The Nakshatras, also called “lunar mansions” or “asterisms,” constitute a 27-fold division of the zodiac based upon the movement of the Moon, which takes 27 days to go around the zodiac. The Nakshatras are one of the prime factors of Vedic Astrology (Jyotish) for interpreting natal charts (Jataka) and for daily astrological changes and mundane astrology (Muhurta).
Understanding the Nakshatras is essential for any deeper applications of Vedic astrology, particularly relative to the spiritual and yogic secrets of the Vedas. Yet few people today, particularly those trained in sign-based astrology, understand the Nakshatras or their symbolism, which is unique in many ways from the ancient Vedas to recent astrology in our world today.
Dr. David Frawley (Pandit Vamadeva Shastri) is one of the world’s most respected teachers of Vedic knowledge. His work brings the deeper teachings of Yogic Meditation and Vedic Astrology into modern relevance without compromising their traditional depth and spiritual foundation.
This course is based upon Dr. Frawley’s original research into the Nakshatras, which he has conducted through over fifty years of study in the original Sanskrit. He shares rare Vedic insights drawn from older and lesser-known texts, uncovering spiritual secrets not commonly available in today’s astrological literature. His Vedic studies are highly honored in traditional circles in India and are recognized worldwide by students across many countries.
He has received several prestigious honors from India’s leading institutions in Yoga and Vedic education:
Jyotish Kovid (1993)
Jyotish Vachaspati (1996)
Jyotish Medha Prabha (2014)
Jyotisha Mahasagara (2012, from the Raman and Rajeshwari Research Foundation)
This course is designed for students and practitioners of Vedic Astrology, Yoga, and those seeking a deeper connection to the cosmic forces described in the Vedas. Whether you are new to Nakshatras or looking to deepen your understanding of their spiritual significance, this program offers rare and essential insight.
It includes four hours of in-depth video teachings from Dr. David Frawley, exploring the 27 Nakshatras and their spiritual, planetary, and energetic relevance in both ancient and modern contexts. Drawing from Pre-Parashara Vedic texts and decades of Sanskrit study, Dr. Frawley reveals teachings not commonly available in contemporary Jyotish literature. The course will share Vedic secrets of the Nakshatras that Dr. Frawley has uncovered in older Vedic texts from his study of the original Sanskrit over the last fifty years.
The course begins with an extensive introduction about the role of the Nakshatras in Vedic astrology overall before exploring each of the 27 lunar mansions individually.
This course shares rare material not commonly found in today’s Vedic astrology texts.
The Nakshatras are the 27 divisions of the zodiac based on the Moon’s movement across the sky. They are the foundation of many Vedic astrological calculations and represent unique energies and spiritual powers rooted in ancient Vedic thought.
Each Nakshatra connects to specific deities, cosmic influences, and star groupings. Studying them offers more than predictive power – it opens access to spiritual guidance, intuitive knowledge, and a deeper connection to the conscious universe.
This course examines the Nakshatras in their earliest context, tracing them through ancient Sanskrit sources and bringing forth insights that transcend traditional textbook astrology.
While based on the Moon’s 27-day cycle, the Nakshatras reflect broader cosmic energies. Their relationship with planetary forces, the Milky Way, and fixed stars is explored to uncover their full cosmic role.
The course goes beyond mundane astrology to reveal the transcendent knowledge that the Nakshatras hold, guiding the sadhaka toward a greater understanding of the universal Self and the energy currents of Yoga.
It reflects not just mundane predictions but also transcendent knowledge, which the Nakshatras connect us to as representing the fixed stars.
The program is presented in four one-hour videos, each dedicated to key themes and specific Nakshatras. This structured format helps bring each Nakshatra to life and connect its ancient symbolism to your own practice and study.
It aims to make the Nakshatras come alive for you and connect you to their cosmic influences.
Ideal for natal chart interpretation and daily planning (Muhurta), this course equips you to apply the Nakshatras in meaningful ways—personally, spiritually, and astrologically.
This course opens a gateway to the deeper spiritual power of Vedic Astrology, revealing how the 27 Nakshatras connect us to timeless forces that shape both our outer lives and inner journey.
By studying the Nakshatras, you begin to understand astrology not just as prediction but as a map of consciousness, where each lunar mansion reflects specific energies, deities, and spiritual insights.
You will learn to interpret the Moon’s movement with greater subtlety, deepen your understanding of Yogic astrology, and uncover new dimensions of your own spiritual path.
These teachings are especially valuable for astrologers, yoga practitioners, and sincere students seeking a more intuitive and soul-centered approach to Jyotish.
Let the Nakshatras guide you into the cosmic rhythm of the universe and the deeper intelligence of your own being.
This deeper insight supports the Vedic vision of a conscious universe and reveals the cosmic intelligence behind both astrology and spiritual life.
