Biodata of Instructor:

Since 1972, Stephen Quong (Umananda) has travelled extensively throughout India, Nepal, and Sri Lanka, meeting and studying with many of the greatest masters of Vedic Astrology and Palmistry. In addition, he has been closely associated with many highly respected spiritual teachers, whose guidance, blessings and personal example have been a major influence in his life and work.

Stephen is one of a very few Americans honored by the Indian Council on Astrological Sciences with the titles of Jyotisha Kovida, Jyotisha Vachaspati, and Life Fellow, and is respected by astrologers and clients around the world for his expertise in Vedic Astrology. Upon meeting him in 1993, K.N. Rao, then director of the largest astrology school in India, told a client, "Go see Stephen Quong. He is the best Vedic Astrologer in America."

Before resuming a full-time astrology practice in 1991, Stephen worked as a Financial Consultant for the international investment company Dean Witter Reynolds (1987-91), as a public policy and budget analyst for the County government of Santa Cruz, California (1982-87), in the administration of the Chemistry Department of the University of California at Berkeley (1978-82), and as the head of the Editorial Department for Summit Press, a publisher of books on spiritual topics (1977-78). His extensive experience and expertise in the fields of business, finance, marketing, executive management, politics, publishing, and law, are a unique complement to his spiritual interests and pursuits, and add a special dimension to his astrological consultations.

In late 2000, Stephen was invited to be a Founding Member of the Planetary Gemologist Association (Bangkok, Thailand) and is also a certified Planetary Gem Advisor.

Stephen’s international clientele includes prominent spiritual teachers, healers, political leaders, business executives, portfolio managers, attorneys, scientists, doctors, psychologists, musicians, artists, and writers. People from all walks of life are welcome as clients. Please read the Unsolicited Client Testimonials for a sample of responses to his work.
