Our mission

We are here to preserve and share the wisdom of Sanatan Dharma for the next generation. We do not treat astrology as fortune-telling; we treat it as a 5,000-year-old science of self-knowledge. We do not treat mantras as mere verses; we present them as living tools for healing, meditation, and higher consciousness. Every calculation, every name, every story is rooted in authentic scripture and shared with clarity, transparency, and respect for tradition.

Why we exist

Much of the Hindu spiritual content online is either translated badly, reduced to shallow social-media posts, or generated by SEO farms with no understanding of why a mantra or a festival matters. We started Vedic Time because a seeker in Mauritius, a student in Toronto, a grandmother in Mumbai and a researcher in Berlin all deserve the same depth of Sanatan Dharma — and a platform that explains how to live it.

Every page is designed for a global reader first. Sanskrit terms are introduced and translated. Regional variations are flagged when they exist. Astrological dates are given in your timezone, not a generic IST default. And the underlying assumptions are open — sidereal zodiac, Lahiri Ayanamsa, Drik school — so a serious student can verify our work.

How we calculate

All Panchang elements — Tithi, Nakshatra, Yoga, Karana, Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda, Gulika, Abhijit Muhurta, sunrise and sunset — are computed using sidereal positions based on the Lahiri (Chitrapaksha) Ayanamsa and astronomical algorithms derived from the Swiss Ephemeris. Times are localised to your selected city using IANA timezone data. Festivals follow the Drik (true astronomical) school. We never serve cached or estimated values for critical Muhurat windows.

How we research a festival, mantra or muhurat

1
Source check. We start with at least two primary references — classical Sanskrit text plus a contemporary peer-reviewed Panchang publication.
2
Computation. Dates, sunrise, sunset, Tithi transitions and muhurat windows are calculated freshly per request using the Lahiri Ayanamsa and the Swiss Ephemeris model. Nothing is hard-coded.
3
Cross-check. The output is compared against three independent published Panchangs (Drik, Kashi and a regional almanac such as Mahalaxmi) before any festival date is locked.
4
Drafting. A human editor writes the narrative. We do not use generative AI to draft, translate or expand any page on this site.
5
Review. A second editor reads the page end-to-end against the primary sources. Only then is it published.
6
Maintenance. Every published page carries an “updated” date. Material changes — new evidence, corrected dates, expanded explanations — bump that date and trigger a brief change-log note where significant.

Trust & transparency

Editorial standards

Sacred names, stotras and stories are transcribed from published Sanskrit editions and recognised recensions — never invented. Where a page follows a particular recension we name it; where an attribution is traditional but not textually verified, we label it as such rather than assert a chapter and verse. Meanings are working renderings, not literal one-to-one translations, and our commentary is kept separate from the text. Every page is dated. See our editorial policy for the full process.

Independence & funding

Vedic Time is independent. We do not sell rituals, readings or remedies, and we do not accept paid placements inside our content. The site is supported by display advertising and a small number of clearly-marked sponsor banners. Our editorial content and spiritual guidance are never influenced by advertisers.

Who writes this site

Vedic Time is produced by a small editorial and spiritual research team across India, Mauritius and Europe, working with published Sanskrit editions and long personal practice. The site itself is built and maintained by one in-house engineer. We publish under a team byline rather than attaching academic titles or credentials nobody here holds.

We do not publish anonymous spiritual advice and we do not run a content farm. A page without a personal byline is collectively owned by the editorial team — it does not mean nobody is responsible for it. Email us and a human replies.

Frequently asked questions

Is the site free?+

Yes. Every calculation, festival date, mantra, Sahasranama and horoscope is free to read with no account required. Optional account features (saved birth chart, comments, bookmarks) are also free.

Why are some articles long?+

Because Jyotish, mantras, festivals and Sanatan Dharma carry real depth. We would rather take 2,500 words to explain a mantra, a graha or a tithi correctly than write a shallow summary that misleads.

Do you offer personal readings or rituals?+

No. We deliberately do not sell paid Jyotish consultations, puja bookings or ritual services. We point readers toward qualified astrologers or temples in their own tradition where needed. This boundary keeps our editorial line clean.

Why English, Hindi, French and Russian?+

These four languages cover most of our actual reader base today. We add languages when we have a qualified human translator who can edit, not just translate. Machine-only translations are not published.

Can I republish your content?+

Short excerpts with a link back are welcome. Wholesale republishing of full articles or calculations is not permitted — see our Terms of Use.

How do you handle factual disputes?+

Email hello@vedics.live with the page and the specific claim. A human editor reviews the source; if your correction holds, we publish the fix within 48 hours with an “Updated” stamp.
