 Prof.Krishnamurti was born at Thiruvaiyaru (Lat.10 48N; Long 79 15 E) a short distance Northeastward of the town of Thanjavur in Tamilnadu. Thriuvaiyaru the “Sacred” land of “five rivers (Cauvery, Coleroon or Kollidam, Kudamurutti, Vennar and Vettar) is considered as sacred as Kasi or Varanasi (Banares), if not more. (Kasikku vessam adhikam Thiruvaiyaru). The place is associated with the name of Saint Thyagaraja, a great devotee of Lord Sri Rama and one of the Trimurtis (Trinity) of Carnatic Music, the other two being Sri Syama Sastri and Sri Muthuswami Dikshitar.   

Prof. Krishnamurti was initiated into spiritual practice by Mahakavi Sri Sundaresa Sarma. Brahmasree Sundaresa Sarma is a divine soul, a great Sanskrit poet and scholar. After finishing  his education at St. Joseph’s college, Tiruchirapalli, Prof. Krishnamurti entered the service of the Government of Tamilnadu in the Public Health Department at the King Institute, Guindy, Madras ,on 14-7-1927. He studied the Hindu and Western systems of Astrology thoroughly, but was deeply disappointed at the inadequacy and lack of precision of both. He noticed that a planet in its period invoked the results of a house with which it is not connected by occupation, ownership, association or aspect which are the ordinary considerations in prediction. This opened his eyes to the supreme importance of constellations in prediction. He established by his researches that the results of a planet (in its period) are strongly modified by the lord of the constellation in which it is posited according to the occupation, ownership, association and aspects of the latter. Prof. Krishnamurti understood that the difference in the result should be attributed to the exact portion of the constellation occupied by the planet. For determining the zone of the constellation occupied by the tenanting planet the constellation had to be divided in some significant, scientific manner. The idea of  dividing the constellation in the mysterious unequal  Vimsottari proportion attributed to the venerable Sage Parasara struck him . Prof. Krishnamurti succeeded again in establishing through his researches that the manner (favorable or adverse) in which house result are invoked by a planet is dictated by the lord of the division of the constellation in which the planet is posited (whom he calls the sub-lord) according to the occupation, ownership etc., of the latter(the sublord).
