Our mission
For thousands of years, Jyotisha, “the science of light”, has helped Indian families name their children, choose good days, match marriages and understand the seasons of life. Today it is too often used to frighten people, or to sell expensive remedies. At the same time, a new generation, especially families living far from India, is losing touch with the depth of this heritage.
We built AstroPrila to change that: a platform that is faithful to the classical texts, accurate because it is built on real astronomy, available in the languages families actually speak, and that always leaves a person calmer and stronger than before.
What we believe
No frightening predictions and no pressure. Every remedy we suggest is free: prayer, service, discipline and kindness.
Guidance comes from within each person’s own tradition, Hindu, Jain, Sikh, Buddhist, Christian, Muslim or spiritual.
Astrology is a lens for reflection and timing, not a guarantee, and never a substitute for a doctor, counsellor or other professional.
No sign-up is needed. We never sell or share personal details, and journals and saved charts stay on your own device.
How AstroPrila works
- Real astronomy. Planetary positions are calculated with Astronomy Engine, an open-source library whose positions agree with the U.S. Naval Observatory’s NOVAS to within about an arcminute, for the exact birth time and place, in the sidereal zodiac with the Lahiri ayanamsa adopted by the Government of India.
- Classical rules. Charts, divisional charts, dashas, yogas, doshas, Ashtakoota matching, panchang and muhurta follow the rules of the classical texts, implemented in code that can be checked.
- Careful use of AI. Written readings are prepared with advanced AI that is given the calculated chart and strict guidelines: warmth, honesty, the person’s own faith, and no fear. Crisis signs always lead to real helplines.
- Built to scale. Most calculations run on the visitor’s own device, there is no personal database to breach, and AI-written horoscopes are prepared once and shared, so the platform stays fast and dependable as it grows.
- Secure payments. Payments are handled by Stripe; card details never touch our servers. There are no subscriptions and no hidden charges.
- For everyone. AstroPrila works on any phone, and readings, horoscopes and reports come in English and 13 Indian languages, from Hindi and Bengali to Tamil and Tulu.

Our long-term aspiration
We hope one day to help establish a centre for the study of Jyotisha and the related sciences of ancient India, combining traditional scholarship with modern technology: preserving and digitising classical texts, studying their principles carefully and honestly, bringing scholars, astronomers and technologists together, and teaching the next generation. We welcome the guidance of scholars, institutions and community leaders who share this hope.
