The legacy of the astrology goes back to 5000 years i.e. the period christened as Vedic era.

Vedic Knowledge is the most ancient stream of knowledge. Its magnanimity has been recognized by the world. In ancient times there was a pre-condition to learn six Vedangas before anybody could learn vedangas. Jyotish is one of these six Vedangas and hence the part of the ancient Vedic knowledge system. The Astrology has mystified the humanity through ages and still continues to do so. We bow to thousands of those persons who have made an extreme effort to keep the science of astrology alive.

Institute of Vedic and Astrological Sciences (IVAS) is a body of passionate and devoted practitioners and academicians of astrology. IVAS endeavours to study and disseminate the knowledge of the astrology with scientific temper and making it more relevant to the modern times. Institute of Vedic and Astrological Sciences (IVAS) is the mother body to promote the knowledge in Vedic and Astrological Sciences. In this pursuit of spreading the knowledge systematically the team came up with its chapter named as Jyotish Gurukul under the banner of Institute of Vedic and Astrological Sciences (Regd.) as IVAS. Jyotish Gurukul is the name of centre of learning.

IVAS started its institute “Jyotish Gurukul Chandigarh” from Chandigarh itself in the year 2017. Within one year the services of IVAS were sought by Desh Bhagat University - Premier Private University of Punjab. Hence IVAS started Jyotish Gurukul Mandi Gobindgarh with the collaboration of the Desh Bhagat University Mandi Gobindgarh Punjab.

Another milestone covered by IVAS is to enter an MoU with the Panjab University Chandigarh, Sanskrit Department to teach Vedic and Astrological Sciences in a systematic manner to disseminate this knowledge to the aspirants willing to explore horizons of this ancient stream of knowledge. Hence “Jyotish Gurukul Chandigarh” in collaboration with Panjab University is stationed at Chandigarh and holds classes in the Campus of Panjab University.
Thus IVAS has two chapters whiz Jyotish Gurukul Chandigarh and Jyotish Gurukul Mandi Govindgarh. We impart knowledge through these chapters also currently IVAS is running its courses through eClasses.
