Level 2 develops the foundations laid in Level 1 across all twenty-one streams of classical Vedic astrology (Jyotiṣa) — the second of a four-level curriculum. It deepens the philosophical worldview into cosmology and extends every technical subject: calculation, the Grahas, Rāśis, Nakṣatras, Bhāvas, kārakas, special ascendants, divisional charts, yogas, strength, states, longevity, daśās, transits, praśna, muhūrta and aṣṭakavarga — carried alongside a parallel practice track supporting the student’s own development. The curriculum follows the classical tradition, whose principal reference is the Bṛhat Parāśara Horā Śāstra.

- Module 1 — Sṛṣṭi Kāraṇa & Brahma VidyāThe philosophical stream deepens from Level 1's Vedic concepts into cosmology: the loka structure (Bhū, Bhuva, Svarga) as maṇḍala, the six philosophical viewpoints (Ṣaḍ Darśana), and the classical account of the forms of life. The aim is a fuller worldview within which the technical work sits.3
- Module 2 — GaṇitaCalculation broadens from chart-casting into the reckoning of time and periods and the astronomical reasoning behind them, plus the arithmetic of the 12 rāśis, the 27/28 nakṣatras, and the pañcāṅga. This equips the student to compute, not just read, the framework.4
- Module 3 — GrahaA deeper astronomical portrait of the planets: retrogression, combustion and motion revisited as measurable conditions, further astronomical factors and forms, planetary directional strength (Graha dig), eclipses, and planetary relationship (Sambandha).5
- Module 4 — RāśiThe signs are examined behind the rules: the reasons for the rulership scheme, further classifications, and the limbs of the Kālapuruṣa mapped onto the signs.3

- Module 10 — VargaDivisional charts become systematic: the varga schemes and their classifications, the actual calculation of vargas, an introduction to the tri-varga scheme, and the first individual charts — D10 (career) and D12 (parents).5
- Module 11 — YogaBeyond Nābhasa: the lunar and solar yogas, Rāja yogas, and the Dhana/Daridra (wealth and poverty) yogas.3
- Module 12 — BalaStrength deepens with Vimśopaka Bala and the second, third and fourth of the sources of strength.2
- Module 13 — AvasthāThe Dīptādi avasthās — the states describing how brightly or poorly a planet functions.1

- Module 19 — AṣṭakavargaFrom the Level 1 introduction to actual calculation, including its use in longevity (āyus).2
- Module 20 — Special TopicsThe remedial framework: mantra, gemstones, general remedial measures, and the Navagraha mantras.4
