RARE ASTROLOGY BOOKS

RARE BOOKS ON ASTROLOGY FOR THE SEEKERS

I have got some rare books as under which I would like to make accessible to all
Astrologers who may be interested. Some of them are advanced, while the others
are good for both beginners and Experts.
These will come as Photostat Copies in Spiral binding to you, since the Original
s are not available, either due to reprinting not done or no copies available an
ywhere for sale.
1) Vedic Numerology. By Shri GV Chaudhary published from Bhartiya Vidya Bhuvan,
Mumbai.
This is a rare book and an advanced book on astrology conjoined with astronomy n
ot easy for all to understand. This was first published in 1968. This book conta
ins illustrations on how to find the longevity of a Native to his day of death.
It also contains illustrations on how to find the marriage day of a native. This
book is not meant for an Ordinary student. (Pages 365)
Comments -This book whether one may understand or not, is worth keeping. It s the
only one of its kind in the world.
2) Varahamihira's Brihat Jataka by V.Subramanya Sastri.
I have got quite a few translations of the Brihata Jatak, but not any as good as
this one.
The second edition of this book was published in 1971. The best part of this boo
k is that after every shloka the Notes given by the author compile almost every
other author in the rendering of the meaning of the shloka, given alongwith expl
anations. This is like few teachers explaining the shloka to us in first person.
The index of this Book itself contains 32 Pages and one can immediately search
for the shlokas of any event one is looking for.
(Pages 548)
Comments This is a must have book to refer to by any novice or Expert in astrolo
gy.
3) Nakshatra Chintamani by Chandrakant R Bhatt.
This book has always been out of print and one has to find ways and means of acq
uiring the same. The traditional Astrologers most of them most of the times find
themselves at cross roads when it comes to Predictions, though they are experts
at Theory work. But this is not astrology. One is interested in our Predictions
and not in our lectures on character or nature analysis when one comes to us wi
th his chart. This book will teach you how to predict in the most simplest manne
r ever you may have ever imagined. Once you understand this book after a couple
of readings through the numerous illustrations given in same, you will be able t
o consider yourself as a KP Astrologer. (Pages 168)
Comments I recommend this book for any astrologer who wishes to fine tune his pr
edictions. You will thank me after you have gone through it.
4) Indian Astrology by C.J. Krishnaswamy.
First published in 1956. This is a basic book on Indian astrology but among the
best I found in 25 years of journey through books. Here certain approaches are m
entioned in such a simpler and novel manner and methods that one cannot help but
marvel at the truths which so strikingly we may have missed all these years tho
ugh in front of us always. (Pages 215)
Comments I recommend this for all New entrants and Experts also for reading and
understanding all the Lagnas, houses, ways of examining the Horoscope, and how t
o predict .
5) Nadi System of prediction (Stellar Astrology) by Rattanlal.
First edition in 1983. This book is small in number of Pages but very vast in in
formation. It contains the Original Predictive Principles of Nadi Astrology whic
h may be an eye opener to all, because a glaring fact may open up in front of Yo
u, that nadi astrology of the ancients was actually all based on nakshatras and

Gunas of the Planets. (Pages 136). This is the Original wrok from which KP (Kris
hnamurthy Padhaty has evolved)
Comments
All may not understand this. So only who prefer Nakshatra in Nadi may r
equest for this book.
6) Rapheals Ephemeris from Year 1936 to Year 2000
(App.1200 Pages)
Comments This is only for those who are into manual Chart making or wish to lear
n the same and want authentic data of the planetary positions on any date for ab
ove Years. This is not readily available so may not be available at all times.
7) Commercial Ever Ready Numerology by Pt. Ganga Prasad
(Best application of Numbers to forecasting Market prices and winners in Lotteri
es and Horse racing etc.)
This book was written it seems before 1960's in time of Rupees and annas. Some u
se of Western astrology (Aspects) as well as Dhruvank etc. has been done to reac
h desired results. The author has given rules of forecasting daily rise and fall
in prices of commodities and Shares. A good number of examples have been presen
ted as illustrations.
Comments I have not personally used the principles mentioned therein for am not
into Racing, Lottery or into Shares. (At least not presently).

8) Planetary influence on markets Revised by NL Patel.

been taken into account. This book does not deal with regards to gambling or Rac

otton,Rubber,Jute, Bullion and Individual Shares. The author is obviously a Beng
