"Natoo Kaka"

Chicago is blessed by Shri Swami Vivekanand presence over a century ago. Since then, it still continues to draw highly spirituals souls. The passion of one NRI, who is only known to few lucky ones as "Natoo kaka", is to selflessly provide a light, in lives full of darkness of many individuals. Many obstacles in life can be overcome through the Science of Astrology, it also can help in managing the crises if planned in timely manner.

Extremely humble and always ready to help anybody sincerely and indiscriminately; Natoo kaka's brain is Astrological book and flows instantly through his Tongue. He is blessed to be surrounded by a large family members and friends in the neighborhood. It is like an Indian village where the love and care peeps out of doors and windows.

Born in 1935, in Ranoli in the Borsad district of Gujarat in India, he became beloved by all in the village due to his kind mannerism. The eldest amongst his brothers and 4 sisters he had the responsibility to be the role model for his siblings and also the caretaker. At the age of 17, upone finishing the high school education, parents handed him the hand of young beautiful Chandrakanta Ben in the marriage. Also the family moved to Pune for the next 18 years.

Aspiring to be doctor, he joined MS University and was offered admission in "B" group, required for leading to Medicine. This meant for him to stay away from his friends and which God did not approve the plan as Father's illness forced him to choose the convenient path of "A" group leading to Engineering major. He was able to transfer easily. Unfortunately, lack of interest in engineering combined with duty of helping father in the family business, he could not devout enough time for the study and eventually dropped out from college.

Unlike most typical whiners who always blames others for their failure, he, in spite of being born Vaishya, chose the path of "Brahm Jannati Brahmin". The soul returns to finish the unfulfilled mission of previous life. He also developed his love for the Algebra with help of travelling Pundits and local businessmen as a hobby and Astrology became his hobby instantly. This hobby took serious turn with the Sants' and Mahatamjis' guidance. If there is a will there is a way and the intense desire produced positive opportunity. Gurus also are looking for the right disciples to pass on the knowledge. His holiness Shri Tyagi Baba, 86 yrs old Shivait guru descended to guide and bless the 45 year soul in Pune. He served a Siddh Yogi "PUJYA SHRI AJARANGDASAJI TYAGIBABA" for three weeks, and the rest was history. In less than a month, Tyagi Baba, pleased by Sewa, love and affection from the new disciple, showered him with blessing and departed the knowledge of Astrology and Atmasfurna.

In 1989, at the age of 55 he moved to USA, however the better half's plan to accompanying him was cancelled due to health reason and she went back from Bombay airport at the last minute. Natoo kaka says the separation was destined in his life according to the stars in his Horoscope. Due to immigration rules, next opportunity came in 1997 when Chandrakanta ben could join him in USA.

He says in Kaliyug, due to low intellectuals and morals; a Friend cheating Friend, Wife cheating Husband and son cheating the father is rampant and these acts can not be pardoned, only the great soul can pardon such crimes. All are born with the good virtues but the individual moving away from good behavior creates the misery to self and others. For Nar to become Narayan the soul need to be extremely happy and jubilant. Amongst the creatures created by the almighty, human race scores highest in Jealousy towards each other. I "Aham" destroy's one's Shakti.

Tyagi Baba took Samadhi in 95-96. But he lives through Natoo Kaka and keeps on helping those who seek it. Through the words of mouth, he is being sought by many and seeking guidance to make their life better.

Indic civilization and Vedic culture has been grossly maligned and the Caste system attacked with a purpose. It is always easy to thrash the concepts beyond ones' comprehension. However, a Vaishya with self determination became living legend as True Brahmin by Karma. Under all the obstacles, he achieved the true PHD and he should be truly called DR. Natoo Kaka.
