K.N. Rao’s first book Predicting through Jaimini’s Chara Dasha is the most notable landmark in the application of Jaimini astrology. There never existed an book to show how Jaimini astrology could be made use of for predictions. In Jaipur where the book was subjected to severe testing, they declared in September 1995 that the book represented the greatest advance in Jaimini astrology in the last two thousand years. Rao was given a gold medal for the work. The present work, Predicting through Karakamsha and Jaimini’s Mandook Dasha is another revolutionary landmark in the advance of Jaimini’s predictive systems. No book on Jaimini astrology has illustrated any feature of this dasha. All writers on Jaimini only land you in a confusion without showing how a dasha should be used actually for predictions. The author is justified in saying that those who are writing books on astrology have done so without themselves understanding the meaning of the sutras they have translated. The author shares with readers his findings in the practical application and uses of the Mandook dasha with the usual confidence of the best astrologer researcher of India who can challenge his readers to test his research first before criticizing or accepting it. More than thirty worked-out examples have been given by the author to prove the validity of his research. He had it tested on hundreds of horoscopes and then presented it in a seminar of the astrology faculty of the bhartiya Vidya Bhawan where the research was blind-tested on a horoscope. The book starts with a discussion about Karakamsha and Swamsha and the totally erroneous understanding of padas by all writers of Jaimini astrology. The author provokes you to think, and test his research. Do that and you will have learnt another effective predictive method of become an intellectually efficient astrologer.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR K N Rao
K.N. Rao (Kotamraju Narayana Rao) retired from the Indian Audit and Accounts Service as Director General in November 1990. He is the second of the four sons of the famous journalist of the pre-independence era. K. Rama Rao, the founder editor of the National Herald and, editor of more than thirty journals in his long journalistic career. Rao was initiated into astrology by his late mother, K. Saraswani Devi, at the known in two areas, marriage and children and prashna (horary). Rao was a lecturer in English before joining the government service through an all-India competition in 1957. He joined the Indian Audit and Accounts Service from which he retired as Director General in November 1990. More interested in games and sports than in astrology in his youth, Rao won brilliancy prizes in chess competitions and two state championships in bridge competitions. He played ten other games which is why in his astrological writings also there are references to games often. During his service career, he was the planner, organizer and teacher of three international courses on Audit of Receipts as a joint director once and director twice. His interaction with foreigners have been both on professional and astrological levels for more than two decades which is why he has, as an astrologer, a large international network of friends. He went on doing all his fundamental researches in astrology during his service career because of which he went on collecting horoscopes systematically in thousands. He has in his possession more than 50,000 horoscopes with ten important events of each individual noted with him. It is perhaps, the largest individual collection of horoscopes any astrologer in the world has. The strain of doing astrology as a mission, not charging any fee, except on foreign tours almost made him give up astrology many times. But in December 1981 he was forced out of his shell to participate in a three-day seminar on astrology in Delhi. After this ground breaking speech, there has been a persistent demand for his astrological articles. From them onwards he has been sharing with his readers his original researches for which he has won worldwide praise. Between 1993 and 1995, Rao has visited the USA on five lecture tours. He was the Chief Guest at the Second Conference of the American Council of Vedic Astrology in 1993. He was requested to be present in the Third Conference also in 1994 on the opening day because of the crowds he would draw. His name was advertised till November 1995 also for the Fourth Conference though he had made it clear that he would not be available anymore for the American conferences. In June 1998 he went to Moscow where he taught astrology through interpreters. It was a great success as reported by the Russian sponsors part of those reported is produced here. As a result of his academic approach, he has now more than a thousand students in India and more than two hundred in the USA. He is the Director of Astrology Courses in the Bharatiya Vidya Bhawan, New Delhi. The teachers on the teaching faculty of the astrology course in the Bharatiya Vidya Bhawan have, like him, never charged any fees for teaching which they do in an honorary capacity.
