the course. It is also advantageous to have a Vedic Astrology computer programme. For beginners the simple free ones, which can be downloaded from the internet are adequate.

The basic course is divided into six modules, one per term of ten weeks. The course syllabus will cover all of the basics of Vedic Astrology in the first two terms. This will include an introduction to Indian Mythology and Philosophy as well as an explanation of the main Sanskrit terms used and basic astronomy. The third term of ten weeks concentrates on the ability to read charts and gradually less on acquiring new techniques.

Vedic Astrology is a very large subject and the student needs to become familiar with its terms in order to make good progress. There may seem to be quite a lot to learn initially, but as long as the principles are understood this will not be difficult.

The fees for the beginners course are £195 per term of ten weeks. 20% discount is given to full time students. Payment by credit card is accepted (Tel 020 7377 0823).
