For years, Baranagar, situated on the banks of the holy river Ganges, has been renowned as a seat of spiritual culture. This sacred locale has long attracted great philosophers, saints, and seekers who came to meditate and pursue divine enlightenment. Among them were luminaries like Thakur Ramkrishna Paramhansadev, Swami Vivekananda, and Swami Shibananda Saraswati Yogacharya, who cherished their time in this spiritually enriched environment, where the gentle breeze from the Ganges carries the essence of spiritualism.

In addition to its spiritual heritage, Baranagar also cultivated a deep tradition in astrology and its allied disciplines over the years. Astrologers of the time engaged in mutual discussions and private seminars, but these gatherings remained unstructured and individual efforts rather than organized movements.

At this juncture, Pandit Moloy Shastri took the visionary initiative to unite these astrologers under an organized framework. His efforts led to the formation of the World Astrological Society, which was officially registered on January 11, 2000, marking the dawn of the 21st century. The Society's headquarters was established at 5/F, Shyamacharan Maitra Lane, Baranagar, Kolkata.

Pandit Moloy Shastri, the founder and first President of the Society, remains the primary source of inspiration for its members. His profound knowledge, extensive experience, and unwavering guidance have been instrumental in the Society's growth and its achievements to date.
