During the period he specialized in the study of and discussion on Bhaagavatam and Hindu Astrology. He was honoured by the Mahaaraajah of Travancore. On 25th July 1910 he was honoured by the Mahaaraja of Mysore. While introducing him to the Mahaaraajah, Dewaan V.P. Madhava Row remarked: "Though young he is a man of exceptionally brilliant parts and wonderful grasp of the principles of the Vedaanta. I derived much benefit from his discourses. What I consider to be a special merit in the young man is his spirit of tolerance." The Sankaraachaaryaa of Kaanchipuram and Sringari Mutts also had conferred titles on him. THE TIMES IN WHICH HE EMERGED: As the beginning of the century Hindu orthodoxy was, to Shelley's words about catholicism, "only

Each book carried a scholarly perface as lengthy as Bemard Shaw's detailed contents and an Index of Slokas to be of help to the users of the book; the Rt. Hon'ble Srinivasa Sastri echoed the thought of the otehr readers when he said Kadalangudi's footnotes were imaginative and considerate of the reader's difficulty. The value of each book was enhanced by the author's collateral references which bring together all the learning on the subject and critical commentary at once admirable and most helpful. In the astrology books judgement based on the author's experience is also given wherever there are conflicting schools of thought. The meaning of the text is clearly and

What is not widely known is that he was a great poet; he had left behind him a large number of Sanskrit verses which constituted his diary. Around 1940 Kulapati K.M. Munshi invited him to become Principal of Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan Sanskrit College in Bombay, Kadalangudi declined it with thanks since he wanted to be self-employed and enjoy the accruing freedom to pursue his studies. RAJAJI's TRIBUTE: While speaking at Kadalangudi's 'Sataabhishekam' function (completion of 81 years 4 months of age equivalent to 100 lunar years) at Siva-Vishnu Temple in Madras on October 11, 1958 Rajaji (who was of the same age) expressed as follows: "The public need not bother to arrange another grand celebration of my 'Sataabhishekam'. I deem it to have been celebrated along with this function in honour of the veteran scholar Revered Pandit Kadalangudi Natesa Sastri." Such was the mutual admiration and affection between the two intellectual giants.

Determining the rising star at the time of birth and preparing the horoscope of the native and on this basis predicting the good and the bad effects that may ensue in the course of his life is called the art of horoscopy. But the Science of Inquiry (or 'PRASNA') is a more intriguing one. A man loses his property all of a sudden; how does it happen? can he ever recover it? A person hides an object in his hand and inquires the astrologist whether he can declare what it is. Or he thinks of some object or idea; can the astrologist predict its nature, quantity and characteristics? That science which solves these enigmas is named Prasna. The means by which one is able to determine exactly the various configurations of the planets at one particular moment, whether in the present, past or future is called the science of calculation. All these three aspects of the science of astrology had to be mastered, if one is to make predictions correctly. Having brought out publications on the science of horoscopy by translating ancient classical Sanskrit books on the subject, we now undertake the work of transcreating another classic entitled Pragnaana Deepikaa which deals with predictions in relation to questions asked now. We have supplemented this work by quoting from a Tamil classic on the subject under the title JINENDRA MAALAI at appropriate places.

The directions of the planets will likewise change in the 3rd,4th,5th, 6th, 7th and 8th Yaamas. The movements of the planets in terms of the signs too can be determined thus. Each sign is divided into 4 paadas, and the 12 signs have 48 paadas. In each Yaama every planet has 6 paadas to move, i.e. in the first Yaama (6 to 9 a.m.) the Sun will be in movement in 4 paadas of Aries and 2 paadas of Taurus; while Mars will be in 2 paadas of Taurus and 4 paadas of Gemini and so on for other planets. 87 प्रागादीशानपर्यन्तान्वारे शाद्न्तकान् ग्रहान्। प्रथमे प्रहरे चैन्द्यां द्वितीयेऽन्यादिकोणतः। एवं याम्ये तृतीये चं क्रमेण परिकल्पयेत् ।।८८।। From east to north-east are the planets posited from the 1st Yaama to the 8th Yaama of the day.
