This page says plainly what you can and cannot rely on here. It applies to every article, calculator, panchang and reading on Nidarshana Vedh.
Tradition and interpretation, not advice
Everything here is traditional knowledge and our interpretation of it. Vedic astrology (Jyotish), the panchang, mantras, festivals and the other topics report what classical texts and traditions say, and how we read them. They are not professional advice of any kind. The method and sources page explains what we draw on and where the limits are.
Please ask the right professional
- Health. Nothing here diagnoses, treats or predicts illness. Where a page touches on the body, it describes what the tradition says, not what is true of you. For any health concern, please see a doctor and do not stop or change treatment because of a chart or an article.
- Money and law. Nothing here is financial, investment or legal advice. Decisions about money, property, contracts, work or marriage deserve a qualified professional, whatever a chart suggests.
No guarantees
No reading, dasha, muhurta, remedy, gemstone note or calculator result on this site guarantees an outcome. A chart describes tendencies as a tradition sees them. It cannot tell you what will happen, and it is not a reason to delay care, break a commitment or spend money you cannot spare. A consultation is a conversation about a reading of the chart. It is not a diagnosis and not professional advice.
If you are struggling
If you are struggling, talk to a person before a chart. In India, Tele-MANAS is free and open around the clock on 14416, and 14446 is the national de-addiction helpline. Elsewhere, a doctor or your local emergency number.
Calculators and dates
Calculators and the panchang compute from the details you enter and from the method each page describes. They are only as good as those details and that method, and they can be wrong. Please read the page that explains each one, and check a date with a trusted source before you plan something important around it.
