Bangalore's Astrologers: What the stars foretell

Did you know that your life events are connected to planets and stars? And that prophecy can be told with calculations based on your birth day and birth time. Well, this is what many folks believe; and seek the same from the many soothsayers that dot the city.

The person who brought credibility to this ancient art in the city many years ago was late B V Raman. He created awareness of this art among sceptics in the city through the Horoscope Department of Raman Associates . This company besides astrological services also publishes books and magazines. His legacy is carried forward by his son B. Sachidananda Babu , who is an exponent in Jaimini, Astakavarga, Varshapal and Prasna.

For those interested in traditional Kerala style of astrology, then the man to meet is K Prabakara Panicker. He does predictions through Jatakam readings, and if you do not know your time of birth or birthday, he uses cowrie shells and intuition for foretelling. He can be contacted @ 22720531/20119190.

Shakuntala Devi is a celeb in her own right. She first dazzled the world with her supreme mathematical ability without any aid, and today she uses this outstanding ability for astrological predictions, and is a much sought-after after fortune-teller.

Another lady astrologer who has been making waves in the city is Chandrra Devi. She is a palm reader, numerologist, clairvoyant and is equally net savvy. She does online predictions, too. You can check out her site- http://www.shivashakkti.com/detailpage.html for more details.

Naadi Shastra is another rare form of astrology where predictions are read out of paranormal palm leaves from antiquity. The belief is that predictions mysteriously appear on the palm leaves, and furtively disappear after the reading is done. For a complete palm leaf reading experience, your best bet in the city would be Sri Sivakkumar Nayanar. He hails from a family of Naadi astrologers, and in addition does face and eye readings, colour therapy, gem therapy, magnet therapy, numerology, Vastu Sastra and Siddha healing. You can call 26652400 for details.
