Interim notice, version 0.11, 18 Oct 2026, pending FORE's final text
This notice describes how the website works today. FORE is preparing the final text; when it is approved it will replace this page, and the version and date above will change.
These terms apply when you use this website, run by FORE (Foundation for Organisational Research and Education), New Delhi, for its School of Vedic Sciences. By using the site you accept them.
What the site offers
Panchang and festival dates, calculators for kundli, nakshatra and matching, the Shunya library, accounts with saved charts, PDF reports and memberships, and information about the School’s programme and admissions.
Everything here is offered for study. Read the disclaimer: nothing on the site is a prediction, advice or a remedy.
Your account
You sign in with a code sent to your email or WhatsApp, so keep access to them to yourself. One account goes with one email address or mobile number. We may suspend an account that is used to misuse the site.
Fair use
Please do not copy the site in bulk with automated tools, overload it, try to get around its security, or enter another person’s details without their agreement.
Purchases
Prices are in rupees, include GST and are shown before you pay. PDF reports are one-time purchases. A membership lasts one month or one year from the day of payment and does not renew automatically. Payments are handled by Razorpay.
While these interim terms are in force, checkout runs in test mode and no real payment is taken. Refunds are covered by the refund and cancellation terms.
The programme and admissions
Sending an application does not guarantee admission. Admission, fees and certificate wording are as published by FORE on the programme page and in the offer of admission.
Content
The text, diagrams and calculations on the site belong to FORE unless stated otherwise. You may use them for personal, non-commercial study and quote them with credit to the School. Place names and coordinates come from GeoNames (geonames.org) under the CC BY 4.0 licence.
Accuracy and availability
Positions are calculated from the NASA JPL ephemeris with the Lahiri ayanamsa, and we check them, but we cannot promise that the site is free of errors or always available. To the extent the law allows, FORE is not responsible for decisions you make on the basis of the site.
Law and changes
These terms are governed by the laws of India. They are interim and will be replaced by FORE’s final terms; the version and date at the top of this page will change when that happens.
