Some well structured study materials in Jyotish (Indian Astrology)

[Guest guest]

Dear friends,

 

 

A good number of times we came across the problem of finding well structured

study materials in Jyotish covering all the basic areas of the subject as

covered in the Brihat Parasara Hora Shastra or Jaimini Sutram.

 

In my humble opinion I find the two volume compendium of 'How to Judge

Horoscopes' by late illustrious Dr. BV Raman very useful with quite a good

number of examples.

 

 

Similar good books having well structured materials in jyotish with sufficient

number of horoscope examples covering some specific areas of life I had came

across so far I am sharing for benefit of the beginners;

 

Widowhood- by Mrs. Mridula Trivedi and Mr. TP Trivedi

Marriage (two volumes book in English)

Vivaha Sukh in Hindi)- by the same authors

Children ( Santan Sukh in Hindi)-by the same authors

 

Astrology of Profession- Shree K K Pathak are very good books on profession and

surpasses the standard and quality of all other books available on the subject

as on today

 

Sade Sati- by Shree K N Rao

 

Kal Sarp Yog- by Shree KN Rao

 

Astrology of healings through gems- by Shri N N Saha

 

Medical Astrology -by Jagannath Rao

 

For students interested in use of star and sub-lord level dispositors and

depositors the books-

 

'Astrologics of Kalchakra' -by Shree KB Bhaskaran

'Applications of cuspal interlinks'- by the same author

'Principles of cuspal interlinks' by the same author

 

Except his special preference for Placidus system of house division and usage of

Western systems of aspects- writings of Bhaskran deserve readings for thier

originality of concept and its development.

 

He intellligently blends the concept of 'Khara Taradhipati' i.e. the lord of

64th constellation into stellar astrology without openly declaring so.

 

Other books on stellar astrology in my humble experience I personally did not

find of having that level of original contributions to Jyotish.

 

By the way beginners and intermediate level students may find the book

'Integrated Approach to Vedic Astrology' by Shree PVR Narashima Rao and 'Crux of

Vedic Astrology' by Shree Sanjay Rath to get enough hints about the possible

areas of expansion of the relams of Jyotish and its usage along with an ovarll

picture on the subject.

 

Hope more and more well structured jyotish study materials supported by original

works would come forward in the future.

 

With regards and best wishes,
