Organization

It is necessary to strengthen the moral and ethical values of our society in order to establish a just social order. There is no better way of doing this than the propagation of Vedic Wisdom including knowledge of astrology. The council was therefore formed in November 1984 with an objective to establish an All India Body and to ensure progress in astrological studies. ICAS is a formal registered Apex body of top notch astrologers of the country involved in imparting education, certification and examination of true Vedic astrology to the aspirants. ICAS as an Apex body is known for its reach and centers across the country.

Founded by Dr B V Raman and now Headed By Prof. A.B. Shukla, IAS, ICAS has the credit of reviving and rejuvenating the ancient science of astrology in line with the vision of Dr.B.V.Raman and creating new respect for it amongst the intelligentsia of the country.

Dr.B.V.Raman, Founder President

Dr. B.V.Raman ( August 8, 1912 - December 20, 1998), Founder of the Indian Council of Astrological Sciences (ICAS), may rightly be regarded as the Father of Modern Astrology. Dr.Raman spent his whole life in the study of relations between cosmic and terrestrial phenomena. He was able to demonstrate by his writings and predictions made through The Astrological Magazine and other media that the astrological theory of cosmic influences affecting human life is essentially correct.

Dr.Raman was a simple, unassuming man but he was a man of formidable energy, courage and conviction and took on the onslaughts of scientists and their attacks on astrology single-handedly for over sixty years. Dr.Raman worked relentlessly to highlight its scientific foundations, to remove the misconception it was superstition from the minds of the educated public and in the process succeeded in creating a wave of dignity and respect for Jyotisha in the intelligentsia the world over

Associated with the ICAS since its inception, Justice Kapoor was appointed as National Secretary in 1988 and Controller of Examinations in 1989. In 1998, The Founder President Dr. B.V. Raman nominated Justice Kapoor as the Hon. National President in 1998 which post he held till 2008. Subsequently, he held the post of Chairman of the International Wing of ICAS contributing immensely to the development of the organisation during his tenure in these capacities.

A prolific writer, many of his articles have appeared in The Astrological Magazine, Modern Astrology and the Hindi Jyotish Manthan. He has conducted workshops across India on various topics. His work on books Splendor of Vargas and Education & Profession remain a unique research contribution to the extant literature in astrology.
