Karakas: The most complete collection of the Significations of the Planets, Signs, and Houses as used in Vedic or Hindu Astrology
Das Goravani was born Richard Edward Wurst in 1960 in Oakland California.  Although raised Irish Catholic, and he considered entering the Seminary to become a priest, he instead took interest in the Indian Vaisnava Religion at the age of 19, and devoted much of his life to its Astrological Science.   Teaching himself computer programming in the 1980s, he realized the potential for this emerging technology to make Astrology accessible to the public at large. He created one of the first, and best loved Jyotish programs: Goravani Jyotish.
