Preface
Indian Astrology is an ancient Divine Science. It was first Trevealed by Lend Brahma to Surya Des, who then taught it to Trikaldarshi (omniscient) Maharishis. Their disciples recorded the details in Sanskrit language, then common parlance, for the benefit of posterity. During the long intervening period and foreign invasions some portions of the original treatises were damaged or mutilated which is evident from the variance found in the texts brought out by different publishers. The intricacy of Sanskrit language also caused some variance during translation from Sanskrit to other languages. The author initially faced some difficulty while learning the subject, as different authors highlighted different aspects in their books. After sifting the fundamental rules, the author first tested these in the horoscope of himself and near and dear ones whose life events were known to him. On gaining confidence he applied these rules in a large number of cases and achieved proficiency. During the last seven years, the author has also contributed to nearly ninety articles on different facets of human life, both in English and Hindi, in leading astrological magazines, like The Astrological Magazine, and Modern Astrology published from Bangalore; Star Teller from Chennai, Times of Astrology (English and Hindi), and BABAJI (English and Hindi) published from New Delhi. Thus the author has been deeply associated with astrology for over 12 years. The book comprises 14 Chapters. As correct and detailed horoscopes can now be easily prepared on computer, the author has straightaway started with the elaboration of the basic concepts. The contents of the book have been presented in a lucid manner so as to maintain interest and inquisitiveness. The Chapters (1) Prolining Your Fatire through Astrology Rationale of Exaltation of Planets, (2) l'aner Charts, (3) Shadabrala, and (4) Retrograde Planets are important as their contents are not available in any book in such detail. The Chapters (1) Inter-relationship of Signs, Bhans and Planets, (2) Lucky Births, and (3) Horoscopic Evaluation at First Glance, demonstrate practical application of the rules stated in the book. Liberal use of example horoscopes has been made to facilitate assimilation of the subject. The author most respectfully dedicates the book to his preceptor and mentor late Shri O.P. Sharma, M.A., former DIG Police, and a profound astrologer, and his wife late Smt. Manju Sharma, M.A., who continue to inspire the author through their benign blessings. The author is grateful to Mr. Udyan Sharma and his wife Mrs. Ritu Sharma, and his own daughter Mrs. Renu Singh, who have been constantly prompting for early completion of the book. The author also expresses his sincere thanks to the publisher for bringing out the book in decent form in the shortest possible time. The author hopes that this humble attempt based on serious study and practice of Astrology for over 12 years will prove a handy compendium to those interested in learning astrology, and will also get the approbation of learned scholars of this Divine Science. Any suggestions for improvement are welcome.
