Why I built
this course.
Hi, I'm Tahia — a Vedic astrologer, technologist, and the creator of the only dedicated Parashara's Light 9.0 tutorial channel on YouTube.
I built this course because I kept seeing the same thing: students investing in Parashara's Light, opening it for the first time, and having no idea where to begin. Not because they weren't capable — but because nobody was teaching the software.
There are plenty of Vedic astrology courses. But none that teach you how to use Parashara's Light 9.0. That's the gap this course fills.
In just a few focused modules, I'll show you what to open first, what you're looking at, and what to do next — so you can stop clicking around and start actually using the software you paid for.
Welcome to the Light.
New to Parashara's Light 9.0?
You just purchased the software. You open it. And then — where do you even start? If any of this sounds familiar, you're in the right place.
You opened the software.
You open Parashara's Light and have no idea where to begin.
You don't know what to do first.
There are so many options, you don't know which one to learn first.
You don't know what you are looking at.
The chart is on the screen, but none of it makes sense yet.
You don't know what to click on next.
You keep clicking around, hoping you'll figure it out.
You're exhausted before you begin.
Just opening the software feels overwhelming.
You need someone to show you the way.
Stop figuring it out alone. YOU NEED A COURSE.
The Full Curriculum
