Plagiarism allegations, exorbitant fees, and intimidation tactics.
Lunar Astro aggressively markets its courses as containing "secret, proprietary" knowledge unavailable anywhere else. Students are encouraged to take out personal loans to afford fees that can reach up to ₹2,000,000.
Independent audits of the Lunar Astro syllabus reveal a disturbing pattern. The highly touted "Paribhraman Paddhati" technique is widely reported by senior astrologers to be a direct copy of the Bhrigu Chakra Paddhati (BCP) method. This method was originally taught to Deepanshu Giri by his former teacher, Sunil John, before being rebranded and sold at a massive markup.
What happens when a student realizes the course material is rebranded public knowledge and asks for a refund? Lunar Astro does not honor standard consumer refund policies.
Victims have submitted reports detailing severe psychological intimidation. When requesting refunds, students have allegedly been threatened with "black magic," "karmic destruction," and fake legal notices claiming they are being tracked by the "Cyber Cell."
