Passion for Learning & Early Interest in the Occult

A voracious reader from the age of nine, Rama developed a lifelong habit of studying newspapers and books across a wide array of topics. Her curiosity led her to explore Western astrology and numerology during her teenage years, but it was Indian Vedic astrology that eventually became her calling.

In 1991, her sister and spiritual guide, Smt. Usha N., gifted her a set of Tarot cards—an act that sparked a deeper interest in the occult. She later attended a one-day Tarot workshop by Shri K.B. Gopalakrishnan, who encouraged her to join his One-Month Foundation Course in Vedic Astrology. Her eldest sister and role model of the family, Smt. Uma S. gifted her the first set of Astrology books to read after the one-month course.

The Astrological Journey

Under the mentorship of Shri K.B. Gopalakrishnan, Rama began her formal training in Vedic astrology. Her mother’s faith in astrology, especially in the power of remedies (Upaaya), further inspired her to pursue the subject seriously. With intense discipline, she mastered the fundamentals and went on to study advanced techniques, staying up late at night to read and practice. She extensively studied works by luminaries such as Shri B.V. Raman and Shri K.N. Rao, among others.

Over time, she expanded her expertise to include:

  • Nadi Techniques
  • Ashtakavarga
  • Transits
  • Jamakkol Arudam
  • Chandra Nadi
  • KP Astrology (from July 2024, under Shri Krish Eswar Murali)

Client reflection:

Her predictions are almost accurate and amazing. She is very informal in her approach. She's a patient listener. The best part is that her 'pariharams' are simple and effective. Doesn’t involve big money unlike in the case of many others in the field. This is what I like most about her. She is a guide, advisor and counsellor. Learning is an obsession with her and for her, age is no bar. God bless her.
About Madam, she is very calm, caring and polite. I am leading an happy life it’s because of Madam, whatever the questions we have in our mind we can ask her and she will politely replies to each and every question with utmost care and she will let us know the pariharams also to shape our future. Because of those pariharams and her blessings only we are living happily.Last but not least she becomes part of our family.
We have been in touch with Astro Remedies for about 5 years now. We have contacted Ms. Rama Gopalakrishnan for guidance on various matters. Each time we have followed the suggested remedies and received successful results. Moreover, Ms. Rama is very kind natured and pleasant to talk to. Would highly recommend them to people looking for guidance in various matters.
I have had immense understanding about my self and my life through my consultation with mam. She was there to guide me in life when I needed it the most. I ensured all my family members got a consultation as well. She spent a lot of time discussing my chart with me and clarified all my questions very patiently. The pariharam she suggested worked very well and I did it with utmost sincerity. I hope many benefit from her expertise.
I first approached you in July 2015, at a crossroads in my career. Your horoscope reading and detailed advice helped me overcome that challenge with confidence. Since then, you have been my trusted guide. Your insightful counsel, patience and thorough reports have always provided clarity and comfort. Recently, your valuable suggestions during my property sale were deeply appreciated by my family. I pray to the Almighty for your continued strength and good health to help many more.
Dr. Rama Gopalakrishnan did a detailed horoscope reading for me a year ago that has turned out to be quite accurate thus far. I liked her openness and warmth in discussing the reading. I felt safe and comfortable sharing questions and concerns with her. I also appreciated the simple daily prayer and ritual she suggested as support to the intentions I held for my future.
