Pandit Bal Krishna Shastri learned astrology and traditional priestly practice from his elder brother, who served as a pandit in Gujarat. He did not study astrology at a formal institution in Gujarat; his knowledge developed through the family guru-shishya tradition, self-study and many years of practice.
After beginning the study and practice of astrology around 2000, he formally began offering priestly services in 2003. He has been associated with Durga Mata Mandir at Survey Chowk, Dehradun since 2005 and currently serves as its Chief Priest.
