An introductory course on Vedic Astrology open to advanced students by invitation only. Prerequisites for this course include at minimum, going through the How to Learn, Sanskrit Pronunciation, Sri Isopanisad, Bhagavad-gita and Intro to Ontology courses. It's also a good idea to review Vedic Astronomy for Jyotish and The Vedic Calendar, because you will need that background for this course. You also should be chanting the Holy Names at least 30 minutes daily and following the regulative principles of spiritual life: abstaining from eating meat, fish and eggs, illicit sex, intoxication and gambling. Please contact Babaji before attempting this course.

Mangalācaranam: Auspicious Invocation

The purpose of the Mangalācaranam is to invoke the spiritual power and protection needed for our work. The student should recite the Mangalācaranam before any auspicious activity, including chanting the Holy Name of the Lord, Jyotish or other Vedic scriptural study, and especially before doing any charts or other Jyotish work. Make an altar with small pictures of the transcendental personalities worshiped in the Mangalācaranam, and offer incense and food before eating.

Here is a recording of Babaji chanting the Mangalācaranam mantras:
