Study and Mentoring with Dennis Flaherty
Thank you for inquiring about my Vedic astrology audio course, which was the first ever audio course in the West available to students who wish to learn Jyotish. My course was the first audio course to be approved by both the American Council of Vedic Astrology (CVA) and the American College of Vedic Astrology (ACVA) in the early nineties over two decades ago.
​
My Vedic astrology audio course consists of eight series, each with booklets and charts. The classes are live presentations and high quality audio recordings that make the student feel as if they are present for each of the classes. Each series progressively guides the student, building upon the knowledge of each series until the last series which instructs you how to start your own astrological practice. Several hundred students worldwide have purchased and completed my course these last two decades and dozens of my students have gone on to start their own successful national and international practice!
Three Levels of Jyotish Mentoring
The 1st level of study is my Jyotish Audio Course, for the novice, hobbyist, and aspiring professional alike. The completed course will teach you the fundamentals of Vedic astrology so you can begin reading charts like the professionals. For the more serious aspirant, who completes the Jyotish audio course exam, a diploma certificate is awarded that is accredited for 200 hours toward professional certification with the CVA. The Jyotish Audio Course is self-contained and self-directed, so the student can learn at their own pace for the first level of study.
​
The 2nd level of study is available to those who have completed the audio course. Upon completion, you have the option to enroll in my ongoing Mentoring Series, which meets monthly. This live interactive class compliments and accelerates the student’s learning in a structured framework. All mentoring classes count toward CVA certification.
​
The 3rd level of study is available to those who are enrolled in my mentoring series and wish to become professional Vedic astrologers. Students have the option of mentoring one on one with me directly in my Personal Mentoring Program. Students requesting personal mentoring are accepted three times a year, at the start of each mentor series after a preliminary interview and evaluation.
It is my hope that I have provided you with enough information to assist you in choosing my audio course as your first choice of study in learning Vedic astrology. Once committed to the study of Vedic astrology you can exercise the affordable 2nd and 3rd levels of study to become a professional Vedic astrologer like the hundreds of students who have graduated from my comprehensive program.
