Daruwalla summed up his general approach and technique of making predictions like this, "First of all, if the person is there I look at him and get vibrations. Secondly, the time the person comes is important. Thirdly, what type of day is it? Good, bad or indifferent? Fourth, lines on the palm. Fifth, the Indian horoscope and lastly, the western horoscope. So all this goes into a computer called the brain. And after that I look at Ganesha and make a prediction."<ref name="rediff">{{cite web|title=rediff.com: The Rediff Interview/Astrologer Bejan Daruwalla|url=http://www.rediff.com/news/2001/may/10inter.htm}}</ref>
