About Santhoshkumar Sharma Gollapelli: The Mind and Spirit Behind OnlineJyotish.com
Namaste and welcome. I am Santhoshkumar Sharma Gollapelli, the founder, lead astrologer, and technical architect behind OnlineJyotish.com. With a journey in astrology that began in the late 1990s and a digital presence established in 2004, I have dedicated over two decades to providing authentic Vedic astrological guidance to individuals across the globe.
This platform is the culmination of a lifelong passion for the divine science of Jyotish, combined with the technical skill to build and maintain a comprehensive online resource. Here, you will discover more about my background, my philosophy, and my commitment to this sacred practice.
My Astrological Journey: A Calling
My path to becoming an astrologer was not planned, but destined. On the auspicious day of Vijaya Dashami in October 1996, a profound moment of inspiration guided me to explore the celestial science of astrology. Until that point, my academic focus had been on literature, having earned a postgraduate degree in Telugu from Osmania University.
Heeding this inner call, I sought the tutelage of my respected uncle, the late Sri Gollapelli Pedda Hanmandlu, a renowned traditional astrologer in my native Dharmapuri. This marked the beginning of my formal education under the Guru-Shishya parampara. My studies were intensive, but a life-altering health challenge with Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis solidified my resolve. During this period of recovery, I immersed myself completely in the study of astrology, turning a personal challenge into a source of profound strength and knowledge.
While my foundation is in traditional Vedic astrology, my pursuit of accuracy led me to master other precise systems, notably the Krishnamurti Paddhati (KP System), as well as principles from Nadi Astrology and Lal Kitab. After nearly five years of rigorous study and practical application, I began offering professional consultations to my local community, laying the groundwork for a global practice.
Pioneering Online Astrology: The Birth of OnlineJyotish.com
In 2002, at the encouragement of my late cousin, Sri Velpuri Srinivas, I began offering complimentary online astrological services through our local temple's website. The overwhelming positive response from Telugu speakers worldwide revealed a significant need for a dedicated, authentic astrology platform in their native language.
This inspired the creation of OnlineJyotish.com in April 2004, one of the very first comprehensive Telugu astrology websites. For over 20 years, I have been personally managing every aspect of this portal—from the intricate astrological calculations and report generation to the website's design, development, and maintenance.
Roots and Heritage
I hail from Dharmapuri, Telangana, an ancient Agraharam (a center of Vedic learning) on the sacred banks of the Godavari River. Born into a traditional Brahmin family, I was raised in an environment steeped in spiritual knowledge and heritage, which has deeply influenced my practice and my approach to Jyotish.
