What is Vedic astrology?

CVA Presidents Message 2013

Welcome to the CVA website. The Council of Vedic Astrology is one of the oldest non-profit Vedic astrology membership organizations in the West. We are allied with the ICAS, the Indian Council of Astrological Sciences, which was founded by the late Dr. B.V. Raman. We are a professional community of practicing Vedic astrologers. The CVA prides itself in the continuing education and certification of Vedic astrologers through our diverse international community, which includes practitioners and teachers from over 12 different countries.

Please visit our Teachers and Practitioners page on the CVA website to see a complete list of our recognized professionals. You can visit their websites through provided links, or email to find a certified teacher near you. We have some of the most recognized professionals in the field as long standing members of our community. Upon successful completion of the CVA certification requirement process, you will be able to sit for CVA examination. Once you become certified with the CVA you have the option of joining the CVA as a Professional Practicing member and become part of our professional sangha of internationally recognized professionals.

The CVA is pleased to announce for 2013 our co-partnering of various events and conferences with other practitioners in the allied Vedic sciences. The CVA is pleased to co-partner with NAMA for their 2013 annual conference April 18-21 in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The CVA is also pleased to co-partner with the Sivananda Yoga Farm Ashram for the 14th annual Vedic Astrology Conference the 4th of July weekend of 2013.
