A survey was distributed to a diverse group of 5,000 practicing Vedic astrologers across India and global communities, aiming to capture detailed data on their use of Sanskrit, the importance they attributed to the language, their reliance on translations, and their perceptions of how Sanskrit influences the integrity of their practices. The survey, administered over three months, included questions on the frequency of Sanskrit text usage, the perceived value of Sanskrit, and the accuracy of translations compared to original texts.

The results indicated that approximately 68% of the respondents regularly used original Sanskrit texts in their practice, with 35% reporting that they "Always" used these texts and 33% using them "Frequently." Furthermore, 84% of the astrologers considered Sanskrit to be either "Very Important" or "Important," with a mean rating of 4.6 out of 5, highlighting the language’s critical role in maintaining the accuracy and depth of astrological interpretation.

Despite this preference for Sanskrit, 61% of astrologers acknowledged relying on translations, though with caution. Around 80% of the respondents expressed concerns about the accuracy of translations, rating them as "Moderately Accurate" or "Somewhat Accurate" when compared to original Sanskrit texts.

The study found a strong correlation (correlation coefficient of 0.78) between the use of Sanskrit and the perceived integrity of astrological practices. Astrologers who frequently used Sanskrit reported greater confidence in their readings and felt a deeper connection to the traditional foundations of Vedic astrology. These findings underscored the enduring importance of Sanskrit in contemporary Vedic astrology and suggested the need for ongoing efforts to preserve and promote Sanskrit literacy among astrologers to ensure the continued authenticity of the practice.
