Guest guest Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 Dear members, I am giving u a link to a site of a few rare books some r the first of its kind, the author/translator who had donated all his works to Sivananda ashram so is less known to the astrological community, but BV Raman ji has acknowledged some of this work in the AM's. NNK has done these works in late 50's, subsequent translators came in mid 80's, GK Sharma is the latest and also a good work. if NNK had first sold the books in the market then declared the royalty to the ashram may have helped both the works being spread and also some funds to the ashram. What the family said was even this releases were v expensive 10,000 copies had to be donated free to all libraries accross India in 3 sets, this is the fate of any publisher too. and all these are cyclestyled, if printed would have been prohibitive for anyone with no commercial plans UK Iyer is NNK's son who has been generous enough to release the same in the e-wrold. PL CLICK ON THE LINK at the bottom of the mail. enjoy some real treasure troves. below may be repetative as it was sent to some ppl privately. the author late NNK was the 1st to do these works way back in late 50's, r santhanam has met and discussed the same with UK Iyer in 1973 and RS took the job during 83 onwards so what u said is common sense is what he has not applied but NNK has already done, anyone could have improved upon it inst it, as later days same dasa, kala, patra has also undergone a lot of changes say between 1958 to 1983 at least. and RS works is what most astro s/w r using when u generate a report and say u will have horses, elephants for transport looks odd for any reader such substitutions should have been done by the s/w providers at least. it makes astrology looks RIP VAN WINKLE in such presentations but please take a look at these there r many other good works esp Missing links in Hindu astrology a collection of 12 books BPHS vol 2 has more detailed dasa, bukthi analysis Kerala suthras, nakshatra and tithi phala Brigu Sutras etc. Hi Prashant, Good seeing you after such a long time.
