Syllabus MSP-III

   December 31, 2020  Posted in About MSP

MSP2 and MSP-3 are interlinked as the syllabus is very vast covering hundreds of sloka of the colossal Brhat Parasara Hora Shastra. In addition only those who have joined MSP-2 should consider joining MSP-3 after they have studied the video lessons. There are quite a number of video lessons and a few writeups. In future years (2024 onwards) we shall have mentors to guide participants on an annual basis. It is best to start in spring 15 Mar – 16 May. And it is best to join before that to read the material available in the website to avoid trailing behind the class.
Please read carefully.
This syllabus is taught in two years – MSP-2 and MSP-3

  1. Part-A is to be taught through webinars in April 2020-21. Admission is open to all. Fees to be paid online $1008
  2. Part-B is to be taught through webinars and a contact classes in 2021. Admission is no longer restricted for people who can make a commitment to travel to India/Bengal. Others can avail the recordings by joining the course after the course is completed.
