Three astrologers from Kerala came to see Sri Raghavendra Thirtha. They bowed to the Swami and spoke of their proficiency in Astrology. The Swami gave them each a copy of his horoscope and asked them to examine it separately by sitting in three different rooms.
He asked three scholars of his Mutt to examine the writings of the astrologers. The scholars said to the Swami. O Swami! The three scholars have given their predictions precisely. But in the matter of longevity of life, they have erred. One has predicted a hundred years, another three hundred and the third seven hundred. The hundred years predicted by one astrologer, is credible but the verdicts of the other two are not. It is against the custom of the world.
Thereupon Sri Raghavendra, who was omniscient in his powers, said to the scholars, “Gentlemen, the writings of all the three astrologers are true. Do you wish to know how? The three versions are to be coordinated in this manner.
That means, I shall live for a hundred years. My works will have potency for three hundred years and will fulfill the desires of all those who read them daily, with faith and reverence. I shall abide in the Brindavan in ‘Yoganishta’ for seven hundred years and fulfill the desires of the devotees.
