About OccultGuide

Published July 2026 • Updated November 2026 • 8 min read

OccultGuide is an AI you can ask anything. It answers only from the shastras, shows you the verse each answer stands on, and is run by someone with no remedy to sell you.

How it works

How the chat works

You ask a question in your own words, in English or Hindi. The chat searches the verses it has read, picks the ones that actually speak to your question, and answers in plain, everyday language. Under the answer sit the verses themselves: the Sanskrit, the translation and the exact reference, so you can read the text and judge the answer yourself.

Every answer shows its verse

An answer is only as good as the text under it. If no verse supports a claim, the chat does not make it.

Silence is said out loud

When the texts say nothing about something, you are told so plainly, rather than given a guess dressed up as scripture.

Disagreement stays visible

Where two texts or traditions differ, the chat shows both, rather than smoothing them into one comfortable answer.

Where a living teacher has explained a point well, the chat may draw on that too, and credits the teacher by name with a link to the moment in their talk.

Ask a question

The library

What it has read

The chat reads from 633,759 verses: all four Vedas, the principal Upaniṣads, the eighteen Mahāpurāṇas, the Rāmāyaṇa and the Mahābhārata, the Gītā, the Tantras, and texts on dharma, astrology, vāstu, kingship and love. You can read the same texts yourself in the library.

The Sanskrit is transcribed from printed editions and checked against a second witness; no verse is written by a model. The English and Hindi translations are our own, in plain everyday language. AI helps us draft them, and each is then checked against the Sanskrit before it is published. How we publish sets out every rule, and the translator page says who is answerable for them.

Boundaries

What it will not do

Clear boundaries are what make an answer worth trusting.

It will not frighten you into buying anything

No doṣa is named with false certainty, and no remedy is ever sold. Where a text gives a remedy, you get it as the verse gives it, free.

It is not a guru

It can tell you what the texts say. It cannot initiate you, and it does not replace a living teacher or the full text in its own context.

It will not hand out fierce practices as a how-to

Some tantric verses are traditionally kept for the initiated. For those the chat gives the Sanskrit and the reference, and explains what the text asks of a practitioner first.

It will not help anyone harm a person

Questions about black magic and the unseen get honest answers about what the texts say. Instructions to hurt someone do not, however the question is put.

Privacy

Your chats are private

People ask OccultGuide things they would not ask anyone else. So your chats are never sold or shared.

Locked on the way and at rest. Your chats are encrypted as they travel and while stored, with a key kept apart from our database.
No one at OccultGuide reads them. Our own tools have no screen that can show your chats.
Yours to delete. One chat, or everything, whenever you like.
Or keep nothing at all. Private chat saves nothing, not even on your device.

The full detail is in our privacy policy.

Money

How we are paid

Asking is free, up to a monthly limit. People who ask a lot, or want deeper answers, can buy a plan. That is the whole business.

No remedies

No pūjā, gemstone, yantra or ritual package is sold, and none ever will be.

No ads

Nobody pays to be placed inside an answer.

No selling your data

What you ask is never sold or shared with anyone.

Why this exists

Risks in this space

Fear is a business. Here is what is already happening to people who look for answers, each linked to where it is documented, and what the chat does about it.

Risk	Example	What the chat does
Financial exploitation	Fake five-star reviews with complaints buried, and hidden charges with pressure to keep paying mid-session.	A plan buys questions, at a price shown before you pay. No remedy, pūjā or gemstone is ever sold, and no answer ends in an upsell.
Manufactured fear	A 3M-subscriber YouTube sting caught astrologers on a major app warning of "impending misfortune" to sell pujas and gemstones. Separately, an operator used AI-generated "evidence" of a curse to manufacture urgency, then charged for the remedy.	When no classical text names a doṣa or a curse, the chat says so plainly. A threat with no verse behind it is called what it is.
Predatory "diagnosis" calls	Invented diagnostic video-call procedures used as a pretext to get a client alone, later used for blackmail. Documented pattern, no single public case to link.	There is no person on the other end and no call to book. You ask in writing; nobody at OccultGuide reads your chats.
Unsafe practice exposure	Fierce (ugra) practices — cremation-ground ritual, fierce-deity sādhanā — shown to complete beginners with no mention that tradition requires a guide first. Based on our own review of the space.	The chat explains what the texts say about such practices, and that they ask for initiation first. It never turns one into a step-by-step how-to.
Physical & psychological coercion	Maharashtra passed a law in 2013 specifically to address this kind of harm. A decade later, reporting found it is barely used — one district registered 58 cases in ten years with zero convictions.	Rites that harm a person are explained as history, with the harm and the consequence, never as instructions, however the question is framed.
Spiritual-authority abuse	A Nashik-based self-styled godman, Ashok Kharat, is under investigation (2026) for allegedly drugging and sexually exploiting over 150 women across 12 cases in Maharashtra — using a claimed "divine power" and threats of harm to their families as leverage.	The chat claims no power over you. It is not a guru, and it points to the verse so you can judge the answer yourself.
Fatal harm	In 2003, India's Supreme Court sentenced a man to death for sacrificing a 9-year-old child before a deity, ruling plainly that "superstition cannot and does not provide justification for any killing."	Tradition explains where a practice came from. It does not get the final word on whether we give instructions for it.

Teachers and creators

We cite teachers, we don't republish them

When the chat draws on a teacher's talk, it names the teacher and links to the exact moment in the video, so the listener goes to you for the full teaching. We do not put your talks on our site, and we never claim your teaching as ours.

If a credit is wrong, or you would rather not be drawn on at all, tell us and we will fix it. And if you would like to work with us, we would be glad to hear from you through the contact page.

Who runs OccultGuide

We are not gurus and we are not sādhakas. OccultGuide is made by one software engineer who wants anyone, anywhere, to be able to read what the shastras actually say, without paying someone to frighten them first.
