Biography of Dr. Narendra Gangadhar Umrikar
I am a practitioner of astrology, vastushastra, vedic science and alternative medicine from India, humbly serving the mankind through my institutions Vastu Spandan and Astro Booster Astrology Center in the western city of Pune in Maharashtra.
Although I grew up in the holy town of Paithan, near Aurangabad in Maharashtra and studied Sanskrit language early in the school, my journey into the world of ancient Indian knowledge commenced rather late in life, in the early 2000s, nearly a decade after I obtained my engineering degree in electronics and telecommunication. I served as engineer with renowned employers, studied management, and later became an entrepreneur to set up my own business of computer sales and service.
During the years 1994 to 2000 my business grew by leaps and bounds. The life looked rosy and success unstoppable: until fate dealt a sudden blow and, for no apparent reason, my business came crashing down. Everything looked bleak and I groped in the dark. It was at this stage that I met Pandit Yashwant Maggirwar, who presented a convincing explanation based on astrological predictions and recommended vastu products that turned the wheels of my fate once again towards prosperity.
However, I was too amazed and fascinated to give up the treasure trove of ancient Indian knowledge and its magical powers that I had found by chance. Encouraged by Pandit Yashwant Maggirwar, I developed a deep interest in these sciences dormant for ages and undertook structured studies and research in the fields of vastushastra, astrology, vedic science and alternative medicine. In the year 2007, I passed the Vastushastra Examination and in the year 2014, I obtained B.A. in Vedang Jyotish from Kavikulguru Kalidas Sanskrit University. Subsequently I went on to earn M.Phil and Ph.D degrees from leading institutions.
I travelled across fifteen countries attending scholarly gatherings and presenting numerous research papers with success stories of all those who benefited from my practice. My presentation titled “Role of Indian astrology in precautions, identifications and remedy of various diseases” at International Conference Series on Restorative & Alternative Medicine held at 2016 at Chicago, USA was well received. I jointly organized a national conference on Practical Approach of Astrology, as well as the Astro Manthan and Vastu Manthan programmes in the year 2020. Earlier, I had the occasion to chair many sessions at the International Congress on Restorative and Alternative Medicine held at Vienna in 2017.
Building a small team of my own, I took up manufacturing and promotion of various spiritual products used in astrology and vastushastra as remedies of serious obstacles of life. Of this work, Vastu Spandan was born in the year 2007 where we provide training and consultancy services all over India while pursuing research to gain profound knowledge in vedic vastushastra. The most significant part of providing remedies includes gems and yantras. In particular, the Shri Yantra, a power centre of Adishakti, empowered with three deities Mahakali, Mahalaxmi and Mahasaraswati, is often utilized to rectify various defects related to vastu. Specialists from Vastu Spandan have installed Shri Yantra internationally across Germany, Dubai, Mauritius, Egypt, UK, South Africa and Singapore. The effective and miraculous results of Shri Yantra are regularly reported by the beneficiaries worldwide.
Vastu Spandan has the privilege of being honored by an invitation from Sri Sri Ravi Shankar Guruji under the aegis of Art of Living (AOL) to conduct three-day and seven-day courses since 2010. More than 500 students from across the world have benefited through this blend of the world-renowned AOL and Vastu Spandan.
I established Astro Booster Astrology Center in the year 2016 with the main objective of providing scientific guidance through trainings and consultancy. My engineering knowledge came handy as we developed the unique Astro Booster software based on Ashtakvarga system—a unique method to assess the strength and support of planets in Indian Astrology. The users find Astro Booster a boon to aid them in making the right decisions at various stages of life.
