INTERNATIONAL VEDIC ASTROLOGY PROGRAM 2012 - REVISED SCHEDULE

Research
Two years spent learning astrology in Jyotish Alankar and Jyotish Acharya is like exploring a long shore-line of the ocean of astrology. We make students who join us stop at select points on the shore of this vast ocean of astrology, only a part of it can be experienced in a life time. It is not possible to technically equip students with all the methods that lead to correct predictions. Only the tested and highly replicable ones are therefore taught.

On successful completion of this intense two year course, the student is able to identify his aptitude and decide his future in astrology. He is able to assess his strength and weakness and can give predictions for himself. At this stage we encourage students to start with predicting for people known to them.

The research program is designed in such a way so that, after picking from the available choices, the student is able to conduct research both at the individual level and in a group.

The Institute of Astrology, Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan can claim to be a global leader in terms of both quantity and quality of astrological research. We have six groups pursuing research. With Mr. K.N.Rao to guide us, the research activity is well structured and organized.

With a scientific and statistical approach, the Institute could demonstrate that Kaal Sarpa dosha, Sade Sati and many such common prescriptive approaches were exploitative and many beliefs and practices that had attached the name of astrology to extort money from the gullible were baseless. These were being used as tools by self-styled, unscrupulous astrologers for selfish gains. The Institute stood up in defense whenever astrology was attacked. Having provided the inspiration to introduce astrology as a course in universities, we alone defended it in the Supreme Court of India. In response to a petition filed by scientists who wanted the Government to discontinue teaching of astrology in universities in 2004, Mr. K.N.Rao spoke at length in the Supreme Court as defendant. The Supreme Court eventually decided in favor of teaching of astrology in universities.

Our fundamental approach to research is based on utilization of the work already done in the field. Here what matters is the strength of the Institution and its astrologers. Since astrology is an ancient science and perhaps the oldest and most discussed, its learning is scattered wide across the world. Here also we need committed manpower to put it together.

Though today we have the internet to aid us, the dependable input in research comes from self-tested replicability of discovered principles.

Understanding today's socio economic milieu is important for modifying the results of earlier researches. A systematic investigation into existing or new knowledge, reaffirms the results of previous work, solves new or existing problems, and develops new theories. An astrological research project is essentially an expansion of the earlier work in the field for example the research on foreign connections which is based years of research of Mr. K.N. Rao and Mr. M.S. Mehta book Planets and Travel Abroad first published in 1996.
