This text has received few appreciations from our readers and it shows how many have understood the depth of what is there in this text. An American wrote to us requesting us to quickly translate the whole text and we felt happy that someone wants more of this and presumably understands the greatness of this text. The need of the hour is for a pure astrologer to decode Karma Vipak Samhita, it is not an ordinary text though it seems to be and will be discarded by 99% of the astrologers. Before any manuscript/text is discarded one should think why would an ancient writer/rishi ever write such a piece of knowledge, would he be having lesser intelligence than me, if one follows this criteria he would never find any text useless, something that most young ones are finding these days. Astrologers need to decode the nakshatra phalas vis-à-vis every chart that comes to them with respect to the same nakshatra and same charana. The chart that shows the same indications will give the clue/direction in decoding and understanding this great work and then the parihara (remedies) need to be performed, tested if relief is obtained and then that astrologer needs to write a commentary on his decoding.
