Navneet Chitkara
Vedic Astrologer | Astro Scientist | Nav Vastu Expert | Educator | Founder, Rudra Vedic AcademyNavneet Chitkara
For more than 15 years, Navneet Chitkara has built his work in Vedic Astrology around a simple but important idea: astrology deserves to be studied with depth, approached with discipline and communicated with clarity. Known as the “Astro Scientist,” Navneet Chitkara is a certified international Vedic Astrologer and Nav Vastu expert, with qualifications including Jyotish Praveen and Jyotish Visharad from the Indian Council of Astrological Sciences (ICAS). His academic background also includes an MBA in Marketing and Finance and a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Applications - a combination that reflects the structured and analytical approach he brings to a traditional discipline. What distinguishes Navneet’s work is the depth with which he approaches a horoscope. Rather than limiting interpretation to the conventional birth or Lagna chart, his practice places strong emphasis on Divisional Charts and detailed Nakshatra analysis. His approach is rooted in understanding the finer layers of a chart and the context in which planetary placements actually operate - an area he believes is often overlooked in simplified astrological interpretation.

Dr. Shanker Adawal
Astrologer | Acclaimed Author | Spiritual GuideDr. Shanker Adawal
Bringing Ancient Astrological Wisdom into Contemporary Life Dr. Shanker Adawal represents a distinctive voice in contemporary Indian astrology - one shaped not merely by years of practice, but by a lifelong engagement with the subject as a field of study, research, writing and public guidance. His association with astrology began much before it became a formal pursuit. As a child, he watched his father - a senior bureaucrat with a deep interest in astrology - study horoscopes and discuss planetary influences and the complexities of human life. Those early observations awakened a curiosity that stayed with him and gradually developed into a disciplined study of astrology. Over the decades, that curiosity has grown into a body of work encompassing astrological research, authorship, interpretation, teaching and guidance. Alongside this lifelong engagement with astrology, Dr. Adawal pursued a strong academic and professional journey.

He further completed a three-year part-time Jyotish Alankar course from Jyotirgyata Mandal, Mumbai (2000–2003).
