Dear Jyotisha

The contents of the book Jyotish Fudamentals is given below. This is a fine book

for basics and middle level jyotisa and gives out various principles and methods

that have been a part of the oral tradition of Orissa. Visti Larsen has been a

good student of mine and is a Jyotish Guru who understands the working of

Jyotish an is able to explain its principles in simple and straight steps. All

SJC students would benefit immensely from this maiden venture of Sagittarius

Publications. If you have any queries, please address then to me and do send

your best wishes to Visti directly (avoid the lists).

 

The page numbers indicated are different in the actual publication.
