Chakra Darshana Free

Software for Jyotish, Vedic astrology (free version).

This is a free version of Chakra Darshana - an Android application for Jyotish, Vedic astrology (see http://www.chakra.lv).

This application provides the same set of features and calculations as the full version of Chakra Darshana, with the following limitations:

* for past and future dates, only selected cell types with essential information are provided

* notifications about rashi and nakshatra transits or direct and retrograde motion are not supported

* saving and loading of archive record files (as well as import from external formats) are not supported

This free version is thus mostly meant as a demo for the full version, allowing you to get acquainted with the features and to verify whether calculations are performed correctly, but it is also perfectly useful on its own for working with prashna, following the current gochara, and doing short-term planning.
