प्रश्न

Praśna

Ask a question. The chart of the exact moment holds the answer. Praśna (horary astrology) is one of the oldest and most precise branches of Jyotiṣa — the chart is erected for the moment the question is fully articulated, and interpreted to illuminate what you seek to understand.

What is Jyotiṣa?

Jyotiṣa — often rendered as "Vedic astrology" in English — is one of the six Vedāṅgas (limbs of the Veda), the auxiliary sciences considered essential for the correct performance of Vedic ritual. Its name comes from jyoti, meaning light: it is the science that studies the lights of the sky (planets and stars) and their relationship to events and character on earth.

The classical tradition is vast: Parāśara's Bṛhat Parāśara Horā Śāstra alone contains over 80 chapters of systematic teaching on natal astrology. Alongside it stand Varāhamihira's Bṛhat Saṃhitā, the Praśna Mārga on horary technique, the Jātaka Pārijāta, and dozens of other treatises spanning fifteen centuries of continuous development.

This site works only with classical material. The emphasis is on accurate calculation, accurate classical reference, and honest interpretation — not vague prediction, not spiritual bypassing, and not the commercialized new-age product that passes for "Vedic astrology" in much of the contemporary market.
