Hindu Horary Astrology [AP]

The author of Hindu Horary Astrology, an English translation of Neelkantha’s Prasnatantra is Mr. G. Sri Ram Murthi already well known to the astrological public. He has been in the field of astrological study and has made a work of his own. He has been serving the cause of astrology in a silent and unostentaitious manner.

The present work, for which I have been asked to contribute a Foreword, is rich and exhaustive and deals with “Prasnastra” or Horary Astrology. In three chapters, the entire gamunt of “Prasnasastra” has been convincingly covered by Neelkantha the Orignal author, and Mr. Rama Murthy has spread no pains to make the translations true to the original and easily understandable by an average student of astrology, adding his own observations wherever necessary and illustrating them with examples. As far as my humble knowledge goes, the existing books in English on Hindu Horary Astology are not exhaustive. But the present work is so planned that it deals with the questions pertaining to each Bhava systematically, enableing one to attempt answer to questions bearing on different aspects of life.

I have no doubt that the book will be welcomed by the astrological world as an important addition to the existing literature on the subject and that it will have the demand it richly deserves. Horary Astrology, as a method of divination, has its own limitations and not for getting answer to each and sundry questions which can be dealt with by commonsense.

I commend the present the volume to every student of astrology and wish Mr. Rama Murthy every success in his laudable efforts in bringing to light such valuable ancient treaties.
