I find vedic astrology, the most accurate: Acharya Ram Hari Sharma

AstroSage is once again back with one of its expert astrologer’s interview. Today, we will talk to ‘Shri Acharya Ram Hari Sharma’, who is extremely qualified in different fields of astrology such as Vedic astrology, remedial astrology, and Vastu. Let’s find out why he opted for astrology as his profession.

Astrologer Acharya Ram Hari Sharma Interview

1. How did you get interested in astrology initially? What made you come into the field of astrology, as a profession?

My father is a very big scholar. When I was young, I used to see people coming to my father for finding solutions to their problems. He used to give them the right answer after some calculations. At that time, my father used to take the help of traditional methods. This thing developed my interest for it and I learnt how to use Panchang, from my father. Later, my passion for astrology increased and today, I am on this position.

2. What astrological system do you use and why?

Initially, I used to take the help of traditional methods taught by my father. Later, I started studying Dr. B.V. Raman’s ‘Astrological magazine’, regularly. After that, I studied this subject deeply and got the degree of astrologer from Jyotish Niketan, Meerut, in the year 1994. Today, I use almost every available method. But I found ‘Vedic astrology’, as the most accurate.

3. Any incident related to astrology in your life or your prediction, which created impact that you want to share with our readers?

The incident I am discussing here, happened when a child of 12 years was kidnapped from my village. During that time, I was not in the village. I was in Dibrugarh, Assam. The family members of the child asked my father about the returning back of the child. On this, my father told them that he will return back after 64 days. Even after 64 days, there was no news about the child and therefore, again they came to my father. My father told them that his son (me) was about to come and they should come after that to get the help. I studied the birth chart (Kundali) of the child in detail and made a precise calculation, as computer and software were not available, during that time. I predicted that the child is kept in a dark room and he is in the south direction, at a distance of 100 km - 150 km. I also predicted that he will return back to his home on January 1, 1995. They informed about it to the police. Police started searching for him in the same direction and in all the villages situated at the same distance. On January 01, 1995, police found the boy in a room of Dhaulpur village. I made this prediction on December 16, 1994, in my village. Even today, you can confirm about this incident in the Borpa village of Govardhan block in the Mathura district.

4. What are your suggestions for budding astrologers or for those who’re interested in this subject?

To, the soon to be or new astrologers, I would like to suggest that by taking the help of knowledge given in various astrological texts, they should apply the rules on the birth charts. Begin your predictions practice from the birth charts of your relatives, family, and friends. Keep trying different methods till you come on the right result.

5. According to you, which is the best astrology book that one should read?

My personal favorite book is Dr. B.V. Raman’s ‘My Experience In Astrology’. I would suggest that this book should be read by every astrologer.

6. What would you like to say to the users of AstroSage.com?

To the users of AstroSage, I would like to say that the astrological knowledge available on this website is so much that, if read carefully then there is no need to read any other astrological book. To widen your knowledge further, you can take the help of other books later. So, this was all for today. Stay tuned as we bring interview of one more astrologer, next week.
