Medhā Shastra · मेधा शास्त्र
What did the ancient texts say about the crown of your head?
Photograph the top of the head — no face needed. BrainShastra reads the crown's shape, its hair whorl and the hair itself against the Bṛhat Saṃhitā and the Charaka Saṃhitā, and tells you how that mind grasps, holds and remembers.

Three things the photo reads
Each one is measured on your phone, shown to you, and correctable with one tap before the reading is written.
Umbrella, rounded or long
Varāhamihira's Bṛhat Saṃhitā gives kings a head "shaped like an umbrella" — chatrākāra. Buddhaghosa describes the great person's crown as round "like a water bubble".
Bṛhat Saṃhitā, puruṣa-lakṣaṇa · Dīgha Nikāya, Lakkhaṇa SuttaDakṣiṇāvarta or vāmāvarta
The right-turning conch is kept in shrines; the left-turning one is rare. Your crown's whorl turns one way or the other — and how many whorls you have has its own sayings.
Great-person marks · folk tradition, labelled as suchYour medhā nature
Charaka describes each body type by its hair and its mind together: thick glossy hair with a long memory; fine hair that greys early with a sharp mind; light dry hair that grasps fast.
Charaka Saṃhitā, Vimāna-sthāna 8"Dhī, dhṛti, smṛti" — the power to grasp, the power to hold, the power to remember.Charaka's three words for the working mind. Your reading describes all three.

Questions
Is this an intelligence test?
No. Nothing about the shape of a head or its hair measures intelligence, and BrainShastra never gives a score, an IQ, or a comparison with other people. It tells you what classical Indian texts and folk tradition say about a crown like yours — every type is described by its strengths.
Can I read my child's crown?
Yes. A child's reading is written for the parent: strengths only, how that child tends to learn, and no verdicts about careers or school streams. We store nothing that identifies the child — only the crown measurements and the parent's email.
Does my photo get uploaded?
No. The photo is analysed on your phone, inside the page. Only a handful of numbers — the crown's proportions, the whorls' positions and turn, and hair density — are sent to make your reading.
Which texts does it use?
The Bṛhat Saṃhitā of Varāhamihira, the Charaka Saṃhitā, the Aṣṭāṅga Hṛdaya, and the thirty-two marks of a great person in the Buddhist Dīgha Nikāya. Folk sayings are used too, and always labelled as folk tradition.
What does the full reading cost?
₹501, paid once by UPI, card or net banking through Razorpay. No subscription. You get the full reading on screen, by email, and as a PDF.
My head is covered, or my hair is long and tied.
The reading needs the crown visible. If you keep it covered, we'd rather not give you a guessed reading — you can still read a family member's crown.
