PREFACE
At the out set I wish to state that I am not an Astrologer by profession. I had a keen interest in occult sciences from boyhood and there was an inner urge in me that I should learn occult sciences to an extent of perfection.
I heard about my grand father, from the people of our village that he was a priest, follower of Sakthi cult, very popular during his time. He was able to speak to goddess Sakthi in person. He was able to foresee the future events in advance. He was guiding our village people in spiritual path. He passed away when my father was about 3 years old. Therefore, there was no chance to get his guidance. I could only hear about him.
I heard about another relative, he was almost of my grandfather's age. He was an Astrologer, a devotee of Lord Shiva. He was leading a very simple life. He was known for his poetical talent in Tamil language. He was sympathetic towards all the living beings, never harmed any one. Whatever he predicted, every thing would become true even his own death. He did not practice astrology as a profession. He was only serving the society by guiding the people in proper path, through astrology. Unfortunately I could not get any guidance from him because he passed away, during my boyhood.
To my surprise, both of my ancestors never had any schooling. They were just farmers by profession. These two people only inspired me to learn occult sciences. I approached some Astrologers, for guidance, they did not want to teach me astrology for their own reasons. I read hundreds of books on astrology and other allied subjects written by different authors. I found that there are so many methods in astrology for interpreting the horoscope, mostly confusing and each author is advising the reader to follow his method and claiming his method only is correct and accurate all other methods are wrong. But none of them could explain the logic behind every principle they follow. Most of them just translated the books written in Sanskrit (or) Tamil. No one has come out with their original Ideas. It is the same food of same taste, every one has cooked. But it is only my revered guru Shri R.G.Rao, has cooked food with different taste. He is the first man to write about Nadi astrology. It is from him I learned Nadi Astrology. Therefore I do not claim originality in thought and ideas. I am always grateful to him for making me perfect to some extent in this science. I can boldly say that he has really given a life to the science of Astrology. He has removed all the difficult knots and solved almost all the puzzles in the science of astrology.
I sincerely bow down my head before all the authors who have contributed to astrology.
As the bee’s collects honey from various flowers and stores it is a honeycomb. I also collected information from various books and putting them together in this book for the benefit of readers. I hope every reader would like this book as every one likes honey for its sweetness.
