Extension: 1 year

After the Vocational Training of 1,5 year the student can participate in a 1-year Extension Study Program for his Master Degree II. The purpose of this Extension is to guide the student how to facilitate consultations in Vedic Astrology to a client. In the past years students all over the world were able to start their own consultancy practice, but guidance in how to give the consultations in a practical way turned out to be very valuable. Another part of the Extension is to learn about how to use the Vedic Moon Calendar (Patra or Panchanga). This part is called the science of Muhurta. Muhurta deals with consulting persons and organizations to start specific activities on auspicious days in harmony with the position and strength of the Moon and other factors. The high-civilizised culture of ancient India was completely based on this wisdom of the relationship of man and society with universal influences.
