Critical Appreciation of Shri K N Rao's Opinions

Expressed in Interview by Va!hn "al

Shri KN Rao has rendered a yeoman’s service for popularization of Jyotisha, and hehas some fine combinations of being a good astrologer in his own horoscope whichsometimes enables a person to make good forecasts even with wrong charts or withoutany chart, but some of his ideas are eccentric and detrimental for society !ere aresome e"amples cited from his interview by #aughn $aul

%&'

“There is no Sanskrit tradition, there is no Sanskrit parampara, there is no astrology

tradition, and there is no astrology parampara. ... There was never any question of

any Jyotish tradition. People make all kinds of claims about Jyotish paramparas, but

dont believe them. !t all got destroyed basically. Then, slowly it got revived. ... There

was never any question of any Jyotish tradition. People make all kinds of claims

about Jyotish paramparas, but dont believe them. !t all got destroyed basically. Then,

slowly it got revived."

Shri KN Rao is not ignorant of innumerable references to Jyotisha in all ages, as wellas the great unbroken tradition of panchangas %religious almanacs' made in all parts of (ndia which were created by astrologers and were used for astrological purposes)rom time to time methods of making panchangas were updated and all regions of(ndia have records of this fact *hy Shri KN Rao deliberately chooses to ignore thisgreat tradition of (ndia is clear from his other statements below

%+'

“all the classical astrological books that we read were written in the #iddle $ges. !t

was a feudal society% male dominated, pre&industrial caste&reliant society, with none

of the variety available to us today. Today we live in the world where there is a lot of

confusion, a lot of variety, a lot of industrial and technological progress. So the



concepts have undergone a change. ... !f you look at those astrology books you will

find that none of them help you to understand modern society. So how do you

moderni'e those concepts( The principles of astrology are eternally valid, but their

conte)tual meaning has to undergo a change in modern times. ... the trimshamsha, or

*+-th division of the Parashari system, is traditionally made use of for the female

and her character, her se)ual chastity and reliability .... the trimshamsha and thevargas will have to be interpreted in a different way."

Nonsense he basic use of -./ is for 0arishta1phala2 3 Shri KN Rao must know it*hy he wants to distort the basic meaning of -./ is hard to imagine $erhaps hewants to destroy the entire tradition of classics in order to propagate his novel ideas

%.'

“uying a house in a housing society, applying for bank loans, this was unknown in

this country /ust 0- years ago. So how do you answer these questions( 1here is it

given in any classic book( ... !f you do not moderni'e then astrology has no utility for

the person of the 2*st century."

Students of Shri KN Rao are unfortunate to have such a teacher who does not knowthat classics have clearly provided ample guidelines for these topics 4ut if he wantsreadymade answers to all 5uestions in classics, it is foolish 6lassics provide onlyguidelines, as Shri KN Rao himself says he does not teach 0gayaki2

%.'

“3orget the obscurantist pandit who puts a very narrow meaning of the sutra. 4e

does this terrible sutra chopping and confuses you. ! call them 5sutra&chopping5 pandits. They put one meaning of the sutra stupidly, and then they say, “6o, it cannot

be anything else7" ! say to them, “$pply it and show me the results." They /ust cannot

show the results. They dont know how to interpret the sutras, apply it and produce a

research."



his argument applies to Shri KN Rao himself !e sticks to his dogmas blindly, suchas his 07ahiri2 ayanamsha, refuses to test alternatives, and calls it his 0scientific2approach !ere are some of his socalled 0scientific2 ideas 3

%a' “6o, we use only 8ahiri ayanamsha." , ie, he cannot allow other ayanamshas to be

tested in his so1called world8s 9greatest institute9 not recognized by any university

%b' 01e dont ask writers outside to contribute because we have produced enough

writers."ie, a complete censorship on all writers who are not his students9

%c' 0three teachers started a parallel maga'ine of their own without informing us.

haratiya :idya havan took a decision straight away to terminate their services" %

these teachers could not be allowed to e"press their opinions either within thatinstitution nor in their own magazine: otalitarianism:

%d' 0 some of the software gives you eight karakas and ruins your Jaimini. Some ofthem will give chara dasha totally wrong" 3 Shri KN Rao is the sole arbiter whodecides which software is correct, and does not allows those softwares to be testedwhich differ from his correct or incorrect ideas

%;'

“The only mistake ;r. <aman committed was to land in a wrong ayanamsha. ! use

what we have consistently found to give good results, the lahiri ayanamsha"

-r Raman’s best legacy is his ayanamsha which is closest to traditional ayanamshawhich satisfied the stalwarts of Jyotisha as well as the public for millenia Shri KNRao’s greatest folly is blind adherence to the socalled 7ahiri ayanamsha which isconceptually based on re1definition of ayanamsha by officials of <ast (ndia 6ompanyand =siatic Society, like 6olebrooke, 4urgess, etc Shri KN Rao does not even knowthat the earliest ancient definition of ayanamsha had nothing to do with how 7ahiri >c

defined it Shri KN Rao has a narrow vision, but attacks the socalled 0obscurantists pandits2 who refuse to 0modernize2 senselessly 9 why a sound concept servingastrology for millenia should be 0modernized2 senselessly without even testing the so1called old concept?



%@'

read the rihat Parashara 4ora Shastra. ! have read more than ten versions in my

life and found all them containing many interpolations, absurd principles and

dogmatic observations =i.e. the disastrous consequences of planets in the eighth house

of any woman>. The art of reading most of the 4indu astrological books is the art of picking up gems from undeclared dung heaps.

!ence, the greatest work of #edic =strology %4$!S' is a heap of dung with somegems which need to be picked:: Shri KN Rao does not specify whether Sage$arashara produced dung or gems

%A'

*> The first is P$?;$<@S, which is the analysis of the birth horoscope. !f you do not

have a sound technique of interpreting a bare birth horoscope your astrology will

remain stagnant. $pply P$?;$<@S to the birth horoscope and draw your

conclusions. ?all it intra&horoscopic analysis.

2> 6ow come to the use of divisional horoscopes, si), seven, ten or si)teen as has been

done traditionally and call it inter&horoscopic analysis.

> Synthesi'e =*> and =2>.

A> 6ow use the vimshottari dasha.

0> $t this stage comes in the finest and subtlest use of ashtakavarga applied to

transits.

B> 6ow comes in the most comple) and baffling technique of !ndian astrology.

?ombine a conditional nakshatra dasha of Parashara like dwisaptati, chatursheeti,

shodashottari, etc. wherever applicable. !f you can do it, your predictions canmaintain an average of eighty five percent success rate. 4owever, it takes skill to see

that the results of two dashas do not clash. They give the same results but they have to

be seen intelligently.

C> ! skipped stages =0> and =B> in my DS tours and taught the seventh stage in part,

which is the use of Jaiminis chara dasha. #arc oney picked it up well and made a



great prediction with the most convincing logic, about the victory of ush over Eore

in DS presidential election in 2---.

F> There are other conditional Jaimini dashas, which ! have taught. 4owever,

different versions of Parashara te)ts, have given wrong versions of #andook dasha,

and the so&called nine navamsha dashas. 1hat ! picked up from the readings of:emuri <amamurthy Sastry alone works brilliantly and almost infallibly.

=G> $nd finally the ta/ak or annual horoscope can be used to clinch the prediction

within the framework of the pratyantara dasha of :imshottari dasha.

(t sounds good to novices, but is actually absurd Shri KN Rao fails to differentiatestatic results of charts which do not change with dashaas, such as specie, normal

height in adulthood, with dynamic results which change with time he former are Budged through what he calls intra1horoscopic analysis without any reference todashaas, while the latter needs the same intra1horoscopic analysis with specialreference to planets of dashaas, and in doing this various dashaas of -& must not beimposed blindly on other divisionals )or instance, #imshottari should be made fromthe Coon’s nakshatra 4ut Coon’s nakshatra in each divisional is different *hy the#imshottari or Dogini of -& should be imposed on other divisionals? !owever, aslong as wrong ayanamshas like 7ahiri’s continue to used by these modernisers, theywill get wrong divisionals and there will be no benefit in using either correct orincorrect #imshottari Shri KN Rao is immune to these research topics, his opinions

are dogmatic !e will never test those so1called 0obscurantists2 who havescientifically tested the traditional ayanamsha and found it to be more satisfactorythan the <ast (ndia 6ompany’s ayamansha reproduced in slightly different forms as7ahiri or )agan or 6handrahari ayanamshas

%E'

@veryone e)cept me puts the karakamsha e)clusively in the navamsha, and takes the

navamsha of the atmakaraka as the karakamsha lagna. ut in ;arbhanga and <a/asthan ! found that the old astrologers took the karakamsha and put it in the birth

horoscope.



Shri KN Rao is making a wrong statement wo different editions of 4$!S wereedited by pandits belonging to -arbhanga region 3 $t Sitaram Jha %whose version wasused by Santhanam for his <nglish translation' and $andit -evachandra Jha%published by 6howkhamba', and both of them gave that meaning of Kaarakaamshawhich Shri KN Rao opposes, and this traditional meaning is supported by all

astrologers of that region

%F'

Hne of the sutras of Jaimini says that if Saturn is in the karakamsha the man will

become famous in his line. !n the first week of September 2--G Saturn was in very late

degrees of 8eo making it the atmakaraka. Therefore, anyone born anywhere in the

world had Saturn in the karakamsha. That means that all the people born in early

September 2--G would become world famous. Thats a very stupid generali'ation. 4ow can that be correct( ...Second, a Jaimini sutra says that if :enus is in the

karakamsha then the man will be se)ually virile and live up to *-- years. 6ow, :enus

at 2G degrees and 0F minutes in :irgo will be in debilitation and it will also be

vargottama and it will also be the atmakaraka. !f you put it in the navamsha and treat

it as being placed in the karakamsha then all those people with :enus in that

condition will live to be *-- years. That again becomes a stupid interpretation.

Shri KN Rao deliberately takes some yogas out of proper conte"t in order to propagate his erroneous novel theory !e says composite approach should be used,then why he rushes to conclusions merely on the basis of a single verse? )ame orvirility depend on many things and merely on Kaarakaamsha !e says 0on the basis of

one single planet, they give all the results, which is stupid" but here he is doing thesame 0stupidity2 himself

%G'

these astrologers will say, “?ome to me for remedial measures. !ll do graha shanti

for you, and change your fate." This is nonsense. 4ow can one man change another

mans fate( There are stupid fellows in the country who fall into that trap. !ndian

astrologers go on and spread this fraud. ... do some worship, because it can be

mitigated to some e)tent through sincere, honest worship. ...4e has to do it himself7 ...



!t is not anyone whom you hire doing the worship and changing your fate. 6othing

happens like that. 6ot one single case.

Hraha shaanti re5uires proper training in karmakaanda and related fields, which ShriKN Rao has not received 4$!S clearly syas #edic and $uranic mantras should bechanted togethBer with havana >c !ow many persons can do it themselves? !as ShriKN Rao learnt how to chant #edic mantras? (f not, he will have to hire an e"pertItherwise, he will have to adhere to 4ible’s dogma that mere faith in Hod and Hod’sson and priest and some psalms will do all graha1shaanti Shri KN Rao#s $ain attac%

is on entire &radition of Vedic yotisha ( Kar$a%aanda( "andits( and Classics of

yotisha which he calls heaps of dn! with so$e !e$s =nother folly of Shri KNRao is his novel ideas which have neither any classical basis nor any practical proofs,e"cept in some lop1sided case studies made with wrong methods *hile advancing his

novel theories, he takes the ideas form those classics which he abuses and presentsthem in changed language, with some distortions )or instance, his $=6-=R<method (t is merely a childish simplification of traditional method =ll points in this$=6-=R< are traditional, with some serious omissions )or instance, in $=6 heomitted the effects of lordships, friendships, etc =spects in vargas is clearlymentioned in 4$!S Shri KN Rao cannot get any credit for this idea

%&/'

0Dnless strong legal action is taken against these malpractices, you can do nothing

about it."

Shri KN Rao forgets that court is not the proper place for rectifying Jyotisha (fsomeone files a legal suit against Shri KN Rao charging him of cheating the publicwithout being a 5ualified astrologer, he will find himself in trouble (ndia has manhySanskrit universities which offer full courses in Jyotisha, and some general

universities offer truncated courses Jyotisha has three skandhas 3 Siddhanta in whichShri KN Rao is a cipher %( know it personally', !ora %this is his only field, but he isdistorting it with some wrong ideas of his own mi"ed with some good ideas takenfrom those traditional pandits whom he abuses', and Samhita which he distorts 3 hemakes national charts foolishly !ow he makes (ndia’s chart ? *hen (ndia was born,and where? !e will not discuss these things impartially in a really scientific manner



%&&'

Show me the technique, show me the methodology, show me the results.9 That

scientific culture has come to stay now. Students at haratiya :idya havan come and say, “Please show us how it works."

Shri KN Rao lacks this spirit himself !e adheres to his eccentric ideas and refuses todiscuss 4elow is one e"ample of his hypocrisy

%&+'

“we published a book, Timing of #arriage. Students e)amined nearly 0--

horoscopes, but in the book we gave about B- e)amples showing a nine&fold approach

to the timing of marriage. $nd they got GGI results, which is even better than

physics."

*hat Shri KN Rao hides is the fact that out of @// charts, only &+ were chosen,

FF were not published because they could not be properly e"plained : 0GG2 ofthese selective A/ charts were e"plained satisfactorily by him or his students, whichmeans Shri KN Rao is very poor in mathematics 3 @G out of A/ makes GF.. whichshould be written as GF and not GG !ow such a person can be e"pected to make amathematically accurate horoscope??

%&.'

“ Astrology has nothing to do with religion. !t is a sub/ect for study like any other."

(t is his most obno"ious and false statement !e does not accept the traditionaldefinition of Jyotisha as a limb of #eda !is aim is to dissociate #edic =strology from#edic religioius and cultural conte"t he very definition of Jyotisha is that it studiesthe fruits of karmas of past lives, which presupposes some basic ideas about soul,



reincarnation, karma theory, etc (t need not be said that Shri KN Rao#s $ain ai$ is

to %ill that sorce and context of yotisha which !ave a birth to yotisha and

contines to !ive it $eanin! and raison)de)etre* )alsehood is caught with its owninner contradictions Shri KN Rao’s counters his own above statement with hisfollowing statement 3

!n the Supreme ?ourt, when ! was arguing the case for astrology, ! said, “The

#ahabharata, <amayana, or show me a single Purana where astrology is not

mentioned(" 4ow can you dissociate astrology from the 4indu religion( ou

cannot. ... Astrology is an integral part of the Hindu religion. 6owhere else in the

world is it an integral part.

(t is true that Jyotisha is universal and applies to everyone 4ut it is also true that it isnot a materialist atheist discipline (t cannot e"ist without a strong religious contentand connection !is following statement e"poses his ignorance of traditionalconcepts 3

“This study is an apara sub/ect. K$para means a non&spiritual sub/ect. !n the

#undaka Dpanishad, educational sub/ects are divided into two parts% Kpara and

Kapara. KPara is what takes you towards Eod, spirituality. K$para is simply sociology, medicine, anything. So astrology is also an apara sub/ect."

Shri KN Rao confuses ancient aparaa vidyaas with modern mundane disciplines )orhim, $araa vidyaas take you towards Hod he implication is clear 3 a #edaanga likeJyotisha can be used or misused by those who have nothing to do with Hod 4ut then,whom one should 0worship2 for Hraha1shaanti ?? )alsehood cannot hide its innercontradictions

K*N* Rao2 *ell it’s a very long story but (’ll try to put it briefly ( fell ill when ( was && years oldand ( was nearly dying hat was during the Second *orld *ar =nyway, when ( came backhome my mother, who was an astrologer, initiated me into astrology, numerology, palmistry andgraphology to divert my attention from my own physical weakness ( learned those things but (

did not pursue them, because ( was more interested in sports and playing games outside 4utsome time later ( developed some astrology, after getting into government service So startingfrom &G;+ ( have been doing astrology

(n the &GA/’s when ( met my spiritual guru, Swami $aramananda Saraswati, my interest inastrology intensified because he was always interested in astrology !e would say that it is agreat eternal tradition of the country $eople must take interest in it9 it is a vedanga, meaning partof the #edas =t that point ( was doing astrology but not very methodically 7ater, when ( met myJyotish guru, Dogi 4haskaranandBi, everything got systematized because he told me that theanswers ( was seeking to many spiritual 5uestions were available through astrology !e wrote ane"cellent book on astrology whose initial five chapters dealt with astrology, religion and

psychology hey were the most brilliant chapters that (8d ever read 4ut after his death, some ofhis disciples stole that book and it has not yet been published so far (t is a big tragedy ( cannotimagine anyone else in the world writing a book with so much e"perience and rich insight 4utthat is lost ( tried my best to track it down in =hmedabad, but it was not available

*hat happened in the course of time was that ( got fed up with astrology (t was not my sourceof earning and ( never turned it into a source of profit ( was only doing it to help people, myfriends Cy mantra guru, Swami $aramananda Saraswati, told me not to give up astrology !esaid that, “Through astrology many people will come to you and do :ishnu Sahasranam and

hagavad Eita, etc. !t becomes an attraction for them to do this as a remedial measure. They wil come onto the spiritual path through your astrology." hat has proved tremendously correct (nthe city of -elhi alone north (ndians who were never doing stotra recitation or chanting, are nowdoing it here are at least &/,/// people who do #ishnu Sahasranam in the city of -elhi (t hasspread among north (ndians, while south (ndians have always been doing it

,o!i 0oor%hanand4i's Vision

K*N* Rao2 (n &GF/ my guruBi took samadhi, and ( thought that ( would finally stop doingastrology hen ( met Dogi CoorkhanandBi while he was in -elhi, in Hhaziabad !e told me tonever give up astrology ( asked him, P*hy?P !e said that, “ou have a big mission to fulfill.

Through you this science of astrology will be revived, and you will build up the worlds best and

biggest institution." ( Bocularly told him, “ut Swami/i, ! dont have gadi, badi, or sari." QHadi’means ( don’t have a car ( never had a desire to have a car, which ( could have easily afforded,

because ( wanted to live with the minimum of things Q4adi’ means house ( never even had ahouse ( bought this small house only because paying rents in -elhi would have made my livinguneconomical here are very heavy rents here So it has proved a blessing in dis5uise for fifteenyears now QSari’ means what a woman wears, which means ( never got married So ( said, “6o

gadi, no badi, no sari, how can ! build up an institution(" !e said, “1hen Eod wills it, it will

come, and everything will get created. ou will see that it will happen." (t was a very fantasticvision of his in &GF/ (t was unbelievable



Dogi CoorkhanandBi %#idyaranya' and KN Rao in &GF&

hen, in &GF+ 4haratiya #idya 4havan wrote to me a letter saying that they wanted me to start

astrology classes hey had known from some sources that ( was teaching astrology to smallgroups in the office and at home ( met them and told them that if ( start up an institution that itwould have to be with a team of teachers and not single handedly hat way it will last even after ( die or retire So ( waited for some time (n &GFE, ( was ready with a small team of teachers, butthey were not very good =nyway, each one could teach something, but they were not thorough=nyway, we started with only ./ students oday, in +//G, we have &+// students and +Eteachers *e have F/ research publications and a 5uarterly Bournal running for more than &+years So it has been a very substantial achievement in that sense, and every prediction made byCoorkhanandBi has come out correct

Va!hn "al2 No, we don’t have to do that

K*N* Rao2 (n (ndia ( had to fight it ( got all the abuses Now ( get the praises also

+efendin! Astrolo!y in the Spre$e Cort

K*N* Rao2 Core important during this period was the Supreme 6ourt case against astrology = Budicial case first started in Cadras, and no astrologer went there as a petitioner in person, which



the (ndian law allows )ortunately, it was dismissed on initial grounds here was another case inthe =ndhra high court and it was also dismissed on initial grounds South (ndians who are said to be proud of their (ndian culture never took even the slightest interest in defending astrology hatwas the most disgraceful part

hen, K $admanabhaiah, a scientist and a rich man who lost the case in =ndhra $radesh,decided to appeal to the Supreme 6ourt ( personally appealed to astrologers from all over (ndiato file petitions as petitioners in person hey promised they would come and file petitions hisnumber was A/1F/ astrologers 4ut, when the case was finally admitted, ( was the only onehere was no one else from the country *hen the case was being called on the merits, again (was the only one here was not even another astrologer in the audience at the court hearing thecase, other than two of my teachers from 4haratiya #idya 4havan Dou can understand the levelof hypocrisy hese people talk about the great rishi tradition of (ndia, but when it actually comesto showing solidarity to fight for astrology not one man came

( fought this case despite my sickness, since ( had not been well after the year +/// 4ut anyway,

by Hod’s grace, ( went and fought it and today astrology is legally protected in the country Nowfor the first time in the history of (ndia, astrology is being taught as a regular subBect in theuniversity Iver +/ universities are now teaching astrology classes hat is a big achievement (nthat sense ( have completed my mission here is nothing left now =t 4haratiya #idya 4havanwe have a tradition of teaching, a tradition of producing research, a tradition of writing booksand publishing them =nd all this we have been able to achieve with only a two1day weekendcourse of ma"imum three hours per day hat is the most remarkable part he universities havefive1day per week courses at five hours a day and they hardly achieve anything *e haveachieved so much hat is Hod’s will, that is the vision of CoorkhanandBi

A 5ra!$ented yotish &radition

Va!hn "al2 So this is a cornerstone of your teaching of astrology, this research1based,academic approach 6an you e"plain more about that?

K*N* Rao2 *hat you must know is that in the year &F.;, when the <nglish rule began tointroduce <nglish education, they totally destroyed the Sanskrit legacy and tradition in the process hat has not been resurrected till this day here is no Sanskrit tradition, there is noSanskrit parampara, there is no astrology tradition, and there is no astrology parampara he onlysmall rudimentary parampara that still e"ists is the karmakanda parampara where they do ritualsfor marriage and other events, etc Nothing more <verything the <nglishman systematicallydestroyed by introducing <nglish education hat was the mischief, that was the intention hiscan be best understood by what homas 4abington Cacaulay stated in his speech of )ebruary

/+, &F.@, in the 4ritish $arliament $lease see this 5uote3

9! have travelled across the length and breadth of !ndia and ! have not seen one person who is a

beggar, who is a thief, such wealth ! have seen in this country, such high moral values, people of

such high caliber, that ! do not think we would ever conquer this country, unless we break the

very backbone of this nation, which is her spiritual and cultural heritage, and therefore, ! propose that we replace her old and ancient education system, her culture, for if the !ndians

think that all that is foreign and @nglish is good and greater than their own, they will lose their



self esteem, their native culture and they will become what we want them, a truly dominated

nation.9

So what happened was that the educated class, the 4rahmins, had taken to western <nglisheducation 5uickly, they distinguished themselves, but the Sanskrit tradition, which astrology was

traditionally a part of, got destroyed totally 4rahmins who remained in the countryside, and didnot have the benefit of an <nglish education, became neglected hey eked out a living out of thefragments of their knowledge of karmakanda and some rudimentary astrology (n both of the National 6ommissions for 4ackwards 6lasses of (ndia %Kaka Kalelkar’s in &G@@ and 4 $Candal’s in &GEF', astrologers have been classified as a backward class

So those of us who are now doing astrology have inherited a fragmented tradition (n the year&G/& we had &/ male literacy and female literacy Such was the miserable conditionhere was never any 5uestion of any Jyotish tradition $eople make all kinds of claims aboutJyotish paramparas, but don’t believe them (t all got destroyed basically hen, slowly it gotrevived -r Raman’s grandfather 4 Suryanarayan Rao and some others revived it in South

&he Necessity 5or Astrolo!ical Research

K*N* Rao2 Now, this gradually leads us to the concept of astrological research and why researchis necessary ry to understand that all the classical astrological books that we read were writtenin the Ciddle =ges (t was a feudal society3 male dominated, pre1industrial caste1reliant society,with none of the variety available to us today oday we live in the world where there is a lot ofconfusion, a lot of variety, a lot of industrial and technological progress So the concepts haveundergone a change (t is still male dominated but the female is challenging the superiority of themale everywhere now (t is that way in the *est, so also in (ndia )emales are employed9 theyhave economical independence and are not dependent on the male anymore for their living hey



believe in a very limited, planned family and so the whole concept has undergone a change (fyou look at those astrology books you will find that none of them help you to understand modernsociety, the modern male and female

So how do you modernize those concepts? he principles of astrology are eternally valid, but

their conte"tual meaning has to undergo a change in modern times

= student giving a research presentation%$hoto by #aughn $aul Canley'

)or e"ample, the trimshamsha, or &O./th division of the $arashari system, is traditionally madeuse of for the female and her character, her se"ual chastity and reliability, etc *hy do we dothat? (n a male dominant society it was the female who was always suppressed, therefore welooked at her trimshamsha and made use of it (f the lagna or the Coon in the birth horoscope is

in a benefic rasi of Jupiter, Cercury, or #enus, and in the trimshamsha they go to Saturn’s rasithen the female is characterless as per old astrological theories (’ve taken it up and proven thatin the cases of a woman very highly placed in society that they often have the Coon or lagna inSaturn’s rasi in the trimshamsha So the whole concept is undergoing a change he word we useis Qdasi,’ which means a Qservant’ (f the Coon or lagna is in Saturn’s rasi she becomes a dasi,which means she’s employed, that’s all )emale employment was unknown in the Ciddle =ges,e"cept for the lower classes 4ut today, .@1;@ of females are seeking employment Cany of thewell1educated women are no longer only housewives, they will go out and seek employment Sothe trimshamsha and the vargas will have to be interpreted in a different way

Similarly, the books will say that the &&th lord in the &+th house means that the man will be fined

by the government, and go to Bail ( put it like this3 the &&th house is the house of profit and alsoelder siblings, and the &+th is foreign country herefore, siblings will go and settle down in aforeign country or the person can do business with a foreign country from where he can earnmoney his is a totally new interpretation not given in any of the old books 7ike that it goes onand goes on, it is endless:

he modern astrologer has to face manifold changes, and no single astrologer can answer all5uestions put to them (t is impossible *hy? Henerally, what are the 5uestions put to an



astrologer? ( call it <6C6-($ < is for education, 6 career, C marriage, 6 children, - death, (illness, $ property hese are the common 5uestions put to astrologers in (ndia and out of allthese a variety of problems arise So it is endless he research has to go on endlessly (t cannotstop 4uying a house in a housing society, applying for bank loans, this was unknown in thiscountry Bust @/ years ago So how do you answer these 5uestions? *here is it given in any

classic book? Dou have to take principles from these books and apply them in modern situations

0oderni6in! Vedic Astrolo!y

Va!hn "al2 So research in this sense is the process of modernizing ancient #edic astrology

K*N* Rao2 otally modernizing it (f you do not modernize then astrology has no utility for the person of the +&st century he world has undergone such a big change he whole world is aglobal village now *hat is happening in TS= is affecting (ndia, and vice versa 6ulturalcrosscurrents have become very common hey come as a craze, as a fad, if they stay longer they become a trend, if they stay longer then they become part of civilization hat is what ishappening here are many (ndians leading an =merican style of life, there are many =mericansleading an (ndian style of life his is a result of global influence

!ow do you understand this? ( look at the horoscope of an =merican, and see why he becameattracted to a spiritual sadhana of a foreign country his is a totally new idea ( have done a lotof research on this and found some very fine answers ( look at the horoscope of an (ndian and (see him going abroad for study, pursuing foreign degrees =merican universities are full of

(ndian’s now studying for higher degrees So these are all modern trends that you will not findmentioned anywhere in any of the old astrology books

o do this you have to have a wide variety of techni5ues Dou have to see the dasha systems andsee the different divisional charts in order to understand it =nd then synthesize hen go intoJaimini and in Jaimini come out with new researches )orget the obscurantist pandit who puts avery narrow meaning of the sutra !e does this terrible sutra chopping and confuses you ( callthem 8sutra1chopping8 pandits hey put one meaning of the sutra stupidly, and then they say,



“6o, it cannot be anything else7" ( say to them, “$pply it and show me the results." hey Bustcannot show the results hey don’t know how to interpret the sutras, apply it and produce aresearch hey’ll only 5uote te"ts (f anyone else is doing it they will criticize him hat is atrend in (ndia <ven today they are our critics So ( tell everyone to ignore those pandits andcontinue with your research, and you’ll find e"traordinary results

&he -se of Seven Kara%as in ai$ini

K*N* Rao2 (’ll give you one instance (n modern times 4 Suryanarayan Rao, -r 4# Raman,(ranganti Rangacharya, -r $S Shastri, all used only E karakas %not F karakas' in the Jaiminisystem =nd three of them were very good Sanskrit scholars3 4 Suryanarayan Rao and $SShastri who are no more, and (ranganti Rangacharya who is alive -r Raman was a very practical man Tnlike other people, unless -r Raman got a correct result he would never write a book he only mistake -r Raman committed was to land in a wrong ayanamsha ( use what wehave consistently found to give good results, the lahiri ayanamsha, and (’m also very practical (will never write about anything, or teach anything if it is not result yielding (t must show you theresults straight away

Now, getting back to E karakas Surprisingly, all the famous commentators on Jaimini, like Neelakantha, Krishna Cishra etc, never mentioned why these karakas are used and what theirmeaning is =nd all these people also3 4 Suryanarayan Rao, -r Raman, (ranganti Rangacharya,$S Shastri never bothered to know why the karakas were used ( found out in the course of timethat the karakas represented the real soul of the Jaimini system (f you do not know how to makeuse of the karakas then Jaimini is useless for you =nd if you know how to make use of themthen you can give fine predictions about career, marriage, children and so many things ( spent +/years working on Jaimini’s chara dasha and in the process ( had to make some modifications*hen ( started predicting through Jaimini ( found that the chara dasha, as recommended byothers, was giving the wrong timing hen ( corrected it and now the chara dasha that ( use givesthe results of karakas e"actly, and also gives the timely very closely

&he Co$posite Approach



Va!hn "al2 So in your composite approach you recommend using vimshottari dasha andJaimini’s chara dasha?

K*N* Rao2 he term Q6omposite =pproach’ is what ( have coined, but it has e"isted as a sound

astrological techni5ue in (ndia as will be clear to anyone who has read the rihat Parashara 4ora Shastra. ( have read more than ten versions in my life and found all them containing manyinterpolations, absurd principles and dogmatic observations %ie the disastrous conse5uences of planets in the eighth house of any woman' he art of reading most of the !indu astrological books is the art of picking up gems from undeclared dung heaps

Now try to understand what are the components of the 6omposite =pproach3

&' he first is $=6-=R<S, which is the analysis of the birth horoscope (f you do not have asound techni5ue of interpreting a bare birth horoscope your astrology will remain stagnant=pply $=6-=R<S to the birth horoscope and draw your conclusions 6all it intra1horoscopic

analysis

+' Now come to the use of divisional horoscopes, si", seven, ten or si"teen as has been donetraditionally and call it inter1horoscopic analysis

.' Synthesize %&' and %+'

;' Now use the vimshottari dasha (n June &GG@, during my fourth tour of TS=, ( taught it at SanRafael 4ut ( had developed some sickness and a kindly (ndian lady doctor who had e"aminedme advised me to avoid TS tours, which ( did after -ecember &GG@

@' =t this stage comes in the finest and subtlest use of ashtakavarga applied to transits Cysickness prevented me from teaching it in the TS=, which ( had wanted to do

A' Now comes in the most comple" and baffling techni5ue of (ndian astrology 6ombine aconditional nakshatra dasha of $arashara like dwisaptati, chatursheeti, shodashottari, etcwherever applicable (f you can do it, your predictions can maintain an average of eighty five percent success rate !owever, it takes skill to see that the results of two dashas do not clashhey give the same results but they have to be seen intelligently

E' ( skipped stages %@' and %A' in my TS tours and taught the seventh stage in part, which is theuse of Jaimini’s chara dasha Carc 4oney picked it up well and made a great prediction with themost convincing logic, about the victory of 4ush over Hore in TS presidential election in +///

%F' here are other conditional Jaimini dashas, which ( have taught !owever, different versionsof $arashara te"ts, have given wrong versions of Candook dasha, and the so1called ninenavamsha dashas *hat ( picked up from the readings of #emuri Ramamurthy Sastry aloneworks brilliantly and almost infallibly



%G' =nd finally the taBak or annual horoscope can be used to clinch the prediction within theframework of the pratyantara dasha of #imshottari dasha

&he -se of the Kara%a$sha

K*N* Rao2 7et me e"plain a second controversy in Jaimini, which has been about thekarakamsha <veryone e"cept me puts the karakamsha e"clusively in the navamsha, and takesthe navamsha of the atmakaraka as the karakamsha lagna 4ut in -arbhanga and RaBasthan (found that the old astrologers took the karakamsha and put it in the birth horoscope ( found thatmore logical he reason is very simple Ine of the sutras of Jaimini says that if Saturn is in thekarakamsha the man will become famous in his line (n the first week of September +//G Saturnwas in very late degrees of 7eo making it the atmakaraka herefore, anyone born anywhere inthe world had Saturn in the karakamsha hat means that all the people born in early September+//G would become world famous hat’s a very stupid generalization !ow can that be correct?

In the other hand, if you take what they recommend in -arbhanga and RaBasthan and take the birth horoscope and put the karakamsha there, then you’ll get e"traordinarily correct results heother is wrong Second, a Jaimini sutra says that if #enus is in the karakamsha then the man will be se"ually virile and live up to &// years Now, #enus at +G degrees and @F minutes in #irgowill be in debilitation and it will also be vargottama and it will also be the atmakaraka (f you putit in the navamsha and treat it as being placed in the karakamsha then all those people with #enusin that condition will live to be &// years hat again becomes a stupid interpretation ( foundthis all going wrong So ( said nothing doing (’ll follow the -arbhanga and RaBasthan peoplewho put the karakamsha in the birth horoscope and interpret it, and ( got e"traordinarily correctresults ( gave brilliant predictions on that basis, and many of my students have been doing thatfor ++ years So ( don’t bother with the sutra1chopping pandits hey will confuse you totally andthey can produce no results

Interpretin! Classic &exts

K*N* Rao2 4e careful when you read the various <nglish translations of the rihat Parashara



4ora Shastra, also in !indi there are versions by Sitaram Jha, =cyutananda Jha, Hanesh-riptapati, $athak etc *e read all those translations and believe that these people have done agreat service by making this information easily available to us 4ut the meaning that they give issometimes very wrong hey give a meaning that they could not illustrate because they neverunderstood it themselves hey were generally very poor predictors

)or e"ample, all of them have given a method of doing pre1natal horoscopy, which is creating ahoroscope for the child before its birth when the soul entered the womb of the mother hemethod that has been given for the calculation never comes out accurately Sometimes it givesyou &/ months, sometimes G months and +/ or +@ days, and sometimes only E months: !owhave they understood how to interpret it? Similarly, they say that if the Sun is in the &+th housefor 7ibra ascendant the man will live for &// years (t is stupid !ow can you say that? <veryone born in the month of September or Ictober %while Sun is in #irgo' with 7ibra ascendant cannotlive for &// years So you have to understand that we are grateful to these people for giving thesetranslations, but what they’ve written does not come out correct sometimes Dou have tointelligently reinterpret the whole thing

=nother e"ample is a combination given for death caused by a vulture !owever, there are novultures in the city of -elhi anymore So what does it mean when ( see horoscopes with thiscombination? -eath through vulture means that a wild man will get an order to shoot you todeath ( found this combination and worked on it and on this basis ( predicted that (ndira Handhiwould be assassinated 1 killed by a vulture ( modernized it and made it a fle"ible interpretationand interpreted it that way So this reinterpretation has to go on constantly

hese days we have been doing a very beautiful research *e’re looking at the horoscope of themale or female who want to get married and determining the profession of the spouse (n (ndia, itis an immensely useful research because we are still a tradition bound conservative society he parents will come and show the horoscope of a girl and ask what type of husband she will get*hat will be his profession? hat is a primary 5uestion that they ask (n ancient times professionmeant a traditional occupation Dou are a farmer, you are an ironsmith, you are a warrior, or youare a priest hat’s all Shudra, #aishya, Kshatriya, 4rahman oday you are a computer engineer,you are a fashion designer, you are cinema actor, you work in #, you are a Bournalist, you are asalesman, etc So this all has to be reinterpreted

7rop Research "ro4ects

K*N* Rao2 Ikay, see what happens is we have two types of astrology researches going onsimultaneously he first is researching various divisional horoscopes and dashas that have beenneglected for centuries he second is researching a subBect that is chosen according to the socio1economic demand of the times we are living in =s ( told you, if you read all those books, on the basis of one single planet, they give all the results, which is stupid, totally stupid Dou have tomake use of the $=6-=R<S approach and synthesize the whole thing



KN Rao commenting on a student8s research presentation%$hoto by #aughn $aul Canley'

)or e"ample, in &GFA a girl came to me who was a daughter of a colleague of mine ( was in

government service in those days She was a south (ndian 4rahmin, and she said that all thesouth (ndian astrologers said her horoscope was useless for marriage because there was Rahu inthe Eth house South (ndian astrologers are very narrow minded and stupid sometimes ( made atotal composite approach and ( told her look here, you will get a very prosperous and very goodhusband !e’ll have an accounting background, he’ll be doing a private Bob, not a government Bob, and you will lead a very happy married life She got married in &GFF, and is still happilymarried She got a son and her husband is a chartered accountant and very prosperous Sheherself is in a good Bob, they own their own house in Cadras, and they have a good bank balance Now if you were to go only on the basis of Rahu in the Eth house you’d condemn the wholedamn thing: hat is how they are doing astrology

&he -se of Re$edial 0easres

K*N* Rao2 hen these astrologers will say, “?ome to me for remedial measures. !ll do graha

shanti for you, and change your fate." his is nonsense !ow can one man change another man’sfate? here are stupid fellows in the country who fall into that trap (ndian astrologers go on andspread this fraud in other countries also (n the TS= you’ll find people wearing stones and goingfor these remedial measures his is all nonsense $arashara has not prescribed these remedialmeasures !e has prescribed only mantras like the #ishnu Sahasranam, CrityunBaya, -urgaSaptasati etc, and some charity, which is called Qdhan’ (n the &Eth chapter of the 4hagavad Hita,dhan is described properly (t says that sattvic dhan means to give money to a really needy personand it should be unconditional, without e"pecting to get anything in return hat is real true

sattvic dhan or donation So those are the remedial measures prescribed

Now all types of new remedial measures come out *hy? he reason is because people want tomake money here is one fellow in -elhi who makes yantras and sells them to =mericans for&//1@// dollars and foolish =mericans are buying them hey think they can take this yantraand their fate will change hat is what is happening So along with the astrology that has spreadto =merica a lot of superstitions have also become attached to it =nd the =mericans think bywearing stones or doing yantra puBa their problems will be solved hat never happens *hatever



is fated is bound to happen 4ut do some worship, because it can be mitigated to some e"tentthrough sincere, honest worship

Va!hn "al2 *hich you recommend to be done by the person himself or herself?

K*N* Rao2 !e has to do it himself: Dou feel an appetite, so you have to eat food (t is your problem therefore it is your worship (t is not anyone whom you hire doing the worship andchanging your fate Nothing happens like that Not one single case ( have seen case after case to prove this 4ut anyway this cheating is going on in the name of kala sarpa yoga, pitri dosha, etc=ll this cheating has spread all over the world now through fraudulent (ndian astrologers =nd inthese days of web site astrology, the danger is much greater

&he "AC+ARES 0ethod

Va!hn "al2 Dou mentioned Bust a moment ago about $=6-=R<S 6an you talk about thisapproach that you developed?

K*N* Rao2 (’ll tell you =ll the old astrologers that ( used to see in my childhood made use of a brilliant approach ( saw my mother also doing this hey never coined any e"pressions toe"plain it, but over the course of time ( thought about it *hen ( was teaching, the demand fromstudents was to have a clear cut, systematic approach hey were reading books and gettingconfused hey would say Saturn in the Eth house means destruction, Rahu in the Eth housemeans bad marriage ( would tell them this is all nonsense, don’t go by that (nstead take a totalsynthesis !ow do you make a total synthesis? ( said Q$’ is for a where a planet is placed or posited Q=’ is for how it is aspected Q6’ is for conBunctions herefore it is called $=6 Iut ofthese some yogas emerge Q-’ is for dhana yoga, money Q=’ is for arishta yoga, arishta ismishaps, illness, etc QR’ is for raBa yoga, getting high positions in life Q<’ is for e"changes, likethe lord of the +nd in the ;th, and lord of the ;th in the +nd, etc QS’ is for special features, whichevery horoscope has Now look at this and synthesize the whole thing by doing $=6 Iut of thisemerges -=R<S his framework you keep in your mind

Now look at the dasha system and you see when a particular event is to take place according tothese yogas !indu astrology is a dasha and yoga approach he moment you forget that thesystem is destroyed Dou must know how to make use of the dashas, because the dashas are thedynamic fructification of a promised event he yogas show the promised event, while thedashas show when it is going to be fulfilled So unless you do $=6-=R<S you cannot developany astrological skill at all

here is a second stupid controversy that was created by some (ndian astrologers here hey sayto not see aspects in vargas hat is wrong he entire book Jataka 4haranam is based only on theinterpretation of vargas, particularly the navamsha and aspects in the navamsha 4rilliant predictions come out of that So see aspects also in varga charts Dou’ll get very good results

K*N* Rao2 Des, but don’t mi" the two systems See aspects separately within their own systems

yotish and Spirital Sadhana

Va!hn "al2 Dou often stress to your students to practice astrology as part of spiritual sadhana,as a service

K*N* Rao2 Dou see it is like this $eople will do it according to their background Some are very

greedy and want to make money hey do make money and for some years they prosper henafter that, they and their family suffer very badly ( warn them to be careful ( say, “Today you

are cheating someone, so your karma will boomerang, and you will also suffer. ou will not

escape your karma." So, if you become professional at all, become an honest professional -o ithonestly, charge honestly, that’s all Stop there here’s nothing wrong in that 4ut the temptationto earn a lot of money and therefore charge the heavy fees and charge for remedial measures isnot astrology (t is cheating, downright cheating 4ut that is what is happening



Desterday one girl was here from 7ondon whom ( had known since &GEF ( had given her a prediction that she would marry and go abroad She’s now married and lives in 7ondon She said(ndian astrologers are appearing on # channels in 7ondon now, and doing the same thing thatwe are doing in (ndia 1 cheating So like an infection this cheating is spreading So, those who doastrology as a spiritual sadhana benefit immensely, tremendously, because their sadhana begins

to have a strong spiritual base hen they don’t get easily shaken up

Va!hn "al2 So you’re saying for the astrologers themselves to practice a spiritual sadhana?

K*N* Rao2 =strologers, if they do spiritual sadhana it is e"cellent for them: raditionalastrologers were doing it =nd, at a later stage they reduced their astrological activities to verylittle )or e"ample, ( see only about E horoscopes per week now <arlier ( was seeing &/horoscopes per day and so ( have a huge collection of horoscopes ( have reduced it, because oneought to devote more time to one’s Bapam, sadhana, and meditation Some of the astrologers willdo that as they grow old Ithers will be greedy 4ut many of these greedy astrologers don’t livevery long, they die prematurely, leaving a lot of suffering for their families

Va!hn "al2 =re there any specific practices that you recommend astrologers to follow?

K*N* Rao2 *ell in modern hectic times you cannot follow the old system *hen ( was a child (used to see astrologers getting up early in the morning and doing their worship hen one or twohours after sunrise they would sit down to do astrology while people came to them his wasfrom about E o’clock until &/ or && o’clock hen, they would take their lunch and again come at+ o’clock and do it up to ; or @ o’clock, until sunset hey would not be doing it before sunrise,and they would not be doing it after sunset Now these days, ( do most of astrology only aftersunset his is because during my service career ( was busy in the office in the daytime, so (could do it only after sunset hat choice had to be made So, if you can follow that old disciplinethat is e"cellent Sit down do your worship then do your astrology Dour moral e"cellenceincreases, and your concentration is very good then Dour predictive success is also much greater(f you do astrology after worship your predictions 5ualitatively improve hen as far as possible,if a needy man comes, do astrology free for him even if you are a professional charging heavilyhat ideal should be there 4ut in the mercenary culture of our times that ideal has vanished

0isconceptions and the Vale of Statistics

K*N* Rao2 =bsolutely, we always show the statistics )or e"ample9 the last book we producedwas on Saturn’s transit in !indi (t covers sade1sati, that is the E year cycle of Saturn around

the Coon9 kantak shani, that is Saturn in the ;th house from the Coon9 and ashtam shani, that isSaturn in the Fth house from the Coon So we take the totality of the picture =ll the fright thatastrologers create through their newspaper predictions, and # shows is wrong E/ of the timethese transits are highly favorable, but you must see it along with the dasha Inly ./ of thetime it creates problems his book will destroy many of the misconceptions that people have

Similarly, ( wrote a book on kala sarpa yoga, giving e"amples of famous people (n the Rahudasha, these people with the so1called kala sarpa yoga, have prospered and risen high So all thisfright, which !indu astrologers create to make money and prescribe remedies must be stopped)uture generations should think of legal action against them hat remains to be done Tnlessstrong legal action is taken against these malpractices, you can do nothing about it Ine of the

well1known frauds of the country even told one man that there is a kala sarpa yoga in Jaimini,which other astrologers do not know about !e cheated this man out of +@,/// rupees So, futuregenerations of astrologers must wake up and take legal action to stop these malpractices

common misconceptions

K*N* Rao2 *hy this statistical research is necessary is because no one in modern times will beconvinced that astrology is a science unless they see the techni5ue replicated hey are not goingto be impressed by your 5uoting Sanskrit shlokas or talking about the great tradition of

effect hat is the astrology we do 7ike this we collect hundreds of horoscopes and show results*hen he will get employment ne"t can also be seen here

Va!hn "al2 =nd then if we had time you’d go into chara dasha, etc

K*N* Rao2 ( can go into all that, but Bust at a glance here it is clear !e wrote to me a desperateletter he moment ( opened it ( said yes, this is going to happen !ere read this3

Va!hn "al2 “!ve had sudden misfortune. Hn Hct. Bth, ! was fired from my current /ob, and

!m actively looking for a /ob nowM"

K*N* Rao2 Ikay, he was fired from his Bob In Ath Ictober +//G, Saturn1Saturn1Cars wasrunning and he lost his Bob Saturn is in the &+th house, Cars is the &+th lord, and he is in aforeign country So it is so precise, astrology is so scientific he moment ( saw that letter, (opened the horoscope and said it is clear, crystal clear his is our !indu astrology (f you don’tuse the dasha system, astrology will be ruined

Va!hn "al2 (’ve also seen myself Bust in the days that (’ve spent at 4haratiya #idya 4havanon this trip, that it’s very e"citing to see students talking with one another, they’ll be pointing outa chart and they’ll say, “Hh its this, its this and this." hey may ask one another, “1hat aboutthis(" (t’s a very dynamic learning environment and they’re all using this composite approachand $=6-=R<S method and getting e"cellent results

K*N* Rao2 his has now crystallized into a tradition at 4haratiya #idya 4havan and theinstitution will keep on prospering *e teach you a method, but it is for you to develop your predictive skill through that method *e cannot give you predictive skill

here was a great musicologist in the country by the name of 4hatkhande !e had a five1yearmusical course in 7ucknow, a beautiful course =t the end of the five years he used to say, “!n



these five years what we have taught you is 5nayaki,5 that is a method, not 5gayaki,5 not the skill of

singing. This you have to develop yourself." Similarly, what we are doing at 4haratiya #idya4havan is teaching you 8nayaki8, a method 8Hayaki8 you develop yourself by working more andmore =nd students now are developing very fast his is because these days student who comehere have the great advantage of reading these books and researches hey buy all the books and

read them 4y the time they complete the second year course they develop good skill

Va!hn "al2 =nd if they have 5uestions there are so many teachers and other competentstudents to get the answers very readily

K*N* Rao2 So it’s at a very high level, a very high level now he teachers themselves will haveto keep on upgrading their skill =fter some time the teacher will find it difficult to meet thechallenges of the students (t is becoming so difficult now

Key 5actors for Sccess

Va!hn "al2 So what do you consider the secret behind 4haratiya #idya 4havan’s success?

K*N* Rao2 Dou know, any organization, anywhere in the world, can only develop if the cause ofan organization is kept above self1interests =ll the organizations get shattered and vanish intolimbo when self1interest predominates and the real cause is forgotten =t 4haratiya #idya4havan we face similar problems

*e started in &GFE, but in &GFG, when we started reaching the number of +// students, people became greedy Ine person wanted to impose his books and his ayanamsha Dou can understandwhom ( said, “6o, we use only 8ahiri ayanamsha." here was an initial 5uarrel about thisSomeone in -elhi who was bringing out a monthly Bournal told me, “ou prescribe it for the

students." ( said, “6o, students are at liberty to buy whichever astrological /ournal that theywant." 4ut in &GGE, when 4haratiya #idya 4havan decided to start its own Bournal, the Journal

of $strology, it was made part of the curriculum because it was our home Bournal Studentscontribute articles, and we develop new writers *e don’t ask writers outside to contribute



because we have produced enough writers Hetting back to what ( was saying, some of ourteachers became greedy hey started all types of gimmicks and trapping students here wereone or two scandals *e had to get rid of them

Students working on a research article at KN Rao8s house%$hoto by #aughn $aul Canley'

(n &GG;, there was a maBor trouble because a maBority of the teachers were not producing anyresearch ( said, “ou cant go on like that. $ decent institution is to have a reputation as a

research center. ou /ust cannot come and teach like a school master and go away." So thatcreated a big crisis and more than half of our teachers left hat was a blessing in disguise because we’ve got well1trained students, and we could train them as teachers =fter &GG; we Bumped to A// students because the 5uality of teaching improved, and the reputation spread

(n &GGE, 4haratiya #idya 4havan announced that they were starting a Bournal with me as the

editor =t the same time three teachers started a parallel magazine of their own without informingus 4haratiya #idya 4havan took a decision straight away to terminate their services So these problems came up *hen the cause is forgotten and people want to promote their own self1interest, the organization must suffer So three times this weeding out had to be done3 in &GFG,&GG;, and &GGE hen recently, about two years ago, two teachers manipulated marks one"aminations to favor their favorite students So we had to get rid of them hen one year agothere were two other teachers that we had to ask to leave because they became incompetent, and produced no research

Va!hn "al2 So it’s Bust like in the *est where professors of maBor universities are e"pected to8publish or perish8 as they say

K*N* Rao2 (t is the same thing here ( made it very strict ( said, “;o some research, producehere, otherwise youll be dismissed."

Va!hn "al2 So the research is really the primary cause other than the teaching

K*N* Rao2 <very teacher must keep on doing that, because the teacher must show that he is providing intellectual stimulation to the students =fter all, we have high 5uality students, and



they’re giving brilliant predictions ( have to concede that particularly some of our femalestudents are very brilliant So unless our teachers also develop well, we can’t keep them hese problems come up but you must keep the cause always above your self1interest while in anorganization hen the organization develops (t has gone on well for twenty1two years only because of this3 collectively and individually, we have kept the cause above our self1interest

*ithout that it cannot go on

= Radhika Rao after teaching a class%$hoto by #aughn $aul Canley'

he second important thing is that in &GG;, when we decided to split, the one maBor decision (took was to hand over the entire financial administration to 4haratiya #idya 4havan hat waythere is no temptation for any teacher to make any money out of it Coney is a big temptationalways Keep that out So there is no teacher, who handles any finance, or earns anything (t is allon a volunteer basis 4ut 4haratiya #idya 4havan %which teaches other subBects like language,

management, film, etc' makes a large profit out of it (t has prospered so well 4haratiya #idya4havan annually earns fifty lakhs =nd it will go on increasing because we are attracting moreand more students

Va!hn "al2 =nd ( understand that even students that have completed the two1year course willstay on and do the research classes indefinitely

K*N* Rao2 hey do research hey have the stimulus to do research because they find the strainof doing research is less when there’s a group class <veryone brings the data and they worktogether on it (f a student does the research alone, with his family to look after and a Bob to lookafter, it becomes difficult So ( suggest working collectively he strain is less, the statistical

testing becomes very vast, and the replication is brilliant Research students benefit 5uite a lot,and they also become valuable contributors of articles to the Journal of $strology

&ips for +evelopin! yotish S%ill

Va!hn "al2 -o you have any recommendations for students of #edic astrology who don’thave the advantage of being in New -elhi, and studying at 4haratiya #idya 4havan?



K*N* Rao2 Des, they can read the books we are publishing in <nglish hat is one

)irst, students must become technically proficient his will happen if you master the rudiments properly hen, be careful about the Jyotish software you are using Now some of the softwaregives you eight karakas and ruins your Jaimini Some of them will give chara dasha totally

wrong hese things you must learn and calculate manually hen don’t go by many of thesuperficial claims of parampara, etc See practically whether what is being said is working or notake the time to go through that =fter doing that keep on collecting horoscopes

= moment of laughter in CanoB $athak8s research class%$hoto by #aughn $aul Canley'

he best way to develop skill is to keep on collecting the horoscopes of people whom you knowintimately, whose life details are known to you well hen ponder over the horoscope Keep onseeing why something happened at a particular time Dou will develop your skill here is no

other method his is what helps you to develop beautifully and solidly =nd if you thinksomeone will give you some small tidbits and then you’ll be able to work magic, then that iswrong Dou cannot Dou have to learn the subBect properly, and you have to develop your skill properly =nd the best way of developing skill is to keep on working on horoscopes and go intothe depth of the horoscope 4y Qdepth of the horoscope’ ( mean go into the divisional horoscopes,and go into the composite approach hen you will get the full grasp of the horoscope

&he Ne!ative Effects of 7rowin! "oplarity

Va!hn "al2 -o you see any negative effects of the growing popularity of #edic =strology?

K*N* Rao2 Dou see, when a subBect becomes very popular, it loses the sheen, the brilliance of anacademic study (t becomes a part of pop culture and gets defiled, vulgarized (t’s like classicalmusic versus pop music Dou see the difference? Similarly, there is no comparison betweenclassical, brilliant, academic astrology versus pop astrology, which you see on # and innewspapers $op astrology is totally vulgar (t has no meaning So the danger of academicastrology becoming associated with pop astrology is always there o prevent this danger it isnecessary to come out, at some stage, with strong legislation all over the world Itherwise, thiswill become a terribly corrupting influence, and academic astrology will suffer as a result



Irdinary people will think that this vulgar astrology is e5uated with real astrology, which it isnot

Va!hn "al2 So, nowadays, anyone can develop a web site and make any claims

K*N* Rao2 Des = lot of stupid and wrong claims have been made So1called paramparas have been promoted Jaimini has been distorted Stupid theories have been floated Kala sarpa yogahas been bloated beyond proportion and made into a big money earner =ll these type of thingshave happened So that is the danger of pop astrology spreading in =merica, in Russia, andeverywhere Now you see stones are being prescribed as a remedy measure (t is nonsense it isnot given in any classical book of astrology So this pop astrology has to be controlled

Re!latin! 0alpractice

Va!hn "al2 *hat do you envision as the best1case scenario of how the study and practice of#edic astrology can develop from this point forward?

K*N* Rao2 Dou see once there is a global linkage of serious astrological centers, where goodresearch is being done, they can collectively persuade their respective governments to come outwith proper legislation to regulate and control malpractices

he beautiful thing that happened in the TS= in the &Gth century was that the moral practices ofdoctors was controlled and regulated when the =merican Cedical =ssociation was formedCedical treatment can be e"pensive, but medical malpractices are very, very controlled due tostrong organization and legislation So the same thing should happen with astrology(nternational astrological centers should link up and persuade governments to come out with proper legislation here should be a good organization So that is bound to happen, but it willtake some time to get the proper regulation =fter ./1A/ years astrology will get recognized allover the world as the science of sciences, as the science of counseling primarily, and predictionsecondarily

(n (ndia, prediction is primary and counseling is secondary (n =merica, counseling is primary,and prediction is secondary he *est’s concept is, “#an makes his own destiny." (n the <ast,we believe in preordained destiny So the approach to astrology will be basically different in the<ast and the *est (n (ndia, if you say life is predestined, people will easily accept it (n =mericaor <ngland, if you say the same thing they will not accept it (n (ndia and the TS=, during thedays of 4ritish (mperialism it used to be said, “?haracter is destiny." = man can affect hisdestiny according to his character (n (ndia we don’t say, “?haracter is destiny." *e say, 9Thereis a destiny that youre born with.9 $art of destiny is totally unalterable, part of destiny is

alterable, and part of destiny is half alterable and half unalterable herefore, we use three terms3dridha karma, adridha karma, and dridha1adridha karma his means that which is unchangeable,that which is changeable, and that which is half changeable So our approach is that we believein destiny herefore, here in (ndia prediction will be primary, and counseling will be secondary(n the *est, it will be the opposite

Re!ainin! +i!nity in yotish



Va!hn "al2 (n =merica, ( feel like (’m constantly faced with preBudices against astrology being an undignified study

K*N* Rao2 Des, they think it is undignified 4ut once you begin to establish and show the

replication, then the same study will become highly dignified hat is what =6#= %the =merican6ollege of #edic =strology' should have done hat should have been their aim (n any case, ifyou produce an internationally replicable research in one, two, or three areas, then you can attack the scientific establishment Dou can tell them, “ou have closed your mind. ou have not studied this. ?ome on disprove it7"

(n (ndia, ( had to fight this alone =s soon as scientists came to the court of law to fight astrology( destroyed all their arguments in ++ minutes hey could not argue with me So you can plan itfor the ne"t A1&/ years and you’ll see that astrology will get the dignity, rest assured (f you doyour work honestly, it will become highly dignified Now in -elhi people are learning astrologyand respecting astrology *hy are these students coming to our classes from other subBects? (t is

because they respect it hey want to learn it Dou must create the same condition in the TS=

= student presenting his research%$hoto by #aughn $aul Canley'

(n Russia, scientists come to my classes here were fifty1four students in the first class inRussia, and fifty1two had $h-s: !alf of those $h-s were people with a scientific background*hen ( demonstrated the replication ( said, “6ow take your own horoscopes and apply this.9 hey said, “es, it is working." hey became convinced (mmediately they translated my book, Planets and ?hildren, into Russian (n TS=, the advantage is that you don’t have to translate it

into <nglish Dou only need to replicate and show it to them here is a cause and effect hat isstage number one Stage number two3 there is a methodology Number three3 there is replicationDou’re finished hree stages

Challen!in! Scientific Circles

K*N* Rao2 he so1called scientists will oppose astrology (n the TS=, you have an entirescientific establishment and they are 6hristian supported Right? So the acceptance by a maBority



is never possible in the TS= 4ut acceptance of ./ or ;/ is enough 4ut other people will comesecretly and consult you hey will not share it openly, because there is a long history of churchopposition to astrology right from the Ciddle =ges, and today scientists are also opposing Sothe church and scientists will combine to oppose astrology herefore, unless a sound replicableresearch comes out, they will not accept it hen you can tell them, “$strology has nothing to do

with religion. !t is a sub/ect for study like any other." *hat should be their difficulty in acceptingit? (s the church opposed to the study of sociology? No hen why are they opposing astrology?

Va!hn "al2 hey don’t even oppose astronomy, a subBect so closely linked to astrology (think the reason is what you said earlier, that if the church didn’t oppose astrology, then more people would go to astrologers than to the ministers for advice

K*N* Rao2 Des (n the Ciddle =ges in <urope, there was terrible opposition to astrology (t’s avery bad history with a lot of preBudice

*hen ( was in the TS= ( gave a lecture to scientists in 4oston hey came 5uietly, and other

people came he program was not publicized, but it spread Qword of mouth’ Ine =merican lady put up her chart on the board ( said, “8ook here, you have studied philosophy, then your studies

were interrupted, and then you resumed your studies and youre in an educational career." Shesaid, “es. @verything is correct." ( continued, “$nd these days you should be planning to go

abroad." She said, “es, !m going to Eermany." ( said, “That is our astrology. ou can see that

unless you apply the dasha system, you cannot know. That is our progression, not 1estern

astrologys progression based on transits."

hen many of them enlisted to study #edic astrology hey said, “1e want to study. ou can see

so clearly about us from the horoscope. !t is worth studying. 1ell study it." So scientists canstudy this astrology here is no difficulty, e"cept maybe there is difficulty with 6hristians!owever, if the TS= accepts it, <urope will accept it TS= leads and the rest of the worldfollows he &/ of the population in (ndia who are opposed will keep 5uiet G/ in (ndia arenot opposed

&he -niversal Sb4ect of Astrolo!y

Va!hn "al2 (s that because it is associated with the !indu religion?

K*N* Rao2 =bsolutely: (n the Supreme 6ourt, when ( was arguing the case for astrology, ( said,“The #ahabharata, <amayana, or show me a single Purana where astrology is not mentioned("

!ow can you dissociate astrology from the !indu religion? Dou cannot

Va!hn "al2 So to deny astrology would be to deny your sacred tradition

K*N* Rao2 Des (t is not so in 6hristianity (t is not so in (slam 4ut it is so in the !indu religion*e have the birth horoscope of Rama *e have the birth horoscope of Krishna )rom where theygot it, ( do not know 4ut we have it from historical records =strology is an integral part of the!indu religion Nowhere else in the world is it an integral part

Va!hn "al2 -oes that make it a re5uirement, for someone who is studying !indu astrology, to



be receptive towards !induism?

K*N* Rao2 No -o you mean they have to convert to !induism? No his study is an aparasubBect Q=para’ means a non1spiritual subBect (n the #undaka Dpanishad , educational subBectsare divided into two parts3 Qpara’ and Qapara’ Q$ara’ is what takes you towards Hod, spirituality

Q=para’ is simply sociology, medicine, anything So astrology is also an apara subBect

Va!hn "al2 So, in fact, #edic astrology or !indu astrology is really Bust astrologyo put aname before it is to limit it to a particular culture

K*N* Rao2 Des ( argued in the Supreme 6ourt that a !indu 4rahmin goes and studies allopathy=llopathy has come from the TS= -oes he become a 6hristian after studying it? ( went to=merica, ( went to Russia and taught them astrology -id ( convert them into !indus? heystudied the subBect and went away hey retained their faith ( have my faith here are so many6hristians who came to my classes in =merica here are so many Russian Irthodo" 6hurchmembers in my classes in Russia So what happened? here is no 5uestion of conversion here (t

is Bust a wrong political argument Some (ndians gave me that argument ( said, “This isnonsense." (t does not belong to any religion, it is a universal subBect which anyone can studyanywhere

Va!hn "al2 hank you very much KN RaoBi for so generously sharing your wisdom andinsights in this interview (t has been incredibly informative and (’m sure it will be very usefulfor students of this great study of Jyotish Namaste
