6 Live Classes + Recording Archive Access
Nakṣatras are the 27 stars used in Vedic Astrology. The Nakṣatra deities are early elemental and celestial deities from the Vedas that predate the Bhakti Era.
We’ll focus on Ādityas (heaven realm deities), Rudras (atmospheric realm deities), Vāsus (earthly realm deities), and more.
There is some discussion on nakṣatras themselves and the myths associated with the stars, but this is not an analysis class. We'll be focused on meaning.
When you sign up you have immediate access to pre recorded classes which will be updated in the Teachable portal each time the course is offered live.
