Stars always fascinated Shyam S. Kansal (or, Shyam, as he is popularly called). The events which led to him exploring the varied dimensions of astrology make up a long journey. In March 1987 he decided to pursue astrology in depth. The more he studied Vedic astrology (Jyotish), the more he was convinced that it was a fascinating subject worthy of research. He started developing a program, initially dedicated to Ashtakvarga system only, way back in 1991. He worked hard by putting in countless hours of programming to create his first astrology software “Rishi”, which was not meant for sale, but just for his personal use. Till 1995, it was a part-time passion. Since 1996, astrology became a full-time job. He would read books and extract theories, think of missing links, integrate it all in his mind and think of new interpretations and try out various principles on as many charts as possible. Since then he had explored many techniques and tools of Vedic Astrology along the way. Today, Shyam has a rich library of astrological texts, both by modern astrologers and translations of the ancient masters.
