Spiritual & Motivational Guest Speaker Paramita Chatterjee Shares Insights on Astrology at NABC Chicago 2024

Kolkata, (West Bengal), [India], August 24, 2024: In an exclusive interview, we sat down with Vishupriya Paramita Chatterjee, a renowned women astrologer who has been making waves in the spiritual community. Also known as Astro Paramita, she has years of experience and has helped countless individuals find clarity and direction through her insightful guidance.

As the CEO of Inspirational Ladies Org & Mindstrology Motivation, her areas of expertise include mindfulness, gemology, astrology, numerology, and Vaastu. Her recent appearance at the 44th North America Bengali Conference in NABC, Chicago 2024, has brought her special blend of Vedic astrology and mindfulness practices to the forefront.

Q: You recently spoke at a major conference. Could you give us a walk-through of what it was like representing India abroad?

A: Representing India as spiritual consultant at the 44th North America Bengali Conference (NABC) in Chicago on July 6th, 2024, was truly enlightening. As a female Indian astrologer, I felt a deep sense of responsibility in sharing our ancient wisdom with an international audience.

I led a session titled ‘Unlock the Stars: Discover the Secrets of Your Destiny with Vedic Astrology and Mindfulness in Modern Life.’ It was incredible to see how receptive the diverse audience was to integrating ancient Indian wisdom with modern practices.

Q: At the NABC Chicago 2024 conference, you received a special honour. What was that title, and what does it mean to you?

A: After the NABC, I was given the title of ‘Vishnupriya’ by the Maharaj of the Vivekananda Society Ashram, Swami Amohananda. To date, this humbling experience has motivated me to continue my work with an even greater purpose.

The title ‘Vishnupriya’ holds deep spiritual significance for me, as it signifies a devotee of Lord Vishnu and Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth and prosperity. It aligns with my belief in preserving and sharing cultural wisdom in a manner relevant to today’s world.

Q: After NABC Chicago 2024, where else did your journey take you? Were you invited as a guest speaker at any other events?

A: Yes, the journey continued. Following the NABC, I had the opportunity to share my insights and be a guest speaker at the Hyderabad Bengali Film Festival, where I explored the connection between astrology and personal destiny. Additionally, I conducted a healing session in Pushkar, Rajasthan, combining astrology, mindfulness, and meditation for a holistic approach to well-being.

Q: Vishupriya Paramita Chatterjee, can you tell us a bit about where you’re from? What are your roots?

A: I’m from Kolkata, India, a city rich in culture and spiritual traditions. My roots are closely entwined with the Indian culture and spirituality. I come from a family with a strong lineage in spiritual and astrological traditions. 

Q: Was there someone who served as an inspiration to begin your journey into astrology?

A: Absolutely. My grandfather, the late Monilal Chattopadhyay, was a respected figure in the field of astrology. He was my primary inspiration, and my father, Sri Prabir Chattopadhyay, guided me from a young age. 

Their profound knowledge of the art and science of astrology left a lasting impression on me. As a child, I was fascinated by their ability to decode celestial patterns and provide insightful guidance to people from all walks of life.

Q: How long have you been practicing astrology now? It must be quite a while, right?

A: Indeed, it has been a wonderful journey of over 17 years now. With each passing year, my understanding of the cosmos and its influence on human life deepens. I’m excited to share this knowledge through my courses and sessions, including Aatma depo Bhawa – Be your own light, a Jyotish and vastu learning course, and Aatmankriya, a mindfulness healing session and spiritual speaking.

Q: I’ve heard you’re running your own organisation. What’s it called, and what’s your role there?

A: Yes, I’m the CEO of Mindstrology Motivation. It’s an organisation working to empower individuals through the combined wisdom of brain science with mindfulness. 

By understanding the celestial influences and cultivating present-moment awareness, people can reach their full potential and live more fulfilling lives. We blend astrology with modern mindfulness techniques to help people navigate life’s challenges.

Q: How would you describe the role of your family in your spiritual journey?

A: My family has been my backbone throughout this journey. From my father and grandfather, whose research perspective laid the foundation, to my husband, son, in-laws, parents, and sisters – they’ve all been pillars of support. Their encouragement has been instrumental in allowing me to explore and share my knowledge with the world.

Q: You offer a wide range of services. Could you tell us about a few that you’re particularly passionate about?

A: I am passionate about all aspects of my work, but if I had to choose a few, I would say astrology, numerology, and mindfulness. Astrology provides profound insights into one’s personality and life path, while numerology offers a complementary perspective. Mindfulness, on the other hand, is the cornerstone of personal growth and well-being. 

I also love offering personalised astrological readings, numerology insights, and Vaastu consultations. My work in stress management, trauma healing, and crisis management is also very close to my heart as it allows me to directly impact people’s lives positively.

Q: What’s special about your approach that makes this old art feel relevant today?

A: My approach is rooted in the ancient wisdom of astrology but presented in a way that’s relevant today. It’s about finding harmony between the past and the present to help individuals navigate their lives with clarity and purpose.

Combining Vedic astrology with mindfulness, I help people understand their cosmic blueprint while giving them the necessary practical tools. I work to make these timeless insights accessible and applicable in today’s world, empowering individuals to make informed decisions and lead more balanced lives.

Vishupriya Paramita Chatterjee continues to inspire and guide people worldwide. She proves that ancient astrological wisdom, combined with modern mindfulness practices, can be a powerful tool for personal growth and self-discovery in the 21st century.
