Book Description
In The Divine Forces of the Lunar Naksatras, the ancient Vedic portrayal of the twenty-seven naksatra rulers are revealed. Included are their characterizations, mystical powers, sacrificial roles, myths and legends. The translation of several critical Sanskrit texts never before available to the Jyotisa community are presented. Testimonial: "The Divine Forces of the Lunar Nakshatras is a great resource for any Vedic astrologer who is truly interested in understanding the mythology behind the Nakshatras. It is a scholarly work that deserves a place on every Jyotishi's bookshelf!" James Kelleher "This book is an extraordinary labor of love birthed after a decade-long gestation period. I have not encountered any other work on nakshatras deities that has been so thoroughly researched and has woven together the Vedic and Puranic references into a coherent thesis. The attention to detail is astounding as is the dedication to faithful transliteration of the Sanskrit and the care given to cite the original sources. It is a serious work that will greatly facilitate further research and inquiry on the part of lovers of the Vedic tradition." Penny Farrow

Your Healing Stars
Author: Radhe
Publisher: Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
ISBN: 9781503074606
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 224
Book Description
Your Healing Stars: Volume I is the foundation for Your Healing Stars: Volume II, The Integration of Ayurveda and Vedic Astrology, written by the same author. In this book, the layout of the birth chart is rendered and essential graha (planet), rashi (constellation) and bhava (house) characteristics are explained. A special chapter on advanced bhava meanings provides an in-depth examination of the 12 bhavas and presents the concept of bhavat bhavam (bhava from bhava) and bhava reflection. Included are beautiful illustrations of the 9 planetary deities and the 27 ruling godheads of the lunar nakshatras. Volume I also incorporates more advanced topics, including a comprehensive discussion of graha condition, important yogas and various confluence techniques. One of the greatest gifts of Vedic Astrology is its many predictive systems. Popular timing techniques explained in this volume include the Vimshottari system of dashas and bhuktis and Gochara (planetary transits). When the birth chart shows a potential for certain events and experiences to occur, then dashas-bhuktis and transits serve as astrological timing triggers that "ripen" the particular event and produce life-changing events, such as a marriage, the birth of a child, a new career path or severe illness. To make accurate predictions, we have to marry the static nature of the Vedic birth chart with dynamic timing triggers. Lastly, the biggest stumbling block for students of Vedic Astrology is where to begin the birth chart interpretation process. Without a sensible process for chart interpretation, we find our eyes gazing hopelessly at varied planetary configurations, wondering how to integrate and summarize our findings into a message that is insightful and constructive to the client. Volume I offers a comprehensive methodology developed and used successfully by the author. It incorporates the techniques and concepts presented in this book.

Exploring Ancient Skies
Author: David H. Kelley
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 038726356X
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 623
Book Description
Exploring Ancient Skies brings together the methods of archaeology and the insights of modern astronomy to explore the science of astronomy as it was practiced in various cultures prior to the invention of the telescope. The book reviews an enormous and growing body of literature on the cultures of the ancient Mediterranean, the Far East, and the New World (particularly Mesoamerica), putting the ancient astronomical materials into their archaeological and cultural contexts. The authors begin with an overview of the field and proceed to essential aspects of naked-eye astronomy, followed by an examination of specific cultures. The book concludes by taking into account the purposes of ancient astronomy: astrology, navigation, calendar regulation, and (not least) the understanding of our place and role in the universe. Skies are recreated to display critical events as they would have appeared to ancient observers - events such as the supernova of 1054, the 'lion horoscope' or the 'Star of Bethlehem.' Exploring Ancient Skies provides a comprehensive overview of the relationships between astronomy and other areas of human investigation. It will be useful as a reference for scholars and students in both astronomy and archaeology, and will be of compelling interest to readers who seek a broad understanding of our collective intellectual history.
