Why This Course?
What is Prashna – in simple words?
Most of us first meet astrology through the birth chart. We think:
“If I know my date, time and place of birth, I can know everything.”
But life is not so flat.
Sometimes you see:
- Two people with similar charts, very different outcomes.
- A person who never knew birth time, but one burning question.
Rishis understood that time itself is the Guru.
When a sincere question arises in the heart, that moment of question becomes a kind of “mini-birth chart” of that situation. This is Prashna chart.
Prashna Astrology is the art of reading this chart of the question.
- Lagna shows the situation.
- Moon shows the mind and worry.
- Houses show the area: health, marriage, children, career, money, lost thing.
- Planetary Yogas show likely result and timing.
This course is your first step into this vidyā.
Why an Ultra Beginner Course?
Many Prashna classes jump straight into deep rules, Sanskrit verses, and complex examples. Beginners feel lost. They copy some combinations but cannot apply them when a real person sits in front of them.
This “Ultra Beginners” module is different:
- We build your eyes first, rules later.
- We show diagrams, charts, and slow examples.
- We repeat key ideas in different ways.
- We keep language simple, and we allow “small” questions from students.
By the end, you should not feel like a scholar, but like a person who can actually read a basic Prashna chart and say something meaningful.

5. Case Studies – Step-by-Step Reading
We take real and realistic examples for each type:
- Rog Prashna:
– “Will this surgery be successful?”
– “Will this treatment work, or should I change doctor?” - Vivaaha Prashna:
– “Will this person come back?”
– “Is this proposal suitable or risky?” - Santaan Prashna:
– “Will we have a child?”
– “Is this IVF cycle likely to work?” - Career & Finance:
– “Will I get this job / promotion?”
– “Will my loan be sanctioned?” - Chor / Lost Object Prashna:
– “Will I get my lost jewellery / document back?”
– Often: indications showing whether it is within home, with known person, or gone.
Every case is read while explaining the logic slowly.
