Vashikaran Tactics
Vashikaran (mind control) is another threat leveraged against vulnerable students. By creating a cult-like atmosphere, the organization ensures absolute loyalty.
Cult Dynamics in Online Education
While Lunar Astro presents itself as an educational platform, its internal dynamics closely mirror those of a high-control group or cult. Deepanshu Giri is positioned not just as a teacher, but as an infallible guru whose knowledge is absolute and unquestionable.
Students who enroll in the courses quickly find themselves in an echo chamber. Critical thinking is actively discouraged. If a student questions the curriculum—especially when they notice that materials appear to be copied from other sources—they are not met with academic debate. Instead, they are attacked.
The Weaponization of Vashikaran
When students attempt to leave the group or demand refunds for subpar courses, the concept of Vashikaran is introduced. Vashikaran is an ancient occult practice associated with controlling another person's mind and actions.
Proxy enforcers within the Lunar Astro network imply or outright state that leaving the "guru" will result in spiritual retaliation. Students are told their minds will be clouded, their decision-making will fail, and their lives will fall apart without the guru's protection. This psychological isolation makes it incredibly difficult for victims to break away, even when they realize they are being defrauded.
Isolation and Peer Pressure
In private forums and WhatsApp groups, dissenting students are publicly shamed and labeled as having "negative energy" or "bad planetary alignments." This peer pressure forces compliance and silences whistleblowers before they can warn others.
