When I was in my teenage, I said to my parents that I would like to become an Astrologer.
They were surprised about my career choice and told me that, Astrologer job is a cheap profession and they live on the small fees (dakshina) paid by clients. It's like a beggar job wherein clients pay the fees at their own discretion.
My parents opinion is true. During 1980s and 1990s, astrologers were paid small amounts of dakshina along with betel leaves and nuts. Till now, I feel that people have not changed.
Anyway, I followed my parent's advice and pursued their dream of seeing me as an Engineer or an Officer or a Bank employee. I studied MBA and became a Management Professional in a top company in New Delhi. Thus became a Management Professional by Choice.
During my working days as a Management professional, I never left my interest in occult sciences. I met many people with similar interests in and around Delhi. I traveled to Haridwar, Rishikesh, Alwar, Gurgaon and many historic places in north India during my stay in New Delhi. I used to give predictions and fix muhurthas for my friends, relatives and colleagues in my free time.
After working for many years in corporate world, I resigned my job one fine day and took up Astrology as a full time profession. The credit of making me an Astrologer for full time should be given to my Guru.
Now, I became an Astrologer by Destiny.
