In the year 2000 when K.N.Rao. was ailing seriously and was unable even to walk, astrology was introduced as a subject of study in modern Indian universities , (it has been taught in Sanskrit institutions for many decades and centuries), it was relentlessly attacked by the pseudo-scientists, pseudo-intellectuals and the media, both print and electronic, carried on a relentless propaganda. A case was filed first against this decision of the University Grants Commission in Madras High Court where it was dismissed on preliminary grounds. The well known scientist Padmanabhiah filed a similar case in Andhra Pradesh High Court where too it was dismissed on preliminary grounds. Surprisingly, not a single English knowning and speaking astrologers in these two citadels of Hindu orthodoxy even decided to appear as petitioner in person. That speaks volumes for their "love and pride" in the great ancient Hindu astrology. But Padmanabhiah pursued the dismissed case further and appealed to the Supreme Court where the legal luminary, Shanti Bhushan succeeded in getting the case admitted to be heard on merits. Recovering slowly from his sickness, not yet fit to sit for long hours in a court of law, Rao appealed to astrologers of Delhi and of other centres to appear in person and defend the cause and case of astrology in the Supreme Court. At least twenty of them promised to do so but not one of them came anywhere near the Supreme Court even to hear proceedings of the case when it was being heard for admission ! Later, when it was heard on merits on 4 November 2004, to his consternation, Rao found that he was the only petitioner in person to defend it and praying to God to give him stamina to defend the case, he not merely defended the case but even won demolishing all the arguments of the famous lawyer, Shanti Bhushan. Read an account of all this with evidences and the court judgement together with the great research Rao has done on the religio-scientific-social legacy of India's composite culture in ASTROLOGY THE SUPER SCIENCE. In this book many of the remarkable predictions given by Rao in mundane astrology are given along with some notable failures about which he had always had the sterling honesty to write as an ideal teacher. The same media, some well known English newspapers and weeklies and the psudo-intellectuals, scientists who never studied astrology but attacked it throwing behind their ignorance the weight of their reputations and, the television, ever referred to the triumph of astrology in the highest court of India !!! The critics of astrology thus suffered a hattrick of defeats but there are some television channels which still carry on this attack slyly not knowing that they can be sued for contempt of court since the the judgement of the Supreme Court is on the merits of the case. Television channels known as idiot boxes are tabloid in approach, and commercial. If the media has an honest intention of contributing to social causes why does it not take up a fight against fraudulent astrologers who make fortunes in the name of fraudulent and non existent yogas like KAAL SARPA YOGA and costly remedial measures through which they cheat people all over India ? Rao is well known all over the world for some notable achievements, the greatest being as the founder member of the world's largest school of astrology in the Bharatiya Vidya Bhawan, New Delhi where there are in 2006, more than nine hundred students and twenty six teachers on the teaching faculty of the Institute of Astrology. Not merely is Rao a highly successful teacher but is the teacher of teachers besides being a very rational and scientific astrologer who wants sanity and modernization to a science which otherwise will remain archaic and look like the vestigal remnant of a dogma and not the super science it really is. All the members of the teaching faculty of the Bharatiya Vidya Bhawan are his own former students. He has encouraged all of them to write books with their original researches and fifteen of them have done it so far. Single handedly, Rao has encouraged and produced more writers and researchers than any living or dead astrologer. He also edits the Journal of Astrology which is the best astrological three monthly carrying the best researches of the world. To give to jyotisha through rediscovery and research, Rao has written nearly thirty books some of which have been translated in Russian and Japanese. He has taught astrology to thousands of students in India, USA and Russia over a period of nineteen years now since the founding the Bharatiya Vidya Bhawan.
