THE PURPOSE
Vedic Astrology, called Jyotisha, the Science of Light was practiced by the ancient sages of India over 5,000 years ago. Based on the sidereal zodiac, Jyotisha accurately reflects the positions of the planets in the constellations as recognized by modern astronomy. As one of the ancient sources of astrology, this practice is world renown for spiritual depth and accuracy in predicting future events.

The Goals of the Vedic Astrology Symposium:
To promote the development of the American College of Vedic Astrology as a non- profit educational organization.

To establish professional standards in the training and practice of Vedic Astrology in the West.

To provide accredited classes for certification and training in Vedic Astrology.

To promote the free exchange of ideas among practitioners and students of various schools of astrology.

To provide the opportunity to sit for the ACVA written examination scheduled on Thursday, September 8, 9:00 am to 12:00 pm. For more information on ACVA, call: 1-800-900-6595.
