Foundation Cohort · Live · 12 weeks · max 12 seats

The BPHS Foundation curriculum taught live by Pardeep Sehrawat (The Architect) himself. English-medium. Sessions recorded. NRI-accessible.

Built on 100% Bhāratīya math · Bharat Ephemeris engine · 890 propositions machine-checked · Zenodo DOI 10.5281/zenodo.20024273 · “I do not predict. I locate.” — Pardeep Sehrawat

वास्तुकारस्य वचनम् · The Architect on Why He Teaches

“The engine computes. The śāstra has the grammar. What is missing is the reader — someone with enough rigour to hold a chart and not flinch from what is written. That reader is what this cohort produces.”

अधिकारी-विचारः · Adhikārī-Vicāra · Who This Is For

The cohort is not for everyone. It is for the seeker who wants to understand the architecture, not be handed a horoscope.

  • You want to read a janma-kuṇḍalī rigorously — not receive a prediction, but understand the architecture.
  • You have some exposure to jyotiṣa vocabulary (nakṣatra, rāśi, graha) or strong enough curiosity to acquire it fast.
  • You are comfortable studying in English and can commit time across 12 consecutive weeks.
  • You are in India, the diaspora, or anywhere in the world — sessions are recorded so every time zone is served.

पाठ्यक्रमः · Pāṭhyakrama · The Curriculum Arc

Five modules across 12 weeks. Every session anchored to an actual BPHS chapter or a named śāstric source — no invented tradition.

नक्षत्र-परिचयः

Introduction to the 27 Nakṣatras

The 27 lunar mansions — their names, four pādas each, presiding devatā, and the Vedic source of each mantra.

राशि-चक्रम्

The 12 Rāśis and Their Lords

The 12-fold zodiac — each rāśi's lord, element (tattva), mobility, gender, and the exaltation/debilitation degrees of the grahas.

ग्रह-स्वभावः

Nature and Significations of the 9 Grahas

The 9 grahas — their natural kāraka-roles, gender, tattva, mitra-śatru (friendship-enmity), and behavioural significations from BPHS Ch. 2–7.

पञ्चाङ्ग-गणना

The Five Limbs of the Day

Tithi, vāra, nakṣatra, yoga, karaṇa — the 5-limb computation that locates any moment in the sacred time-grid.

कुण्डली-निर्माणम्

Chart Construction — Sidereal vs Tropical, Ayanāṃśa

How a Vedic chart is built — sidereal vs tropical reference, the Lahiri ayanāṃśa, ascendant computation, and the houses-vs-signs distinction.

What ₹14,999 covers

  • 12 weekly live sessions (90 min each) with Pardeep personally
  • All session recordings archived for your access
  • One supervised practicum chart-reading with written feedback
  • Access to Bharat Ephemeris dashboard for all chart work
  • Async Q&A — questions answered before the next session

Market context

  • ICAS Foundation / BVB comparable levels: ₹7,000–₹15,000
  • Western Jyotiṣa academy equivalent: USD 300–500
  • This cohort: ₹14,999 — Pardeep directly, max 12 seats, live
  • No franchise fee, no middle tier, no syllabus sold separately

The price is the floor for a 12-week live-instructed cohort with one-to-one practicum feedback. It is not a discount — it is the actual cost of the Architect's time at small-cohort scale.

14-day refund guarantee

Attend all sessions. If by the final session you do not feel you can read a janma-kuṇḍalī more rigorously than before — say so within 14 days and receive a full refund, no question asked. The reading discipline is the product; if it failed, you should not keep paying for it.

प्रश्नोत्तरम् · Praśnottaram · Common Questions

Who teaches the sessions?

Pardeep Sehrawat — The Architect — teaches every session personally. There is no hired tutor, no teaching assistant running the live hour. If you have a question, the person on screen is the same person who built the engine and sealed 890 propositions on the substrate.

What classical texts does the cohort cover?

The cohort moves through the BPHS Foundation curriculum: BPHS (Ch. 1-3, 27-28 (substrate fundamentals)) · PHALADIPIKA (Ch. 1, 2, 22). Every session cites the chapter and verse-range being discussed. No invented tradition, no vague lineage claims.

I am in the UK / USA / Australia. Can I attend live?

Every session is recorded and uploaded within 24 hours. You can attend live or catch the recording — either path gives you full cohort access. The Q&A portion can be submitted asynchronously by email and Pardeep responds before the next session.

Is ₹14,999 refundable?

Yes. If you attend all sessions and do not feel you can read a janma-kuṇḍalī more rigorously than before, say so within 14 days of the final session and receive a full refund — no question asked. The discipline of the reading is the product; if it did not deliver, you should not keep paying for it.

What is the difference between /learn and this cohort?

The /learn paths are self-paced, free study guides — text, exercises, engine links. The cohort adds Pardeep live: he walks the chart, takes your questions in real time, and grades a practicum chart-reading at the end. Self-paced study gives you the map; the cohort gives you someone who has walked the territory every week for years.

What do I need before applying?

Curiosity and a minimum 8 hours per week. Basic familiarity with the nine grahas and twelve rāśis helps but is not required — Pardeep begins from first principles. No Sanskrit grammar required at this level.
