Dear Abhi,

 

I maintain a list of Jyotisha books as my own personal reading list.

 

B V Raman books are available practical everywhere - but the rest of these is

tough to source. Classics textbooks is an uphill task - but exciting to source.

BPHS is quite easy to get - but the rest!!.

 

In Chennai - Motilal Banarsidass has store in Mylapore (2 mins walk from Luz).

Even better is Giri Trading in Chennai (in Mylapore opp the tank) Giri Trading

would be recommended because of the facilities and selection. Giri Trading has

stores in other major cities as well. http://www.giritrading.com/

 

www.vedicbooks.net is a good source for ordering books online and having them

shipped to an address in India or the US. Books are actually economically priced

and shipping and handling is not bad either.

 

Lots of such online websites.

 

With best wishes

Shrikanth
