The Jaimini Scholar program is a four part course taught over five years. It contains a great deal of advanced material not available anywhere else. This is the teaching of an ancient tradition and its wisdom could not be figured out by anyone just from the texts, however intelligent. This is the first era when this knowledge has been taught outside of a few Brahmin families. Many key teachings on remedial measures are included. This course is entirely unlike those courses where material is covered but many secrets are withheld. Each part of the course is based on a Chapter of Jaimini's Upadesha Sutras and is related to one of the four Vedas. Each is taught as a separate module. Successful participants can obtain certification from the Devaguru Brihaspati Centre (DBC) so that they can teach the program. The DBC and the course leader will determine when a student has reached a sufficient level for certification. Each year is taught with a mix of online and in-person meetings. The application form for year 1 is here. A tuition fee ($2000) for the first year is payable to the course leader and a payment is due to the Devaguru Brihaspati Centre for access to the web site (approx $300/year). The web site includes many valuable materials. This contribution is required to obtain certification for successful graduates. The Centre also offers a Sadhana pack including special Malas, an Asan (meditation seat), mantra book and other items which is recommended (approx cost $100).

This course is only offered very infrequently and space is limited. Those interested are encouraged to apply promptly. No one should be confused because the cost of the course is less compared with other courses being taught by respected teachers and organizations in North America.
