The four sittings · चतुष्पद्धति · Vol I · 2026

A ladder, not a menu. The Sanskrit names map to depth, not to duration.

Four tiers. One has a public price; three are quoted in writing once the question is on the table. Each carries a Sanskrit name because the names map to what the relationship asks of both sides.

Read the question on each card. The right tier is usually the one that names what you have been carrying.

How the first conversation works

No checkout. A short message, then a real reply.

i · you write

One paragraph

By WhatsApp or email. The shape of the question, not the history.

ii · we read

Within a working day

Astro Laksha or The Architect replies — not an assistant, not a bot.

iii · we name

The right tier

If the question fits Darśana, we say so. If it asks for Sannidhi, we say that too.

iv · you decide

No pressure

The first reply is always free. Saying no is a complete answer.

A note on price

We charge what the work costs to do well, slowly, by hand. Price is not a signal of quality; it is a function of time, cadence, and confidentiality. The floor is the same at every tier. A ₹9,999 Darśana and a ₹12,99,000 Sannidhi rest on the same algebra. The difference is how often we sit, and what we are willing to carry between sittings.

We do not run promotions. We do not discount. If a price is wrong for you, that is information. The right answer is sometimes a different tier; sometimes it is no tier at all.
