Tool Finder: Every Free Tool on Our Five Sites

The tool finder lists every free tool on our five sites in one place: the Vastu tools of this site, the Vedic astrology, panchang and muhurat tools of Nidarshana Vedh, and the tools of our Jain, Ayurveda and Cosmos sites, which covers Western astrology, numerology and tarot. Type what you want to know in the box above, in your own words, such as kitchen vastu, griha pravesh or am I manglik, and the tools that answer it come first. Or choose a need, such as Love and marriage or Home and workplace, to see every tool for it.

How it works

Each tool’s name and line are the ones its own site’s tools page shows, gathered from the pages of the five sites into one list. In every group the tools of this site come first. As you type, the finder looks for your words in each tool’s name, its classical name, its line and the words of its page title, and for a few tools in the names they list (the herbs of the herb lookup, the stones of the two gemstone tools, the festivals of the two festival dates tools), and ranks first the tools whose names hold them; a rare word counts for more than a common one. Words such as what, when, my or calculator are left out, and a few spellings and names count as the same word: kundli and kundali, shani and Saturn, vivah and marriage, muhurat and muhurta, paryushan and paryushana, neelam and blue sapphire. Everything happens in your browser, and what you type is not sent anywhere.

Two choices narrow the list. The site list keeps the tools of one site only. The need buttons keep one group: the groups of the Vedic site’s tools page, About me, Love and marriage, My timing, Good days, Prayer and remedies, Family and names and For students, and four more for the other sites: Home and workplace for Vastu and feng shui, Body, food and daily routine for Ayurveda, Jain practice and calendar, and Tarot and other readings.

Reading the result

The box at the top shows the best matches, up to six, and the list under it keeps every tool that holds all your words, each under its need. Each line gives the tool’s name as a link, the site it is on, its classical name where it has one, and what it does. A tool on another of our sites opens on that site, and the email check you have done on one of our sites counts on all five. When no tool holds every word, the finder says so and shows the tools that hold the most of them.

Where traditions differ

The same question can have more than one answer on our sites, because each site follows its own tradition, and the finder lists both. Your sign, for example, is the Vedic sidereal sign on Nidarshana Vedh and the Western tropical sign on Cosmos, and the two can differ; the your sign in both systems tool shows them side by side. A dosha in astrology, such as Mangal dosha, is a placement in the birth chart, while the three doshas of Ayurveda, vata, pitta and kapha, describe the body’s constitution; the two ideas are unrelated. Jain parva days follow the Jain rule for a skipped or doubled tithi, so a Jain calendar and a Hindu panchang can name a day differently. Each tool’s page says which tradition and which rules it follows.

What it does not do

It does not work anything out: it only points to the tool that does. It lists our own free tools, not the paid Pro tools, our articles or other websites. It does not keep what you type. The list is made from the five sites’ own tool pages, so a tool added since then shows first on its own site’s tools page, such as this site’s tools page.
