About Nanu Maharaj

A lifetime in the service of one science

For over fifty years, Nanu Maharaj has practised Vedic astrology — 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 — people who could seek counsel anywhere in the world, and who returned to him year after year, generation after generation. Decisions of marriage, succession, new ventures and difficult seasons were weighed with his charts on the table.

That kind of personal, deeply prepared reading has always been quietly available to the very few. Nanu Maharaj believes it should not be.Having distilled his life's learning into six published volumes, he has decided the time has come to open his practice — so that 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, and continues to write, teach and consult from India.

साक्षाद् भवेद् भाग्यनिरीक्षणाय सुनिर्मलादर्शतलं यथैव ।
शास्त्रं तु ज्योतिः परिदृश्यतेऽत्र ॥

"Just as the surface of a spotless mirror reveals one's reflection clearly, so does the science of Jyotisha reveal one's path distinctly."

From his writings · Volume One

Why this is a science

Not fortune-telling. Mathematics, observation, and fifty years of pattern.

Jyotisha is one of the six Vedangas — the limbs of the Vedas — and the only one founded entirely on direct observation. As Nanu Maharaj writes, where other disciplines rest on debate, this one rests on the sky itself.

A calculated chart, not a guess

Your reading begins with mathematics: the exact degrees of the planets at your moment of birth — their nakshatra and pada, whether direct or retrograde, rising or setting, and the houses through which their influence actually flows. No two charts are alike, which 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 — never as broad, public prediction. A reading is a mirror held up to one life: your karmic patterns, your timings, your strengths and your seasons of caution.

Guidance you can act on

The purpose is not fear, but navigation. Knowing when a favourable period opens — for a venture, a marriage, a move — and when patience serves better, lets you work with your time rather than against it. This is what discerning families have used it for, 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 — and shows how each day carries its own opening, if you know where to look. Four questions people bring to him 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, and how to run it day to day: the rhythms, the people, 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, drawn from the science of conception (Garbhadhana) and your personal planetary timings — so the most important beginning starts well.

The right moment to begin

Before a venture, a signing, a move, a wedding — the muhurta. Which days and hours are open for you, and which are better left to pass. 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, practical remedies — simple upayas and mantras suited to your own birth nakshatra — to 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, or a reading of the year ahead. Whatever you bring, the chart has a place for it.

How it works

Three simple steps to your reading

Share your birth details

Fill in the form below with your date of birth, exact time of birth, and place of birth (city and country), along with your contact details. The more precise the time, the sharper the chart.

Nanu prepares your chart

Your details go directly to Nanu Maharaj. He personally calculates and studies your janma kundali before you ever speak — your session begins with the work already done.

Meet — in person or on video

You'll be contacted to fix a convenient time. Sit with Nanu Maharaj in person in India, or from anywhere in the world over a video call. Bring your questions; the session is yours.

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 — written, in his own words, "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 — planetary energies in the individual
  • Muhurta — the science of auspicious timing
  • Personal vastu — the positive effects of directions
  • Mantra science — individual and collective application
  • Numerical astrology, woven with the natal chart
  • Garbhadhana & Pumsavana — 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, working backwards from key events in your life to establish the chart. An exact time gives the sharpest reading, but 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 — date, time and place — which 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 long-standing clients consult from abroad.
Why are the date, time and place of birth so important?
Because the chart is mathematics before it is interpretation. The exact planetary degrees, nakshatras and house positions at your moment of birth — at your specific place on Earth — are what make the reading yours. A few minutes' difference can shift the ascendant; a different city changes the sky. Precision in, 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, and only to prepare and arrange your consultation.
What languages are sessions held in?
Hindi, English and Marathi. If you'd prefer another language, mention it in the form and the office will let you know what's possible.
How long is a session, and how should I prepare?
Sessions are unhurried — typically around an hour, 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, readings for children, and family consultations are common. Submit the birth details of the person concerned and note in the message that you are booking on their behalf.
