Basics of Nakshatra Padhathi (Marriage, Profession & Health)

Esteemed Readers

I am extremely thankful to my preceptors who had taught me the basic anatomy of Astrology, a divine science.

I had a flair for writing from childhood, but probably was not encouraged enough to continue the writings.

Belonging to the Nair community of Kerala, traditionally the community torch-bearers did not have much background in the Astrological Held in the past; nor anyone in my ancestor’s family ever had practiced it.

But I had somehow got the notion of learning Astrology and offering predictions to people around me. In the course of same, I had learned Vedic and KP Astrology, besides, the Prashna "Kavadi" Shastra of Kerala.

At this juncture, expressing the gratitude, I should thank one and all, blessings of my parents, M.K. Nair and Smt. K Janakyamma, for this important event, and also the support rendered to me by all in order to complete compilation of this wonderful and divine subject.

While always at the feet to my gurus, Mr. Venugopal Sarma, Mr. K. Babu Rao, Mr. PVK Punneswara Rao and Mr. Kameshwara Prasad, I acknowledge the consideration given to me by Mr. Rajendra Nimje, IAS, and fondly remember the cordial association with KP International Astro Forum at Hyderabad.

I sincerely thank my Astro-friends Mrs. Paripati Vijaya Reddy, Mr. Kanak Bosmia, Mr. R. Balaji, Mr. OVN Murthy and Mr. VGR Pavan, who have always encouraged me in my astrological pursuits.

The support and the encouraging words from Mrs. Shwetha Chary from USA are praiseworthy.

The encouragement from Dr. N.S. Pillai, a Homoeopathic Doctor and also an Astro researcher is worth noting. I do acknowledge the guidance, confidence and encouragement instilled into me during the last two decades by my father-in-law, Mr. P. Narayanan Nair who also had initiated me into the world of spiritualism and Occult Sciences.

Finally, I thank my elder brothers, MK Subhash Chandran, PK Chandran and PK Madhusudanan who have helped me in many ways in my life and my sisters, MK Shanta, PK Subhadra and MK Sujatha who always have special bonding, care and attention toward me. My wife P. Sreekala and my sons Vishnu V Nair and Vinayak V. Nair have always supported and assisted me in my humble endeavours.

Considering myself always as a student; at the lotus feet of Uchishta Mahaganapthi and Groans’.
