Stories from the Indian astrological tradition

Each story here is taken from a specific source text: the Bhagavata Purana, Padma Purana, Skanda Purana, Mahabharata, Ramayana, Buddhist Jataka tales, the Tamil Sangam corpus, the Bonbibir Johuranama of the Sundarbans, and oral folk traditions of Bengal, Tamil Nadu, and Maharashtra. Most teach an astrological or dharmic principle: a planetary remedy, a nakshatra origin, a yoga formed at birth, a karmic ledger paid back across lives. Reading time is 5 to 10 minutes per story. Every translation is hand-authored, not machine-generated.
