Astrology Credentials

Andrew’s mother, late Mrs. Ujjwala Dutta (Srimati Deblina) was his first Guru. She initiated him into this vast ocean of astrology (Jyotisha) at quite an early age. Andrew’s mother taught him the esoteric principles of remedial measures in astrology apart from infusing the basic foundation of Hindu or Vedic astrology.

She held his hands carefully and brought him to the shores of the occean of astrology. Dr. Andrew picked up his initial lessons of predictive astrology from his mother. He also observed and learnt from his mother’s illustrious astrological practice in Kolkata with innumerable clients.

His second Guru is ‘Jyotiryogi’ ji (Sri Pramod Ranjan Mohanto) who trained him in Vedic or Hindu astrology. He was very fortunate to be the only disciple of ‘Jyotiryogi’ ji. Jyotiryogi ji groomed and trained him in the field of astrology and taught him and shared with him all the experiential knowledge that he gained in four and a half decade as a leading professional astrologer of Kolkata.

He taught Andrew remedial measures in astrology through gem stones that can have miraculous effect on individuals, following the methods advocated by the famous late Sadhan Bhai of Kolkata. His magnanimity towards him is bigger than the seven seas. 

His third Guru was one of the famous legends in Krishnamurti Paddhati (KP) astrology in the world—late Sri P.V.K. Punneswara Rao ji, of Hyderabad who practiced astrology for more than six decades. Andrew had a personal, one-to-one learning under him. His Guruji Sri Rao ji has selflessly shared his knowledge of KP system and imbibed spirituality and positive virtues in Dr. Andrew during his training in KP system under him at Rao ji’s own residence in Hyderabad. Rao ji was the direct student of late Sri V.B.N. Sarma ji of Warrangal, who himself resided in the house of late K.S. Krishnamurti (the inventor of KP system) and learnt the technique from the great Guru himself.

Sri Rao ji’s presence in his life is like a Divine blessing and he has brought Dr. Andrew very close to the Supreme Soul. He has given Dr. Andrew a spiritual birth. Without his handholding, Dr. Andrew would not have been so close to God as he is today. 

Therefore, Dr. Andrew Dutta practices the most authentic KP astrology because he is privy to the real and original principles of KP astrology directly through the K.S. Krishnamurti lineage of “Gharana”.

Both his Gurujis have loved him like their own son and have built a strong character in him to become an honest astrologer for the benefit of the society. Apart from training him in astrology, they have shown him the path of Dharma that each and every astrologer should follow. Andrew’s mother brought him to the shores of the ocean of astrology and his two Gurujis have taught him how to swim effortlessly in that vast and deep ocean.

Fight for Astrology

Dr. Andrew Dutta (Sri Indrajit) belongs to the select group of rare astrologers worldwide who have staunchly advocated for the field of astrology and vigorously confronted rationalists and anti-astrology campaigns. His resolute support for astrology had a profound impact in West Bengal starting in 2001, following the release of his Bengali book titled “Jyotish Shastrer Baignanik Vitti,” which translates to “The Scientific Bases of Astrology.” Unlike numerous self-proclaimed astrologers on the internet lacking substantial credentials, background, and a long history in astrology, Dr. Andrew Dutta (Sri Indrajit) has demonstrated his expertise from a very young age. Proof of the pudding lies in eating.

Dr. Dutta, at the age of 26, published this book on December 25, 2001, in response to unethical editing by a private TV channel during one of its programs, where they misrepresented his correct answer to favor rationalists. The printing cost of the book was subsidized by M/s Swapna Printing Works in Kolkata, and artist Subhankar Basu provided the cover page design free of charge. The book quickly sold out at the Calcutta Book Fair in 2002, with the price set solely to cover production expenses.

Once this book was published, there was abject silence from all rationalists of West Bengal. NOT A SINGLE RATIONALISTS, who were denigrating astrology, palmistry and allied sciences, were to be seen on the scene of anti-propaganda after this book was published. Even till today, after 21 long years, NOT A SINGLE RATIONALIST could muster the courage to write a single word against this well researched book, which not only provided the scientific bases of various parts of astrology in a nutshell, but also exposed the hypocrisy and malignant intentions of self-proclaimed rationalists in West Bengal as well as in other parts of the world.
