About Nanu Maharaj

A lifetime in the service of one science

For over fifty years Nanu Maharaj has practised Vedic astrology known as Jyotisha the way it was meant to be practised. One person. One chart. One honest conversation at a time.

For most of that time his work was known only to a few. He served as the personal astrologer to some of India's most successful industrialists and business families. These were people who could seek counsel anywhere in the world. They returned to him year after year and generation after generation. Decisions of marriage and succession were weighed with his charts on the table. So were new ventures and difficult seasons.

That kind of personal and deeply prepared reading has always been quietly available to the very few. Nanu Maharaj believes it should not be.He has distilled his life's learning into six published volumes. Now he has decided the time has come to open his practice. The same care once reserved for boardrooms is available to any family in any city at any stage of life.

He is a published author of the six volume treatise Vyaktigat Sanatan Jyotish Vidnyan. He continues to write and teach and consult from India.

साक्षाद् भवेद् भाग्यनिरीक्षणाय सुनिर्मलादर्शतलं यथैव ।
शास्त्रं तु ज्योतिः परिदृश्यतेऽत्र ॥

"A spotless mirror reveals one's reflection clearly. In the same way the science of Jyotisha reveals one's path distinctly."

From his writings · Volume One

Why this is a science

Not fortune telling. It is mathematics and observation and fifty years of pattern.

Jyotisha is one of the six Vedangas. These are the limbs of the Vedas. It is the only one founded entirely on direct observation. Nanu Maharaj writes that other disciplines rest on debate. This one rests on the sky itself.

A calculated chart not a guess

Your reading begins with mathematics. It uses the exact degrees of the planets at your moment of birth. It notes their nakshatra and pada. It sees whether they are direct or retrograde and rising or setting. It follows the houses through which their influence actually flows. No two charts are alike. That is why no generic horoscope can speak for you.

Personal by design

Nanu Maharaj holds that this knowledge was always meant to be applied at the level of the individual. It was never meant as broad public prediction. A reading is a mirror held up to one life. It shows your karmic patterns and your timings. It shows your strengths and your seasons of caution.

Guidance you can act on

The purpose is not fear but navigation. You learn when a favourable period opens for a venture or a marriage or a move. You also learn when patience serves better. That lets you work with your time rather than against it. Discerning families have used it this way for generations.

What a consultation can cover

A science of one. Yours alone and renewed every single day

No two charts are the same so no two paths are the same. Nanu Maharaj reads what is unique to you. He shows how each day carries its own opening if you know where to look. Four questions come up again and again.

The right business for you

Not business advice in general but the work your own chart is built for. Which line suits your nature. How to run it day to day. The rhythms and the people and the decisions that go with your grain rather than against it.

The right time to conceive

Guidance on the most favourable periods to welcome a child. It draws on the science of conception known as Garbhadhana and on your personal planetary timings. The most important beginning starts well.

The right moment to begin

Before a venture or a signing or a move or a wedding there is the muhurta. It shows which days and hours are open for you and which are better left to pass. This is the same timing the most careful families have always sought.

Clearing what holds you back

Where the chart shows negative planetary influence there are personal and practical remedies. Simple upayas and mantras suited to your own birth nakshatra can ease the weight and let things move again.

Beyond these a session is yours to lead. Marriage and compatibility. Children and family. Health timings. Property and vastu. A reading of the year ahead. Whatever you bring the chart has a place for it.

Published author

Six volumes. One purpose. This knowledge belongs to everyone.

In Vyaktigat Sanatan Jyotish Vidnyan("The Personal Eternal Science of Astrology") Nanu Maharaj sets down five decades of practice in deliberately simple language. In his own words he wrote it "for the welfare of all humanity so that individuals may understand and harmonise their own planetary energies."

The work treats the six personal branches of the Sanatan science.

  • Personal natal astrology and the planetary energies within you
  • Auspicious timing through muhurta
  • Personal vastu and the positive effects of directions
  • Mantra science for individual and collective use
  • Numerical astrology woven with the natal chart
  • Garbhadhana and Pumsavana for conception and early life

Common questions

Before you ask

I don't know my exact time of birth. Can I still get a reading?
Yes. Tick the box in the form and mention whatever you do know. Morning or evening. What your family remembers. Any record at all. Nanu Maharaj can perform birth time rectification. He works backwards from key events in your life to establish the chart. An exact time gives the sharpest reading. An unknown time is not a closed door.
Is a video consultation as accurate as meeting in person?
Yes. The reading is built from your birth details of date and time and place. These are the same whether you sit across the table or across the world. The chart is fully prepared before the session either way. Many of Nanu Maharaj's longstanding clients consult from abroad.
Why are the date and time and place of birth so important?
Because the chart is mathematics before it is interpretation. The exact planetary degrees and nakshatras and house positions at your moment of birth make the reading yours. They are read for your specific place on Earth. A few minutes of difference can shift the ascendant. A different city changes the sky. Precision in and precision out.
Will my information be kept private?
Completely. Nanu Maharaj has spent fifty years advising families whose affairs demanded absolute discretion. Confidentiality is the foundation of his practice. Your details are seen only by him and his office. They are used only to prepare and arrange your consultation.
What languages are sessions held in?
Hindi and English and Marathi. If you would prefer another language mention it in the form and the office will let you know what is possible.
How long is a session and how should I prepare?
Sessions are unhurried. They usually run around an hour and longer if your questions need it. The best preparation is simple. Send accurate birth details and come with the two or three questions that matter most to you. The chart will already be prepared when you arrive.
Can I book a reading for a family member?
Yes. Kundali matching for marriages and readings for children and family consultations are all common. Submit the birth details of the person concerned. Note in the message that you are booking on their behalf.
