This is a wonderful textbook on Vedic Astrology, which is used in the curriculum of the Bharatya Vidya Bhavan Astrological Institute (New Delhi). The book is unique in its kind, as it does not repeat the information presented in other textbooks on the basics of Jyotish. The book will introduce you to each of the sections of astrology: Skandha Traya or Hora (astrology of the individual), Ganita (mathematics) and Samhita (astrology of societies). Moreover, even an advanced astrologer will find in it a lot of interesting and practical information on Muhurta, Panchanga, astrometeorology, a deeper analysis of the compatibility of horoscopes and marriage, Mangala dosha, predicting the birth of children. This textbook is imbued with Indian culture and philosophy and is read with great interest and pleasure. You will learn the basic theory of Karma and see how fate and free will can coexist. The book is written in a very simple, understandable language and is very systematized for a wide range of readers, making it easier to understand this great science.
