Vedic Astrology (Jyotish)Archive for the 'Astrological Miscellany' CategoryApril 18th, 2008Typo corrected: compatibility matching help pageThanks, “Interested in Astrology”. I have corrected a typo as pointed out by you on the help page.
All, the page is horoscope-compatibility-matching-help. March 26th, 2008Reference Books in Vedic AstrologyI have updated the Vedic astrology reference book page with a small description of each book. I hope to keep this list current as and when I get new books on this subject. Update - This page of reference books will be phased out. I will be gradually moving it to this page. My primary language of learning astrology is Hindi and I tend to think in this language whenever I look at a horoscope. Therefore, I try to purchase books in Hindi and you would a lot of Hindi books here. English editions of these classics are available most of the time, from the same publisher, although editors and/or translators would be different. My opinion of these books should not be thought of as their review because one can not pass judgement on ones gurus and teachers. While reading any book on any subject, it is not just the subject matter that affects me. I get affected by the style of writing, lack or abundance of examples on the subject being presented, language and even a simple thing like typeset affects me and an opinion is formed. That said, even if the style of a teacher does not suit the student, the student still learns something and gains from the association. February 29th, 2008The Astrological MagazineMy subscription cheque for “The Astrological Magazine” has been returned with a note from them:
Cynics may find satire and irony in this statement, but its very sad indeed for the followers of this magazine. January 7th, 2006Happy New YearA very happy new year to all the Blog Readers. I was supposed to publish varshaphal on my blog, but personal and professional life is keeping me bit busy… I hope to do it soon. Shall let you folks know. November 9th, 2005Learning AstrologyFirst of all, this post is long overdue. I have been on personal leave practically for the entire month
 First, there was this looong Dussehra vacation and then parents visited us for Diwali. Anyway, things are back to normal now. I will not take long for the next post - I got hold of a compedium of planetary remedies. I am in the process of presenting the shlokas mentioned in there in Devnagri script and will soon publish it on my blog.I was going through a website http://www.vedamu.org/Vedas/Jyotisa/Vedanga.asp and found that it has a very good collection of really old books on Astrology. Someone has done a wonderful job of scanning each and every page of books and posted them on this website. Most important for me, all these books are in Hindi… There are a few books in Telugu as well.
For people who wish to learn Astrology, I suggest them to go through two e-books -
I have not gone through these books fully yet, as both of them are over 800 pages. But a cursory glance told me that there is a lot of promise. For the people in Bangalore, there is going to be a book festival at Palace Grounds in Mekhri Circle from Nov 11th to 20th. Last year, there were some good stalls which had Astrology books. I am looking forward to visiting the book fair this year. |
