This book was released on 2020-01-05 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the second edition of the originally published 'Vedic astronomy and astrology through science, wisdom and commonsense' by the author in 2014. This is the magnum opus of nearly ten years of my leisure-time research done on astrology and Vedic astronomy since 2011. Many topics of the first edition have been revised and rewritten. A new topic on the date of the Mahabharata war has been added.The book contains original and philosophical thoughts of the author on many topics in astrology and Vedic astronomy that have been understood wrongly and/or incompletely and /or not at all to date. The first chapter deals with how astrology works. This question has been bewildering to the both astrologers and non-astrologers. The author explains this issue in a novel and interesting way through Buddhism and science.In the second chapter issues related to Rahu-Ketu like the true vs. mean nodes, exaltation, debilitation and own signs, aspects etc. have been resolved.The confusion about tropical and sidereal astrology is addressed and sorted out in the third chapter.In the fourth chapter, the sidereal-seasonal year is explained. This term has been coined by the author.The 5th chapter is on the Ayanamsha, Chaturyuga and the beginning of Saka era. The reader will read in the sixth and seventh chapters that the Yuga concept of the Surya Siddhanta and the Aryabhatiya is one and the same, and it is not Kaliyuga at present. These thoughts are completely opposite to the current belief.The meaning of the Ayana Chalana verses of the Surya Siddhanta is explained in the chapter eight. It also describes the Vedic epochs, seasonal lunar/solar months and synodic lunar months. The Rashi based solar months are not Vedic. The extra months (Adhika Masa) and lost months (Kshaya Masa) as well as the ordinary months are not correctly named in the current calendar. This resulted in celebrating the Vesak festival on wrong dates in April month in 2018. The correct method is explained in chapter nine to avoid mishaps in the future.The chapter 10 on the date of the Mahabharata war is newly added. The correct date has been established beyond doubt. This question remained unanswered and guessed so far. The approach of the author to resolve this issue is unique. So far, researchers used the astronomical events to guess the date. The author discovers the date first and uses the discovered date to prove (sometimes inaccuracies of the translation) the astronomical events mentioned in the epic Mahabharata. The date of birth and the horoscope of Sri Krishna are also included in chapter 10. In the eleventh chapter, the theories behind the Saptarishis calendar and its uses in the past have been explained.The chapters 12 and 13, deal with purely astrological topics that have been incompletely understood so far (Graha Yuddha and Charakaraka system). The logical rules to find the winner of a planetary fight are explained in chapter 12. Why Matrukaraka and Pitrukaraka should be combined rather than the Matrukaraka and Putrakaraka is explained in chapter 13. One of the most interesting topics in the book is the one in chapter 14 dealing with the archaeological dates of the Gautama the Buddha. A novel (may be unscientific to many) approach has been taken to resolve the correct date. There are many curious things to read and think in this text for both the ordinary and expert readers in the subjects of astrology, astronomy and archaeoastronomy. Hope this text would pave a new path to the way how people look, think and act.
Download or read book Vedic Astronomy and Astrology Through Science Wisdom and Commonsense written by Sri Harsha Indrasena and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-03-24 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book consists of ten articles written on important but controversial topics in astrology and Vedic astronomy. The answers for the controversies have been sought through science, wisdom and commonsense. This is not a book for the beginners or advanced learners to study astrology because this is not a book teaching astrology. It is more suitable for the experts and researchers in astrology and Vedic astronomy to think differently on certain matters of present form of astrology and Vedic astronomy. The beginners and the others can also use the book to find the answer to controversial topics. The most of the topics that have been discussed in the book, such as sidereal vs. tropical zodiac, Chaturyuga, Graha Yuddha, true vs. mean Nodes etc., are ill or misunderstood even by the experts. All subject matter (except the diagrams) given in this book is original and based on my own studies and understanding. Although I have already published on certain topics of this book earlier in magazines like The Jyotish Digest and Saptarishis Astrology the majority of the articles are unpublished and revised. Readers cannot find the concepts discussed in this book by reading any other book written by other authors. It is my sincere hope that this book will provide core matter to the whole astrological community, both Vedic and non-Vedic, to find answers to hitherto unanswered hot topics in astrology. Readers will definitely find this book interesting and thought provoking.

This book was released on 2015-08-24 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first edition of the previously published 'Vedic astronomy and astrology through science, wisdom and commonsense' by the author in 2014. Many topics have been revised and rewritten. Several new topics have also been added. The book contains original and philosophical thoughts of the author on many topics in astrology and Vedic astronomy that are understood wrongly and/or incompletely so far. The first chapter deals with how astrology works and not. This question has been bewildering to the both astrologers and non-astrologers. The author explains this issue in a novel and interesting way through Buddhism and science. The other chapters also deal with the topics of similar nature. This includes tropical zodiac vs. sidereal zodiac and true vs. mean Rahu in astrology. These are hitherto unanswered questions. The author has unequivocally explained why tropical zodiac is not scientific and why it is the Mean Node that is to be followed for astrological purposes. The author also resolves the topic on Ayanamsha. The author has tested the new Ayanamsha in practice, and found to be accurate and safe. He points out many flaws in the current use of Vedic astronomy, including the uncertainties of the Saptarishis calendar and the existing Vedic calendar. Quoting from the ancient astronomical and astrological texts, he has pointed out where the things have gone wrong and how to rectify. The new principles, perhaps rediscovered by the author, on Graha Yuddha and Charakaraka scheme are worth exploring. One of the most interesting topics is the one at the end dealing with the archaeological dates of the Gautama the Buddha. He has endeavoured to take a novel (may be unscientific to many) approach to resolve the correct date. There are many curious things to read and think in this text for both ordinary and expert readers in the subjects of astrology, astronomy and archaeoastronomy. Hope this text would pave a new path to the way people look and think.

Download or read book Vedic Astrology The Light of Wisdom written by Ajay Srivastava and published by Self-Publication. This book was released on 2022-07-16 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Astrology is the study that everything that exists on earth has a meaningful purpose and we are not living in isolation in this universe. This knowledge is for those who want to understand the intricacies of human life. Serious astrology requires in-depth study of texts, scriptures, and some kind of intuition as predictions cannot be based only on mathematical calculations. Astrology believes that everything is controlled by celestial bodies otherwise predictions are completely impossible. This human body is part of existence and the movement of celestial bodies affects us. It is a science as well as art. Time is a great teacher, but it also throws dust on what is not prevalent or what we leave behind. Every now and then we need to hone our skills to stay sharp. Similarly, the knowledge which gets disappears now needs to be uncovered and sharpened. At present, there is a need for a new way of interpretation that is suitable for the changing world and new environment, there is a need for relevant examples which are suitable for the present generation. This book explains astrological principles with a new set of examples in the changing environment so that the present generation can understand the hidden meaning behind the ancient texts.
Download or read book The Vedic Astrologer written by James Kalomiris and published by . This book was released on 2019-09-04 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is newest installment of the series, The Secret History of the Vedas. This is a book of astrology like no other. This book presents an entirely new view of astrology as originally conceived by the Vedic astrologer. The Spiritual Legacy of the Nakshatras focuses on the Vedic lunar mansions in the sky and attempts to reveal their wisdom. It attempts to explain the numerous references to all things astronomical and astrological according to the Vedas and explain the true purpose of reading the stars. It traces the creation of the universe from the very beginnings of time and space to the development of the Nakshatras. It shows how this evolution guides the worshiper in the spiritual journey. The Vedic astrologer also describes the wisdom contained in the Nakshatras and methods by which this wisdom may be incorporated into the worshiper's life. Because this is what the Nakshatras have to give. The purpose of the lunar mansions was not to tell the future, but to guide the worshiper, to provide the religious edification of the worshiper in the now and present, and to provide the spiritual and religious structure to the Vedic dharma. Accordingly, this book is not concerned with forecasting into the future. It is as astrology was intended to be-a vehicle of spiritual advancement. It is all explained in and through The Vedic Astrologer.

Download or read book Dulakara Ephemeris and Almanac 2015 Ce written by B. Sri Harsha Indrasena and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-05-12 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Dulakara Vaidik Panchanga differs from other existing publications of similar nature in two main ways. Firstly it uses Dulakara Ayanamsha, which has been devised by excluding the error imparted by the atmospheric refraction on the observed position of star Spica as given in the Surya Siddhanta. Secondly the Dulakara Vaidik Panchanga gives the names of lunar and solar months in both synodic and Vaidik forms, as applicable to the current era following the principles and terminology given in the Vedanga Jyotish and the Surya Siddhanta. This is a kind of reformed Vedic calendar. Astonishingly in doing so this Panchanga retains the sidereal nature of computations. This is in marked contrast to the other proposed reformed Vedic calendars that maintain either the pure sidereal or pure tropical method of calculations only but not a blend of both. Dulakara Vaidik Panchanga maintains the Vedic tradition of calendar making by introducing a SEASONAL-SIDEREAL calendar for the first time in recent history.The principles used in this Panchanga have been discussed in “Vedic Astronomy and Astrology through Science, Wisdom and Commonsense”. This book is also available at Amazon.com for purchase at a nominal price.The Dulakara Vaidik Panchanga series is based on Ujjain, India, Longitude 75° 46' East Latitudes 23° 11'. It can be used effectively in countries where the Indian Standard Time (IST), which is GMT + 5.5 hours, is used, i.e. India and Sri Lanka.
Download or read book Vedic Cosmography and Astronomy written by Richard L. Thompson and published by . This book was released on 1989-11-25 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The mysteries of the Fifth Canto of the Srimad- Bhagavatam have long puzzled students of Vedic cosmography and astronomy. Confronted with a description of the universe that seems much at variance with the information provided by our senses and standard astronomical calculations, foreign observers-and even Indian commentators-from the Middle Ages up to the present have concluded that the Bhagavatam's account, elaborated in other Puranas, must be mythological. On the other hand, the same persons have been much impressed with Vedic astronomical treatises, the jyotisa-sastras, which provide remarkably accurate measurements of the solar system. In Vedic Cosmography and Astromomy, Dr. Thompson shows that the Fifth Canto's cosmography and the accounts of the solar system found in the jyotisa- sastras are not contradictory, but that they in fact represent distinct yet mutually consistent ways of comprehending a universe with important features beyond the range of ordinary sense perception. solar system found in the jyotisa-sastras are not contradictory, but that they in fact represent distinct yet mutually consistent ways of comprehending a universe with important features beyond the range of ordinary sense perception.

Download or read book Vedic Astrology Digest written by K. Charak and published by . This book was released on 2019-05-11 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ancient Indian culture of the Vedic times is an extremely rich and exalted culture. During this period, which goes back several thousand years B.C., the various arts and sciences attained a pinnacle of ascendancy. The brilliance of the advocates of this culture lies in the fact that they inculcated it in their daily chores. Over a period of time, the Vedic culture became a way of life in India. Civilizations rose and fell, but the Vedic culture survived because it had become a physiological constituent of its practitioners. Indian astrology has always been an inseparable limb of the Vedic culture. It has been labelled as the 'eye' of the Vedas, the unquestioned repository of knowledge. It is only appropriate that this knowledge be made available to the sincere seeker who does not have easy access to it. The Vedic Astrology Digest is being published with this aim of disseminating knowledge related to Vedic astrology and culture. To achieve this end, the Editor and the Publisher of the Vedic Astrology Digest seek the cooperation and indulgence of all the sincere seekers of ancient wisdom. The Vedic Astrology Digest will be a multi-volume publication. The highlights of the first volume are as follows: * Highly researched and authentic articles based primarily on the Parashari system of Vedic astrology by some of the most eminent writers, present and past, on the subject. * An in-depth analysis of the various aspects of the enigmatic eighth house, highlighting its positive aspects no less than the negative. * A section devoted to misgivings in astrology covering a host of important subjects like sadhe-sati, debilitation, cancellation of debilitation, combustion, retrogression, planetary conjunction, Mangala-dosha, etc. * Basics of astronomy as relevant to astrology, incorporating the ancient Indian concepts. * A small section giving hints about the unique system of Chakras in Vedic astrology. * Stories of the grahas extracted from the Puranas, showing their deep relevance to astrology. * A few 'Mantras' extracted from the Vedas as relevant to astrology. * Rich material on several other aspects of Vedic astrology, including lost horoscopes, Gulika, profession, nakshatras in the zodiac, etc. * Verily, this work would be found valuable alike by the amateur and the professional, the student and the scholar.
