Respected Pandit Arjun ji,

 

I know that you are a great traditionalist, an authority on

Rudraksha and something not many people know that you

are also a very knowledgeable scholar of Tantra Shastra.

 

Therefore with all humility at my command I would like

to put forth my views on two of your observations about

the Lal Kitab.

 

Firstly, The method of casting a horoscope is absolutely the

same as of the traditional astrology. Since the Lal Kitab

system is based on the Bhav and not so much on Rasi it

suggests that the houses be numbered all over again starting

with Lagna as number one. One may not change the rasi to

numbers so long as he knows that it is the Bhav which should

have precedence over the rasi. Analyzing the results of

planetary placements are also very similar to that of our

traditional astrology.

 

Secondly, burying Gur near a cemetery and bringing home

the water from a cemetery are traditional folk remedies

which have been prevalent amongst the Indian communities

for ages. Lal Kitab has incorporated some of these folk

practices as upaya for specific astrological purposes.

Incorporating folk beliefs, rituals or remedies into its fold

does not make the Lal Kitab any less traditional in its origins.

As a matter of fact by doing so the Lal Kitab gets all the more

close to the people it is supposed to serve.

 

For those who might be interested in knowing more about

the Lal Kitab I am posting below a small write up, by

Pt. Bhooshan Priya ji, which appeared in one of his groups.

 

With great respect and regards,

 

S P Khurana

 

 

A write up on Lal Kitab by Pt. Bhooshan Priya ji

 

 

Question 1. What is the basis of the Lal Kitab?

 

There are quite a few astrology paddhatis prevalent in India today, they are all either elaborations or modifications upon the traditionally accepted Vedic astrology. Across all these paddhatis the basic parameters are the same . They differ either in approach or emphasis , the aim being the same in all cases.

 

Lal Kitab also draws its basics from the Vedic astrology , but it

differs in approach or what the book calls grammar ; and the

emphasis is not so much on predicting the future as on

solving the problem of today , hence the importance of Upaya.

The very first page of the book states the two purposes the

Lal Kitab is meant for : (a ) to help remove the blockage in

the flow of fortune's water and ( b ) to help erect

an obstacle in the path of adversity thus saving the native from

misery .

 

Therefore I believe that the Lal Kitab is as much a part

of tradition as any other paddhati .

 

Q.2 When and how it came into existance ?

 

There are FIVE separate publications with varying length :

1939 ed of 383 pages, 1940ed of 284 pages;1941 ed of 428 pages, 1942ed of 384 pages and finally the1952ed of 1173 pages.

Surprisingly the name of the author has not been mentioned

in any of these editions , instead they carry the name of the

publisher , shri Girdhari Lal Sharma and his photograph.

If it were an original work by any author, he definitely

would have got his name on it.

There are so many myths and legends about this book that it

is really very difficult to sieve out the facts. These myths seem

to have been woven around the book to make it look divine or some thing out of this world. Let me take them up one by one.

 

{ a ) that the book was written by Pt. Roop Chand Joshi.

Some people , specially from Punjab ,

believe that the Lal Kitab was written , as an original work,

by Pt. Roop Chand Joshi and he did not put his name as an

author because he was in Government service under the British.

I do not understand why Joshi ji could not have put his name as an author.

The British might have been against writing seditious material but not a book on astrology . Even if that being true he could have used his name in the 1952 edition , there were no British then nor he was in service any longer. Pt. Roop Chand Joshi was a very honest and a saintly person, he couldn’t have claimed something that was never his.

 

{ b }that the book was revealed in a dream .

Never heard of dreams in installments and that too spreading

over a period of twelve years. Because that is what alone

could justify five publications spread over a period of 12 or 13 years.

Not many takers for this fiction.

 

{ c } that the book was received as an ilham , kind of through

a revelation, thus adding mystical sanctity to the book. If that were

true the Lal Kitab would be the second book in human history to be revealed to the mankind , the first being the Quran. This was an

effort to make it appear as sacrosanct so that there

could be no criticism or scientific evaluation of the book.

This belief has done more harm than good to the book.

Well no body with a scientific frame of mind is going to

believe that story either.

 

{ d } that this book was written by Arun the charioteer of Sun

god. Later Ravan took it away to Lanka and from there it

reached the middle east. It traveled back to India. This was an

effort to get the book into the Samhita ranks , like other

astrological samhitas in the name of rishis ,while at the same

time trying to justify the use of urdu and persian words.

Not many people believe that either.

 

 

The fact is very simple : this is a book of astrology and that

it was first published in 1939 by shri Girdhari Lal Sharma

All subsequent publications are elaborations / explanations

of the original. Every thing else about the book is irrelevant.

All these books are available with some individuals or in the

libraries.

 

 

Summarizing, all these stories about the book have been woven

around by Lal Kitab semi-literates to hide their incompetence and

instill in the minds of their clients an awe and reverence for the book. Reverence or faith in any system is built on its efficiency rather than through such non-scientific humbug of trying to make the book appear as divine. Therefore I believe that this book is a documentation of the then prevalent thoughts and beliefs in the Northern Hills of India.

 

 

Q.3 Which Vedic parampara it comes from ?

 

Of course from the same parampara { tradition } as

many other classics of Indian astrology have come from.

You have to bear in mind that this book is a result of

collective wisdom of a society which had lived in

isolation of the northern hills for centuries . This

tradition is still in use all the way from Kashmir to the

Garhwal hills of Uttaranchal. In the Punjab it came to be known

as Lal kitab , because of its first documentation appeared in the

red binding,

As the societies living in isolation grow their own idiom ,

culture and points of references , similarly this tradition of

astrology had also developed its own idiom and grammar.

But the difference of idiom or the grammar does not make

it come from any other parampara { tradition } . You know the growth of Indo-European languages.

 

Q 4 . Lal Kitab in the context of traditional Vedic Parampara?

 

Whether a text is in the Vedic tradition or not will largely

depend on how we interpret the word Vedic and what all

is included in the word vedic.

 

Generally people think that vedic means ancient or of

vedic kal â€" times of the veda. That is not true. Even some

thing contemporary, of today, can be Vedic in its spirit.

Therefore the word vedic represents far more and far beyond

than the word is taken to mean. Those who think that vedic

means of veda or some thing that had been written in sanskrit

are taking a very myopic view of the word.

 

The word ‘vedic’ is to be understood in the Indian context.

Therefore any thing dealing with India, and Indian values,

ethos, psyche, traditions, belief systems, and the entire

gambit of indian-ness would be included in the word Vedic.

 

Evaluating the Lal Kitab on these premises it would be

evident that the Lal Kitab is very Indian and very often

insists and instructs people to follow a very pious traditional

way of life. No other book on astrology lays such a great

emphasis on the piety of life as does the Lal Kitab. Very

often the book instructs not to drink, eat meat, tell lies, give

false evidence etc and emphasizes on caring for the parents,

elderly, young girls, loving ones brothers and sisters. Even

goes on to insist on having good relationship with

sasural [ in-laws ]. Not only human being, the Lal Kitab

is filled with compassion for nature be it trees [ peepal, neem etc] ,

animals [ cow, serpent etc ] or insects [ bhuri chinti, ants ]

 

If all that above is not Indian or part of the centuries old Indian

way of life, then what else it is.

 

Therefore I consider that the Lal Kitab is very much a part of

the Vedic tradition and values followed in India for centuries.

 

I have not been able to find even a single instance in the

Lal Kitab, that could suggest that the book is not Indian in

terms of its content or form.

 

If some one thinks that a few urdu words here and there

might mean foreign influence he is grossly mistaken. Urdu

was a language of the literate in Punjab. Knowledge of this

language never meant a foreign influence.

 

In his life time Pt Roopchand ji never claimed that Lal Kitab

is a different system of astrology. He never claimed to have

invented a new system. He never claimed that Lal Kitab is

not a part of traditional Vedic astrology. He never intended

the Lal Kitab to be treated as different from Vedic astrology.

After all, the book was meant for the astrologers of the day

and common men alike. In the early 40s every astrologer who

might have read these books would have belonged to the

traditional Vedic astrology.

 

Therefore the Lal Kitab is downright Indian, upholding age

old Indian values and traditions and therefore VEDIC.

dear khuranaji

 

thanks for your good words and you may appreciate that i have been

consistently praising the remedies of lalkitab since several years in

all groups and have appreciated the sound reasoning and logic of

their correlation with the planets. the jyotish shastras written by

sages were more of worshipping dieties whereas shri roopchandji was

focusing more on the easy doability of a common man within his or her

reach.

 

anyway, since i liked the lalkitab remedies practical and

resultoriented with proven case evidence from my own customers, i

restrict to praising the remedial part of the lalkitab.

 

with best wishes and blessings

Dear Arjun ji, //> however, the very basic structure of casting a horoscope and deriving > the results of planets and placements, is contrary and alien to vedic > astrology. // I don't think so - can you clarify further? //> lalkitab also contain remedies like offering gud in a cemetery to > ghosts and bringing water from inside a cemetery etc. which are not > vedic in anyway.// Astrology itself is NOT Vedic but NON-Vedic; then why worry about this? For the ancient Agama tradition Pitirs are more important and revered (at times more than devas). It is good to follow the advice of elders and forefathers than than a god who won't utter a word; God speaks from human heart - it is words of our forefathers that guides us in the divine path; they should be revered. Smasana worship is part of the Agama Tantic Tradition - for example look at the Aghora Tantric stream of worship and knowledge.//> hence lalkitab shall not be treated as a vedic system of astrology. // Nirayana astrology is NOT AT ALL Vedic and so don't worry about this at all. Both Lal Kitab astrology and the astrology we practice today is non-vedic in nature. Vedic astrology is Tropical astrology coupled with the use of fixed stellar zodiac - we don't use/practice this system today. //> but i keep praising many of its simple remedies like feeding > respective birds and animals of planets and offering food objects or > materials of planets to mollify various planets, for these remedies > are highly efficacious.// May be this statement comes from not understanding Lal Kitab system of astrology in depth. I agree that the too much importance given to remedies is mis-guiding; it mis-guides us from the true essence of Lal Kitab system. I request you to please go though the writings of Pt. Krishan Ashant ji on Lal Kitab system.
