About the Book:- The special focus of this book is to make the
ardent readers aware of the salient features of this Vedic text on astrology
and how it is distinct from the other transcripts on the subject, available
thus far. Great concerted efforts were made to collect, collate and combine all
the available manuscripts and other related published material contributed by
the eminent contemporary writers and commentators and then the sequence of
subject matters is aligned to make it comprehensible and authentic. The name of
this holistic text is also as per the ancient statement and record, namely
‘Parasara Hora’. This book adduces certain critical and important features
which were never attempted before. This book in one hundred chapters falls in
line with the description or narration: “होरा
शताध्यायी सर्व
पाप विनाशिनी” verse as appeared in the Uttara
Khanda of the text collated by Shridhar. Amongst the other contemporary writers
of such treatise, Sitaram Jha, Devchandra Jha, Tarachand Shastri to name a few,
have formatted this text covering between 71 and 101 chapters, but in most of
the cases 20 odd chapters were not from ‘Hora Shastra’. These details are
available in the introductory note: ‘The specialties of this book’. This note
also minutely explains the deletion of inapt Shlokas, the addition of relevant
Shlokas and also some Shlokas have been rearranged purposefully so are the
chapters. Besides, the treatment of some of the subjects is so unique that will
fill the void for the readers to experience. These 20 odd supplementary
researched chapters culled out of the published and manuscript materials are
unavailable in any text of the Brihat Parasara Hora Shastra (BPHS) of the
present time. Trust with this value addition, the esteem readers will get
immensely benefited.
