In a proud moment for the world of astrology, the renowned father-daughter duo - Astrologer Dr Prem Kumar Sharma and Astrologer Manisha Koushik - were felicitated at the prestigious Bharat Mandapam by AsiaOne for their extraordinary contributions to the field. Dr Prem Kumar Sharma, a three-time Limca Book of Records holder and Resident Astrologer at Hindustan Times and The Hitavada, was honoured with the title of Asia’s Greatest Leader 2024–25. Meanwhile, his daughter Manisha Koushik - a popular astrologer, columnist, and viral numerologist on social media - was awarded India’s Greatest Leader 2024–25.

 

The grand ceremony, hosted by AsiaOne, celebrated exemplary individuals across various industries who have demonstrated vision, leadership, and impact. This recognition also celebrates their recent milestone - the publication of their research-based book Rahu and Ketu: In Predictive Astrology, released in 2024 by leading publisher Prabhat Publications. The book marks a significant step forward in debunking age-old fears surrounding the shadowy planets Rahu and Ketu. Drawing on decades of experience and deep study, the duo presents a practical and insightful approach, making this work a must-read for astrology learners, practitioners, and anyone who has long feared these misunderstood celestial entities.

 

Dr Sharma added, “This award is not just a personal honour, but a reflection of the trust people have placed in our work. Astrology must move beyond fear—it should empower and guide.” The recognition of the duo is not only a celebration of their personal journey, but also a powerful endorsement of astrology’s evolving place in modern times. Their consistent efforts to bring clarity, confidence, and scientific thinking into astrological practice make them among the most trusted names in the field.
