Lunar Astro Investigation: Comprehensive FAQ

The main allegations include fraudulent practices such as 'bait-and-switch' consultation tactics, intellectual property theft (specifically the BCP technique), the use of fake reviews and SEO manipulation to hide negative feedback, and operating a 'troll farm' to intimidate critics. There are also significant concerns regarding fabricated timelines of his astrological lineage and corporate irregularities.

Independent investigations and his own past statements strongly contradict this claim. Prior to 2018, Giri was a freelance technician in underwater robotics. He admitted on public forums like Quora that he was entirely 'self-taught' in palmistry and astrology, treating it as a hobby. His father was an IIT engineer who reportedly stopped believing in astrology.

In his previous career as an ROV Supervisor in robotics, Giri was strictly accountable; if a robot failed, he wouldn't get paid. In astrology, there is zero objective accountability. If a prediction fails, he can blame 'bad karma,' 'wrong birth time,' or 'improper remedy performance,' allowing for massive charging with zero liability.

Clients pay premium fees (often ₹10,000 or more) expecting a one-on-one consultation with Deepanshu Giri. Instead, they are assigned to inexperienced proxy students or junior staff who operate under anonymous codes (e.g., Astrologer #5007). Clients report receiving vague, generic, or inaccurate information from these nameless practitioners.

Lunar Astro's flagship 2-year course costs between ₹1.5 to ₹2 Lakhs. This is 6 to 7 times more expensive than established, non-profit institutions like Bhartiya Vidya Bhavan, which charges approximately ₹41,000 for a complete 2-year path taught by recognized scholars and published authors.

No. Based on official records, Lunar Astro courses carry no formal academic certification or government recognition from bodies like the UGC, AICTE, or IGNOU. The certificates issued are internal to the Lunar Astro Vedic Academy and hold no official standing in the educational or professional regulatory system.

This appears to be a marketing myth. Independent investigations reveal that not a single student has achieved verifiable, independent success outside the Lunar Astro ecosystem. 'Successful' graduates are typically absorbed into Lunar Astro's internal panel, stripped of their identities, and forced to operate under anonymous codes.

Deepanshu Giri claims to have invented a 'revolutionary' technique called 'Paribhraman Paddhati.' However, former colleagues and investigations allege that he stole the Bhrigu Chakra Paddhati (BCP) technique from his teacher, Sunil John of Saptarishis Astrology, and rebranded it as his own without proper attribution.

Giri heavily markets his ability to perform past life astrological readings. He claims to use these readings to identify the root causes of present-day insecurities and life challenges, a practice critics argue is used to exploit the emotional vulnerability of desperate clients.

Critics argue Giri uses his engineering background to build a logical-sounding trap. By using technical jargon, he makes spiritual claims feel 'scientific.' This tactic bypasses the critical thinking of educated professionals who are in a vulnerable state (such as facing job loss or divorce).

Domain flooding is an SEO manipulation tactic. Giri reportedly manages several domains like lunarastro.org, lunarastro.com, and consultlunarastro.com to dominate search engine results. This ensures his marketing material and manufactured positive reviews push negative feedback and complaints to later pages.

Investigations suggest that corporate entities linked to Giri have been marked with a 'Struck Off' status on the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) portal, indicating a failure to comply with statutory filings. This contradicts his public claims of massive wealth and ₹14 crore in profits.

Under Section 447 of the Companies Act, 2013, which addresses fraud in companies, if a director willfully falsifies books of accounts with intent to defraud and the amount involved is at least ₹10 lakh, the punishment is imprisonment for 3 to 10 years.

Victims who post negative reviews claim to be targeted by a coordinated 'troll farm' of proxy students. These individuals allegedly issue threats of police action and 'Cyber Cell Tracking' to intimidate critics into deleting honest reviews.

You can use the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) portal to check the Master Data for their Corporate Identification Number (CIN). For a small fee, you can download actual Balance Sheets and Annual Returns filed by the company to compare against their claimed profits.

No. There is a distinct, separate, and violent scam reported by a different astrologer named 'Gavindu' (who also uses 'cosmic' themes) reported for extortion in Australia. This is not directly related to Lunar Astro or Deepanshu Giri.

Consumers should avoid high-value prepayments without verifiable guarantees, research reviews on independent platforms (like MouthShut or Reddit) rather than relying on easily manipulated Google or Trustpilot reviews, demand transparency regarding who will conduct the consultation, and verify corporate claims using official government portals like the MCA.

Victims of bait-and-switch tactics or low-quality services report success by initiating chargebacks through their banks or credit card providers, citing 'service not provided as described.' Additionally, victims can file official complaints through platforms like India’s National Consumer Helpline (INGRAM).
