अनुभव-मार्गःPractitioner Path — Computation Meets Practice
Anubhava-mārga — Five modules on practical use — muhūrta selection, praśna methodology, varṣaphala analysis, aṣṭakūṭa compatibility, and daily nakṣatra-mantra practice. Computation in service of practice, not prediction.
श्रद्धावान् लभते ज्ञानं तत्परः संयतेन्द्रियः।
The one with śraddhā gains knowledge — devoted, with senses restrained. (Gītā 4.39)
The other four paths are foundational and interpretive. This path turns toward use: how does a practitioner actually consult the substrate in daily and consequential moments? Five practitioner-grade workflows, each anchored to classical text and engine surface.

Open module → - प्रश्न-विधिःPraśna-vidhi
Praśna — Horary Methodology
Answering specific questions from the chart of the moment-of-asking. The classical praśna methodology — when natal data is unknown or the question is time-sensitive.
Open module → - वर्षफल-गणनाVarṣaphala-gaṇanā
Varṣaphala — Annual Solar-Return Analysis
The Tājika annual-chart system — computing a fresh chart each year at the moment the Sun returns to its natal-longitude. Year-resolution timing.
Open module → - अष्टकूट-गुण-मेलनम्Aṣṭakūṭa-guṇa-melana
Aṣṭakūṭa — 8-Fold Compatibility

Daily Nakṣatra-Mantra Practice
Using the 27 nakṣatra-devatā mantras as a daily practice — the mantra-of-the-day based on the Moon's transit, with classical-text provenance.
