About Panditji
Apart from an attractive aura and a red tilak on his forehead, there is little about Pandit Promod K. Nandkishore Sharma's external appearance that would make one think that behind this serene, sophisticated exterior lies a mind that has the power to assess you, without you even having to speak. A man with a scientific background, having secured qualifications in both electrical engineering and aeronautics technology as well as a Diploma in Business Management, apart from a master’s degree in Hindi, Panditji's approach to the subject of Vedic Astrology is like that of a professor.

Born in a family of doctors in one of the oldest living cities in the world, Benaras in India, Panditji's motto is to provide hope and attitudinal corrections to the ones seeking answers in life. He believes that India’s ancient knowledge can be harnessed to build positivism in oneself and in one's life.

Early in life, at the age of 16, as a vocation, Sharmaji was selected by the Indian Air Force ( IAF ). During his tenure, even in this regimented life, he found time to dabble in Vedic astrology. The basis of this was his intuitive ability, since intuition is one of the fundamental elements of Vedic Astrology. And early on, Panditji realised that he was blessed with this power.

Once, while serving in the Forces, some colleagues approached him with a photograph and asked to predict that individual's life. Due to his highly evolved intuition, Panditji felt there was something amiss, so he said, "Why do you people joke with me?" His colleague asked him, "Why, what is wrong? We have brought this photo, so why can't you predict?" At this remark, Panditji said, "How can I, when the person (whose photograph you have brought) is no more." His colleagues became stunned when they later discovered that photo presented by them was indeed that of a person who wasn't alive anymore.

In fact, it was this intuitive self which helped him steer towards his chosen life goal later on. He realized that there was a growing spiritual quest within him and that he needed to devote all his energies and time in the practice of Vedic Astrology. It is said that even one’s entire lifetime isn't enough to unfurl all the secrets of this ancient cosmic science.

After fifteen years of service, he retired from the Indian Air Force and settled down in the once quiet, but now bustling city of Pune, about 160 kilometers SE of Mumbai.

His interest became his full-time occupation and he has been studying the various texts of Vedic Astrology and practicing this science since 1980. However, to this day, despite reaching high levels of acclaim and accuracy for his predictions, he is still down-to-earth and humble. He is still open to learning and would prefer to call himself a student of Vedic Astrology rather than a master, for he believes that the time when one begins to think that one knows everything, is the end of all learning.

Being a keen student, Panditji also took up a course in Gemology, offered by the Deccan Education Society (of Fergusson College) in Pune. Gems or semi-precious stones are an integral part of Vedic Astrology and are used just as medicines are used by doctors, to fight ailments. It is believed that each stone emits rays, which can be harnessed to rectify or control an individual's ailment. This was precisely the reason why Panditji took up this subject, so as to enhance his knowledge and help those who come to him by suggestion of remedies in the form of diet control, fasting, prescription of gems and/or chanting of mantras.

While we share this journey of life, we can understand, through Panditji's vast experience, what lies in store for us and how we can best make use of this gift of LIFE.
Testimonials

Dear Reader : I am Shailendra - a 28 yr old married man with post graduation in Science . Until I met Pt. Sharma I was going through a very bad phase in life, extremely bad, I would say. When I met Sharmaji, he, as usual, with his calm, quiet approach, diagnosed my problem like a doctor diagnoses a critical illness.

Pt. Sharmaji advised me to wear a Blue Sapphire. He mentioned that I do not necessarily have to buy the gem from him only. Several people sell quality gems and I could opt to buy from them. I took my time and bought the gem. Ever since I have been wearing it, I have been on top of my life, and all the malefic influences of Saturn seem to have vanished and things have become easy for me.

I got a job in Mumbai which paid me exactly double the salary that I used to draw earlier and this had been my main spot of botheration, for 6 years in my life, I couldn’t get a job of my liking and even if I had reached the last stage of interview, it would turn out to be a big fiasco for silly reasons. That was very much frustrating for me. I started wearing the gem on 17th January 2004 and got a new job on 22nd March 2004.

Things then turned around miraculously and I had to pinch myself to realize that this is really happening. The most wonderful thing about Pt. Sharma is that he has no lust for money and he doesn’t take people for royal rides like many other so-called astrologers do.

Pt. Sharma is an authentic guide and has comforted many people like me through his soft speech, calm nature and above all practical approach towards life. Today he is my guide and I bank on his advice for important decisions in life. His advice comes with a quote "karm par vishwas karo". Sharmaji is a genuine person to rely on for advice and guidance. If you want to seek advice, do not hesitate to meet a person who is honest, does not take the science of astrology as a business, gives simple practical advice to take people out from darkness to light – in reality.

Dear Sharmajee : Thank you very much for all that you have done for me. I remember in February 2004 when I had met you for the first time. From that day until date, there has been a remarkable change in me. My happiness can be compared to the happiness that a blind person experiences when he gets his vision.

Your predictions were accurate and the remedies that you had suggested for my problems have worked like a miracle. Not only is my health improving rapidly but I also feel that I have got a new life. The gems that you recommended me to wear have benefited me greatly. Not only have you created hope in my life but your rational counselling has helped me a lot by boosting my confidence and morale. Thank you once again and wishing you a prosperous, healthy and bright future. Please continue to guide people to solve their problems and create hope in their hearts.

Please reply me when you receive this mail. I am going to appear for level 1 exam in December. Will I get through that exam? The results of that exam will be in March 2005.

Thanking you and waiting for your reply.

Regards,
Joshi
