In school-days the author came out with flying colours in every
standard, but was plugged once in F.Y.B.Com. There might be some
invisible hand working behind his failure. Though he exerted to the
best of his efforts. Thinking on this line the author took deeper
interest in astrology. In turn he slowly, but steadily turned to be a
thinker. At the same time his inquisitiveness flourished, contacted
scholars of astrology, and enhanced the knowledge of these sciences,
deeper and deeper. Always sharpening his knowledge through reading and
discussing problems with the scholars.
"After passing of some time my neighbours and the persons known to me
or who know that I have proficient knowledge of Astrology contacted me
for advice. Who does not want to know about one's future ? This led to
series of visitors to my place. In the beginning, I used to prepare
horoscopes, gave predictions and solutions, too, of one's problems
almost free of charge. At that time, my knowledge was admired by so
many people. Even today many a people contact me for these." says
Kantibhai Kansara. But he adds that now he has decided to charge
certain fees.
The author is not a pessimist he says, "Though I am sure that the
planets, the constellations and the zodiacs and the placement of the
Lord of various zodiacs do affect one's life. But the theme of success
is work Yogah Karmsu Kaushalam Aur Karmani Avm Adhikaraste Ma Faleshu
Kadachan|| these two dictums given by Lord Krishna and His thesis on
Karmyoga are the guiding principles of my life".
"Yes, I never believed in Prarabdh. Karmayoga was my guiding
principle, But I was continued with study of Astrology. As a unique
science, from starting I decided that I will never apply it as
profession so for my earning. So I started various activities for
source of income, like salesmanship, Business, Manufacturing,
Accountancy etc. but in almost all of these professions, I met with
failures says Shri Kansara. I was fired from my last job leading to
dire state of our family, to the extent that we were not able to take
two whole some meals a day. I always met despair in my life in this
dire circumstances, I was inspire to commit for suicide. but In this
dire circumstances my wife stood by me valiantly fighting against the
odds and depressing conditions. The period between 1972 to 1975 proved
to be the acid test for our family. Lastly I took up the profession of
astrology from 1976 and turned complete Prarabdhvadi from complete
Purusharthvadi. The stanza of Narsinh Mehta.
According to about slogan I completely realised that there is no value
of hard work without "Good Fate" became the guiding principle of my
life. Shri Kantibhai adds rider to this and clarifies that even at
present he is a firm exponent of Karmyog. But the principle of active
by invisible hand and 'Good luck' has precedence over exertions (Karmyog)
is certain; believe it or not.
"After accepted it as profession of Astrology, I served under Raj
Jyotishi, Jyotish Mahamahopadhyaya, Jyotirvid bhushan, Shri
Girijashanker Harishanker Jyotishcharya, and his son Shri Brahmakumar
Girijashanker Joshi" says the author and accepts their great
contribution in his life and profession. This was a turning point in
the author's life. He used to discuss nooks and corners of astrology
with these scholars and they clarified many a problem regarding
astrology.
They clarified many "knots" in the Janma kundli and gave clear picture
regarding the 'yogas' 'gocharfal' 'dasha maha dasha' 'muharta shastra'
etc. This developed self confidence in the author giving much of
respect and credit to these two scholars, said, whatever he is at
present is mainly due to that father and son. During that time I was
increase and share my knowledge with those persons who is eager to
learn Astrology.
"Though not Brahmin by birth and nobody else had any knowledge of
these sciences in the family, the author could decipher many a knotty
problems. The advantages of working with them was that he could come
in contact with a number of scholars of Jyotish Shastra who often
visited their offices. After 3 years they were so much pleased with my
endeavour that they entrusted me to complete Panchag(affimary) and
corrected the mistakes and short comings in their Panchag. I was
maintained succesfully their Panchang for 4 years. Due to
circumstances beyond my control I had to resign from their office and
started the profession at my own place" says the author Shri Kansara.
After 3 years both honourable had recalled me. He notes with
satisfaction that even though he had severed connections with Shri
Girija Prashadji and his son, they were so much pleased by his work on
Panchag and the changes therein that they once again entrusted him
with the task of writing Panchag he carried out with almost exactness
and till this date carries on the duty. Since 25 years I am
maintaining with sucessfully.
The author is a full time professional Jyotishi and carries out his
profession since 30 years and remains very much engaged. So many
people are appreciate, of predictions according to principle of
astrology.
The Janmaksharas, life reading, Varsha Fal, Predictions based on
Janmakshara, giving correct time (Muhurt) on specials occasions,
probable trends in the stock market and other commodities, columnist
in daily news paper etc. are his almost 'routine works'. People from
overseas do contact him through e-mail, phone, fax etc. Most of his
clients come to see him personally in his office. His son Vanesh
Kansara is fully helpful in my work after his graduation, but he is
more interested in palmistry and has carried out research on it and
has succeeded to a great extent in that field.
