She has authored several books such as Jyotish Tattva: The Foundation of Vedic Astrology – Part 1 and Threads of Thoughts, and offers a modern take on traditional Vedic, numerological and esoteric practices.
Background and Practice
Though detailed biographical data (education, early life) is sparse in readily-available sources, what is clear is that Dr. Gupta has built a presence both through her books and via social media and consultation practice. For example, she is featured in an interview/profile in AspiringShe magazine, where she is introduced as “Padma Shri (2018) nominated candidate, winner of various awards like Jyotish Ratna, Young Women Achiever in astrology”.
Under the Purohit Astrology brand, she offers a mix of services: Vedic astrology, KP (Krishnamurti Paddhati) astrology, horary astrology, numerology, tarot reading, palmistry, Reiki healing. Her Instagram profile confirms the broad spectrum.
The multi-disciplinary angle (astrology + numerology + healing) allows her to cater to clients seeking both predictive insight and personal transformation.
Literary Work & Themes
Dr. Gupta has authored several titles that reflect her interest in the foundational as well as applied aspects of astrology and numerology. Key works include:
-
Jyotish Tattva: The Foundation of Vedic Astrology (Part 1) — published by Manda Publishers, described as “celebrated Vedic astrologer … founder of Purohit Astrology”.
-
Jyotish Sastra — aligning with her focus on the science (Sastra) of Jyotish (Vedic Astrology).
-
The Talking Numbers – Part 1 & Part 2 — suggesting a focus on numerology and how numbers “communicate” underlying patterns.
-
Threads of Thoughts — likely a more reflective or essay-style work, integrating astrology with personal/spiritual insights. (E.g., her Instagram reel referencing “Threads of Thoughts by Dr. Purnima Gupta”.)
Across these works, a few themes emerge:
-
Foundation & clarity: With Jyotish Tattva she aims to lay out the foundational principles of Vedic astrology in modern language.
-
Applied insight: Books like The Talking Numbers focus on numerology as a tool for interpreting life patterns.
-
Holistic transformation: Through her combined practice (astrology + numerology + healing) she aims at empowering clients, not only predicting events.
-
Contemporary relevance: Her social-media presence shows she engages with audiences on modern questions (“Are you born to spend more to come…?”, “Unlock the secrets of your stars”).
Why Her Work Resonates
-
Bridging tradition and accessibility: Dr. Gupta’s work simplifies ancient techniques (Vedic, KP, numerology) into accessible formats for today’s reader.
-
Multi-dimensional service: Beyond mere prediction, her offerings (tarot, palmistry, Reiki) cater to people seeking emotional/spiritual support.
-
Strong engagement: With a large social-media following (Instagram, Threads) and published works, she cultivates both breadth and depth of reach.
-
Personal branding: Her positioning as a “spiritual mentor” helps readers/viewers feel they are entering a meaningful journey, not just consulting an expert.
Considerations for Readers/Clients
-
Choose the right service: If you seek predictive astrology (Vedic/KP) vs. numerology vs. holistic healing, clarify which service is relevant.
-
Check credibility and fit: While her credentials and books are visible, as with all esoteric services, client-reviews and personal resonance matter.
-
Use books as starting point: If you’re new to astrology or numerology, her foundational texts (like Jyotish Tattva) can be a non-threatening introduction.
-
Integration vs. prediction: Her model leans toward integration (self-understanding, transformation) rather than just “what will happen”; be open to that.
-
Pragmatic expectations: Astrology, numerology, healing can offer insight and perspective—but they don’t guarantee outcomes. Use them as guides.
Final Thoughts
Dr. Purnima Gupta represents a modern face of Indian astrology: rooted in tradition, yet engaging with the contemporary seeker. Her books, such as Jyotish Tattva and The Talking Numbers, provide inviting entry-points into systems that can otherwise feel opaque. For those intrigued by the wider field of astrology, numerology and spiritual wellness, her work offers both structure (foundational teaching) and application (practical insight + healing). Whether one picks up her texts or books a consultation, what emerges clearly is the emphasis on empowerment: “knowing your stars, understanding your numbers, and aligning your path”.
