Library of Astrology

[Guest guest]

Despite all my efforts to find something about Sri Irangati Rangacharya

and his books, I have come to a naught. I even wrote to Sri Narasimha

personally but drew a blank.

This has set me thinking that many of our Astrology classics written or

commented by eminent Scholars are being lost. Many publishers do not

get enough money selling Astrology books especially that goes in depth

to help us understand. I have recently found books by Sri Subramanya

Sastri written in 1920s and 1940s with the help of Sri M. Ramakrishna

Bhat. I also found a book called "Chappana" orginally written by

illustrious son of Varahamihira and commented by Sri B. Suryanarian

Rao. Even finding these books were by a stroke of luck.

I am sure there would be many classical works with other people. Why

don't we all pool our books together to make a library of Astrology,

that will make photocopies of non available books to those who may want

it? This will preserve some excellent books and make it a central

repository. We can invite books in different languages to be translated

into English.

This is just an idea and it can only be done if everyone is willing to share.

I invite your ideas and thoughts.

Thanks and Regards
