Guest guest Posted January 31, 2004 Report Share Posted January 31, 2004 Dear Curt I am a beginner to Jyotish and recently bought some books from India. I also have books by Levacy, Svoboda, De Fouw, but the following books from Indian origin offers a different perspective...... 1. How to Judge Horoscopes - Volume - I by B. V. Raman 2. How to Judge Horoscopes - Volume - II by B. V. Raman This series is written by the Father of modern Vedic Astrology - It covers all the houses in great detail, together with very nice descriptions of planets in houses and lords in houses. There are also many many examples to illustrate the various points 3. Crux of Vedic Astrology by Sanjay Rath This book is written by owner of one of the largest vedic astrology forums. This book is well written with lots of examples illustrating unusual situations and life areas for each house/sign. This book however does appeal to the intermediate student which incorporate some advanced concepts. I purchased these books by reliable bookseller, who is fast and efficient. Shiv Chanda from Manorama Occult books in Delhi. His contact details.....Email Manoramaoccult Book store http://www.vedicweb.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=MA& Product_Code=MACha1 Hope this helps. I have really enjoyed other books by BV Raman....Notable Horoscopes, and Three Hundred Important combinations. All the Best Bipin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 31, 2004 Report Share Posted January 31, 2004 Thank you very much I have Raman, but not How to Judge Horoscopes. I think his ayanamsha works best for me. I would think though that a great astrologer would have taken the time to sort out the yogas in some sort of order in 300 Combinations, great book but very hard to utilize. Sanjay Rath I have him also, wow can I understand him? Crux of Vedic Astrology lays the foundation for some of its principles, but the rest it is assumed that the reader already knows advanced concepts; just wish he would have taken some time (it wouldn't have taken much) to explain the other concepts he uses. A book can be "great" but if it is basically unreadable what good really is it? Of course in the good old simple USA here we have to be explained everything. If we can't shoot it, bomb it, or buy it out; we have to be taught real slow like,....you know. Does anyone have any comments on cultural differences/impasses between Indian jyotishis and the American practitioners that either help or hinder understanding?

Guest guest Posted February 4, 2004 Report Share Posted February 4, 2004 Greetings Dale, Speaking for Self is always a good idea, but with 900+ of us, it's likely that Curtis speaks for at least a handful of others (like me, I thought it was funny and at least 51% right). And even if only speaking for 1, a variety of opinions are always good. I agree that this is no place for politics - IF the politics ran on for pages. But a one-liner? Aren't we getting just a little "Farenheit 451"? (sp?) Hoping for more is good, but we are all human and bound to disappoint you. It is a good list though, and 'welcome'! --- szlnscorp wrote: > In a message dated 2/2/2004 7:33:26 PM Central > Standard Time, > curtisburns writes: > > Of course in the good old simple USA here we have > to be explained > everything.

No, i'm not going 451; didn't think was amusing or appropriate, and addressed accordingly...I doubt that I'm only one shares my opinion as well, and as you correctly stated, "variety of opinions".. Enough on that matter... Yes, seems like a wonderful group:. Just out of curiosity, anyone started running candidates election day charts yet?
