What is Astrology
Astrology is the effect of distant cosmic objects like stars and planets on human life. According to astrology, the position of star and planet at the time of
their birth time affects the personality of the human being and the entire life of the person.
Astrology is derived from the Greek word astrologia. Astron means constellation or star and logia means study of or utterance. Thus, literal meaning of
Astrology is "the Science of the Stars".

What is Vedic Astrology?

Vedic astrology is the traditional system of astrology of India that is more than 5000 years old. It is also known as Jyotish,
Indian astrology, Eastern astrology, or Hindu astrology.
Vedic astrology is an excellent tool for helping us understand our dharma or life purpose as well as for giving us specific
timetables for making decisions about career, finances, relationship, health, spiritual growth, etc. It is based on the sidereal
zodiac, which calculates the positions of the planets according to observable astronomy.

What is KP System?
This is an excellent system (Paddhati) of astrological predictions conceived and created by the great Indian astrology master
late Prof. K.S. Krishnamurti. Thus, this Krishnamurti Paddhati, which is famously known as KP System, is based on finer
points of Indian and Western astrology and borrows important concepts from many branches of astrology.
KP System is regarded as the most accurate system of present time. Contrary to classical Hindu astrology, KP system is
systematic and very well defined.

What is Lal Kitab?

Lal Kitab is a one of the most important branches of Vedic astrology. It is the collection of the five books, which were written
during the period of 1939-1952. It is written in ancient Urdu language. First time in the history of astrology, Lal Kitab
introduced a different trend of horoscope analysis with the fast and affordable remedies.
Lal Kitab remedies are affordable, easy, and they provide quick results. The effect of remedies is unbelievable. It is said that
these remedies are specially suitable for quick results in Kaliyuga as the traditional methods viz. mantra, yagna, japa,
havana etc. have become very difficult in todays era.
