The seventh edition of Muhurtha went out of print more than a year ago. Due to my preoccupations with other activities, the eighth edition could not be brought out earlier.

The edition now presented herewith has been thoroughly revised and at several places entirely re-written with addition of examples for calculating Thithi, Yoga, etc.

Much useful information of practical importance has been included in the chapter on Marriage. Two “Tables” of immediate importance, viz., Table for judging yoni kuta or sex-compatibility and the Table for rating the total number of units of agreement for marriage will be found to be of great value to students and practitioners of astrology.

It is hoped that readers will extend to this edition the same enthusiastic reception that they have always done to my other books

There have been many books in recent years on astrology but most of them deal with predictive astrology proper. Muhurtha or Electional Astrology, whilst no doubt an important adjunct to horoscopy, has got its own distinct place in the general scheme of astrological literature. There is perhaps no human activity in the modern times that does not seek the aid of Muhurtha. The justification of this book is therefore that it tries to show that astrology encourages human effort by asking a man to do the right thing at the right moment.

The aim of the book is to present to the reader in a concise form all the essential principles of Muhurtha, so that he could make use of them in all walks of life. A vast literature is extant in Sanskrit on this subject. I have only endeavoured to present in these pages the essential principles culled out from standard works. Where differences were noticeable between two standard works. I have advanced my own views the justification being my humble experience in this line extending over nearly 35 years during which time I have dealt with hundreds of election charts touching almost all human activities. The reader is at liberty to reject my opinions if he feels they do not merit his acceptance.

The aim of astrology is to dispel the fear of the unknown and to give scope for the free play of effort. And Muhurtha just supplies this want. This treatise is by no means complete. The subject is vast. Yet I have gathered information from many acknowledged sources which, I am sure, will be found to be of the greatest use to the modern man so that instead of merely passing through the formality of astrological consultation, by entrusting the election of a Muhurtha to quacks and montebanks, he may be enabled to so time his activities as to move in harmony with the laws of nature.
