Learn: Jyotish, Vaastu and the mind

A free course in Vedic astrology, from the twelve rashis to dasha, transits and retrograde grahas; in Vaastu, from the Vāstu Puruṣa to finding true east; and in the mind's five brain waves, in English and Hindi.

VEDAUM's free school. Every door is a game: match, turn the dial, put the waves in order, then seal the door with three questions. Free, at your own pace, and the rishi's scroll is always there when you want to go deeper.

Signed in, each sealed door adds 25 coins to your record.

Vāstu — the science of dwelling

Ten doors from the Veda's lord of the dwelling to the dharma of a home: the Vāstu Puruṣa, the mandala, the eight guardians, the five elements, the centre, finding east, examining the land, and where each room belongs.
