Practical Vedic Astrology [SP]

To be honest, I am no writer and I have never even remotely contemplated writing a book, that is, till this one, which came to be rather under certain pull and push circumstances. But that is a different story. In fact, besides what I could not escape writing during my academic and professional career, I have written nothing. Some letters may be I am shy of writing. The credit of pushing this book through print goes to certain friends, who immensely liked my diaries, in which I had preserved the hard earned fruits of my long, arduous, painful and very frustrating journey in the pursuit of astrology. Their incessant insistence to put these into print became such a pestering that I could not escape. I am not much of a fighter either, so I gave in.

The format of the book bears the testimony to the fact that I have shirked writing and resorted to compiling instead. I have strived to offer the bare technical data, the tenets and the working rules- but all devoid of any trimmings and frills of a writer. Earnestly, all that I can say is that the material provided between the covers of this book is time tested and should hold fast in over 70 per cent of cases, a highly commendable success rate for any field of scientific discipline.
