The nonlinear singular system of polytrophic spheres of the Lane-Emden type arising in astrophysics is solved by Optimal Homotopy Asmptotic Method (OHAM). Our procedure is combined with a rational expression which depends on the OHAM solution. The results obtained through our approximate analytical approach are compared with numerical results and a very good accuracy is emphasized.
