Guest guest Posted November 18, 2007 Report Share Posted November 18, 2007 Dear Sreenadh, This is a good news that these books are still available. May be someone can get in touch with Dr. Shastri to find out where he got the originals. Btw, who is the publisher?

Guest guest Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 Dear Sarajit ji, Now I am in office. I don't remember who the publisher is, but remember that it was some publisher from Varanasi or so - not that popular. But the books are available in 'Ranjan Publishers', Ansari Raod, Delhi as well. You can write to them and get the books, or ask someone to get it from there and sent it to you. By the way I have contacted 'Dr. Girija Sankar Sastri' ji by phone, and he may join this group as well. He is a very good Sanskrit scholar and a very knowledgeable individual. ==> > May be someone can get in touch with Dr. Shastri to find out where > he got the originals. <== Since Sastri ji is Sanskrit department head of Alahabad University, I think possibly the originals he might have got from there itself. I will contact him to get more details about the same. Me too has many old texts and quotes with me from ancient Rishi Horas. May be good cooperation between the scholars from various parts of India, can contribute much to the cause of astrology.
