    I'm a Maharshi and the author of many ancient Indian texts. Speaker of the Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra abbreviated as BPHS (Sanskrit: बृहत् पराशर होरा शास्त्र;) is considered a foundational text of Hindu astrology and it is the most comprehensive extant Śāstra on Vedic natal astrology, in particular, the Horā branch (predictive astrology, e.g. horoscopes). Author of the Vishnu Purana before his son Vyasa wrote it in its present form. Grandson of Vasishtha, the son of Śakti Maharṣi.

    I love that I was able to write the Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra, a text that has stood the test of time and is still considered a foundational work in Hindu astrology.
