Sri Santhosh Kumar Sharma Gollapelli: The Chief Architect Behind OnlineJyotish.com

Namaskaram! Welcome to our website. My name is Santhosh Kumar Sharma Gollapelli. I am the founder, chief astrologer, and technical architect of OnlineJyotish.com. My astrological journey, which began in the late 1990s, took a digital form in 2004. I have dedicated over two decades of my time with the goal of providing authentic and accurate Vedic astrological guidance to people around the world.

This platform is a reflection of my lifelong passion for the divine science of astrology. It is further strengthened by the technical expertise required to build and maintain a comprehensive online resource. Here, you will learn more about my background, my principles, and my commitment to this sacred science.

📖 My Astrological Journey: A Divine Calling

Becoming an astrologer was not a path I intentionally chose; it was a divine decree. A divine incident that occurred on the auspicious day of Vijaya Dashami, October 21, 1996, led me to take steps toward the science of astrology. Until then, my education was entirely focused on literature; I completed my Post Graduation (M.A.) in Telugu from Osmania University.

However, responding to an inner calling, I became a disciple of my uncle, the late Sri Gollapelli Pedda Hanmandlu, a well-known traditional astrologer in our hometown of Dharmapuri. It was here that my formal astrological education began in 1996 under the Guru-Shishya parampara. A severe health issue I faced—Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis and a spinal injury—only made my resolve stronger. During my recovery period, I studied astrology more deeply, turning my personal challenge into a source of immense knowledge.

Although my foundation is traditional Vedic astrology, my quest to provide more accurate results led me to master other methodologies as well, such as the Krishnamurti Paddhati (KP System), Nadi Astrology, and Lal Kitab. After five years of rigorous study and practical experience, I began offering professional astrological services.

📅 Journey Timeline

💻 Pioneering Online Astrology: The Birth of OnlineJyotish.com

In 2002, with the encouragement of my brother, the late Sri Velpuri Srinivas, I started offering free online astrological services through our local temple's website. The tremendous response from Telugu people worldwide surprised me. I realized then just how much a standard astrological website in our mother tongue was needed.

With that inspiration, OnlineJyotish.com took shape in April 2004. It was one of the very first comprehensive astrological websites in Telugu. For the past two decades, I have personally overseen every responsibility—from astrological calculations and report generation to website design, development, and maintenance.

🕉️ My Roots and Heritage

My hometown is the Agraharam of Dharmapuri (Telangana), a well-known abode of Vedic scholars located on the banks of the sacred Godavari River. Born into a traditional Brahmin family, I grew up in a spiritual atmosphere. This background has greatly influenced my perspective on the science of astrology and my analytical approach.

🎯 Mission and Vision: Om Sri Sai Jyotisha Vidyapeetham

Around the same time I started this website, I also founded Om Sri Sai Jyotisha Vidyapeetham. The primary objective of this institution is to impart and protect Vedic sciences, especially astrology, for future generations through education, ethical practice, and social service.

🎓 Credentials & Qualifications

🏆 Recognition and Awards

The trust people show in my astrological services and their affection is the biggest award I have received. Being conferred the title of "Jyotisha Ratna" at the All India Astrological Conference held in Hyderabad on October 28, 2004, remains an unforgettable milestone in my life. A felicitation was held at the Dharmapuri Sri Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy Temple by the Temple Chairman and officials.
