He registered the feat of setting an incredible record — being the only author of a daily newspaper column appearing over the longest period. Since 1999, Sharma has had 27,000 columns published in national and international media outlets, in the field of astrology. Elated about the incredible achievement, he credits his efforts and hard work over the years for the feat. “It is the hard work of close to 25 years. When you see the results of the efforts, your mindset changes and brings happiness. A recognition like this is a big, proud moment,” he shares.

It’s the love and support from his clients that has offered great encouragement all these years, feels Sharma. The prolific numerologist and vastu consultant, who has also authored over 15 books on astrology, numerology and vastu, says, “What keeps me going is the love from my clients — how they express their feelings to me. Who I am today is because of the grace of the Almighty and the love of the people. When a person approaches you and starts believing in you, that’s what gives me satisfaction. It is such a good feeling.”

Recalling one of the most memorable moments of his life and career, he says, “Three or four years ago, a girl living in New York, USA, messaged me. She had some issues with her love life. During the conversation, she told me she had been reading my columns.

I was surprised, and asked her, ‘Kaise padhte ho wahan se?’ Then, she said, ‘App pe subscribe kar ke’. I felt so touched!” What also delights Sharma is recognition from readers. “Whenever I am out for work or at social gatherings, and people come up to me and say, ‘Sir aapka naam hum 10-15 saal se padh rahe hain newspaper mein... Jo aap batate hain is so relatable’ — it brings me immense happiness,” he gushes.

The astrologer has also been given the title of grand master by Asia Book of Records for writing Cultivate Your Relationships the Vastu Way, a unique book on vastu that has been acknowledged as the first book ever written on relationships — through the lens of vastu. “Acts and achievements like these push one to strive better and do more. This was my goal, and now I’m set to achieve even more,” he signs off.
