Raman restarted The Astrological Magazine in 1936, which was earlier run by his grandfather, and

remained its editor for over 62 years. After his death, the magazine was run until December 2007 by

his son, Niranjan Babu Bangalore and his daughter, Gayatri Devi Vasudev, when it was shut down

citing no reasons. It is now relaunched as The Astrological eMagazine by his son Niranjan Babu.[2]

He represented India at the Astrological Congress held at Cambridge, England, and the International

Astrology Conference at New York. Travelling around the world, he delivered innumerable lectures

in Germany, England, France, Italy, Austria, Holland, Canada, Japan, and the United States of

America, addressing universities, medical associations, and educational and cultural institutions on

different aspects of astrology, Hindu astronomy, philosophy, and Indian culture.[citation needed]

In 1968, the Akhila Bharateeya Samskrita Sammelana awarded him the Doctor of Literature degree,

and in June 1976 the Kumaon University (U.P.) awarded him the honorary Doctor of Letters degree.[3]

Raman was the first to deliver a lecture, Relevance of Astrology in Modern Times, in 1970 at the

United Nations, New York, which evoked much interest in diplomatic circles. He asserted

that astrology was a science.[citation needed]

Raman founded the Indian Council Of Astrological Sciences in 1984 to regulate the study and

practice of astrology in the country with chapters in Bangalore, Madras, Delhi, Kanpur, Trivandrum,

Patna, and other cities.

In October 1992, Raman, on a visit to the United States of America to deliver the keynote address at

the First International Symposium on Vedic Astrology, held at Dominican College in San Rafael,

California,[4] mooted the idea of a national body to organise the study of Indian astrology in the

States. The American Council of Vedic Astrology was founded under Raman's guidance by a group

of Americans to help popularize the study of Indian astrology in USA. David Frawley, the president of

the council from 1993-2003, mentions Raman for his inspiration and guidance.[5] Raman was also a

patron founder of the British Association of Vedic Astrology in 1998.

Mr. K. V. Mallikarjuna Rao, an eminent astrologer from Hyderabad, has translated many of Raman's

books into Telugu.
