One of such poetic astro grantha has been
created in Marathi (an Indian language) by
the end of 18th century. This well-known
grantha Sahdev-Bhadali created by great
Shahir Haibati Baba. It majorly covers the
muhurta & mundane astrology principles
besides remedies for each Nakshtra. This

book is famous among Village Jyotishas as it covers mostly Agriculture and rain aspects,
effects of major transits such as Grahanas, New Moon, Ekadashi (11th Lunar Day) and
mundane affairs. This gem belongs to Northern parts of Maharashtra, Malwa region and
even part of Gujarat.

Maharashtra. In his young days he was shifted to Triputi Village in search of his Guru Shri
Gopalnath. For next 12 years he had studied various shastras and Puranas and finally his
Guru ordered him to do Kirtan and spread the knowledge to common people.
At his times Sahadev Bhadali granth (work) was very famous in jyotishshastra. Shahir
Haibati, a master in various shastras, had accepted this Sahadev Bhadali Grantha and spread it
to common Farmers and villagers by creating folk songs in local language. Due to his efforts
Jyotisha knowledge has been retained then and flows from mouth to mouth tradition of
general people and making it immortal in Maharashtra. He is the pioneer in creating jyotish
poems in local language, in Maharashtra.
His authority to speak on Spiritual and Philosophical subjects is ranked very high. He always
quotes shlokas from various shastras to support his opinion and became very famous.
In his last days he met Shri Kaivalyanath Maharaj and focused only on his spiritual growth.
He created lot many shishyas from all castes and religions; he even had Muslim shishyas
(students) as well. Amruta Karande, Shambhuraju Guni and Balanath Lahari are the main
