Predicting through Jaimini’s Chara Dasa
By K.N.Rao
Published by Vani Publications
This electronic copy, scanned with the permission of the author Sri K.N.Rao, who is close relative of
mine, is only for the personal study of the students of astrojyoti astrology course. Copying,
publishing or using it for any commercial purpose without seeking the author’s permission is strictly

About K.N.Rao
Kotamraju Narayana Rao belongs to an illustrious Andhra Brahmin family. He is the second of the
four sons of the famous journalist of the pre-independence era, Sri K. Rama Rao, the founder editor
of the National Herald and editor of more than thirty journals in his long journalistic career. His elder
brother K.Pratap Rao retired from the Indian Foreign service as an ambassador. One of his younger
brothers K.Vikram Rao was the President of the All India working Journalists association and apart
from being a BBC special correspondent, retired as the Editor of Times of India Lucknow. His
youngest brother retired as a bank manager and is currently associated with him in the publication of
the prestigious quarterly “Journal of Astrology”.
K.N.Rao took his Masters in English Literature and was a lecturer in English before joining the Indian
Audit and Accounts Service, from which he retired as the Director General in November 1990.
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 as a director twice.
He was initiated into astrology by his late mother, Srimati K. Saraswati Devi, at the age of twelve in
1943. He regards her as the best astrologer he has known in three areas, marriage, children and
Prashna (horary).
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.
His interactions 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 data any astrologer has.
The strain of doing astrology as a mission without charging any fee, 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 his ground breaking speech, there has been a persistent
demand for his astrological articles. From then 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. 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 was instrumental in starting the Vedic Astrology course in the Bharatiya Vidya Bhawan, New
Delhi and is the Advisor and senior teacher of Astrology Courses. As on date the Bharatiya Vidya
Bhava is rated as the best Vedic Astrology institute and it produces approximately 4000 astrology
students every year
What impelled Rao to do it is well explained in his own horoscope where the lagna and the 10th
lords get combined in the lagna, with an exalted Jupiter in the 10th house.
All this was foreseen by his Jyotish Guru, Yogi Bhaskarananda of Gujarat whom Rao describes as
the last of the Rishi astrologers in the purest classical mould. He had told him that he would have to
visit many foreign countries to give to Hindu astrology the honour, recognition and dignity which it did
not have till then. An American summed up the impact of the first ever foreign visit of Rao to the USA
in 1993 as, “Vedic astrology before Rao and after Rao”.
What different yogis have said about astrology as a Vedanga which he must not give up has been
quoted in his book, Yogis, Destiny and the Wheel of Time. His desire never to turn into a
professional astrologer, has won him thousands of admirers and also some enemies from the
community of professional astrologers who felt threatened.
Both his mantra guru, Swami Paramananda Saraswati, and his jyotish guru, Yogi Bhaskarananda,
taught him some secrets of spiritual astrology which are not given usually in any book of astrology.
Rao has revealed some of these secrets in his book, “Yogis, Destiny and the Wheel of Time”.
His own mother, who was his first jyotish guru, knew many such traditional secrets, parts of which
Rao has revealed in his three books “Ups and Downs in Careers”, “Astrology, Destiny and the Wheel
of Time” and “Planets and Children”. It was the mantra guru of Rao, Swami Paramananda
Saraswati, who first asked Rao not to give up astrology as it had to be an integral part of his
sadhana. Later a great yogi, Swami Moorkhanandji, prophesied in 1982 that he would be the
architect of a great astrological renaissance. Whether that is already fulfilled or not can be gauged
from the impressive list of his researches published in his writings.
Among his many fundamental and most original researches are his two books “Predicting through
Jaimini’s Chara Dasha” and “Predicting through Karakamsha and Mandook Dasha”. He has
authored 27 books and is the guide and editor for another dozen books written by others. He is the
chief editor of the prestigious “Journal of Astrology”.
One of his greatest achievements is the introduction of Vedic Astrology as a UGC course in the
Indian Universities and later defending it in the Supreme Court of India.
Among his many regular visitors and followers are former Indian President Narayanan and the
Human Resources Minister Murali Manohar Joshi. It is essentially his influence on them which led to
the BJP Govt. introducing Vedic Astrology as a study course in the Indian Universities.
The pseudo intellectual scientists and journalist criticized this and a writ was filed in the Hyderabad
High Court, describing astrology as unscientific and it as waste of public money and “Safronising”
India. The Hyderabad High Court Justice F.M.IBRAHIM KALIFULLA upheld the appeal and directed
the UGC not to introduce Vedic Astrology as a UGC approved course!!
Appeal was made to the Supreme Court. The UGC & the Human Resources Ministry hardly
prepared any grounds to defend the case – so typical of our Govt organizations. That is when
K.N.Rao swung in to action. He was past 70 and because of a severe Diabetics attack both his legs
were almost paralyzed and he was barely able to move about in crutches. But his mind and will were
as good as ever. He hand picked several senior teachers and research students of the Bharatity
Vidya Bhavan study group and prepared the ground for defense. Quotations from dozens of ancient
scriptures describing astrological combinations and were collected. Excerpts from the Moghul
documents like Akbarnama, Jahangirnama and Babar nama were collected showing that even the
Muslim rulers frequently consulted astrologers and rewarded them for accurate forecasts. A long list
of accurate forecasts given by several astrologers was prepared. Armed with irrefutable evidence,
K.N.Rao himself went and argued in the court.
The Supreme Court of India reversed the ruling of the Hyderabad High Court and permited UGC to
introduce Vedic Astrology as a course in the Indian Universities.
K.N.Rao gave a series of interviews in several Indian TV channels to dispel the several
misconceptions and myths about Vedic Astrology – like Kala Sarpa Dosha, Mangala Dosha, and
Sadesati etc. He repeatedly warns people not to be misled by the bogus astrologers whose aim is to
extract money through fear psychosis.
In all he has authored more than 40 books on Vedic astrology. He became my relative through
marriage and I was fortunate to learn a lot of things about predictive techniques from him. A great
quality he has is he tells all his predictive techniques to ones who want to learn without holding back
anything.

All this is the Purusha only; all that has been and all that will be. And He is the Lord of Immortality, which
(also) grows by food.
All that is (seen) is His glory, (actually), but the Purusha surpasses all this. All beings(living and the non-
living) make up only one-quarter of Him. Three-quarters of Him which are eternally are in Heaven.
Three quarters of Him remain high (un manifest). One quarter of Him has manifested here. With
that diversified in form He pervades all the living and the non-living.
Variety came forth from Him Virat - Virat the totality of beings and thus from within he became Virat
Purusha. He spread over immensely and became the cosmos.
When the devas performed the sacrifice, in which they bound the Purusha as the sacrificial animal, there
were seven poles in the sacrificial enclosure and three times seven logs of sacred firewood. [The seven
poles refer to the 5 elements (earth, water, fire, wind, and sky), plus day and night. (Three times Seven)
Twenty-one logs refer to the 5 sense organs (eye, nose, mouth, ear and skin), plus 5 vital breaths (prANa,
a-pA-na, vyA-na, u-dA-na, and sa-mA-na), plus 5 organs of work (hands, legs, genitals, two excretory
organs), plus 4 feelings of the mind (a-ntaH-ka-ra-Nam), plus dha-rma and a-dha-rma. ]
They placed Him, the Sacrifice, Purusha, the firstborn, on the sacrificial grass and besprinkled Him with
the sacred water. Then the devas, the sadhyas and the rishis performed the sacrifice with Him as the
offering.
From that sacrifice, in which everything was offered as an oblation, was collected fresh butter. Creatures
living in air (birds) and those living in forests and villages came in to being.
From that sacrifice, in which everything was offered as oblation, came the Riks (Vedic Hymns) and
the Samans (Hymns which are sung - the Saama Gaana). TheChandases (Vedic Metres) came from it; and
from it the Yajus (mantra for the ritual) was born.
Horses were born of it, and animals with two rows of teeth. Cows were born of it, and so were goats and
sheep.
Yad purusha vyadhadhu.Kathidhaa vyakalpayan.
When they cut up the Purusha, into how many parts did they divide Him? What did they call His mouth,
His two arms, His two thighs and His two feet?
The Brahmana was His mouth, the two arms became the Kshatriya, and His two thighs became
the Vaisya. Of his two feet was the Sudra born. (This verse talks of the Varnaashrama Dharma and
explains beyond doubt that all the classes of people were born out of the Supreme Being and that all are
integral part of that Supreme Atman).
The moon was born of His mind. The Sun was born of His two eyes. Indra Agni were born of His mouth.
Vayu was born of His Praana (life-breath).
The antariksha (middle region) came from His navel. The sky appeared out of the head, the earth from the
two feet and the quarters from the two ears. Thus they created the worlds.
I know that great Purusha, lustrous as the Sun beyond darkness. The Wise One, having made all the forms
appear, gave them names, and uttered these as they were.
Thamevam vidwaan anu mrutha iha bavathi. Naanya pandha ayanaaya vidhyathe.
One who knows Him whom Dhata (Creator) first revealed, and so did Sakra (Indra) who fully knew the
four quarters, becomes immortal here. There is no other way.
Yagnena yagnam aya jantha devaa. Thaani dharmani pradhamanyasan.
The devas performed sacrifice with the Sacrifice. These were the first dharmas. They, the mighty ones,
attained the height of Heaven where the ancient sadhyas and devas abide.
Second Anuvaakam
The viratpurusha through (the interaction with) water, Earth and other elements became the master of all
creations - Vishwakarma. As master carpenter, He assumed numerous forms and is more than all this. I
have realized the primordial great deeds of that purusha.
I have realized the supreme purusha, brilliant as the Solar hue and beyond the veil of darkness. Knowing
him thus, one will be liberated in this very life. There is no other way (for liberation) indeed.
The Lord abides in every womb. Unborn, yet giving birth to all. The aspirers of the exhalted state of
ancient seers and creators, realize Him as The SOURCE.
All salutations to that essence (radiance) of para bra-hman, who shines bright upon the gods. He is their
preeminent master.
Wealth (Sree) and dignity (Hree) are Your consorts, night and Day are Your two sides, stars Your beauty
spots (body), Sky and Earth are the upper and lower jaws of Your wide open mouth. Grant my desires,
grant me happiness, fulfill all there is (the purpose of life).
