Guest guest Posted February 18, 2001 Report Share Posted February 18, 2001 Dear List Members, my book, Vault of the Heavens, Treatise on Vedic Astrology is now available at bookstores. It is normal policy for bookstores to order books that you may want to examine without any commitment to buy it, unless of course you like it, so if you are interested or curious about Vault of the Heavens, I urge you to go to your bookstore and order a copy for examination. Tell your bookstore that it is available through New Leaf Distributors, ISBN# 0-9709636-0-2 Best Regards,Ernst Wilhelmwww.vedic astrology.net Here are what a few people have said about Vault of the Heavens: "Last night I gave your book to my friend who is leaving town and he called me at 10:30 at night to say how happy he was to have it. He said there is so much stuff in there that he's never seen. He has all my books and has gone thru a lot of the ones I own, but he really likes yours. Good job!" -James Braha, Author of Ancient Hindu Astrologer for the Modern Western Astrolger. "I really like it and it is well organized for students." Dennis Harness, ACVA President. Your book is the only modern source where I have found info. on what astrological factors outweigh what other astrological factors. So often in readings when something can go either way from the obvious indicators it's so hard to know what to do. I'm so glad you cover that in your book so much. I LOVE that. - Carol Allen, Brentwood School of Vedic Astrology "Anything you write is sure to be clear and informative." Dr. K.S.

His book is the most comprehensive and thorough I have ever seen. Whether covering the basics such as the meanings of planets, houses, and signs, or more advanced topics such as special yogas like Subha and Asubha yogas , this book gives more data per subject than any other--sighting, for example, thirteen ways a planet can have cancellation of debilitation (and rating the most powerful and least powerful of the thirteen!) and explains why seemingly incidental details like if a sign rises with its head or its tail actually matters! Wilhelm sources solely from the great classics of Vedic Astrology: Brihat jataka, Jataka Parijata, and Brihat Parashara combining astrological philosophy and mythical background with the everyday applications of the ancient rules of this science to make these and other heady, intimidating works come to life in a powerfully relevant way for the modern astrologer advising modern clients. This book is a must in the library of any student of Hindu astrology, from the beginner to the seasoned practitioner. -Review by Carol Allen, professional astrologer and coordinator of The Brentwood School of Vedic Astrology.
