About the Book:-
The book is
intended to fulfill three objects, firstly to furnish in one place the
horoscopes having an important bearing on the multifarious fields of activity
of man, so that the reader has the basic material before him for his own
independent studies and research in astrology, secondly to present to the
reader, for his study as many practical problems and activities of man as is
feasible and thirdly to offer to the readers, for their guidance, detailed
comments in regard to the astrological justification of the problems and
activities so listed. (2) In offering our comments we have endeavored in this
book to stick throughout, to a logical approach of "how and why" to
all problems discussed therein. Besides we have adhered as fully as possible to
the well recognized principles of the science of astrology as advocated by such
savants as the authors of Parashar Hora Shastra, Saravali, Jatak Parijat,
Brihat Jatak, Uttar Kalamrit, Phaldeepika, Sarvarth Chintamani etc. etc.. These
authors have been quoted by us wherever necessary. (3) The subject matter of
the book is fairly exhaustive and is not confined to the headings given in the
chapter dealing with "contents". Even though a horoscope has been
dealt with only under one heading such as "abdication" etc., the
prominent events of the famous nativity involved have also been commented upon
in detail. Hence in order to have a better idea of the contents of this book,
it would be advisable to consult the index which not only gives the names of
prominent persons whose nativities have been discussed in the book, but also
many matters of daily practical interest. (4) In short the idea has been to
help students in a practical way in the art of divination of horoscopes.
