What is RishiSetu?
RishiSetu (rishisetu.com) is an online learning app for Vedic astrology (Jyotish), numerology, Vastu Shastra and palmistry, in 10 languages, including Hindi and English. It teaches through short lessons, live charts and practice questions that explain every answer.
Which subjects does RishiSetu teach?
Four: Vedic astrology (Jyotish), numerology, Vastu Shastra and Hasta Samudrika (palmistry). Each is taught as four courses from Basic to Professional, and all of them are written. Astrology also has two electives, Lal Kitab and Nadi astrology in depth. Tarot is coming soon.
How do the courses and certificates work?
Every level ends with a mastery check and every course ends with an exam. Passing the exam earns the course’s certificate and opens the next course. The certificates run from Shishya (Basic) through Sadhaka and Vidvan to Acharya (Professional); in astrology the professional title is Daivajna.
Who is RishiSetu for?
Anyone who wants to learn Jyotish, numerology, Vastu or palmistry properly, from complete beginners to people who already know some and want structure and practice. It is written for learners across India, in their own language.
Do I need any knowledge of astrology to start?
No. Every subject starts from zero. The astrology course begins with what a chart is, and each lesson only asks about what earlier lessons have taught.
Is RishiSetu available in Hindi and other Indian languages?
Yes. The whole app and every lesson are in English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Marathi, Odia, Bangla, Malayalam, Gujarati and Kannada, and you can switch at any time without losing your progress.
Is RishiSetu free?
Right now every released lesson is open to use without payment.
What will I be able to do after Basic Astrology?
You will know the 12 rashis, 9 grahas, 27 nakshatras and 12 houses, judge where a graha is strong or weak, and read the layout of North, South and East Indian charts. Passing its exam earns the Jyotish Shishya certificate and opens Intermediate Astrology.
How is RishiSetu different from video courses?
Video courses explain while you watch. RishiSetu has you do the work on a chart after each idea, checks your answer against the calculated chart, explains why, and brings missed ideas back in review.
Which ayanamsha does RishiSetu use?
The Lahiri (Chitrapaksha) ayanamsha, recommended by India’s Calendar Reform Committee in 1955. Charts are calculated with the Swiss Ephemeris, and houses are whole-sign houses counted from the Lagna.
Where do the rules in the lessons come from?
Astrology rules name their classical source, mainly Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra, with Brihat Jataka and Phaladeepika for transits and yogas. Numerology has no classical Sanskrit source, so its rules are labelled as conventions.
Does RishiSetu predict the future or sell remedies?
No. RishiSetu teaches the methods of Jyotish and numerology. It does not promise that predictions come true, does not use fear, and does not sell remedies.
Is the AI guide accurate?
Guruji, the guide in the app, explains lessons and gives hints. Its replies are checked against the chart’s calculated facts before you see them, it only states rules from the lesson’s rule list, and it never gives away an answer before you submit.
What happens to my birth details?
You do not need them to learn. If you choose to see your own chart, your birth date, time and place are kept on your device.
