Who Is Krishnamurti
KP SYSTEM
Prof. K.S. Krishnamurti revolutionized Vedic astrology in the 20th century by creating the Krishnamurti Paddhati (KP System), a stellar system that refines traditional Parashari principles with an emphasis on sub-lords and cuspal analysis. Born in 1908 in Tamil Nadu, he spent decades researching why classical predictions sometimes failed and discovered that the sub-lord of a cusp — not merely the sign lord — holds the decisive key to whether a promise in the horoscope will actually materialize.
His system divides each Nakshatra into unequal sub-portions governed by specific planets, creating a 249-sub-lord table that allows astrologers to pinpoint events with extraordinary precision. The KP approach to ruling planets — identifying the lords of the day, Nakshatra, Ascendant sign, and Moon sign at the moment of query — provides a rapid filtering mechanism for confirming predictions, making it especially powerful for Prashna (horary) astrology and yes/no questions.
Krishnamurti's six-volume masterwork, Krishnamurti Paddhati Readers, systematically demonstrates how Dasha-Bhukti-Antara (DBA) periods interact with sub-lord significations to time events such as marriage, career changes, property acquisition, and health crises down to the exact week. His method has gained a massive global following among practitioners who demand verifiable, date-specific predictions rather than vague generalities.
“The sub-lord alone decides whether a planet will give the results of the house or deny them — this is the cornerstone of precise prediction.”
— Krishnamurti Paddhati Reader I
Ancient Wisdom, Modern Clarity
Three core insights this ancient system can illuminate in your life.
उप-स्वामी विश्लेषण
In the KP System, the sub-lord of each cusp is the final authority on whether a house promise will manifest or remain dormant. While traditional astrology stops at the sign lord, KP drills deeper into the Nakshatra lord and then the sub-lord — a planet that governs a tiny arc within the Nakshatra. This three-tier signification (sign lord → star lord → sub-lord) creates a laser-focused prediction framework that can distinguish between two people born minutes apart.
घटना समय सटीकता
KP astrology excels at pinpointing exactly when an event will occur by analyzing the Dasha-Bhukti-Antara (DBA) sequence in conjunction with transit of ruling planets over significator cusps. The system identifies the precise window — often narrowed to a specific week or even day — when the transiting planets simultaneously satisfy the conditions set by the natal sub-lord significations, making it the gold standard for timing marriages, job changes, and medical events.
शासक ग्रह विधि
The Ruling Planets technique is a unique KP innovation for instant verification of predictions. At the moment of judgment, the astrologer notes the lords of the Ascendant sign, Ascendant star, Moon sign, Moon star, and the day lord. These ruling planets act as cosmic witnesses — if a significator planet for an event also appears among the ruling planets, it powerfully confirms the prediction. This method is especially effective in Prashna (horary) charts for answering yes/no questions with remarkable reliability.
Ask Krishnamurti
Here are some questions seekers commonly bring to this guru. Tap to reveal the answer.
Will I get a job change in the next 6 months according to KP analysis?
10TH CUSP · SUB-LORD · CAREER CHANGE
In KP astrology, job change is analyzed through the sub-lord of the 10th cusp and its connection to houses 2, 6, 10, and 11 (signifying new income, service conditions, career, and gains respectively). If the 10th cusp sub-lord is a significator of the 5th house (change from current position) and simultaneously connects to 6-10-11, a change is strongly indicated. The exact timing is determined by identifying the DBA (Dasha-Bhukti-Antara) period where the operating planets are significators of these same houses, cross-verified with the Ruling Planets at the moment of your query to confirm or deny the event within your specified 6-month window.
Can KP astrology tell me the exact timing of my marriage?
7TH CUSP · DBA TIMING · MARRIAGE
Marriage timing is one of KP astrology's strongest applications. The 7th cusp sub-lord must be a significator of houses 2, 7, and 11 for marriage to be promised in the horoscope at all — if the sub-lord instead signifies houses 1, 6, or 10 (separation indicators), marriage faces delays or denial. Once promise is confirmed, the DBA period where all three operating planets (Dasha lord, Bhukti lord, Antara lord) are significators of 2-7-11 identifies the marriage window. The ruling planets at the moment of analysis then narrow this to a specific month, and the transit of the 7th cusp sub-lord over a ruling planet's star pinpoints the likely week of the event.
What do the ruling planets at this moment say about my question?
RULING PLANETS · PRASHNA · VERIFICATION
Ruling planets are computed fresh at the exact moment you ask your question — they include the lord of the Ascendant sign, the lord of the Ascendant Nakshatra, the lord of the Moon sign, the lord of the Moon Nakshatra, and the day lord. These five planetary pointers act as cosmic validators: if the significator planets for your desired event (say, houses 2-7-11 for marriage) appear among the ruling planets, the event is strongly confirmed and will likely manifest during the DBA period of those very planets. If none of the ruling planets are connected to the relevant houses, the event is either not promised or requires a longer waiting period beyond the current planetary configuration.
Why do two people born at the same time have different destinies in KP?
ASCENDANT SUB-LORD · BIRTH TIME · TWINS
This is precisely the question that drove Krishnamurti to develop the KP System. In traditional astrology, twins or near-simultaneous births produce virtually identical charts, yet their lives diverge significantly. KP resolves this through the sub-lord concept — even a few minutes' difference shifts the Ascendant sub-lord, which governs the native's fundamental life direction. The 249 sub-lord divisions are so fine-grained that a shift of 2-3 minutes can move a cusp into a different sub-lord's domain, completely altering which houses that cusp's promise activates. This granularity is why KP practitioners insist on birth time rectification to the nearest minute before beginning any analysis.

What Seekers Say

“I was skeptical about astrology until I experienced KP analysis firsthand. The astrologer predicted my daughter's wedding would happen in the third week of March based on 7th cusp sub-lord and DBA analysis — it happened on March 19th. The precision of sub-lord theory is genuinely remarkable and has converted me from a skeptic to a devoted student of the KP system.”

“After three years of failed attempts, KP analysis identified the exact DBA window when my competitive exam success was promised through the 9th and 11th cusp sub-lords. I cleared CA finals in that very attempt. The ruling planets confirmation at the time of my Prashna gave me confidence when I needed it most. KP is not vague — it gives you dates and delivers on them.”

“मैंने केपी ज्योतिष से अपने करियर परिवर्तन का सटीक समय जाना। 10वें भाव-शीर्ष के उप-स्वामी और शासक ग्रहों ने बताया कि जुलाई के दूसरे सप्ताह में मुझे नया प्रस्ताव मिलेगा — और ठीक 11 जुलाई को मुझे ऑफर लेटर मिला। इतनी सटीकता किसी अन्य प्रणाली में संभव नहीं है। अब हर महत्वपूर्ण निर्णय से पहले केपी विश्लेषण अवश्य कराता हूँ।”
