Books and learning -- Tanvir, RR, Tatvam-Asi

[Guest guest]

Hi,

Can you all suggest some good books on Vedic Astrology it would be very

helpful to me. Regarding learning vedic astrology if the members here can

share about the ways in which they have learnt, or any procedure they follow

to learn. I would be very greatful.

regards

Rajesh Vaswani

Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra, translated by G.C Sharma, Sagar

Publication -- one of the best translations. Several other versions,

including free internet versions exist which may or may not be fine

or legal for that matter (karma!)

 

Laghu Parashari Madhya Parashari by Sareen

 

Uttarkalamrita translated by PS Shastri

 

Phaladeepika, trans Sareen

 

More than books or magazine subscriptions, invest in a good

database. The best currently available (though expensive) would be

astrodatabank containing 27000+ charts. There are also other

collections Taeger for instance that might be available. Other

sources -- explore.

 

Quite frankly, what I have seen in published literature is valuable

but most of the books come with limited data, limited

interpretations and they move too quickly from chart to chart. Books

like Raman's notable horoscopes and Behari's similar compendium or

Tyl's book as well as Margaret Millard's book of charts are useful

study material. Even though the latter are western astrology-based,

you will find better data quality and details in the non-indian

books, in general. You can then use the data to figure out the

jyotish aspect of it.

 

Jyotish, regardless of what "schools" and gurus would want to

impress upon you, can work with not too extensive a rule-set. Mind

you, this will not make you 100% accurate or a trikalagya

(regardless of what some of the newer (50 years or less!) schools

claim but never demonstrate transparently in a cold reading, blind

setting, or go silent when challenged to respond!), but will give

you enough to keep you going and then your personal effort does the

rest.

To start with, "An Integrated Approach to Vedic

Astrology" by PVR Narashima Rao Ji is a good one. Then

you can move to B.V. Raman's How to Judge Horoscopes

(vol I and II).

 

No doubt, BPHS is an excellent reference for anybody

who is learning this divine science.
