The family of Parsais has been, at different times State Astrologers to the Maharaja of Jodhpur, Bikaner, Udaipur (Mewar), Ratlam and Sitamau (now in Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh respectively, in India.)Pandit Parsai's late grandfather, Ramnarayaniji Parsai was a very widely known and respected astrologer of his times, while his father, Pandit Bhawanishankar Parsai, had no equal all over Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan in his knowledge and practice of "Ramal-Sastra", a branch of Predictive Science and was widely recognized and respected for remarkable accuracy of his predictions.

Pandit K.B. Parsai is a double degree in MA and is a Sahitya Ratna (Scholar of Literature) In the family tradition, he started learning and practising the science of Astrology and the art of predictions at the young age of 11 years! along side with his school and college education. When he was 20, he joined the civil service initially in a princely state and later in the erstwhile political department of the British Crown in India and after India's independence with the Indian Government. He retired the Civil Service as Director in the Cabinet Secretariat of the Government of India after 40 years of service.

He is the author of many books on astrology including the best seller Star Guide to Predictive Astrology. Astrologer Pandit K.B. Parsai and son, Pandit D.K. Parsai, gave a blockbuster on astrological guidance and "predictive sutras", never before passed beyond father to son or guru to a chosen disciple. This book details subjects to be considered for making predictions under each of the 12 Houses in the birth-chart of a person and the effect of each planet, including combination, with another planet.

Excerpts from the PREFACE:

"This book -- the sixth in the series of STAR GUIDE®from the PARSAI FAMILY -- is born from the recognition of the immortality of human being and the immortality of knowledge (gyan). Normally the concepts and precepts of an ancient knowledge like astrology, (particularly in the predictive side) are passed on from father to his progeny; in other words, kept a closed family secret. But I, born in a small village of Laduna in Madhya Pradesh (INDIA), who had to struggle hard to acquire knowledge and educated myself to obtain double Masters of Arts and Sahitya Ratna (Master of Literature), believe that knowledge must be spread and passed on to generations of people in the tradition of 'Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam' (the whole world is my family).

Let me make it clear that despite controversies, astrology -- the scientific study of the influence of the visible planets in the cosmos on the life and events on earth, based on mathematical calculation of the placement of the time of an individual's birth -- is under no threat of becoming extinct. The kind of people irrespective of their class, religion, background and nationality seeking astrological guidance is incredible... As in any field, there are people who are genuinely knowledgeable and those who feign to be so. This book should enable readers to differentiate between chaff and the grain.

A word about whether astrology is scientific or not. It has become somewhat fashionable these days to deride astrology publicly and seek it privately. My co-author, Pandit D.K. Parsai, has dealt with the subject at length in Introduction to Astrology. This article should clear the confusion. The problem is that the bogey of astrology being hocus pocus is not being raised by the ignorant, but by the knowledgeable people who do so only for argument's sake. The authors have no means to satisfy such die-hard opponents of astrology. Had astrology being a superstition or hocus pocus, it would have died a natural death, instead of surviving through centuries. What is required is sustained funding for proper and objective research in the subject in public domain.

It is in the fitness of things, that I acknowledge the faith in me of thousands of people from all walks of life, strata, and nationality who have consulted me over the years and thus enriched my experience and wisdom. These include VVIPs, scientist, artists, students, professionals, bureaucrats, industrialist, politicians, film stars, as also poor, resourceless and the ordinary people. I also thanks several friends -- and they know who they are -- who helped in various ways in the production of this book."

Star Guide to Love and Marriage is another of Pandit Parsai's popular book, perhaps the only Book of its kind in the world that deals exclusively with the 7th House of a Birth Chart related to Love and Marriage.

Star Guide to Elections - Another first - ever Unique Book on Astrological Guidance for Election Candidates. Astrologer Pandit K. B. Parsai shares his depth of ancestral knowledge and vast experience on the hottest topic - Elections.

The uncertainty of popular franchise is the biggest fear in the mind of any candidate in any elections, in any part of the world. This book is, therefore, conceived as a beacon of light to fill in the lacuna, enabling candidates, prospective candidates and their advisors, to judge their future at the elections. In a sense, this book serves to de-mystify the art of correct calculations and analysis in determining the fortunes of a person in elections. One might add, that computer astrology, which has come to signify the fast-food mindset, will not be of much help, as what required is a knowledgeable micro-study.
