Lal Kitab related information

[Guest guest]

Pt Roop Chand Joshi (1898 – 1982) is the originator of the Lal Kitab

system. He acquired this knowledge in his dreams when he was in his

early twenties. He brought this knowledge to the general public by

publishing FIVE different volumes of Lal Kitab. All these volumes

were written in Urdu, the most popular language in Punjab at that

time. Contrary to dis-information spread by numerous parties (with

vested interest of selling their own versions or

offering " professional " advice) Lal Kitab was neither published in

Arabic or Farsi nor was it obtained from other sources. I have

personally challenged these people to show me the Arabic/Farsi

books. At that point, these " Daivgyas " and " Lal Kitab Doctors " stop

communicating with me.

 

The details of Lal Kitabs are as follows:

 

VOLUME YEAR DETAILS

====== ==== =======

I. 1939 Lal Kitab Ke Farmaan -- Comprehensive

introduction to Lal Kitab methodology; Astrology and Palmistry

 

II. 1940 Lal Kitab Ke Armaan -- As a companion to

Volume I; contains corrections, addendum and further explanation.

III. 1942 Lal Kitab - A " pocket book " of Lal Kitab

methodology; most of the text is in verse format.

IV. 1944 Lal Kitab - A detailed book exclusively on

palmistry based on Lal Kitab methodology.

V. 1952 Lal Kitab - Astrology based on Palmistry - the

most detailed Lal Kitab (1171 pages).

 

Other unpublished material - Panditji wrote vast amount of Lal Kitab

related material that remains unpublished.

 

Today, all the originally published books are rare to find and among

the most sought after collector's items.

 

Unauthorized, transliterated copies of Lal Kitab (in Hindi) are

available in the market place. The sad part is that all these

transliterations are awfully bad. Various lines have been left off,

words have been misread to cause the meaning of the sentence to

change completely and, the books have not been proofread at all.

Unauthorized photocopies of Lal Kitab (in Urdu) are available; I have

seen these ads in the past. I recommend that you get hold of those

from somewhere (probably Nai Sarak in Delhi) and study the system

from the original material. Most of the " Lal Kitab type " books

available in the market place are absolute garbage. This is due to

the fact that these authors have added their own interpretation and

utterly nonsensical remedial measures. I don't know what to recommend.

 

Numerous people have been pleading with Pt Som Dutt Joshi, (Pt Roop

Chand Joshi's son) to reprint the already published Lal Kitabs. He is

seriously thinking about re-publishing these books in the very near

future.

 

I don't know of any on-line material on this topic.

 

I'd like to hear from other members and at least a list of what books

they have. How are you learning the Lal Kitab method? It would be an

interesting survey. As time permits, I will continue to provide more

details. Thankfully, we also have Virender Joshi (grandson of Pt Roop

Chand Joshi) in our forum now. We can press him for some input.

 

Thanks.
