By the grace of Goddess Sri Maha Lakshmi and Lord Sri Maha Vishnu, I was introduced to the fascinating field of astrology by my father Sri P.V.S. Chalapathi Rao. Despite being conversant with various aspects of theory in addition to being blessed with an unmatched power of intuition, my father never deviated from the saattwik (saintly) path of humility. When I consider that my scattered achievements in my short career as an astrologer have made me somewhat arrogant, my young mind cannot understand how he could remain so humble after so many achievements.

Anyone familiar with astrology must be familiar with the name of Prof. B.V. Raman, known as the twentieth century Varahamihira (Varahamihira is a giant among ancient Hindu astrologers). Though I never met him, I reverntially consider him my guru. Prof. Raman's books, covering various aspects of Hindu/Vedic astrology, were instrumental in my progress as an astrologer, while I was thousands of miles away from my father. If only I could acquire one millionth of Prof. Raman's knowledge and power of intuition, I would be a world-famous astrologer!

Sri Sanjay Rath, a brilliant astrologer, scholar and author, blessed me by accepting me as a sishya (disciple). He has all the qualities I hoped my guru would have. I am grateful to him for accepting me as a student and I will strive to be a worthy student!

This homepage is humbly dedicated to the lotus feet of my father and guru Sri P.V.S. Chalapathi Rao, my indirect guru Prof. B.V. Raman and my current astrology guru Sri Sanjay Rath.
