We have two kinds of mentors for PJC. There is always the elder, more senior ज्योतिष गुरु (Jyotiṣa Guru) who is the head of a batch of PJC. The second type are the उपाध्याय (upādhyāya) under the Jyotiṣa Guru. The third is the आचार्य (Acharya) परम गुरु (Param Guru), the course creator of PJC and who is symbolically a part but can also conduct some classes or be present in the contact classes, webinars etc.
