![]() The “Parasari vs Jaimini” distinction is based on unfortunate misconceptions that we can do away with. However, all these concepts were covered by Parasara also (please read “Brihat Parasara Hora Sastram”). People even use terms like “Jaimini karakas” and “Jaimini dasas”. When we talk about arudha padas, argalas, chara karakas, chara dasa and other rasi dasas, people think f them as “Jaimini astrology”. Unfortunately, some people think today that Parasara and Jaimini taught two totally different approaches to astrology. Understanding the primacy Parasara gave to all these concepts is a must for a renaissance in Veclic astrology. I have tried to give prominence to special ascendants, divisional charts and arudhas, because contemporary literature doesn’t seem to give them the kind of importance that Sage Parasara gave. In this book, I have covered divisional charts, special ascendants, arudhas, argalas, yogas, ashtakavarga, avasthas, a few nakshatra dasas, a few rasi dasas, several techniques of transit analysis, Tajaka analysis and a few miscellaneous topics. Nevertheless, I wanted, like a parrot that enthusiastically repeats the few words learnt by it, to share with fellow students the little knowledge I received from classics and from my gurus. Even if another book is needed, there are many erudite scholars who are better equipped than me to write. Raman and the efforts of other Indian astrologers to follow him, today we ye a fair amount of Jyotish literature in English language too.Ĭonsidering the wealth of Vedic astrology literature in Sanskrit and English, another book may not really be needed. Thanks to the yeoman service rendered by Dr. There are many excellent books on Jyotish written in Sanskrit language by great Maharshis and brilliant scholars.
