Vedic Astrology Reference Library

These are reference facts on the grahas, houses, yogas and doshas — what each is, what it classically governs, and where the common misreadings lie. Each page states its figures rather than generalities, so they can be checked.

By Dr. R.P. Sharma — Vedic Astrologer, practising since 1979 · Reviewed 10 Jul 2026

Structured factual reference material on Vedic astrology concepts, compiled from classical texts and Dr. R.P. Sharma's 47 years of practice.

This is the quick-reference wing of the site: single-page fact sheets on rashis, doshas, gemstones, nakshatras, and timing — the details people actually look up mid-decision. Each sheet states the classical position plainly, without the fear-selling that surrounds topics like Mangal Dosha or Sade Sati.

Use the facts for a fast answer, the guides when you want the full method behind it, and the free kundli to see where any of it actually sits in your own chart.
