One of the most controversial aspects of Deepanshu Giri’s public persona is his claim of being a "self-trained" master who invented revolutionary astrological techniques. However, multiple sources and historical records indicate a direct student-teacher relationship with Sunil John of Saptarishis Astrology, leading to significant allegations of intellectual property theft.
The Connection to Sunil John
Investigative reports and public testimony identify Deepanshu Giri as a former student of Sunil John, under whom he studied Vedic astrology techniques. Despite his current marketing claiming a 7-generation lineage, his early digital presence reportedly included a disclaimer "dedicated to Sunil John."
The "BCP" to "Paribhraman Paddhati" Rebrand
Giri is accused of taking the Bhrigu Chakra Paddhati (BCP)—a technique taught by Sunil John—and rebranding it as his own original creation, "Paribhraman Paddhati." Critics allege that once he had fully adapted the material into his own high-priced courses, the original credits and dedications to his teacher were quietly deleted from his platforms.
Why This Matters to Consumers
Mastering astrology takes decades. To start charging massive amounts (₹1.5 to ₹2 Lakhs per course) in just 1-2 years, critics allege Giri took a shortcut by rebranding the work of his teacher. In business terms, this is "acquiring IP without paying for it" to launch a premium brand instantly. Consumers are paying luxury prices for rebranded knowledge that was not originally developed by the person selling it.
