For the past 25 years, Harikesanallur Venkatraman has been writing music related articles and reviews in Tamil dailies and other magazines. His authority and expertise in Carnatic music is well known and his articles and reviews are received well by the readers and throughout the three decades he has created a tremendous respect and fan following even in this arena.

Even though he is an astrologer and a prominent spiritual personality, he stands firm in his faith that nameology and numerology are imaginative. Changing the name and re-writing the name with a different spelling will not have any effect on the planetary positions and will not have any effect on the future as being advocated by many others. This opinion is of vital importance as we see lots of numerologists and nameologists claim that they could change the future of any individual by changing the names and spelling.

Harikesanallur Venkatraman could be considered as the one and only astrologer who offers his astrological services selflessly without any branching claims to gain monetary benefits.
