JSD Pani by profession was into Pharma Industry and started on his own in the year        1990. At his very early age of 8, he was showing interest in Astrology and his mother    became his first Guru in Astrology. After some time the basics of Astrology was taught by one Sri Ramachar from the Village Haragadde. In fact it is Sri Ramachar,who made JSD to continue the interest in Astrology. After wards, it is the grace of Guru that, many stalwarts in the field like Dr Ranabeer Taranath ( Son of a legendary Dr Pandit Taranath and brother of another legendary, sarot mastero Dr Rajeev Taranath), Sri Gunjuru Ramachandra Shastry ( Pushya) & Dr B.V Raman, another legendary in Astrology have become masters.  JSD cannot forget those days and nights that were spent with Dr Ranbeer Taranath,discussing on astrology during 1977 and 1980.
