Astrology Shashtra is divided into six Skandhas or main parts. Prashana Shashtra is the sixth Skandha of Astrology. So, we need to know what is Prashna Kundali. Prashna Shashtra deals with the casting of horoscopes for the time of the Prashana or query,event or thought. Any event decided by birth chart prediction and repeated in the Prashana chart/ Kundali is considered to be sure to occur. But reverse may not be possible. Both charts together confirm the happenings of past and present. The birth chart is map of the sky at the time of birth of a native, where as Prashana Kundali or chart is the map of event or time of query. Birth chart correct time may not be available but Prashana Kundali time is always correct as it is correctly known as it is at present.
A good dasha indicated by birth chart and a bad period predicted by Prashana Kundali indicate bad period of present life. A bad dasha in birth chart and good period according to Prashana chart leads to good present day happenings. Prashana chart supplements the birth chart to predict present day happenings. If birth chart is available in addition to Prashana Kundali, that is great help to confirm present day happenings.Some people want to get their life problems solved astrologically but they don’t know their birth datails,in such cases Prashana Kundali is the only way to solve their problems astrologically.
